The Impact of Prolonged Stress of Covid-19 Pandemic and Earthquakes on Internet-Based Addictive Behaviour and Quality of Life in Croatia
Prolonged stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and two concurrent earthquakes in 2020 increased Internet-based addictive behaviour, leading to decrease in mental health and quality of life (QoL) in the adult Croatian population. This study examined the association between Internet-based addictive behaviour and QoL during prolonged stress (pandemic and earthquakes). Specifically, it explored direct associations between QoL domains and overall/sp…
Association between prolonged stress caused by Covid-19 pandemic and earthquakes and quality of life, anxiety, depression, psychoactive substances, and problematic alcohol use in adult Croatian popula…
These results showed the need to direct public health interventions and treatment interventions during and after long-term stress (pandemics and earthquakes) to reduce the negative impact on substance use and QoL by reducing depression and anxiety, which ultimately may contribute to better wellbeing and rapid recovery of individuals affected by prolonged stress
Children’s understanding of well-being related questions
This paper presents the results of cognitive interviews with 8-year-old children from four European countries–Croatia, France, Finland, and Ireland. The aim of the interviews was to pre-test a selection of well-being-related questions as a part of questionnaire development for the first European multinational birth cohort study–Growing up in Digital Europe (GUIDE)/EuroCohort. Unlike most previous studies, we focused on a younger and more age-homo…
Translation, Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of the Minority Stress Scale Among Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Individuals in Croatia
Development of vocational gender stereotype attitudes scale (VGSA) for adolescents
The study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometrical properties of a new brief measure of gender stereotyping career attitudes. Participants were 222 early and 196 middle adolescents from Croatia. The Vocational Gender Stereotype Attitudes Scale (VGSA) consists of 12 items that represent masculine, feminine and gender-balanced activities obtained from the Personal Globe Inventory (PGI). The results showed the existence of the bifactor model…
Association between problematic Internet use and specific Internet activities and Covid-19- and earthquake-related stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms among Croatian young adults
Different effects of the pandemic and earthquakes on IU could reflect a different effect of various stressors on Internet behavior of young adults. Type of problematic Internet behavior may predict for the type of mental health problem
Problematic Internet Use, Anxiety, Depression, and Stress Symptoms in Adults with Covid-19 Pandemic and Earthquake Experience
In 2020, Croatia was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and two earthquakes. As previous research showed that Internet use (IU) increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, we carried out an online survey to determine the levels of problematic Internet use (PIU) and problematic specific Internet activities before and during the prolonged stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as earthquakes. We also determined the correlation between the PIU and spe…
