“…The transition to remote study has posed challenges for learning institutions worldwide [54] . However, for students with ADHD, this medium of learning is particularly problematic [9] , [55] – [58] . For example, Laslo-Roth and colleagues [59] found that students with ADHD reported higher levels of loneliness and more negative experiences with distance learning than non-ADHD peers, including fewer routines [60] .…”

“…The closure of social services, which provide essential support for many people with disabilities, has drawn a scenario where the demands placed on families have been intensified, requiring them to provide full‐time support for their relatives with disabilities (Lučić et al, 2020). The literature published so far coincide in noting that the combination of pre‐existing stressors associated with the needs of the family member with disability and the stressors arising from the restrictions placed to curb the pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health and emotional wellbeing of the families and caregivers of people with disabilities (e.g., Alhuzimi, 2021; Althiabi, 2021; Asbury et al, 2021; Greenway & Eaton‐Thomas, 2020; Grumi et al, 2021; Lee et al, 2020; Masi et al, 2021; Neece et al, 2020; Rose et al, 2020; Saline, 2021). The additional stressors that affect families and are associated with the exceptional nature of the health emergency can be summarised as follows: (a) the duty of providing ongoing support for their relatives with disability, especially to meet their healthcare, social, and educational needs (e.g., Asbury et al, 2021; Cacioppo et al, 2020; Chafouleas & Iovino, 2021; Eshraghi et al, 2020; Greenway & Eaton‐Thomas, 2020; Simón et al, 2021); (b) to deal with reconciling work and care for the family member with disability (e.g., Colizzi et al, 2020; Ren et al, 2020; Rose et al, 2020), the line between specific support services' and families' responsibilities becoming blurred (Canning & Robinson, 2021); (c) social isolation (Lightfoot et al, 2021; Sienko, 2020); and (d) new family concerns brought about by the health situation, such as household economy or the long‐term effects that COVID‐19 might have on the person with disability (e.g., Asbury et al, 2021; Neece et al, 2020; Redquest et al, 2021).…”

Aim This study analysed the impact that COVID‐19 and the response measures implemented by the Spanish Government have had on families of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Method Data on 323 family members (M = 52.3 years old; SD = 10.5) were collected through an online survey, which was focused on analysing difficulties experienced and service provision during lockdown. Results Many families (66.3%) have seen their level of stress increased during lockdown because of, among other reasons, a greater burden of care. Difficulties were associated with the closure and changes in disability‐related services. Families of people with extensive support needs have generally experienced greater difficulties. Conclusion Support services should have been considered essential services during lockdown. The failure to receive support has resulted in excessive burden on families, who had to assume a multitude of roles to support their family member with intellectual and developmental disability.

“…The study was based on positive organizational scholarship and sustainable wellbeing approaches. The examination of positive organizational practices was based on a model developed by K. Cameron et al; the examination of life satisfaction was based on a model developed by E. Diener et al, and the examination of psychological capital was based on a model developed by F. Luthans et al The context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought remarkable changes to both the public and private sectors [1,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11]41,68,99,179,180], makes the findings of this study important for strategic management of organizations and their human resources. To sum up, the SEM and other analyses showed that positive organizational practices are linked to life satisfaction and psychological capital in both public and private sector employees' groups, but the features of links are distinctive in the public and private sectors.…”

Public and private sector employees confronted stressful life circumstances that affected the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, new knowledge on possible psychological and organizational resources is needed. This study aimed to explore positive organizational practices, psychological capital, and life satisfaction of employees in the public and private sectors. The survey applied the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Psychological Capital Questionnaire—PCQ-24, validated in the Lithuanian population (the Lith-PCQ-21), and the Positive Organizational Practices Questionnaire. The sample consisted of 582 employees, including 443 public sector and 139 private sector employees. The respondents’ mean age was 42.0981 years (SD = 13.23083). The CFA results confirmed the six-factor structure of positive organizational practices, χ2 = 270,884.785; Df = 406; CFI = 0.996; TLI = 0.996; NFI = 0.995; RMSEA = 0.074 [0.070–0.078]; SRMR = 0.043, the four-factor structure of psychological capital, χ2 = 32,780.109; Df = 190; CFI = 0.983; TLI = 0.980; NFI = 0.978; RMSEA = 0.082 [0.076–0.088]; SRMR = 0.067, and one factor structure of life satisfaction, χ2 = 10,588.246; Df = 10; CFI = 0.999; TLI = 0.999; NFI = 0.999; RMSEA = 0.022 [0.000–0.066]; SRMR = 0.014. The findings revealed that private sector employees demonstrated higher scores of dignity, support, care, forgiveness, and overall positive organizational practices than public sector employees. Private sector employees demonstrated higher optimism scores than public sector employees, and public sector employees demonstrated higher self-efficacy scores than private sector employees. Male employees demonstrated significantly higher scores on dignity, meaning, and forgiveness than females. Significant positive correlations were found between age and resilience, care and age, care and number of working years, care and number of working years in the current organization. Psychological capital mediated the link between positive organizational practices and life satisfaction. Positive organizational practices were linked to life satisfaction and psychological capital in both employees’ groups, but the features of links were distinctive in the public and private sectors. These results signify the importance of positive organizational practices and psychological capital for the life satisfaction of employees.
