Social support mediates the associations of Information and Communication Technology use with mental health in Chinese Covid-19 patients during hospital quarantine
Information and communication technology (ICT) use can be a double-edged sword for mental health. This study aimed to examine whether different types of ICT use were diversely associated with mental health outcomes in hospital-quarantined patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to assess whether social support mediated these associations. This cross-sectional study involved hospital-quarantined COVID-19 patients from 10 March to 28 April 2022 …

Associations of Face-to-Face and Instant Messaging Family Communication and Their Contents With Family Wellbeing and Personal Happiness Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic

A Population Study on Covid-19 Information Sharing
Family support through the sharing of information helps to shape and regulate the health and behaviours of family members, but little is known about how families are sharing COVID-19-related information, or about its associations with family communication quality and well-being. We examined the associations of COVID-19 information sharing methods with sociodemographic characteristics, the perceived benefits of information communication and techno…
Patterns of Perceived Harms and Benefits of the Covid-19 Outbreak in Hong Kong Adults

We aimed to identify the patterns of perceived harms and benefits of the COVID-19 outbreak and to examine their associations with socio-demographic characteristics, happiness, and changes in smoking and drinking. A population-based cross-sectional online survey was conducted in May 2020 on Hong Kong adults (N …
Late-onset or chronic overweight/obesity predicts low self-esteem in early adolescence
Late-onset or chronic overweight/obesity predicted low general, social and academic/school-related self-esteem. Children who successfully reduced weight may have equal levels of self-esteem or even better social self-esteem than those being always underweight/normal weight. Overweight/obese children had a vulnerability to self-esteem in non-domestic environments
Family E-Chat Group Use Was Associated with Family Wellbeing and Personal Happiness in Hong Kong Adults amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic
Instant messaging (IM) is increasingly used for family communication amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. However, evidence remains scarce on how family e-chat groups were used and their associations with family and individual wellbeing amidst the pandemic. The numbers of family e-chat groups, functions used, and messages sent and received daily in groups were reported by 4890 adults in May 2020, and their associations with family wellbeing and personal…
