The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of dental appearance satisfaction on the psychosocial impact of dental esthetics among Saudi adolescents.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia among students attending intermediate and high schools. Data was collected using the translated Arabic version of psychosocial impact of dental esthetics questionnaire (PIDAQ) and demographic variables including; gender, age, school grade, and parental level of education. Statistical analysis was performed by using logistic regression to assess the effect of demographical variables on PIDAQ and its domains at 5% significance level. Results: Females and participants’ fathers’ university education were statistically significantly having higher PIDAQ and aesthetic concern. Females were 70%, and those with fathers’ university education were 22% more likely to have a negative psychological impact. Females and those with mothers’ university education were less likely to have positive dental self-confidence. Conclusions: Most of adolescents exhibited satisfaction with their own smiles. Smile dissatisfaction in the remaining participants was related to teeth alignment, color and shape. Females and participants with fathers’ university education exhibited higher psychosocial impact than males and those with or without school education.

Female gender, university education, fear of COVID-19, fear of poverty, verbal violence at home, and chronic disease were associated with lower MWB. Better family satisfaction and financial situation were correlated with better MWB. Among workers/looking for a job: physical exercise was associated with better MWB, while previous waterpipe smoking, being self-employed before the crisis, working from home, closure of the institution, and worrying about long-term effects of the crisis on employment status were associated lower MWB. The fear of COVID-19 was not associated with MWB.Practical Implications: The Lebanese government should implement a reliable crisis management strategy that outlines stabilization and recovery measures to help people navigate through this period with minimal impact on mental, physical, and overall quality of life.

Background: Being quarantined is an unpleasant experience for the persons who undergo it. Several studies showed there is a high prevalence of mental illnesses during quarantine which range from stress, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms, irritability, low mood, and insomnia.Objectives: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress due being quarantined for 14 days in individuals who returned to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from outside the country during COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 at one of the Ministry of Health designated quarantine centers and reassess participants a year after being released from the quarantine center to compare the outcomes. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study that employed 138 participants. Result: In terms of depression, 91 of the 138 individuals were categorized as normal, with 24 and 13 cases scoring mild and severe, respectively. Nine people, on the other hand, received extreme depression ratings based on their responses, with only one case being categorized as really severe depression. Anxiety levels were measured in this study's subjects. Six patients reported severe anxiety throughout the quarantine period, while 15 others had mild anxiety. Fortunately, the number of persons suffering from severe and moderate anxiety decreased after a year, with only one severe case and three reasonable examples left. At the time of quarantine, all 138 people were classified as normal (n=108), mild stress (n=19), or moderate stress (n=11). A year later, 126 people scored normal, ten people scored mild, and just two people rated significantly when their stress levels were assessed. Conclusion: The findings suggest that persons who are not in quarantine, and especially those who are in quarantine, require psychological assistance. People's health is more important than ever before, because a country's development is defined by the well-being of its citizens and investors.

Abstract. Conflict avoidance increases across the adult lifespan. This cross-sectional study looks at conflict avoidance as part of a mechanism to regulate belongingness needs ( Sheldon, 2011 ). We assumed that older adults perceive more threats to their belongingness when they contemplate their future, and that they preventively react with avoidance coping. We set up a model predicting conflict avoidance that included perceptions of future nonbelonging, termed anticipated loneliness, and other predictors including sociodemographics, indicators of subjective well-being and perceived social support (N = 331, aged 40–87). Anticipated loneliness predicted conflict avoidance above all other predictors and partially mediated the age-association of conflict avoidance. Results suggest that belongingness regulation accounts may deepen our understanding of conflict avoidance in the second half of life.
