Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a reflective and analytical review of existing literature and policy frameworks concerning transgender youth. The study analyses the efficacy of present strategies in addressing psychosocial vulnerabilities and promoting mental health by identifying gaps through a systematic mapping of research evidence. Findings The findings indicate that transgender youth experience heightened mental health challenges due to poverty, abandonment and exclusion, compounded by inadequate policy support. It highlights the importance of psychotherapeutic interventions, inclusive social environments and robust frameworks for periodic mental health assessment. The fundamental rights of transgender people can be safeguarded and participation can be strengthened through increased acceptance and the successful use of supportive policies.Item Exfoliation mechanisms of 2D materials and their applications(The Learning Organization: An International Journal, 2025-10-25) Lathabhavan, Remya; H.L., ChidanandaPurpose Grounded in Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, this study aims to examine the role of opportunity to perform, supervisory support and peer support on self-efficacy and training transfer. This study also aims to examine the moderating effect of gender. Design/methodology/approach This study involved a cross-sectional survey of 639 employees from Indian organizations. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. To examine the moderating role of gender, a multigroup analysis was performed. Findings This study found that opportunity to perform, supervisory support and peer support predict training transfer through self-efficacy. This study also found that self-efficacy is positively related with training transfer. Most of the relationships among the variables were stronger among male respondents compared to the female respondents. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study stands among the pioneers that explores the role of self-efficacy and gender in training transfer within the context of an emerging economy, India.Item Employee satisfaction during the transition from work from home to hybrid workplace: exploring the role of mindfulness(Mental Health and Social Inclusion, 2025-03-11) Lathabhavan, Remya; Mehendale,SmitaPurpose The unprecedented changes during the pandemic to work from home (WFH) and back to office or hybrid during the post-pandemic scenario witnessed resistance to such changes among the employees. This study aims to analyse the effect of the resistance to change from WFH among the employees from a psychological perspective. Also, study analyses the mindfulness effects on manging the psychological distress and envisioning positive outcomes. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional study was conducted among 518 employees in India, and data was analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings The study found significant relationships of resistance to change from WFH with psychological distress, life and job satisfaction. The study also found that mindfulness dampens the negative effects of psychological distress with both life and job satisfaction. Future studies may focus on longitudinal studies to explore more effects on this aspect. Originality/value The study stands among the pioneers that discuss the hybrid work scenario during the post pandemic situation, considering employee’s resistance to change, associated psychological distress and role of mindfulness to cope with this.Item Examining the role of mental health in determining the quality of life after total knee arthroplasty surgery: a multi-wave study(Current Psychology: A Journal for Diverse Perspectives on Diverse Psychological, 2025-04-24) Khalilzad, Majid; Lathabhavan, Remya; Marznaki, Zohreh Hosseini; Nukpezah, Ruth Nimota; Mudgal, Shiv Kumar; Afshar, Amir MahmoudThe study examines the relationships of general health, mental health and quality of life among individuals in Northern Iran following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It also explores the effect of post-surgical insomnia on mental health and general health among the TKA patients. A longitudinal survey was conducted using self-reported data from 270 patients who were assessed for depression, mental health, quality of life, and insomnia at one week (T1), one month (T2), and three months (T3) post-surgery. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the data. The study revealed that general health was positively related to mental health over time (0.21, p<0.01; 0.25, p<0.01; 0.27, p<0.001). General health showed significant relationship with quality of life during the second time period (one month) 3(0.13, p<0.001; 0.17, p<0.01). Mental health was also seen to positively influence quality of life (0.17, p<0.01; 0.19, p<0.001;0.22, p<0.001). Insomnia negatively moderated the relationship between general health and mental health. Furthermore, mental health mediated the relationship between general health and quality of life during T2 and T3. The study underscores the intricate interplay between general health, mental health, and quality of life, with insomnia as a moderating factor in TKA patients. General health contributed to improved mental health and quality of life over time. This study sheds light on the complex factors influencing TKA outcomes, providing valuable insights for healthcare providers to enhance patient care and overall well-being.Item COVID-19 mental health impacts on academic engagement: a study on students of Egypt and India(Mental Health and Social Inclusion,, 2025-06-02) Lathabhavan, Remya; El-Bardan, Mohamed FawzyPurpose This study aims to investigate the association between COVID-19-related fear and academic engagement, perceived stress and life satisfaction among college students in two countries – Egypt in Africa and India in Asia, during the pandemic. The study also aims to analyze the moderating role of gender in these relationships. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data collected from 1,125 college students from India and 1,145 college students from Egypt. Findings Positive correlations were found between fear of COVID-19 and perceived stress among the college students of Egypt and India, while negative correlations were found between fear of COVID-19 and both student engagement and life satisfaction. The strength of these relationships was found to be stronger in the Egyptian sample compared to the Indian sample. Gender was found to be a significant factor in the relationships between the variables studied. In the Indian sample, female respondents appeared to experience more mental health concerns and academic impacts than male respondents. In the Egyptian sample, however, the gender effects varied for the different relationships between the fear of COVID-19 and the other chosen variables. Originality/value The results emphasize the need to reevaluate and monitor policies and resources to promote positive mental health among adolescents, especially during times of crisis. The study stands among the pioneers that investigated a comparative study of two countries to check the mental health impacts on the study engagement during the pandemic.
