“…avoiding crowds, mask wearing, quarantining) which have taken place during the pandemic and sources of social support are related to parent mental health. It is possible that increased vigilance about viral contraction or transmission, tied to these behaviors, is associated with greater worry (Kapoor and Tagat, 2021), fear (Giordani et al, 2020), and anxiety, especially for parents whose caregiving role involves protecting the health of their children and family members. On the other hand, it is possible that preventive health behaviors constitute a means of active coping that may be optimal for one’s mental health (Li and Xu, 2020; Nelson et al, 2014).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted millions of lives, with life stress and daily hassles having a potential impact on parent mental health. This study examined whether preventive health behaviors (e.g. social distancing, mask wearing) and social support relate to parent mental health. In a cross-sectional analysis of parents ( N = 176, May–September 2020), life events and daily hassles were positively associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms. Preventive health behaviors moderated the association between daily hassles and depressive symptoms. Preventive health behaviors may protect those with high levels of daily hassles from moderate levels of depression.

“…Only 12 studies took an explicitly cross‐cultural perspective. The constructs under measurement included individualism versus collectivism (e.g., Tang et al, 2021), cultural distance (e.g., Kapoor & Tagat, 2021) and worldviews on nature (e.g., Haas et al, 2021). Gokmen et al (2021) found cultural differences to predict COVID‐19 severity in very highly developed European countries using measurement of six cultural dimensions.…”

“…For measures, the exclusive reliance on self-report methods inflates shared method variance and also increases the likelihood of social desirability bias (i.e., overreporting or underreporting; Tunçgenç et al, 2021). Another concern noted was that newly developed COVID-19 scales may not yet accurately capture the complexity of COVID-19-related experiences (Götz et al, 2021), and, on a related note, that findings in this early stage of the pandemic may under-represent mental health concerns that might only emerge over a longer period of the pandemic (Kapoor et al, 2021).…”

International psychological research addressing the early phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic: A rapid scoping review and implications for global psychology

et al. 2021

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID‐19 a global pandemic. Given that keeping abreast of international perspectives and research results is of particular importance for such massive global emergencies, we employed a scoping review methodology to rapidly map the field of international psychological research addressing this important early phase of the pandemic. We included a total of 79 studies, with data mostly collected between March and June 2020. This review aimed to systematically identify and map the nature and scope of international studies examining psychological aspects of the unfolding COVID‐19 pandemic. We mapped key research themes, subfields of psychology, the nature and extent of international research collaboration, data methods employed, and challenges and enablers faced by psychological researchers in the early stages of the pandemic. Among the wide range of themes covered, mental health and social behaviours were the key themes. Most studies were in clinical/health psychology and social psychology. Network analyses revealed how authors collaborated and to what extent the studies were international. Europe and the United States were often at the centre of international collaboration. The predominant study design was cross‐sectional and online with quantitative analyses. We also summarised author reported critical challenges and enablers for international psychological research during the COVID pandemic, and conclude with implications for the field of psychology.

“…A study by Dao and Lim (2022) Oceania countries account for 7% of the studies, with Australia having the maximum number of studies compared to New Zealand. However, India features in just seven studies, of which one study is from 2014 (Kapadia-Kundu et al, 2014), and the remaining six have been published only in the last 2 years (Ghosal et al, 2022;Kapoor & Singhal, 2021;Kapoor & Tagat, 2022;Raman & Aashish, 2023;Shahnawaz et al, 2023;Wang et al, 2021). Since 1998, only a few cross-country studies have been performed.…”

Preventive healthcare behavior (PHB) refers to actions taken by consumers to avert possible incidences of lifestyle diseases. Over the years, diverse approaches have been used to comprehend the complex nature of PHB. This paper follows a three‐step process to examine work done in the PHB domain. At the outset, past literature was examined. This review included PHB models and frameworks, followed by a root‐cause analysis to identify factors that impacted PHB adoption. A systematic literature review (SLR) using a domain‐based hybrid review approach was the study's third and most crucial part. The SPAR‐4‐SLR (scientific procedures and rationales for systematic literature reviews) protocol was used to conduct the hybrid review, involving two separate review studies. In the first study, a bibliometric analysis was carried out, wherein a trend analysis was conducted on an initial pool of 1011 primary peer‐reviewed publications (1998–2023). The trend analysis was followed by a co‐citation network analysis of 39,608 secondary articles, which validated the importance of primary articles as indicated by the co‐citations in these secondary articles. Further, a purification process based on reliability, validity, and replicability criteria resulted in a final pool of 190 relevant articles. These articles were subjected to a thematic analysis. Next, a framework‐based review based on the theories, contexts, characteristics, and methods (TCCM) framework was conducted on the 190 articles. This step validated the primary study findings. Additionally, it examined and reported the underlying theories, context (country level), characteristics, and methods adopted by previous PHB studies. This analysis helps in indicating the future research agenda regarding PHB. Furthermore, the inferences drawn from the two studies were used to propose a conceptual framework for understanding consumers' PHB decisions based on the antecedents, decisions, and outcomes (ADO) framework. The framework posits that specific personal, demographic, cultural, social and socioeconomic factors are precursors to PHB adoption. This PHB adoption, in turn, has positive outcomes such as enhanced quality of life, consumer wellbeing, health promotion, health behavior change, and planning. The comprehensive review and proposed framework will significantly help advance knowledge about PHB. Apart from contributing to the academic literature, learnings from this study hold value for practitioners at the global level for designing actionable strategies for preventive healthcare products and services.
