The psychometric properties of the Bangla Nomophobia Questionnaire
Nomophobia (the fear of being without a mobile phone or being unable to use it) is an area of growing research interest. The 20-item Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) is the most popular instrument to assess nomophobia. However, there is no validated scale to assess nomophobia in Bangladesh. The present study translated and validated the NMP-Q into Bangla. A cross-sectional study using convenience sampling was conducted among 585 university studen…
HIV risk perception and problematic alcohol use among urban slum residents in Bangladesh
HIV continues to be a global public health issue. Urban slums in Bangladesh are at high risk for the HIV epidemic, but little is known about how slum people perceive their risk and deal with alcohol use. Therefore, the focus of the study was to explore the HIV risk perception, problematic alcohol use and the associated factors within urban slum settings. We conducted a cross-sectional study between March and May 2023 among 739 urban slum resident…

Despite the vaccine against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) being reported to be safe and effective, the unwillingness to vaccinate and doubts are still common. The aim of this international study was to assess the major reasons for the unwillingness to vaccinate in a group of students from Poland (n = 1202), Bangladesh (n = 1586), India (n = 484), Mexico (n = 234), Egypt (n = 566), Philippines (n = 2076), Pakista…

The Process of Childbirth of the Malo Women in Bangladesh
Globally, tribal women are less privileged than mainstream or non-tribal women. Noticeably, the socio-economically backward tribal women usually follow the traditional methods instead of the so-called modern medical system for childbirth in Bangladesh. Conversely, archaeologically, terracotta plaques and sculptures found from several archaeological sites in Bangladesh, and globally childbirth motifs indicate that the delivery of the baby was carr…

The same measure was imposed in Bangladesh, where people were in self and mandatory quarantine for 14 days. The objectives of this study were to assess the psychological and nutritional changes of a quarantined population in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 outbreak. A total of 5792 individua…

Problematic Smartphone and Social Media Use Among Bangladeshi College and University Students Amid Covid-19
Background: Smartphone and social media use are an integral part of our daily life. Currently, the impact of excessive smartphone and social media use during the COVID-19 pandemic is poorly understood.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out involv…
Amelioration of Metal-Induced Cellular Stress by α-Lipoic Acid and Dihydrolipoic Acid through Antioxidative Effects in PC12 Cells and Caco-2 Cells
α-Lipoic acid (ALA) and its reduced form dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) are endogenous dithiol compounds with significant antioxidant properties, both of which have the potential to detoxify cells. In this study, ALA (250 μM) and DHLA (50 μM) were applied to reduce metal (As, Cd, and Pb)-induced toxicity in PC12 and Caco-2 cells as simultaneous exposure. Both significantly decreased Cd (5 μM)-, As (5 μM)-, and Pb (5 μM)-induced cell death. Subsequentl…
Knowledge, attitudes and perceptions towards Covid-19 vaccinations
The findings reflect inadequate knowledge but more positive attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccine among the general population in Bangladesh. In order to improve knowledge, immediate health education programs need to be initiated before mass vaccination are scheduled
Prevalence and predictors of post-traumatic stress symptoms and depressive symptoms among Bangladeshi students during Covid-19 mandatory home confinement
Knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding Covid-19 outbreak in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, an array of measures have been adopted to control the rapid spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. Such general population control measures could significantly influence perception, knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards COVID-19. Here, we assessed KAP towards COVID-19 immediately after the lock-down measures were implemented and during the rapid rise period of the outbreak. Online-based cross-sectional study conducted from Ma…
The impact of Covid-19 pandemic on mental health & wellbeing among home-quarantined Bangladeshi students
Student Suicide Risk and Gender
According to the World Health Organization (WHO 2018), suicide has become the second leading cause of fatality among the 15-29-year-old age group where many of whom are likely to be students. Similar findings have already been reported in Bangladesh. Previous research in Bangladesh reported approximately 61% of total suicide cases were found to be below the age of 30 years In a recent systematic review, the mediating critical factors of student s…
Prevalence and Factors Associated with Depression and Anxiety Among First-Year University Students in Bangladesh
University students, especially those in their first year, not only face challenges related to their personal life but also to their academic performance. Such unfavorable conditions predispose them to psychological illnesses such as depression and anxiety. The present study surveyed first-year undergraduate students to assess the prevalence of depression and anxiety and their potential underlying reasons. A cross-sectional questionnaire was cond…
Psychometric Validation of the Bangla Fear of Covid-19 Scale
The recently developed Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) is a seven-item uni-dimensional scale that assesses the severity of fears of COVID-19. Given the rapid increase of COVID-19 cases in Bangladesh, we aimed to translate and validate the FCV-19S in Bangla. The forward-backward translation method was used to translate the English version of the questionnaire into Bangla. The reliability and validity properties of the Bangla FCV-19S were rigorous…
Weight-Related Status and Associated Predictors with Psychological Well-being among First-Year University Students in Bangladesh
University students (especially first-years) not only have to cope with their academic curriculum but also issues such as being away from the home environment and living independently for the first time. Those who do not adapt quickly to these new conditions are likely to be susceptible to physical and psychological vulnerabilities. The present study surveyed first-year Bangladeshi undergraduate students to investigate their weight status (i.e., …
Suicidal ideation among Bangladeshi university students early during the Covid-19 pandemic
Covid-19 pandemic and Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh
The COVID-19 pandemic is now a global crisis and the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are in the most vulnerable situation. Lack of access to services that are considered critical and life-saving such as food, drinkable water, and shelter, together with limited access to health services are turning an already serious crisis into a major human disaster. Meanwhile, there are concerns that Rohingya refugees are already in too poor health to ward off …
