Abstract The prevalence of mental health problems in both Malaysian and global workplaces has significantly increased
due to the presence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, globalization, technology advancement
in Industry 4.0, and other contributing factors. The pervasiveness of the issue poses a huge challenge to improving
the occupational safety and health (OSH) of workers in various industries, especially in the digital industry. The
emergence of the innovative industry is evident mainly due to the rapid development of Industry 4.0 and the relevant demands of multiple businesses in the digital transformation. Nonetheless, limited studies and academic discussions were conducted on the… More >

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has struck nations worldwide, pushing worldwide health and socioeconomic systems to
extreme limits. Various factors, such as drastic alterations in public environments, prolonged quarantine, revenue
loss, and anxiety of disease contraction, have caused mental turmoil. Although there was a need to cope with an
excess of psychological strain among the public, post-COVID patients, and those with a previously diagnosed
psychiatric condition, mental health programs faced a substantial decline in services, mirroring the dramatic rise
in psychological issues. Interestingly, certain coping strategies play protective or deleterious effects on mental
health outcomes. Moreover, social media exposure has played a… More >

Abstract Individuals’ perceptions, attitudes, and patterns of getting along with family members are important factors influencing Chinese people’s self-evaluation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of family cohesion on
depression and the role of perceived social support and intentional self-regulation in this association. A hypothesized model of the association of family cohesion, perceived social support, intentional self-regulation, and
depression was examined. A convenience sampling method was used to survey 1,180 college students in Yunnan

Abstract Digestive system cancers are important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cancer patients are more
likely to commit suicide. The objective of this scoping review is to provide a comprehensive and updated summary of the existing literature on suicide among patients with digestive system cancers to identify the incidence
and risk factors relevant to suicide in these populations. The PRISMA-Scr (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension protocol for scoping reviews) protocol was used. The review was
based on relevant articles published prior to January 2022 in databases of Web of Science and PubMed. The
authors identified 21… More >

Abstract The rising prevalence of physical inactivity is in all age groups (e.g., in college students) a major public health issue as not
meeting the recommended minimum amount of regular physical activity is linked to adverse health events. Vice versa,
there is mounting evidence that achieving the recommended amount of regular physical activity is a vital element to
prevent chronic diseases, but there is often an insufficient adherence to planned and structured forms of physical activity
(i.e., physical exercises). In this context, there is a large body of evidence indicating that exercise adherence is, among
other factors, influenced by exercise-related affective… More >

Abstract Background: Adolescents are highly vulnerable to depressive symptoms worldwide partially because of limited
social supports. However, it still remains largely unknown regarding the associations between social support(s)
and depressive symptoms among adolescents living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim
of this study aimed to explore the associations between different types of social support and depressive symptoms
in adolescents from LMICs. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Global School-based Health Survey (GSHS)
in which 92,551 adolescents (50.6% females) were included with mean of 15.6 years. Depressive symptoms in the
past one month as the dependent variable were measured in… More >
