“…Of the 31.9% who reported high levels of fear of COVID-19 infection [7], in addition to fear of COVID-19 infection, social distance such as travel restrictions and economic recession were reported to be significantly associated with depressive symptoms [12]. In addition, 32.1% and 36.4% of respondents felt that they or their family members were susceptible to COVID-19, respectively [7], and 74.6% and 85.9% of pregnant women were concerned about their own health or the health of their fetus, respectively [34].…”

Purpose: This purpose of the study was to investigate the factors both risk and protective associated with depression among pregnant women during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: A literature search was conducted on July 2022, through PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, CiNii, and the Japan Medical Abstract Society databases, with the keywords "COVID-19", "pregnant women", and "depression". The titles/abstracts were screened based on three selection criteria: 1) inclusion of pregnant women; 2) description of depression; and 3) description of the factors associated with depression among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Of the 213 articles extracted, 104 were excluded owing to duplication, and 14 were excluded because they comprised other article types, including reviews and commentaries. Finally, 40 were excluded by title, abstract, and full-text screening. Among the 45 articles for a total of 59,329 pregnant women that met the inclusion criteria, the risk factors were "distress from COVID-19-related experiences", "reduced/low income", "unemployment", "anxiety", "history of mental illness", "lack of social support", and "reduced/no exercise". The protective factors "greater/increased social support", "higher education level", "higher resilience", and "healthy lifestyle behaviors" were much less frequently reported than risk factors, and none were reported to be relevant for Japanese pregnant women. Conclusion: The findings indicate that preventive interventions should begin during pregnancy with a focus on these risk factors. In addition, the protective factors need to be strengthened. Further research is required to identify the protective factors associated with depression among Japanese pregnant women.

“…Although traditionally the largest scholarship on workplace mobbing studies is associated with such scientific fields as psychology, law, sociology and management, a broader interdisciplinary approach, which would be useful for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon, is still needed ( Fahie and Dunne, 2021 ). In this context, it is significant that a quarter of a century ago the World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledged the importance of an individual’s spiritual needs and religious beliefs for health and quality of life ( World Health Organization, 1998 ) and that further research has confirmed that religiosity helps to cope with stress, fear, and anxiety ( Prazeres et al, 2021 ), to overcome depression ( Bakır et al, 2021 ) and psychological trauma accompanied by post-traumatic stress disorder ( Harris et al, 2021 ). However, despite the existing evidence, religious spiritual assistance for the victims of mobbing, which responds to the person’s specific needs, remains under-researched in the scientific literature, both theoretically and empirically ( Vveinhardt and Deikus, 2022a ).…”

Research shows that in providing assistance to individuals who have experienced psychological traumas, it is beneficial not only to take into account the specific religious spiritual needs but also to employ religious resources. Although the role of religious counsellors using various psychological theories in helping to cope with traumatising experiences is acknowledged, there is still a lack of a conceptualising approach to the possibilities of employing religious resources used in Christian spiritual assistance, seeking to help cope with the effects of workplace mobbing. Therefore, this study aims to conceptualise the perspective of integrating Christian spiritual assistance resources in overcoming the individual consequences of workplace mobbing. This review is based on an interdisciplinary approach and abundant literature of psychology, psychotherapy and theology sciences. The article details the main physical, psychological and social aspects of damage to the person, caused by mobbing, which provide for a corresponding triple assistance perspective. After highlighting the essential resources provided by the Christian religion for coping with traumatic experiences, the necessity to consider the religious needs of the victims of mobbing is reasoned and the possibilities of using religious spiritual resources are discussed. In the context of helping victims of mobbing, two main functions of Christian spiritual assistance are distinguished and discussed: auxiliary and main. The results of this review are a useful resource for lay and religious counsellors and encourage their collaboration. The research findings also provide a basis for further research on the use of religious resources in the context of helping victims of mobbing.

“…Pregnant women faced difficulties in obtaining adequate antenatal care during the COVID-19 pandemic due to limited access to health care [ 14 , 15 ] and were reluctant to visit antenatal care due to fear of COVID-19 infection, resulting in a decrease in antenatal care visits [ 16 ]. Furthermore, pregnant women were concerned about their own and their babies’ health [ 17 ]. A study reported that pregnant couples were more likely comply with COVID-19 preventive behaviors due to a heightened fear of COVID-19 [ 18 ].…”

Pregnancy during the pandemic may be a stressful life event. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the actor and partner effects of the fear of COVID-19, depression, posttraumatic growth, and marital adjustment on the health promotion behaviors of pregnant couples during the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea. Data were collected from 123 pregnant couples using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). The actor effects of the fear of COVID-19, depression, and posttraumatic growth on the health promotion behaviors of pregnant women and their spouses were significant. Furthermore, both actor and partner effects of husbands’ marital adjustment on health promotion behaviors were significant. When carrying out nursing intervention for the health promotion of pregnant couples, programs aimed at reducing depression and improving posttraumatic growth in pregnant couples should be included. In addition, improving marital adjustment will positively affect the health promotion behaviors of pregnant couples. The findings highlight the important role of healthcare providers in assessing depressive symptoms and fear of COVID-19 in pregnant couples and providing support to promote health behaviors as part of prenatal care.
