Background & Aims Despite the significant impact of immunosuppressive drugs on controlling and treating certain diseases, their continued use can predispose patients to infectious diseases such as COVID-19, leading to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. This study aims to determine the levels of anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms in patients treated with immunosuppressive drug during the COVID-19 pandemic.Materials & Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 330 individuals treated with immunosuppressive drug such as those with autoimmune diseases, cancer, and transplant recipients in Firoozgar and Rasoul-e-Akram hospitals in Tehran, Iran, from July to December 2022. They were selected using a continuous sampling method. The instruments were a demographic/diseaserelated questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). Data analysis was done in SPSS software, version 16 using descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and inferential (Independent t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlation test) statistics. Results In this study, the mean age of participants was 51.35±12.95 years, and 148 (44.8%) were female. The majority of the patients had normal levels of anxiety and depression (91.2% and 92.1%, respectively). The mean total IES-R score was 27.71 out of 88. The anxiety and depression scores did not have a significant relationship with any demographic, disease-related, and COVID-related characteristics of the study participants, but a significant correlation between income level and total score of IES-R was observed (P=0.043). Conclusion The individuals receiving immunosuppressive drugs in this study, despite being susceptible to COVID-19, had normal levels of anxiety and depression and obtained lower than average score in the IES-R. This finding can reduce the concerns about the mental health of these patients. Further studies using other questionnaires or a qualitative study on the expriences of these patients during the COVID-19 pandemic are recommended.

Background Depressive symptoms is a relatively common mental disorder, which can lead to serious physical, psychological, and social problems. This study aimed to explore the associations between self-efficacy, e-Health literacy and depressive symptoms among Chinese college students and to evaluate the effect of e-Health literacy as a potential mediator. Methods By using a cluster sampling method, 1500 students from two universities were recruited in Nantong City, China. Participants' demographic characteristics, self-efficacy, e-Health literacy and depressive symptoms were collected. OLS was used to explore the associations between variables and the Karlson Holm and Breen method was used to estimate the mediation effect. Results A total of 1388 valid questionnaires were collected. The prevalence of depressive symptoms among the sample was 50.29%. Higher self-efficacy and e-Health literacy were all significantly associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms. E-health literacy partially mediated the association between self-efficacy and depressive symptoms, accounting for 26.6% of the total effect. Conclusion Our results indicated that self-efficacy was negatively associated with depressive symptoms in college students. E-health literacy partially mediated the association between self-efficacy and depressive symptoms. Interventions for college students should include increasing self-efficacy, e-health literacy to attenuate depressive symptoms.
