Anxiety disorders defined by excess worry, hyperarousal, and fear that is counterproductive and debilitating are some of the most common psychiatric conditions in the Western World. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by an unpleasant state of inner turmoil often accompanied by nervous behavior, such as pacing back and forth, somatic complaints, and rumination. Physicians and nurses are affected by a variety of stressors in their work places because of their responsibility to provide health and treatment to patients. Factors causing anxiety among workers are increasing, and psychosocial causes are the most common. The aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence rate of anxiety among staff members and workers in Mental Hospitals (Maamoura Hospital) and to assess the possible factors that might lead to anxiety among staff members and workers in Maamoura Mental Hospital, and to compare between staff members in Mental and general Chest Hospital regarding anxiety level. From Al Maamoura Mental Hospital 60 subjects and 120 from Al Maamoura Chest Hospital were recruited. Taylor Anxiety rating scale was used to assess the anxiety levels. The prevalence of anxiety in Al Maamoura Mental Hospital on Taylor anxiety rating scale was (76.8%) with different degrees versus 56.6% in the chest Hospital.

Anxiety is a natural response to stress that presents as a feeling of fear, apprehension, and/or nervousness about the present and future (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).…”

“…Anxiety is a natural response to stress that presents as a feeling of fear, apprehension, and/or nervousness about the present and future (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Stress is a bodily response to any type of demand or threat (Niknamian, 2019). Each of these three symptoms must be individually evaluated, and each may have different influencing factors (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995).…”

Background: The birth rate in Taiwan has declined rapidly; thus, encouraging women to give birth is an important issue in the country. Pregnant women may experience psychological distress, which may negatively impact the health of children and mothers. Prenatal psychological distress is more common in multiparous women than in primiparous women. In addition, compared with that in the second and third trimesters, psychological distress in the first trimester is relatively high. Understanding psychological distress and the associated factors for multiparous women in the first trimester is important to providing early interventions and preventing subsequent maternal and child health problems.Purpose: This study was designed to examine the important predictive factors related to depression, anxiety, and stress among Taiwanese multiparous women in the first trimester.Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. In all, 216 multiparous women at 16 weeks of pregnancy were recruited from three hospitals in Taiwan. Self-reported questionnaires were used to gather data on demographic characteristics, the parenting stress of motherhood, spousal support, and psychological distress. A multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the factors associated with psychological distress. Results:The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress in multiparous women was found to be 31.9%, 42.6%, and 11.1%, respectively. The multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the stress related to parent-child interaction was a significant predictor of depression and anxiety, the stress related to child-rearing was a significant predictor of anxiety, and low spousal instrumental support was a significant predictor of stress. The model respectively explained 30%, 27%, and 23% of the variance in depression, anxiety, and stress.Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Reducing the stress related to parent-child interaction and child-rearing and encouraging spousal instrumental support should be considered during prenatal care when designing interventions to reduce the psychological distress of multiparous women in their first trimester.

“…Anxiety is common in seafarers who work long hours in a stressful environment that afford little room for mistakes, and live in a confined space with limited human contacts. It is invisible, includes subjectively unpleasant feelings of dread over anticipated events, and may be triggered by events such as the COVID-19 pandemic (Niknamian, 2019;Seligman et al, 2000;Oldenburg et al, 2010;ILO, 2021).…”

PurposeThis study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the well-being and mental health of the seafarers who had to overstay on ships after their contracts expired, identifies topics that affect their mental distress, and recommends measures to overcome these.Design/methodology/approachFour research questions about the impacts on the seafarers before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were raised. A literature review and a questionnaire survey were conducted to find answers. Ship officers were asked to assess and fill in the questionnaires for the stranded seafarers onboard in order to collect sufficient samples rapidly for this study.FindingsDespite the guidelines provided by the shipping companies are adequate to protect the seafarers from COVID-19, their mental distress levels have been worsened under the pandemic. The crew change crisis causes anxiety and negatively impacts on their working performance; however, the repatriation expectation of the stranded seafarers is of the highest concern. Three topics were identified as having impacts on the mental health of the stranded seafarers: crew change crisis, low vaccination rate, and the lack of key worker recognition. While international stakeholders are advocating for support in these issues, the shipping companies and the seafarers need to do their parts to exacerbate the mental distress, and to survive and thrive beyond the pandemic.Originality/valueThe findings of this study will help the shipping companies to navigate the challenges, and the seafarers to overcome issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
