          Abstract

          The dynamic nature of coronavirus-19 (Covid-19) has caused a wreaked havoc globally, with millions of confirmed cases and deaths. Therefore, it is important to understand the psychological impact of the Covid-19 on the patients. In the present study, we examine whether intolerance of uncertainty was related to the severity of symptoms and whether this relationship is mediated by perception of illness and covid-19 fear. The study sample comprised of 98 Covid-19 patients (Mean = 35.17 SD = 12.89). Mediation analysis was conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. Results of mediation analysis showed that the direct effect of intolerance of uncertainty on symptom severity was insignificant. However, the indirect effect via illness perception was significant, reflecting full mediation. The findings add knowledge to our understanding of the psychological consequences of Covid-19. The present study has implications for mental health services for patients with Covid-19, which will play a vital role in recovery from the illness.

          G*Power 3: A flexible statistical power analysis program for the social, behavioral, and biomedical sciences

          Franz Faul, Edgar Erdfelder, Albert-Georg Lang … (2007)
          G*Power (Erdfelder, Faul, & Buchner, 1996) was designed as a general stand-alone power analysis program for statistical tests commonly used in social and behavioral research. G*Power 3 is a major extension of, and improvement over, the previous versions. It runs on widely used computer platforms (i.e., Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.4) and covers many different statistical tests of the t, F, and chi2 test families. In addition, it includes power analyses for z tests and some exact tests. G*Power 3 provides improved effect size calculators and graphic options, supports both distribution-based and design-based input modes, and offers all types of power analyses in which users might be interested. Like its predecessors, G*Power 3 is free.

            The moderator-mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.

            Reuben M. Baron, David A Kenny (1986)
            In this article, we attempt to distinguish between the properties of moderator and mediator variables at a number of levels. First, we seek to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating, both conceptually and strategically, the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ. We then go beyond this largely pedagogical function and delineate the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena, including control and stress, attitudes, and personality traits. We also provide a specific compendium of analytic procedures appropriate for making the most effective use of the moderator and mediator distinction, both separately and in terms of a broader causal system that includes both moderators and mediators.

              COVID-19 and mental health: A review of the existing literature

              Ravi Philip Rajkumar (2020)
              Highlights • Subsyndromal mental health concerns are a common response to the COVID-19 outbreak. • These responses affect both the general public and healthcare workers. • Depressive and anxiety symptoms have been reported in 16–28% of subjects screened. • Novel methods of consultation, such as online services, can be helpful for these patients. • There is a need for further long-term research in this area, especially from other countries
