Abstract

The coronavirus illness 2019 (COVID-19) created previously unheard-of vulnerabilities in people's physical and mental health situations worldwide. The study aims to evaluate the mental health conditions among a representative sample of female workers in Dhaka city, Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on their state of sleep and its patterns as well as their professional lives. A cross-sectional quantitative method along with structural questionnaires was designed. Data collection was conducted through an online survey, and responses were received from 112 respondents. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21 (DASS-21) was used to assess the depression, anxiety, and stress levels of the respondents. The result shows that the respondents had depression, anxiety and, stress, respectively. Also, 52.50% of the respondents were dissatisfied with their sleeping patterns during the pandemic. After conducting a Chi-square test, the study also revealed that the respondents who had issues with depression, anxiety, and stress also had difficulties with the longer duration of staying at home (p<0.05), concentrating on their work (p<0.05), and working from home (p<0.05). The test also showed a significant relationship between the respondents' socio-demographic features and deteriorated mental health conditions. The study identifies that COVID-19 pandemic has clear impact on female worker’s mental health and their professional life.

Abstract

Menstruation, a natural biological process, remains deeply intertwined with women's lives but is surrounded by superstitions and stigmas, posing health risks. This study explores generational shifts in menstrual perceptions, focusing on women's knowledge, rituals, social stigmas, and the evolving sources of socialization. Using a phenomenological approach, interviews were conducted with women from 25 households, spanning three generations. Thematic analysis has been used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that while the first and second generations understood menstruation primarily as a sign of fertility and bodily maturity, the third generation recognized it as a hormonal process. Hygiene practices also varied, with older generations relying on cloths and holy water for pain relief, whereas younger women opted for sanitary pads and were more aware of the dangers of unhygienic practices. Additionally, the study highlighted prevalent misconceptions and stigmas among the first and second generations, while the third generation was more informed, open, and vocal about menstruation. The process of socialization around menstruation has also evolved; earlier generations mainly learned from their mothers, with little involvement from male family members. In contrast, the third generation gained knowledge from both parents and media, reflecting a significant shift in the cultural dialogue surrounding menstruation.
