“…Additionally, we found that individuals with depression symptoms tend to make behavioral changes toward tobacco abuse. This result is consistent with previous research that has demonstrated a positive association between depression and smoking (Rigotti et al, 2021 ; Chen et al, 2022 ). Our study contributes to the growing body of evidence that suggests a potential link between coping strategies for individuals with depression symptoms and behavior changes in tobacco abuse.…”

“…The experience of existential anxiety during the pandemic has led many individuals to become more cognizant of their mortality and to increase their frequency of prayer (Killgore et al, 2020 ; Tomaszek and Muchacka-Cymerman, 2020 ). People's sources of meaning in life help to achieve psychological adaptation (Chen et al, 2022 ). Further research findings suggest that heightened existential questions may be a neglected factor in increasing depression during the pandemic (Fairlamb, 2022 ).…”

“…Taken together, there are many pieces of research on the topic COVID-19 pandemic related to behavioral changes (Chan et al, 2021 ; Fu et al, 2021 ; Lee et al, 2021 ), emotional changes (Fu et al, 2021 ; Chen et al, 2022 ; Dominte et al, 2022 ), and cognitive changes (Thagard, 2021 ), but none of the research examines all three types of changes at once relating to anxiety and depression symptoms in the Czech Republic. The finding emphasizes an urgent need to scale up to more researchers in this area.…”

BackgroundThis study examined the impact of anxiety and depression symptoms during the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic on the behavioral, cognitive, and emotional changes of the Czech population.MethodsThe research sample (n = 2363; 48.83 ± 16.53 years; 50.15% men) was obtained using an online survey. Depression and anxiety symptoms were measured using the Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) and the Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (OASIS) and associations were adjusted for age, gender, and economic status.ResultsThe results showed that increased symptoms of anxiety and depression were significantly linked to feelings of loneliness, helplessness, reduced quality of relationship with a partner, higher probabilities of alcohol abuse, food consumption, and contemplation of existential questions. Higher symptoms of anxiety were associated with feelings of being threatened. Higher symptoms of depression symptoms increased tobacco abuse.ConclusionDuring the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, higher symptoms of anxiety and depression among Czech citizens were associated with behavioral, cognitive, and emotional changes.

“…In line with other studies, we found the expected positive associations of the COVID-19 BVS with the presence of chronic illnesses ( 50 ), support for “living with the COVID” policy, i.e., by reducing the social distancing measures ( 51 ). Congruent with the literature, we found expected negative association of COVID-19 with age ( 13 , 50 , 54 , 59 ), status of COVID-19 vaccination ( 53 ), and attitude toward “dynamic Zero COVID-19 strategy” ( 41 , 54 ).…”

“…For instance, the higher percentage of female than male in the samples may reflect that female was more likely to volunteer for research [e.g. ( 59 )]. Second, because participation was voluntary, it is possible that the study participants showed selective attention to this study topic.…”

Burnout is an important public health issue at times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Current measures which focus on work-based burnout have limitations in length and/or relevance. When stepping into the post-pandemic as a new Norm Era, the burnout scale for the general population is urgently needed to fill the gap. This study aimed to develop a COVID-19 Burnout Views Scale (COVID-19 BVS) to measure burnout views of the general public in a Chinese context and examine its psychometric properties. A multiphase approach including literature review, expert consultation, and pilot testing was adopted in developing the scale. The scale was administered to a sample of 1,078 of the general public in Hong Kong with an average age of 34.45 years (SD = 12.47). Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses suggested a 5-item unidimensional model of COVID-19 BVS. The CFA results indicated that the COVID-19 BVS had a good model fit, as χ2 (10.054)/5 = 2.01, SRMR = 0.010, CFI = 0.998, RMSEA = 0.031. Five items were maintained in EFA with high internal consistency in terms of Cronbach's α of 0.845 and McDonald's ω coefficient of 0.87, and the corrected item-to-total correlations of 0.512 to 0.789 are way above the acceptable range. The KMO values of 0.841 and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity (p < 0.01) verified the normal distribution of the EFA and the adequacy of the EFA sampling. The analyses suggest that the COVID-19 BVS is a promising tool for assessing burnout views on the impacts of the epidemic on the Chinese general populations.
