As result, mental health professionals (MHPs) experienced negative consequences, including an increased level of fear related to COVID-19. This study aimed explore the prevalence and correlates among MHPs following end Policy, association with quality life (QoL) from network analysis perspective.

Central symptoms identified through “Expected Influence” model while specific directly correlated QoL “flow function.” Results total 10,647 Chinese included. overall (FCV-19S score ≥ 16) 60.8% (95% CI = 59.9–61.8%). binary logistic regression found that more likely be married (OR 1.198; p < 0.001) having infection 1.235; 0.005) quarantine experience 1.189; 0.001).

In contrast, there few examining benefits using a qualitative methodology. Hence, we focus group interviews understand meaning-focused coping in 56 university students from late December 2022 mid-January 2023 when Hong Kong was approaching end pandemic. Thematic analysis deductive analytical approach based Revised Stress Coping Model applied data analysis. The results showed that able generate positive experiences emotions them reported improved mental well-being by infusing ordinary events with meaning.

Abstract Background A major shift in the “dynamic zero-COVID” policy was announced by China’s National Health Commission on December 7, 2022, and subsequent immediate large-scale outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 infections entire country has caused worldwide concern. This observational cross-sectional study aimed to describe epidemiological characteristics this Sichuan, China. Methods All data were self-reported online volunteers. We described epidemic characterizing infection, symptoms, clinical duration, severity, spatiotemporal clustering, dynamic features disease. Prevalence ratio (PR), Odds ratios (ORs) adjusted ORs calculated analyze associations between risk factors infection with severity using log-binomial multivariable logistic regression models; 95% confidence intervals (CIs) Wald test results reported. The prevalence rates among different subgroups compared Chi-square trend tests. Results Between January 6 12, 2023, 138,073 volunteers enrolled survey, 102,645 infected COVID-19, holding a rate 74.34%; proportion asymptomatic 1.58%. Log-binomial revealed that increased those living urban areas. Multivariable analysis showed female sex, chronic diseases, older age fewer doses vaccine received associated an severe outcomes after infection. estimated mean reproduction number during pandemic 1.83. highest time-dependent 4.15; decreased below 1 11 days from 2022. Temporal trends single peak curve plateau pattern incidence outbreak, whereas clustering onset 21 cities Sichuan province had four-wave peaks.
