“…All participants answered the baseline questionnaires, and 61 of them were invited to complete the PSQI once again after 10 days. The data of this study was a part of a larger study utilizing actigraphy to determine the burden of sleep dysfunction and related correlates, along with several embedded validation studies [ 11 , 19 , 21 ] and a pilot study for the larger planned respondent driven sampling (RDS) project [ 20 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

“…Higher total scores indicate greater depression symptom severity [ 37 ]. The Filipino version of PHQ-9 was used in a previous study among FDWs in Macao with a good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.79) [ 38 ], and validity [ 19 , 39 ]. The Cronbach’s alpha in the present study was 0.78 indicating good internal consistency reliability.…”

“…The principle reason for migration from the Philippines is to seek better economic circumstances and improved financial support for their families [ 18 ]. Several studies conducted in Macao found a high (>25%) prevalence of anxiety and depression [ 19 ]. posttraumatic stress disorder [ 11 ], and a 5% prevalence of gambling problems [ 20 ], and discrimination was associated with these disorders [ 21 ].…”

Objectives: Evaluate the psychometric properties and structural validity of the Filipino version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) among Filipino domestic workers (FDWs). Methods: In Study 1, 131 FDWs completed PSQI and other scales, along with 10-day actigraphic assessment with accompanying electronic daily sleep dairy. A subsample of 61 participants completed follow-up assessment after 10 days. In Study 2, 1363 FDWs were recruited and randomized into two halves. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used in the two halves, respectively. Results: In Study 1, the Cronbach’s alpha of the PSQI was 0.63 at baseline and 0.67 at follow-up. Test-retest reliability for the PSQI global score based on intraclass correlation was 0.63. Convergent validity was supported by the significant associations between the PSQI global score, PSQI components scores, sleep patterns from the daily sleep diary, and measures of depression, anxiety, and rumination. Small correlations between the PSQI global score and measures of daytime sleepiness, social support, and self-reported height, supported discriminant validity. In Study 2, EFA yielded two PSQI factors with acceptable factor loadings. CFA established that this two-factor model, comprised of perceived sleep quality and sleep efficiency, evidenced better model fit than alternative models tested. The Cronbach’s alpha of two factors was 0.70 and 0.81, respectively. Conclusions: The PSQI demonstrated good internal consistency of two factors, and good convergent, and divergent validity. Results can be referenced in future studies to measure and screen sleep dysfunction among clinical and non-clinical populations in the Philippines.

“…As a result of the high incidence of depression and anxiety symptoms reported among quarantined subjects in previous studies [10], depression and anxiety were assessed in the present study. For this, the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) were used; both scales have shown good reliability and validity in both foreign and domestic studies [11,12]. Both scales use a four-point Likert scale (range: 0-3) for each item.…”

Background The emergence of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as a global pandemic has had an impact on the lifestyle of people worldwide. Government measures aimed at containing the spread of the virus have been successful in many places, leading to a relaxation of these measures. To prevent the return of an outbreak in these places, people returning to the workforce are expected to follow proper health behaviours. Therefore, this study investigated COVID-19 related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of employees who are returning to work during the COVID-19 prevention and control period as well as their compliance with recommended COVID-19 preventive behaviours. Methods A cross-sectional study design was used. Data were gathered using an online questionnaire survey from March to May 2020 among 1,300 returning employees in China. Questionnaire items concerned participants’ COVID-19-related knowledge, compliance with recommended preventive behaviours, and levels of depression and anxiety. Univariate and multi-factor methods were used to analyse the data and identify factors influencing behaviour compliance. Results Six hundred and ninety-eight (53.7%) participants showed high compliance, and 602 (46.3%) showed low compliance. High education level (odds ratio [OR] = 5.598, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.846–16.976), white-collar occupation (OR = 1.992, 95% CI: 1.331–2.983), high knowledge of COVID-19 (OR = 1.704, 95% CI: 1.303–2.229), no anxiety (OR = 0.646, 95% CI: 0.463–0.901), and quarantining (OR = 1.320, 95% CI: 1.039–1.676) predicted better compliance with preventive behaviours (p < 0.05). Conclusion Factors such as educational background, occupation, isolation, COVID-19 knowledge level, and psychological anxiety have an impact on the health behaviour of employees returning to work. For employees returning to work during the post-COVID-19-epidemic period, compliance with recommended health behaviours requires improvement. The provision of health education and psychological counselling and the continuance of a strict isolation policy could enhance such compliance.

“…Mental health was assessed by using the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale(GAD-7)(30) for anxiety and the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ-9)(31) for depression. These two questionnaires were widely used to evaluate the mental health in non-patient population (32)(33)(34). Those two questionnaires were rated by a 4-point scale ranged from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day).…”

Background: The COVID-19 related lockdown and home confinement might have an important impact on the quality of life in enterprise workers. We investigated the quality of life during the epidemic in enterprise workers who just returned to work, and assessed its potential influencing factors to have a better understanding of the impact of COVID-19 epidemic lockdown and home confinement.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of enterprise workers conducted in Deqing and Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The Chinese version of EQ5D was used to assess life quality, and information about general characteristics and COVID-19 related factors was collected by a structured questionnaire, which was distributed through the social application “WeChat”.Results: A total of 2,435 participants were enrolled, 59.5% of which worked in Deqing. About 50% of the participants reported worries about the COVID-2019 epidemic and 40.1% had a centralized or home quarantine during the epidemic. The mean EQ-5D score and VAS were 0.990 and 93.5. Multiple logistic regression showed that the quality of life measures was related to physical activities (ORad=0.46) and keeping home ventilation (ORad=0.04) in Deqing, and were related to wearing a mask when going out (ORad=0.35), keeping home ventilation (ORad=0.16), unmarried status (ORad=2.38) and having a centralized or home quarantine (ORad=1.64) in Taizhou,Conclusions: The quality of life for returning enterprise workers in areas with different risks of COVID-19 was affected by different factors. Associated factors identified from this study would help develop proper intervention measures for enterprise workers to reduce the impact of large-scale public health events like the COVID-19 on their quality of life.
