Mohamed Abdelrahman

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic in Qatar, individual differences in personality, risk perception, and personal hygiene practices were found to have significant effects on social distancing behaviors. The majority of participants preferred staying at home, maintaining an adequate distance when communicating with others, not allowing visitors, and practicing personal hygiene. Multiple regression analysis revealed that conscientiousness, neuroticism, risk perception, and personal hygiene practices were important predictors of social distancing. Gender differences were also observed, with women showing higher engagement in social distancing practices.

Maria Pico-Perez et al.

Summary: The study found that during the state of emergency in Portugal, depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms appeared to improve gradually, while the perception of quality of life and sleep worsened.

Protective Elements of Mental Health Status during the COVID-19 Outbreak in the Portuguese Population

Pedro Silva Moreira et al.

Summary: The study conducted on Portuguese individuals found that factors related to living conditions, work status, exercise frequency, and history of psychological disorders were associated with better psychological well-being during the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, maintaining psychotherapeutic support without interruption was also found to be beneficial for psychological indicators.
