“…Thus, the screenings for these psychological problems in patients with breast cancer should be initiated pretreatment to identify patients at high risk and conduct interventions, as it has been shown that psychological prehabilitation interventions conducted in the pretreatment phase not only can improve mental health during treatment but also have long-term effectiveness. 7 In line with prior research on patients with breast cancer 28,29 and other populations, 17,[30][31][32] a strong relationship was found between higher levels of perceived stress and increased risk of anxiety and depression. Furthermore, mediation analyses indicated that patients T A B L E 2 (Continued) with breast cancer experienced higher levels of anxiety and depression through increased perceived stress.…”

Objective Women with breast cancer face elevated risk for psychological problems. We aimed to examine to what extent treatment‐naïve women with breast cancer are at higher risk for perceived stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression, compared with matched women with benign breast disease and healthy women, and explore the contribution of perceived stress in the association between breast cancer and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Methods The study included 360 women (120 per group). Perceived stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression were assessed using self‐report questionnaires. We conducted linear and logistic regressions to assess increased risk and mediation analyses to test the role of perceived stress. Results After adjusting for potential confounders, perceived stress in women with breast cancer was 0.71 and 1.58 points higher than in patients with benign breast disease (p = 0.029) and healthy controls (p < 0.001), respectively; they were 1.85–2.44 times more likely to experience anxiety than either control group (p< 0.05) and 3.57 times more likely to experience depression than healthy controls (p < 0.001). The indirect effect of perceived stress between breast cancer and anxiety and depressive symptoms was 0.19–0.47 (p < 0.05). Conclusions This study demonstrates the high risk of perceived stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression in treatment‐naïve patients with breast cancer, and the association between breast cancer and increased anxiety and depressive symptoms through elevated perceived stress. It underscores the need to assess psychological status in pretreatment period and conduct stress‐targeted prehabilitation interventions.

“…Consistent with previous studies of college studies, we also found that multiple psychosocial factors such as senior year (Cao et al ., 2020) and prior mental health problems (Pejovic et al ., 2009; Liu et al ., 2019) were associated with mental health problems. Obviously, freshman tends to have less academic pressure and less worry about future employment (Cao et al ., 2020; Sprung and Rogers, 2020). These factors should also be taken into consideration for effective psychosocial intervention during the COVID-19 epidemic.…”

Aims Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a major public health concern all over the world. Little is known about the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in the general population. This study aimed to assess the mental health problems and associated factors among a large sample of college students during the COVID-19 outbreak in China. Methods This cross-sectional and nation-wide survey of college students was conducted in China from 3 to 10 February 2020. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess psychosocial factors, COVID-19 epidemic related factors and mental health problems. Acute stress, depressive and anxiety symptoms were measured by the Chinese versions of the impact of event scale-6, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, respectively. Univariate and hierarchical logistic regression analyses were performed to examine factors associated with mental health problems. Results Among 821 218 students who participated in the survey, 746 217 (90.9%) were included for the analysis. In total, 414 604 (55.6%) of the students were female. About 45% of the participants had mental health problems. The prevalence rates of probable acute stress, depressive and anxiety symptoms were 34.9%, 21.1% and 11.0%, respectively. COVID-19 epidemic factors that were associated with increased risk of mental health problems were having relatives or friends being infected (adjusted odds ratio = 1.72–2.33). Students with exposure to media coverage of the COVID-19 ≥3 h/day were 2.13 times more likely than students with media exposure <1 h/day to have acute stress symptoms. Individuals with low perceived social support were 4.84–5.98 times more likely than individuals with high perceived social support to have anxiety and depressive symptoms. In addition, senior year and prior mental health problems were also significantly associated with anxiety or/and depressive symptoms. Conclusions In this large-scale survey of college students in China, acute stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms are prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple epidemic and psychosocial factors, such as family members being infected, massive media exposure, low social support, senior year and prior mental health problems were associated with increased risk of mental health problems. Psychosocial support and mental health services should be provided to those students at risk.

“…The work status of students was determined by a yes/no question and it was included in the survey due to the potential negative effect of work-life balance on the students' anxiety level. 20,24 The other factor evaluated was students' exercise habits with two different options including never/occasionally or at least 2-3 times per week.…”

“…Understanding these factors as well as which sample characteristics are associated with a higher level of GA among pharmacy students may help faculty and administrators develop better interventions. 1,[18][19][20][21] Our objective was to examine the prevalence and the level of GA among pharmacy students and assess if there is any relationship between academic distress (AD) and family distress (FD) with GA after adjusting for race, gender, work status and physical activity.…”
