Despite the importance of social justice and community attachment for subjective well-being (SWB), existing research fails to adequately examine these factors in urban emergencies. This study develops a theoretical framework elucidate roles environment perception, justice, SWB during emergencies, with focus on vulnerable populations. Drawing context COVID-19 lockdown Shanghai, expands definition groups, considering including gender, income, immigrant, housing ownership, infection/exposure history. We proposed structural equation modelling compare groups multiple-group analysis. The analysis evidences direct contribution SWB, intermediates environmental perception SWB. These present heterogeneity among groups: identity only affects perceived health residents infection history, ownership high income. revisits interaction between emergencies from vulnerability perspective. discussions provide novel insights devising strategies service infrastructure development aimed at enhancing resilience. Also, findings can benefit emergency planning both city scale.

The impact of health risk communication on self-perceived health and worry of targeted groups: Lessons from the Swedish COVID-19 response

PLoS ONE, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 20(1), С. e0311596 - e0311596

Опубликована: Янв. 17, 2025

Background The Swedish COVID-19 strategy aimed to protect vulnerable groups through targeted measures, categorizing individuals aged 70 and above as high-risk. This study examines the impact of such group-based risk assessments on subjective health virus-related concerns among older adults. Methods We analyzed survey data from SOM Institute for 68- 71-year-olds in 2019 (N = 684) 2020 726). Using ordered logit regression, we compared perceived between just below (68–69 years) (70–71 high-risk age threshold, controlling demographic factors. Results In 2020, 70-year-olds reported significantly lower their 69-year-old peers, a difference not observed 2019. Furthermore, exhibited higher than slightly younger counterparts. These patterns persisted when expanding analysis include 68 71. Conclusion Our findings suggest that strategy, while at protecting over, may have inadvertently increased vulnerability within this group. Conversely, those threshold better concerns, highlighting potential unintended psychological consequences age-based communication.

This paper aims describe sociodemographic clinical profile reporting prevalence of cognitive, emotional motor symptoms patients seen at 2 Brazilian-Rehabilitation hospitals. Methods: Multicentric, descriptive observational, cross-sectional study, carried out by reviewing electronic medical records patients, from March September 2021.

Prevalence of Long-term Symptoms Varies When Using Different Post-COVID-19 Definitions in Positively and Negatively Tested Adults: The PRIME Post-COVID Study

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 10(10)

Опубликована: Сен. 18, 2023

Abstract Background Long-term symptoms after a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (ie, post–coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19] condition or long COVID) constitute substantial public health problem. Yet, the prevalence remains currently unclear as different case definitions are used, and negatively tested controls lacking. We aimed to estimate post-COVID-19 using 6 definitions. Methods The Prevalence, Risk factors, Impact Evaluation (PRIME) study is population-based sample of COVID-19-tested adults. In 2021, 61 655 adults were invited complete an online questionnaire, including 44 plus severity score (0–10) per symptom. Prevalence was calculated in both positively adults, stratified by time since their COVID-19 test (3–5, 6–11, ≥12 months ago). Results positive individuals (n = 7405, 75.6%), long-term between 26.9% 64.1% definitions, while negative 2392, 24.4%), varied 11.4% 32.5%. potentially attributable ranged from 17.9% 26.3%. Conclusions There (substantial) variation estimates when current practice; there limited overlap indicating that essential criteria still unclear. Including negatives important determine COVID-19. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05128695.
