“…Financial satisfaction may also rationalize our finding that employment status was associated with psychological wellbeing. Consequently, other studies support this finding on a global scale, such as one study that found unemployed status among young Korean adults was significantly associated with increased risk of poor psychological wellbeing [ 36 ], and another study where unemployment was associated with higher prevalence of poorer psychological wellbeing in Spain [ 37 ]. Next, our study found that good overall health status was associated with lower odds of reporting poor psychological wellbeing.…”

The goal of this observational project was to investigate the association among perceived pain interference and poor psychological wellbeing in United States adults. Adults over 18 years of age in the 2019 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey were eligible for inclusion if they were alive for the calendar year and had data available for their pain status. Hierarchical logistical regression examined statistically significant associations among perceived pain interference and poor psychological wellbeing. Results showed that greater levels of perceived pain interference were significantly related with larger odds of reporting poor psychological wellbeing. Additionally, several other variables were related with larger or lower odds of reporting poor psychological wellbeing. These findings provide insight into the effect of perceived pain interference and other variables with poor psychological wellbeing, which may help recuperate the psychological wellbeing of US adults with pain.

“…This aligns with research indicating that young adults are susceptible to mental health issues during COVID-19, primarily due to reduced employment, job uncertainty, and unemployment. 39 Further research is deemed necessary to delve deeper into these issues.…”

Objectives: Work from home (WFH) can increase sleep disturbances. However, only few studies have examined the connection between WFH and sleep disturbance while considering work-family conflict (WFC) and the changes brought about by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to examine the association between WFH and sleep disturbance, considering WFC, and assessed how this association changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We used data from the fifth and sixth Korean Working Conditions Survey. WFH workers and a control group were selected using propensity score matching. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for sleep disturbance in the WFH and control groups. Results: The workers working from home showed significantly higher ORs (95% CIs) for sleep disturbance before (4.26, 3.59-5.05) and during (1.52, 1.26-1.83) COVID-19 pandemic. When stratified by WFC, the association was significant only in the workers with WFC before COVID-19. However, the association was not significant during COVID-19 among the workers with WFC. Conclusions: WFH was significantly associated with sleep disturbance among workers before COVID-19, but this association was not observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering the significant role that WFC plays in this association, companies should provide a family-friendly WFH environment when adopting WFH practices.

“…This can be comprehended in view of the traditional developmental tasks required of the young adults, wherein their major developmental tasks are decision-making on a career path through education, career success for economic independence, and independence from the parental care through marriage ( 63 ). Currently, however, young people in South Korea face a high unemployment rate and an unstable employment environment that, when coupled with various unfavorable socioeconomic conditions, delay the achievement of important life tasks, such as career and marriage ( 22 , 64 , 65 ). This concern be understood in the context of a situation that deprives young people of a sense of belonging, causes conflict with their family, instills a feeling of lacking social respect, prevents them from entering the labor market, which is crucial for forming new social relationships in young adulthood, and results in their social isolation ( 29 , 31 , 66 , 67 ).…”

The recent increase in lonely deaths among young people has emphasized the emergence of social isolation as a social problem. This study investigated the issue of social isolation by examining multidimensional factors that affect social isolation and evaluating the subjective and objective dimensions of young adults. Data for this study were collected for 8 days (February 7–14, 2022) through an online questionnaire survey by a professional survey agency, based on proportional allocation of the young adult population (age 19–39 years); data from 521 young adults were analyzed. Regression analysis was performed using SPSS to identify multidimensional factors (relative deprivation, future outlook, depression, self-esteem, social skills, experience of violence, and online activity) that affect social isolation and showed that: (1) among sociodemographic characteristics, higher age and unemployment were associated with greater social isolation; (2) sociopsychological characteristics, such as higher levels of relative deprivation and depression, more negative future outlook, and lower self-esteem, all correlated with greater social isolation; and (3) among relationship characteristics, lower social skills and a stronger history of experiencing violence were linked to greater social isolation. These results highlight the need for a customized support system at the national level that takes into account the developmental tasks of young adults as a preventive strategy to solve the problem of social isolation of young adults and to devise various strategies to provide them with mental health services.
