Introduction: One year after the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, China has made substantial progress in the prevention and control of the pandemic, while the epidemic situation remains grim in China since virus may easily survive with the falling temperature in winter. The present study aimed to compare the prevalence and associated factors of anxiety between high-risk and low-risk nurses 1 year after the COVID-19 outbreak, and examine the association between resilience and anxiety and its underlying mechanisms.Method: Connor-Davidson Resilience scale, Perceived Social Support Scale and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale were administrated to 701 nurses from Jiangsu Province, China, 1 year after the COVID-19 outbreak. The mediating effect was examined by Mackinnon's four-step procedure, while the moderated mediation model was tested by Hayes PROCESS macro.Results: The findings presented the prevalence of anxiety among nurses was 21.4% 1 year after the COVID-19 pandemic. High-risk nurses presented a higher prevalence of anxiety (24.5 vs. 19.3%) than low-risk nurses. Age and professional title were significantly associated with anxiety only in high-risk nurses (all P < 0.05). Perceived social support mediated the association between resilience and anxiety and the indirect effect was stronger for high-risk nurses than low-risk nurses.Conclusion: Anxiety remains prevalent among nurses 1 year after the COVID-19 outbreak, and resilience plays a protective role against anxiety. Programs that enhance resilience and social support should be designed and special attention should be paid to nurses from high-risk units.

“…However, empirical studies do not reach a consensus on the two ways that social support affects individual mental health. Some studies have found evidence of the main or stress-buffering effect of social support on health [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. For example, a study on the mental health of incarcerated offenders showed that perceived social support helps safeguard the mental health of offenders [ 29 ].…”

Employing a national representative survey (the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey 2016, CLDS2016) data (N = 14246), this paper examines the heterogeneous influences of social support on individual physical and mental health in China. Social support is characterized by four dimensions: emotional support, tangible or instrumental support, interaction or exchange support, and community support. Physical health is measured by self-rated health and body mass index (BMI), while mental health is measured by depression, hopelessness, failure, fear, loneliness, and meaninglessness. The results indicate that different dimensions of social support have heterogeneous effects on individual physical and mental health. Specifically, the correlation between emotional support and individual physical health is not significant, but emotional support is significantly related to some mental health variables. Tangible or instrumental support is significantly related to individual self-rated physical health but not to BMI or mental health. Interaction or exchange support is significantly correlated with individual self-rated health and some mental health variables. In general, there are significant correlations between community support, and individual physical and mental health. The results also suggest that the influences of social support on physical and mental health of individuals at different ages (<60 years and ≥60 years) are heterogeneous. The results of this study provide direction for the dimension selection of social support to promote individual health.

“…There was an opposite relationship between them. Self-perception adoption means self-acceptance, a factor that increases psychological resilience (Huang et al, 2020). Having a positive self-acceptance creates self-esteem (Öner, 2019).…”

“…One of the findings of our study is that there is a positive relationship between psychological resilience and income level. A study reveals that people who express their monthly income as sufficient have higher psychological resilience than those who express as insufficient (Pınar et al, 2018) and another reveals that individuals with higher monthly family income have higher resilience scores (Huang, 2020). Good family economic conditions are protective factors of psychological resilience, which could provide individuals with more physical and emotional support, making offenders more optimistic and confident, thus increasing the level of their resilience (Oliveira et al, 2017).…”

Psychological resilience is defined as an individual's ability to positively adjust and adapt to adversity, difficulty, misfortune, or potentially traumatic event to maintain mental health. Psychological resilience is an innate personality trait and a process of positive adaptation when becoming face to face with adversity which can emerge at different life stages depending on the situation. Jealousy is a powerful emotion defined as a negative feeling that arises when an difficulty which includes perceiving a threat from someone else to a valued relationship. This complex emotion, which contains the feelings of anxiety and fear in his heart, is felt as a result of a damage or loss that may occur due to the physical or fantasy existence of a third person who is seen as a rival in bilateral relations. Feelings of anxiety and fear, which are among the most basic contents of jealousy, are clear signs that the individual does not adapt to the situation they face. In this respect, the main hypothesis of our study is that there is an inverse relationship between resilience and jealousy in young adulthood. The research of the study, which was conducted online in 2021, consists of 188 female (75.2%), 62 are male (24.8%), in total 250 volunteers who’s age are between 18-45 (mean age of the sample is 29) who lives in Istanbul. The findings of our study showed that there is an inverse relationship between resilience and jealousy. Keywords: adulthood, pscyhological resilience, jealousy
