This paper reports data collected on non-specific psychological distress; however the full study covered many other aspects, such as adherence to biosecurity requirements, effects of social isolation due to quarantine and the consequences of restricted horse movement and related activities, and sources of support and coping during the EI outbreak. The prevalence of ''very high'' psychological distress in this sample was approaching five times the level reported in recent population health data for NSW [24] . Study findings indicated that this affected population had highly elevated levels of psychological distress and that, although prevalence of high psychological distress was greater in infected EI control zones and States, elevated levels of psychological distress were experienced in horse-owners nationally, and not just in areas where equine influenza was present.

At the same time, the psychological stress responses of medical staff were significantly different according to the levels of exposure in their environments, duration and personal experience. Inspired by this theory, this study attempted to investigate whether differences in the exposure environment, personal experience, and exposure duration of medical care personnel would lead to differences in their psychological responses, and advice and assistance were provided to personnel to prevent the development of mental health issues. We used a selfdesigned questionnaire to collect demographics and mental state data including factors such as gender, age (years), educational level, job rank, body and mind reaction, cognition of risk, and the judgment of the epidemic situation, which was started in the third week after the outbreak, and the specific time is from February 12 to February 21, 2020.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates a significant association between the prevalence of physical symptoms and psychological outcomes among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 outbreak. We investigate the association between various physical symptoms and psychological distress amongst healthcare workers in Singapore and India during the current COVID-19 outbreak. The study questionnaire, written in English, comprised five main components-demographic characteristics, medical history, symptom prevalence in the previous month, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) and the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R) instruments. This multinational, multicenter study found significant association between adverse psychological outcomes and physical symptoms displayed by healthcare workers during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Our results are in line with those found in most studies, showing that women present significantly higher levels of distress (with low size effect), and this can therefore be understood as an individual risk factor in the face of the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic. However, a study similar to the present one conducted at the beginning of the COVID-19 quarantine identified an increased risk of psychological distress among people over 60 years of age [33] . Among the variables that predict psychological distress are, therefore: being female, age, employment situation, number of symptoms, perception of poor health, having been in close contact with an infected person, as well as having been in contact with people or material suspected of being infected.

METHODS: Following Institutional Review Board approval, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 10,178 postgraduate trainees following COVID-19 outbreak through e-log system of College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan. To address this gap, the present study aimed to evaluate psychological impact of COVID-19 outbreak on postgraduate trainees in Pakistan by quantifying the symptoms of depression, anxiety and acute stress, and by analysing potential risk factors associated with these symptoms. Previous small-scale studies done to assess psychological morbidity among postgraduate trainees in Pakistan found that 14% had depression symptoms and 8% had moderate anxiety. ► Female postgraduate trainees and those working as front-line healthcare workers reported experiencing more anxiety, depression and acute stress symptoms.

cord-271362-qn5i6cdj	2020	According to the literature, high perceived control increases the psychological distance from a negative target (Han et al., 2018) , which may in turn help individuals in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic and further lead to high levels of perceived general health and life satisfaction. Next, the results of the mediation model showed that regional pandemic severity had a negative effect on the psychological distance from COVID-19 (B = À0.54, SE = 0.12, p < .001), which subsequently led to low levels of perceived general health (B = 0.06, SE = 0.01, p < .001) and life satisfaction (B = 0.15, SE = 0.02, p < .001). In particular, the regional pandemic severity adversely affects psychological distance when people have low perceived control, which in turn can lead to low levels of both life satisfaction and perceived general health.

Recent studies on the psychological impact and trauma-related responses of COVID-19 among healthcare workers are scarce and focused on symptoms of PTSD rather than ASD. In another study investigating mental health status among medical staff of which 69.9% were nurses, 27.39% of the study sample reported COVID-19 related symptoms of PTSD (Xing, Sun, Xu, Geng, & Li, 2020) .The importance of ASD diagnosis is based on its capacity to predict individuals who will develop PTSD. A quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and comparative design was used in this study to (a) explore the prevalence of ASD and (b) investigate the predictors of psychological distress among Jordanian nurses amid COVID-19. Almost 65% of the variability in nurses'' psychological distress was accounted for by their gender, age, income, history of mental disorders, acute stress, and coping self-efficacy.

Cyclothymic (OR: 1.17; p=0.008) and depressive (OR: 1.32; p=0.003) temperaments resulted as risk factors in subjects with moderate-to-severe psychological distress compared to mild distress, while the ASQ "Confidence" (OR: 0.92; p=0.039) and "Discomfort with closeness" (OR: 0.94; p=0.023) were protective. To the best of our knowledge, our survey results are the first showing that a relevant percentage of the Italian population might have experienced from mild to moderate-to-severe psychological distress symptoms during the early phase of the COVID-19 outbreak, and that both temperament and AAS features may predict the extent of mental health burden.
cord-314719-qi8gilkr	2020	In planned regression models, psychological flexibility demonstrated incremental predictive validity for all distress and wellbeing outcomes (over and above both demographic characteristics and COVID-19-specific coping responses). Studies that have tracked the long-term sequelae of previous coronavirus pandemics (such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome [SARS] in 2002) suggest that psychological difficulties -including PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress, and impaired quality of life -can sustain for months and even years post-outbreak, particularly for those who contract the virus or who are directly exposed to it through their occupational roles (e.g., Bonanno et al., 2008; Chan & Huak, 2004; Hui et al., 2005; Kwek et al., 2006; A. In these five models, psychological flexibility explained an additional 5-18% of outcome variance -over and above demographic characteristics and COVID-19-specific coping responses (as measured by the Brief COPE). Whilst associations generally (inversely) paralleled those observed for avoidant coping, psychological flexibility accounted for unique variance in both distress and wellbeing -including COVID-19-specific distress (IES-6) and worry.

Whereas, individuals with low capacity to be alone may be trapped in the adverse consequences of mobile phone addiction and experience more depression, anxiety, and stress since they could not use the time being alone to adjust their negative emotional state. Given that rumination plays a bridge role in the relation between problematic mobile devices use and individuals'' psychological adaptation (Feinstein et al., 2013; Liu et al., 2017) , the current study would attempt to examine the mediating effect of rumination on the association between mobile phone addiction and adolescents'' psychological distress.

Third, psychological penalty cost perceived by victims due to wait for evacuation, psychological intervention cost, cost of transporting victims from disaster sites to resettlement sites, and cost of building resettlement shelters are minimized in this formulation. Next, the time-varying strength of panic, and the time-varying costs and limits of shelters and mental health workers are modeled to study the effects of wait times on evacuation and resettlement solutions. Due to urgent demands for mental health workers and temporary shelters, and the marginally increasing degree of panic perceived by victims while waiting for evacuation and resettlement, three parameters (C P t ; C INC t and a t ) are defined as functions of wait times. This study addressed the post-disaster evacuation and temporary resettlement problem for victims affected by psychological penalty induced by panic and panic spread.

The present study aims to add to the existing body of literature by adapting current observational and survey measures, in collaboration with healthcare professionals, to provide a triangulated approach to measuring psychological safety at the team and individual level. In order to gain a more in-depth understanding of psychological safety within the case study hospital, the current study adapted the original survey items and developed a corresponding observation measure. Building on previous research and feedback from healthcare professionals, this study describes the methodology used to adapt observational and survey measures of psychological safety, specifically for use within healthcare teams.
