“…The study findings of the Hindi PSS-10 revealed a three-component structure which is in variance with previous studies which had supported a two-component structure comprising of "perceived helplessness" and "perceived self-efficacy for coping." [25,26] The three-component structure in our study additionally indicates the presence of "distress. "…”

“…The amount of total variance explained by the two-component structure was 51%, which is consistent with previously published studies on PSS-10. [25][26] Furthermore, the three-component structure of our study explained 61% of the total variance. Our study found that mean perceived stress level measured by the PSS-10 was 18.69 in men and 19.75 in women.…”

Background: Increasing stress has been recognized as a major public health problem in the developing world accelerated by an ongoing demographic, economic, and sociocultural transition. Our study objectives were to validate a Hindi version of the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and to also assess the extent of perceived stress and its correlates among an adult population in an urban area of Delhi. Methodology: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban resettlement colony of Delhi among 480 adult subjects aged 25--65 years, during the period from January to December 2015. The PSS-10 was translated into Hindi and validated in the study population. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 25. Results: A total of 243 (50.6%) men and 237 (49.4%) women were enrolled. The scale had an acceptable level of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.731). A principal component analysis was run on the PSS-10 data, based on which a three-component structure was accepted, which explained 61% of the total variance. The mean PSS score was 19.25 (SD = 4.50) years. Perceived stress was highest in the 35--50 age group. On multivariate analysis, low socioeconomic status and a white-collar occupation were found to be associated with increased perceived stress (P < 0.001). Conclusion: A high burden of perceived stress exists in residents of a low-income urban population in India.

“…Three well-known scales, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale [18], Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) [19] and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), were used to assess the anxiety, depression and stress of the respondents [20]. We used the validated Bengali versions of the questionnaires [21,22,23]. All these scales showed acceptable reliability among our participants (Cronbach's Alpha was 0.858, 0.794 and 0.630 respectively for GAD-7, PHQ-9 and PSS scales, respectively).…”

Background: The psychological burden of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak and lockdown strategy among young people not diagnosed with COVID-19 in the general population remains unknown and often have been overlooked. The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence and predictors of anxiety, depression and stress among young people diagnosed with COVID-19 of Bangladesh amidst the pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from 1 May to 30 May 2020 using an online Google formbased questionnaire posted on Facebook. A snowball sampling approach was used for data collection. A total of 974 self-declared healthy individuals not diagnosed with COVID-19 participated here. Anxiety, depression and stress were measured using Bangla validated Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) scale, and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), respectively. Statistical software SPSS 20 was used for analysis. Result: Average age of the population was 25.86 AE 6.26 (SD) years with nearly half (48.6%) of them being young people (15 to 24 years). Most of the participants were male (76.3%). The overall prevalence of anxiety, depression and stress was found to be 64.1%, 73.3% and 69.4%, respectively. Young people had significantly higher proportion of anxiety (67.2% vs 61.1%), and depression (78.2% vs 68.7%) compared to adults (p ¼ 0.045 and p < 0.001, respectively). However, most of the participants had mild depression (30.3%), minimal anxiety (31.4%), and moderate stress (67.5%), and severity of depression and anxiety was higher in the young participants. The mean GAD-7, PHQ-9 and PSS scores were 7.57 AE 5.61, 9.19 AE 6.15 and 16.02 AE 5.55 (SD), respectively. On multivariable logistic analysis, unemployment (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 3.642; Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.005-13.200; p < 0.05) was the single most important predictor of depression. For stress, unemployment (AOR 1.399; CI: 1.055-1.855), and female sex (AOR 1.638; CI: 1.158-2.317) were significant predictors. Conclusion: Anxiety, depression and stress were highly prevalent among young people ( 24 years) not diagnosed with COVID-19 in Bangladesh amidst the pandemic. Unemployment is the most common underlying determinant. Authorities should address the issue on a priority basis.

“…Other studies have demonstrated the feasibility and promise of real time social media sites to study the patient experiences of LGBTQ communities but only in small-scale content analyses, and they did not consider how geographic variation in political identity may shape these experiences [ 31 , 32 ]. In these ways, online social media information from LGBTQ patients can provide researchers with unfiltered accounts of patient experience and help develop an understanding of the complexities surrounding LGBTQ health disparities [ 33 , 34 ].…”

Background Discrimination in the health care system contributes to worse health outcomes among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) patients. Objective The aim of this study is to examine disparities in patient experience among LGBTQ persons using social media data. Methods We collected patient experience data from Twitter from February 2013 to February 2017 in the United States. We compared the sentiment of patient experience tweets between Twitter users who self-identified as LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ. The effect of state-level partisan identity on patient experience sentiment and differences between LGBTQ users and non-LGBTQ users were analyzed. Results We observed lower (more negative) patient experience sentiment among 13,689 LGBTQ users compared to 1,362,395 non-LGBTQ users. Increasing state-level liberal political identification was associated with higher patient experience sentiment among all users but had stronger effects for LGBTQ users. Conclusions Our findings highlight that social media data can yield insights about patient experience for LGBTQ persons and suggest that a state-level sociopolitical environment influences patient experience for this group. Efforts are needed to reduce disparities in patient care for LGBTQ persons while taking into context the effect of the political climate on these inequities.
