The impact of vision impairment on depressive symptoms among older adults: The mediating role of dispositional optimism. by Xi Ji, Yujie Zhang

“…While the adverse mental health consequences of sensory decline are well-documented, the psychological mechanisms underlying this association remain insufficiently examined. Dispositional optimism-a stable cognitive-affective trait characterized by generalized positive future expectations-may serve as a key mediator, promoting resilience through adaptive appraisal and emotional regulation processes.…”

Predictors of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) among health care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic at a regional teaching and referral hospital in Western Kenya. by Jared Makori Bundi, Everlyne Nyanchera Morema, Morris Senghor Shisanya

“…On the other hand, insufficient state of personal protective equipment (PPEs) (OR = 10.64, P = 0.033), having a family member as a COVID-19 contact (OR = 11.24, P = 0.023) and facing COVID-19 related stigma (OR = 8.06, P = 0.001) significantly increased the odds of GAD. The study result is a call to prioritize the health care providers' psychological well-being by putting in place measures to preserve and enhance their resilience in order to ensure they work optimally and sustain service delivery during a pandemic.…”
