We examined which types of green spaces elicited positive (eudemonic) or negative (apprehensive) affective responses. A total of 288 adult residents of Singapore completed a survey that asked them to report their affective states in response to images of 10 locally different environment types and to complete measures of childhood location, frequency of visiting natural/built environments, nature connectedness, and dispositional anxiety, as well as demographic items on age and gender. The 10 green space environment types were mapped onto an experiential state space representing feelings of apprehension and eudemonia in response to specific types of urban green spaces. In terms of a biophilic response, feelings of eudemonia were no different in natural green spaces compared to built green spaces. A higher frequency of experience in specific environments is associated with enhanced feelings of eudemonia in these environments. The findings indicate that people in Singapore can be apprehensive as much in natural green spaces as in built green spaces, and they can also find eudemonic experiences in built green spaces such as roof-top gardens or town parks.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1660-4601}, pages = {347}, orcid-numbers = {Dillon, Denise/0000-0003-0191-7841; Lee, Sean T.

Long COVID is characterized by recurring symptoms and inflammation across multiple organ systems. Diagnosis can be challenging, influenced by factors like demographics, comorbidities, and immune responses. Long COVID impacts various organ systems and can have neuropsychological effects. Health disparities, particularly related to race, contribute to a higher burden of infection and ongoing symptoms in minority populations. Managing Long COVID entails addressing a spectrum of symptoms that encompass physical, cognitive, and psychological aspects. The recovery period for patients with Long COVID can vary significantly, influenced by factors like the severity of the disease, hospitalization, comorbidities, and age. Currently, there are no universally effective treatments, although certain interventions show promise, necessitating further research. Self-management and rehabilitation programs can provide relief, but more research is needed to establish their effectiveness. Preventive measures such as vaccination and the use of antiviral medications and metformin. It is imperative to conduct further research to develop evidence-based guidelines and gain a better understanding of the long-term implications of COVID-19. Long COVID could have substantial economic impact on the labor market, productivity, healthcare expenditures, and overall economic growth. To address the challenges patients with long-term complications face, there is a focus on strategies like promoting telework and flexible work arrangements to accommodate diverse symptoms, particularly chronic fatigue and other Long COVID effects. In conclusion, this review emphasizes the multifaceted complexity of Long COVID and the ongoing need to address its potential long-term health and economic impacts.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1660-4601}, pages = {325}, orcid-numbers = {Alnaimat, Fatima/0000-0002-5574-2939; Sweis, Nadia J./0000-0002-1122-3264; Rubinstein, Israel/0000-0002-3628-0601} } @article{MTMT:34790179, title = {Burden of Disease Due to Air Pollution in Afghanistan—Results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34790179}, author = {Hahad, O.}, doi = {10.3390/ijerph21020197}, journal-iso = {INT J ENV RES PUB HE}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH}, volume = {21}, unique-id = {34790179}, issn = {1661-7827}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1660-4601} } @article{MTMT:34720156, title = {Impaired Well-Being and Insomnia as Residuals of Resolved Medical Conditions: Survey in the Italian Population}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34720156}, author = {Menicucci, D. and Bastiani, L. and Malloggi, E. and Denoth, F. and Gemignani, A. and Molinaro, S.}, doi = {10.3390/ijerph21020129}, journal-iso = {INT J ENV RES PUB HE}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH}, volume = {21}, unique-id = {34720156}, issn = {1661-7827}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1660-4601} } @article{MTMT:34597755, title = {Fear of COVID-19 and PTSD: The Protective Function of Problem-Solving Appraisals in Mental Health}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34597755}, author = {Padmanabhanunni, Anita and Pretorius, Tyrone Brian}, doi = {10.3390/ijerph21020220}, journal-iso = {INT J ENV RES PUB HE}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH}, volume = {21}, unique-id = {34597755}, issn = {1661-7827}, abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic was experienced by many people as a major traumatic event, and it contributed to high levels of fear, anxiety, and PTSD. Negative cognitive appraisals have been consistently implicated in the onset and maintenance of psychological distress, but there is far less research on the protective role of adaptive appraisals in mental health outcomes. The current study aimed to address this gap by investigating the role of problem-solving appraisals in the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and PTSD. Participants were students (n = 322) who completed the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, the Problem-Solving Inventory, the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, and the five-item short version of the trait scale of the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory. Participants had a mean age of 26 years (±10.2; range 17–63). The results revealed that problem-solving appraisal mediated the effects of fear of COVID-19 on all the dimensions of PTSD. However, moderated mediation analysis demonstrated that the mediation effect was moderated by anxiety. In this regard, the indirect effects of fear of COVID-19 on PTSD were only significant for respondents with low anxiety levels. Our findings suggest that intervention efforts need to focus on identifying and actively targeting maladaptive appraisals of the problem-solving ability as well as addressing anxiety-related symptoms that may impede coping.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1660-4601}, pages = {220}, orcid-numbers = {Padmanabhanunni, Anita/0000-0001-7733-7486; Pretorius, Tyrone Brian/0000-0002-6325-6623} }
