The COVID-19 pandemic impacted on academic routine because of the social distancing measures. This study examined the relationships of sociodemographic characteristics, social distancing aspects and psychosocial factors on psychosocial well-being among undergraduate students during the social distancing period due to COVID-19. A web-based survey was conducted of undergraduate students at a public university in Brazil (n = 620). Demographics, socioeconomic status (SES), social distancing factors, negative affectivity (DASS-21), sense of coherence (SOC-13), social support and psychosocial well-being (GHQ-12) were measured. The direct and indirect links between was variables was tested using structural equation modelling. The estimated model showed that greater social support, higher sense of coherence and lower negative affectivity were directly associated with better psychological well-being. Female gender, higher SES, not working during the social distancing period and availability of online modules were indirectly associated with psychological well-being through psychosocial factors. Working during the social distancing period and availability of online modules mediated the link of age, gender, SES with psychological well-being. Our findings suggest the need to provide psychological support, online teaching and financial aid to undergraduate students during the social distancing period due to COVID-19 pandemic to improve their psychological well-being.

Untreated Caries

Untreated caries is the most prevalent disease in the world. A sense of coherence (SOC) is believed to contribute to oral health. We aimed to clarify the association between guardians’ SOC and their children’s caries based on socioeconomic status (SES) in Japan. This study’s subjects were Japanese public junior high schoolers (N = 1730), aged 12–15, and their guardians in Kosai City. We administered a questionnaire survey among guardians in 2016 to assess their SOC and family environment. With their students’ consent, public junior high schools shared the results of the dental examinations that were part of their school physicals. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to clarify the association between guardians’ SOC and their children’s untreated decayed permanent teeth. We also conducted a stratified analysis according to a relative poverty line. We observed in the multivariate regression a significant inverse association between children’s untreated decay and their guardians’ SOC (OR 0.93, 95%CI 0.87–1.00). The association of SOC was stronger in the low economic group (OR 0.64, 95%CI 0.43–0.95). Guardians with higher SOC were associated with children having fewer caries. Guardians’ SOC is a factor for the prevalence of caries and access to dental care, especially among children with low economic status.

Children’S Oral Health

Abstract Background Untreated caries is the most prevalent disease in the world. A sense of coherence (SOC) contributes to oral health. However, little is known about the association between guardians' SOC and children’s oral health. We aimed to clarify the association between guardians’ SOC and their children’s caries based on socioeconomic status in Japan. Methods This study’s subjects were Japanese public junior high schoolers, aged 12-15, and their guardians. We administered a questionnaire survey among guardians in 2016 to assess their SOC and family environment. With their students’ consent, public junior high schools shared the results of the dental examinations. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to clarify the association between guardians’ SOC and their children’s untreated decayed permanent teeth. We also conducted a stratified analysis according to a relative poverty line. Furthermore, we included interaction term of annual equivalent incomes, educational attainment with guardians’ SOC in analysis. Results We observed a significant inverse association between children’s untreated decay and their guardians’ SOC (OR 0.93). Equivalent annual income had a significant marginal association with decayed teeth (OR 0.14). The association of SOC was stronger in the low economic group (OR 0.64). In the high economic group, educational attainment was significantly associated with decayed teeth (OR 0.50). Conclusions Guardians with higher SOC were associated with children having fewer caries. Guardians’ SOC is a preventive factor for children’s caries, especially among children with low economic status. Key messages This result suggests that guardians’ SOC is one of the psychosocial determinant of children’s oral health.

Abstract. This study investigates family background (child-centered parenting, parental socioeconomic status), school success in adolescence, and career orientation (education, stability of career line) in adulthood as antecedents of adult sense of coherence (SOC; Antonovsky, 1987a ), which has been posited to be a disposition crucial to understanding individual differences in successful coping with stress. Participants (104 men and 98 women) were drawn from the ongoing Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS), which was started when the participants were 8- or 9-year-old children (in 1968). Data gathered at ages 14, 27, 36, and 42 were used in this study. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that child-centered parenting in adolescence and a stable career line in adulthood were directly associated with a high SOC at age 42. In addition, child-centered parenting, high parental socioeconomic status, and school success at age 14 were indirectly associated with adult SOC via education and stability of career line. The SEM multigroup comparison showed that the obtained associations were similar for men and women.

Untreated Caries

Abstract Background Untreated caries is the most prevalent disease in the world. A sense of coherence (SOC) is believed to contribute to oral health. However, it is unclear whether the contribution of SOC is larger among children with lower socioeconomic status (SES). We aimed to clarify the association between guardians’ SOC and their children’s caries based on socioeconomic status (SES) in Japan.Methods This study’s subjects were Japanese public junior high schoolers, aged 12-15, and their guardians. We administered a questionnaire survey among guardians in 2016 to assess their SOC and family environment. With their students’ consent, public junior high schools shared the results of the dental examinations that were part of their school physicals. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to clarify the association between guardians’ SOC and their children’s untreated decayed permanent teeth. We also conducted a stratified analysis according to a relative poverty line. Furthermore, the interaction between annual equivalent incomes, educational attainment with guardians’ SOC was evaluated by including the interaction term respectably.Results Proportion of untreated decayed permanent teeth of adolescents was 9.37% for 12 - 13 years, 9.02% for 14 years, and 11.78% for 15 years. Guardians’ SOC score was 15.1 (SD 3.2, range 3 - 21). We observed in the multivariate regression, a significant inverse association between children’s untreated decay and their guardians’ SOC (OR 0.93, 95%CI 0.87-1.00). Equivalent annual income had a significant marginal association with decayed teeth (OR 0.14, 95%CI 0.02-1.04). The association of SOC was stronger in the low economic group (OR 0.64, 95%CI 0.43-0.95). The interaction terms of educational attainment and guardians’ SOC was not significant. In the high economic group, educational attainment was significantly associated with decayed teeth (OR 0.50, 95%CI 0.27-0.91). The interaction terms of educational attainment and guardians’ SOC was not significant.Conclusions Guardians with higher SOC were associated with children having fewer caries. Guardians’ SOC is an important factor for the incidence of caries and access to dental care, especially among children with low economic status.
