“…Higher subscale scores reflect higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in the past week, with a higher sum score representing greater general distress. DASS has been used widely with college populations (Koutra et al, 2020). The Greek translation of the DASS is both reliable and valid, with psychometric properties close to those reported in the international literature as determined by Cronbach's alpha .97.…”

Introduction: Due to the pandemic, individuals with ADHD have been facing noticeable challenges in their daily life. Prolonged quarantine and isolation may contribute to higher affective and PTSD symptoms among college students with ADHD. Aims: The study aimed to explore the impact of COVID-19 on affective symptoms such as depression, anxiety, stress, along with loneliness and post-traumatic stress on college students at risk for ADHD in Greece during the second COVID-19 lockdown in November 2020. Methods: A sample of 362 students completed an online survey consisting of demographic questions and four instruments: the ADHD Self-Report Scale-V1.1 (ASRS-V1.1), the DASS-21, the UCLA Loneliness Scale, and the PTSD checklist (PCL-5). Results: Over 18% of the students met the criteria for being at risk of ADHD, which is higher than in other studies conducted prior to the pandemic. Students at risk for ADHD reported significantly higher (p < .05) mean scores on all scales: depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, and post-traumatic stress. A model to predict at-risk ADHD diagnosis indicated those who presented symptoms of depression, had low GPA, who were employed, were 46% more likely to struggle with ADHD.

“…Research in the period of Covid 19 (Giavrimis & Nikolaou, 2020) on students' social and friendship networks and how they affected students in the midst of a pandemic, found that high social capital can create the right conditions for positive social relationships and interactions of students, for the development of social trust, as a necessary condition for cooperation, productive action and peer behavior. The consequences of the high social capital of students in the pandemic period were particularly positive, emphasizing once again that the development of social and friendly networks and social interaction for the development of initiatives and social trust are key elements of human existence (Almeida et al, 2019;Peng, 2019;Mishra, 2020;Koutra et al, 2020).…”

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of internment and isolation imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic on the socio-emotional status of students preparing for and taking national exams in July 2020. The main result of the study showed a weakness of consciousness and student stress due mainly to the inadequacy of social relationships, daily social contact with people who managed the same situation highlighting the importance of social capital and socialization in dealing with real life situations. The research found an unprecedented stressful situation of students that manifested itself with a lot of intensity and explosive situations (crying before and after exams, provocative behavior, great anger, disorganization, withdrawal desire, tension, conflicts, physical discomfort, intense anxiety and stress). The research also aims to conduct a scientific discussion of the conclusions regarding the conditions created for young people in the context of internment and isolation from any living communication with their classmates and teachers and the consequences in general in the event that this situation will continue into the next school year, as well as the study of ways in which a similar condition can be avoided in the next phase of the pandemic.

“…Self-concept is among the most important factors influencing especially girls' health in this period. Adolescence, due to the internal and external changes, is one of the most sensitive and critical stages of life (1), which can lead to evolutional crisis and disturbing individual balance and emergence of new demands (2,3).…”

Background: Self-concept is among the most important factors influencing health, particularly during adolescent years. Mental health in adolescents, social adaptation, and healthy behaviors require coordination and adaptation with physical and mental changes resulting from this period. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of the Roy adaptation model-based intervention on the self-concept of teenage girls. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2016 on 64 teenage girls with the available random sampling method; subjects were randomly assigned into control and intervention groups. For the intervention group, 12 weeks of intervention were performed as instruction and follow-up. Data were collected before and after intervention using personal information form and a researcher-made questionnaire, including 50 questions of self-concept in teenage girls based on the Roy adaptation model. The validity was examined by content validity, and the reliability was examined by internal consistency with the Cronbach's alpha of 0.74. Finally, data were analyzed using SPSS 16, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency), and analytical tests (independent t-test, chi-square). The significance level was below 0.05. Results: The average age of participants was 14.2 ± 1.21. Average self-concept before intervention in the control group was 171.31 ± 11.95 and in the intervention group was 165.03 ± 17.82 where no significant difference existed (P = 0.10). Average self-concept after intervention on control group was 176.62 ± 12.18 and in the intervention group was 197.06 ± 10.09, where a significant difference existed (P < 0.001). The results of the independent t-test in research groups after intervention showed that the employment of the Roy adaptation model promoted the average self-concept in teenage girls (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Employment of the designed program, based on the Roy adaptation model, can promote the self-concept of girls regarding transformations during their adolescent years.
