The lowest scores of mental well-being were noted during the confinement period (0.77 ± 1.8) as compared to pre-confinement (6.56 ± 1.42) and a remarkable recovery was observed post the confinement phase (6.68 ± 1.32). Higher scores of depressive symptoms were observed during the confinement period (10.05 ± 0.13) as opposed to pre- (0.31 ± 0.79) and post- (0.38 ± 0.09) temporal zones. The findings revealed a radical proliferation of social media (91%) through a self-perceived dependency for its informative purpose and related addiction as well as an evolution of adverse psychological effects characterized by a spectrum of feelings such as restlessness and lowered self-esteem. The instrument consisted of a combination of validated scales and self-developed items. The current study sought to explore how the pattern of use, as well as the purpose of Facebook usage, could impact the mental well-being of young Mauritian adults, before, during and after the pandemic-mediated confinement.Ī cross-sectional approach using a sample of 378 young adults was chosen with a self-administered questionnaire shared through online mediums.
Prominently, an increase in Facebook usage during the pandemic was observed which could influenced the mental well-being of Facebook users. The unprecedented outbreak of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) resulted in numerous psychological consequences among young Mauritians. This is of great importance because the majority of the children with ASD are nonverbal, and lack of communication correlates with problem behavior. Having in mind the effectiveness of the implemented procedure, as well as data that parents of children with ASD can be successfully trained to use this procedure in their home environment, it is important to train them to implement it correctly. At the very first session of the procedure implementation, the child spoke clear words, while in the last session, the number of spoken words per session was 192. Therefore, the aim of this case study is to examine the effectiveness of the use of ss pairing procedure in order to induce vocal speech with a nonverbal child diagnosed with ASD. Research shows that using this procedure is more efficient for increasing the number of emitted words when compared to other procedures.
Stimulus-stimulus (ss) pairing procedure can be used in a variety of ways in treatment of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), however it is mostly used in inducing vocal speech in nonverbal children.
