Summary: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of an e-mental health intervention in reducing absenteeism and presenteeism among employees, and to investigate the mediating role of stress in this effect. The results showed that while the intervention did not have a direct effect on productivity, stress reduction could mediate the effect on presenteeism and absenteeism.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between overexposure to COVID-19-related information and emotional distress. The findings show a positive correlation between COVID-19 information exposure and emotional distress, with risk perception mediating this association. Additionally, psychological resilience moderates the mediating effects of risk perception, but different resilience factors have varying effects. This study has theoretical and practical implications for clinical intervention and public health management.

Summary: This study examined the pathways from pre-existing psychosocial and economic vulnerability to mental health difficulties and stress in families during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that psychosocial and economic vulnerability increased the risk of material deprivation, leading to parent and child stress and mental health difficulties due to COVID-19 restrictions. There were reciprocal effects between increased child and parent stress and greater mental health difficulties over time within families. The study highlights the importance of addressing psychosocial and economic vulnerability in prevention policies and parent and child mental health services during the pandemic.

Summary: This study examines the psychological effects of COVID-19 on older adults, focusing on the interplay between perceptions of the outbreak, race, and psychological distress. The findings suggest that greater perceptions of COVID-19 as a threat to daily life are associated with higher levels of distress, although Black individuals reported lower distress compared to White individuals. The study also identifies race differences in the association between COVID-19 threat and distress among men. This research contributes to understanding the impact of COVID-19-related stressors on older adults and highlights the importance of considering intersecting identities in mental health during the pandemic.

Summary: Major depressive disorder (MDD) and other mental health issues have a significant impact on the workforce, resulting in a high number of absences and reduced productivity. It is important to diagnose and treat patients according to clinical guidelines, but understanding work-related factors and stressors is also crucial for effective patient care.

Summary: The study found that the majority of the Iranian population experienced moderate to severe anxiety and high levels of resilience during the COVID-19 epidemic. Men and unmarried individuals were significantly associated with anxiety and resilience, while age, gender, and education were significantly associated with hyperarousal stress. The results suggest that interventions focusing on building resilience could help improve well-being during negative life events like the pandemic.

Summary: This study investigated the evolution of mental vulnerability and resilience during the different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany from 2020 to 2021. The findings suggest an immediate increase in vulnerability during the first lockdown, a trend towards recovery during the easing of lockdown measures, and an increase in vulnerability with each month of the second lockdown. Four latent trajectories of resilience-vulnerability were identified, with the majority exhibiting a resilient trajectory but nearly 30% belonging to more vulnerable groups. Risk factors for poorer mental well-being included being female, younger, having a history of psychiatric disorders, belonging to lower income groups, and having high trait vulnerability and low trait social belonging.

Summary: This study examined the association between resilience and trajectories of mental distress during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings indicated that individuals with low and normal resilience experienced increases in mental distress, while those with high resilience demonstrated better psychological adaptability. Additionally, men, middle-aged and older adults, Black adults, and adults with a graduate degree were more likely to exhibit high resilience.

Summary: This study examined how individual resilience and family resilience moderate the associations between pandemic-related stressors and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in two culturally distinct regions. The results showed that pandemic-related stressors predicted higher symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in both regions, but individual and family resilience played a protective role. Differences were also observed in how resilience factors influenced mental health outcomes in Minnesota and Hong Kong.

Summary: A significant minority of patients with hypothyroidism continue to experience symptoms despite normal thyroid biochemistry, and this can be attributed to imperfections in treatment methods, coexistence with somatic symptom and related disorders, autoimmune neuroinflammation, and comorbidities and psychosocial factors. Currently, there is a bias towards pursuing answers related to combination treatment of levothyroxine and liothyronine, while other explanations have been neglected.

Summary: Dislocation is a common and serious complication following hip hemiarthroplasty, and there is a lack of data on dislocation rates with contemporary bipolar stems. A retrospective review of a national hip fracture database found a significant difference in dislocation rates with cemented Furlong prostheses compared to uncemented prostheses. However, there was no difference in dislocation rates compared to traditional uncemented prostheses.
