Objectives: The main purpose of this research was to compare the level ofpsychological distress between HBV and HCV patients and to determine the effect of genderand age on psychological distress. Determine the relationship between coping strategies andpsychological distress. Method: For the present study 100 HBV patients (50 male and 50 female)and 100 HCV patients (50 male and 50 female) were selected. The sample was selected fromLiver Centre, district headquarter hospital Faisalabad. This was a cross sectional study. MHI-38was used to measure the psychological distress and CRI was used to measure the copyingstyles among HBV and HCV patients. Result: HCV patients have higher levels of psychologicaldistress t (198) = 6.54, p< .05 compared to HBV patients. Female hepatitis patients weresuffering from high levels of psychological distress t (198) = 3.90, p < .05 as compared to malehepatitis patients, with male, age is positively correlated with psychological distress, r = .32,p < .01 but with female age is negatively correlated with psychological distress r = -.49, p <.01. Approach coping is negatively correlated with psychological distress in male and femalehepatitis patients, respectively, r = -.45, p < .01 and, r = -.29, p <.01. Conclusion: HCV andfemale patients have higher levels of psychological distress comparatively of HBV and malepatients. Age is correlated with psychological distress. The approach coping styles play animportant role in controlling the psychiatric comorbidity in HBV and HCV patients.

Prevalence Of Depression

BACKGROUND Due to the strict nationwide COVID-19 comprehensive protective measures, which included home quarantine, all Chinese medical students began taking online classes beginning in the spring semester of 2020. Home quarantine, online classes, and the stress surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic may have triggered increased mental health problems of medical students. Although there has been an increasing literature on depression among medical students, studies focusing on positive psychological resources such as resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic still need to be expanded. OBJECTIVE The present study aims at assessing depression of medical students taking online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigating the role of coping styles as a mediator between resilience and depression. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 666 medical students with stratified sampling in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in China was completed between March 20th, 2020 and April 10th, 2020. The participants responded to a self-administered smartphone-based questionnaire which included Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and Ego-Resilience scale (ER-89). Hierarchical linear regression and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used in this study. RESULTS The prevalence of depression in the participants was 9.6% in this study. Regression analysis revealed that grade (the year in which the medical student was in their training), how well they adapted to online classes, their levels of resilience, and their coping styles were independent predictors for depression. Resilience and positive coping style were negatively related to depression and negative coping style was positively related to depression. SEM showed that the effect of resilience on depression was partially mediated by coping styles. CONCLUSIONS It was found in the present study the prevalence of depression was slightly low and coping styles mediated the association between resilience and depression among medical students during COVID-19, which was of significant implications for further study. Future studies and interventions are supposed to be aimed at improving resilience and promoting positive coping style.

Convenience Sampling

This study aims to examine the associations among social support, coping styles, and resilience in parents of children with orofacial clefts (OFCs). We conducted a cross-sectional study. Through convenience sampling, 306 parents of children with OFCs completed questionnaires on social support, coping styles, and resilience. Pearson’s correlations and hierarchical regression analyses were used to examine the relationships among the selected variables. The results showed that age, gender, educational level, diagnosis of children, severity of OFCs, social support, and positive coping style had significant associations with resilience, which jointly explained 69.1% of the total variance in resilience. The findings suggested that social support and a positive coping style may be instrumental in improving resilience. Further research is required to explore interventions to improve the resilience of parents of children with OFCs.

BACKGROUND Information technologies have become an integral part of the modern society; however, it is speculated that their overuse would result in addiction. Nomophobia refers to the irrational fear of being out of contact with virtual communication platforms. Generally, upon exposure to stress, humans adjust by employing cognitive mechanisms and behavioral efforts known as coping strategies. OBJECTIVE The goal of the research was to explore coping styles implemented in subjects with nomophobia. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study involving young adult participants (undergraduate students and younger subjects) who were recruited via an online survey using a snowball approach. The Italian version of the Nomophobia Questionnaire was administered to subjects. The measurement of coping styles was done using the 28-item Brief COPE questionnaire. Continuous data were computed as means and standard deviations, whereas categorical data were expressed as percentages, where appropriate. Correlation analysis was performed between the Nomophobia Questionnaire and Brief COPE scores. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted in order to shed light on the determinants of each coping style and its association with nomophobia. RESULTS A total of 403 subjects took part in the study. Subjects with higher nomophobia scores responded when confronted with stress with behavioral disengagement (r=.16, P<.001), denial (r=.19, P<.001), self-blame (r=.12, P=.02), self-distraction (r=.22, P<.001), venting (r=.28, P<.001), use of emotional (r=.25, P<.001), and instrumental support (r=.16, P=.001). CONCLUSION Nomophobia subjects adopt maladaptive coping strategies when confronted with stress. The acknowledgment of how nomophobia subjects react provides insight and introduces a focus for preventative and interventional measures in this population.
