“…Consistent with prior findings, previous mental illness [49], non-heterosexuality [10,11] and intimate partner violence [8,13] were individually associated with higher anxiety and depressive symptoms while perceived social support was associated with lower anxiety and depressive symptoms [18,50]. Together, these variables explained the largest proportion of variance in both anxiety and depressive symptoms with intimate partner violence and perceived social support retaining independent associations with both symptoms.…”

Despite the greater adverse economic impacts in low and middle-income (LAMI) compared to high-income countries, fewer studies have investigated the associations between COVID-19-related stressor and mental health in LAMI countries. The objectives of this study were to determine the associations between COVID-19-related stressors and anxiety and depressive symptoms while controlling for known risk and protective factors and to investigate any sex differences. An online survey was carried out to assess sociodemographic, psychosocial (previous mental health conditions, sexual orientation, intimate partner violence and perceived social support) and COVID-19-related variables. Hierarchical linear regression was carried out with anxiety and depressive symptoms as separate outcomes. Of the COVID-19-related factors, testing positive for COVID-19 infection, having COVID-19 symptoms, having other medical conditions, self-isolating due to COVID-19 symptoms, worry about infection, perception of the pandemic as a threat to income and isolation during the lockdown were significantly associated with higher anxiety and depressive symptoms. Of these, worry about infection, isolation during lockdown and disruption due to the pandemic retained independent associations with both outcomes. The variance in anxiety and depressive symptoms explained by COVID-19-related factors was larger in women (11.8%) compared to men (6.1% and 0.8% respectively). COVID-19-related stressors are associated with higher anxiety and depressive symptoms, with these effects being larger in men compared to women. Enhancing social support can be an affordable strategy to mitigate this risk but this needs to be investigated using appropriate designs.

“…A multinational study which examined the association between social support and mental wellbeing among adolescents reported that increased perception of social support from a caring family member or significant others negatively correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms (Cheng et al, 2014). Apart from the adolescent population, the importance and influence of social support have been described among diverse populations such as caregivers of patients with oncological disorders (Dębska, Pasek, & Wojtyna, 2017), individuals with sudden loss of auditory function (Hricová, 2018), patients receiving treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (Akintayo et al, 2018) and nursing students (Zarzycka, Ślusarska, Dyk, Bednarek, & Trojanowska, 2018).…”

The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) in terms of its factor structure, reliability, validity and measurement invariance across genders has not been examined among Nigerian adolescents. participants and procedureWe evaluated the psychometric properties and gender invariance of the MSPSS among Nigerian senior high school adolescents (N = 1335, M age = 15.15). Other study measures completed were the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory (PANSI), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The four models of the MSPSS described in the literature were compared with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The model with the best fit indices was examined for its internal consistency by calculating the MacDonald's omega (ω) while criterion validity was examined through correlational analyses with other study measures. Measurement invariance in relation to gender was assessed with multigroup nested CFA. resultsOur results confirmed the original 3-factor structure of the MSPSS (Family, Significant others, and Friends). CFA showed that our data equivalently fitted the first (original first order 3-factor) and the fourth (second order 3-factor) MSPSS models. The reliability and criterion validity were satisfactory. Configural, metric and scalar measurement invariances in relation to genders were confirmed. conclusionsThe 3-factor MSPSS either in its original (first-order) or second-order model is useful as a perceived social support assessment instrument among Nigerian adolescents.

“…The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to assess the degree of anxiety with 2 subscales as state anxiety (STAI-S) and trait anxiety (STAI-T) (17). The statements in the inventory are rated from 1 to 4 according to how much of each item the individual is currently feeling (STAI-S) or how often each item is felt (STAI-T).…”

This study aimed to investigate anxiety, sleep quality, and their relationship with inflammation in patients with Takayasu’s arteritis (TA). Twenty-four patients diagnosed with TA and sex and age matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study. The quality of sleep was evaluated by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and anxiety were assessed by The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. The disease activity was evaluated with sedimentation and C-reactive protein (CRP). The levels of anxiety and overall PSQI scores were significantly higher in TA than in healthy controls. Sleep disturbance was identified in half of the TA patients. The presence of systemic findings, CRP, and all subscale items of the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were found to be higher in TA patients with poor sleepers compared to good sleepers. There was a significant correlation between all components of PSQI and anxiety scores. The present study has demonstrated higher anxiety scores and poor sleep quality among patients in TA compared with healthy controls. TA patients with systemic findings and high inflammation should be evaluated for poor sleep quality. Also, remission in disease activity may be associated with better sleep and less anxiety scores.
