M. Barreda-Ángeles, S. Amendola & T. Hartmann et al.
| 2026
This scoping review of 198 studies found growing but fragmented research on virtual worlds and mental health—mostly focused on branded platforms (e.g., Second Life, World of Warcraft), with little work on major contemporary platforms (e.g., Roblox, Fortnite),
scant attention to shared technological affordances, limited causal evidence, and narrow participant samples, especially for children and adolescents.
|
Why it matters
For your international cross-sectional survey on mental health during COVID-19 lockdowns, measure users' virtual-world platform use and key affordances across platforms and be cautious about causal claims given limited causal evidence and underrepresented samples.

A. Murphy-Després, N. Alméras & D. Chartrand et al.
| 2026 | Vol. 7, Issue 4
During the Québec COVID-19 lockdown total physical activity and MVPA declined by about 8–9%, but participants who reported better physical health, mental health, and sleep tended to increase total PA; a 30-minute/week increase in MVPA was associated with higher
odds of reporting better physical health (OR 1.65).
|
Why it matters
This supports your focus on mental health during lockdowns by showing that modest increases in physical activity — especially MVPA — are linked to better self-reported mental health and sleep, suggesting PA promotion may help protect mental wellbeing during
lockdowns.

H. Chalise | 2026
| Vol. 6, Issue 1
The article documents rising social isolation and loneliness among older adults in Nepal—driven by population ageing and youth out-migration—and shows perceived social support strongly buffers loneliness and mediates its link to depression, while screening
and policy responses remain limited.
|
Why it matters
For research on mental health during COVID-19 lockdowns, these findings suggest perceived social support is a crucial mediator of loneliness-related depression in older adults and that screening measures and community-based supports (e.g., Older People’s Associations)
are useful constructs to include in international cross-sectional surveys and intervention recommendations.

Q. Xu, B. Xu & J. Yan | 2026
| Vol. 14
During Shanghai's 2022 COVID-19 lockdown, higher problematic mobile phone use among 1,311 college students was associated with greater loneliness and lower life satisfaction. Loneliness statistically mediated about 46% of the association, but the cross-sectional
design prevents causal conclusions.
|
Why it matters
This is relevant to your international cross-sectional survey because it identifies loneliness as a key mediator linking problematic phone use to reduced well-being during lockdowns, highlighting a measurable pathway to assess across contexts.

C. Quinlog, M. Garcia & I. Ticong et al. | 2026
| Vol. 61, Issue 8
The study found that social isolation during COVID-19 lockdowns significantly worsened BEEd students' emotional, social, physical well-being and mental health, with students reporting mostly negative emotions. Statistical analysis showed a strong association
between isolation and poorer well-being (r = 0.789, p = 0.01).
|
Why it matters
Relevant to your international survey because it provides strong, quantified evidence that lockdown-related social isolation is closely linked to declines in student mental health and should be measured and controlled for in cross-sectional analyses.
