Summary: This study investigated the association between social media use and loneliness two years after the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The results showed that participants who worried more about their health, were younger, unemployed, and without a spouse or partner reported higher levels of loneliness. Spending more time on social media was associated with increased loneliness. People who primarily used social media to maintain relationships felt lonelier compared to those who used it for other reasons.

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between baseline cognitive function, intervention dropout, adherence, and 3-month weight loss while controlling for confounding demographic variables. The results indicate that stronger baseline attention is associated with completion of a 3-month weight loss intervention, and executive control and working memory are associated with the amount of weight loss achieved.

Summary: Psychology applied to health and illness has rapidly developed over the past 60 years, with core theoretical models evolving from psychosomatic views to neuropsychology, quality of life, patient education, and illness perceptions. Recent models, such as shared decision-making and health humanities, emphasize the importance of behavior as the central outcome in healthcare and focus on optimal psychosocial adjustment.

Summary: This study aimed to assess anxiety, depression, and uncertainty appraisal among HCWs at the forefront of COVID-19 treatment and determine the factors affecting uncertainty risk and opportunity appraisal. A self-reported structured questionnaire was used to gather data from HCWs at a tertiary medical center in Seoul. The results showed higher rates of depression and anxiety among medical HCWs, with uncertainty risk score being higher than uncertainty opportunity score. It is recommended to develop strategies to reduce uncertainty among HCWs and create intervention plans based on the characteristics and distribution of risks and opportunities for different occupations.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize stress status during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in China and explore the underlying mechanism between uncertainty stress and self-rated health. The findings showed that age, place of residence, marital status, occupation, household annual income, infection, and quarantine status were significantly correlated with uncertainty stress. Higher uncertainty stress was associated with poorer self-rated health and higher negative emotions. The sequential mediation model revealed that negative affect and subjective sleep quality mediated the relationship between uncertainty stress and self-rated health.
