Despite the fact that by now alcoholism as a negative social phenomenon has been widely studied by scientists of various fields, the problem continues to be one of the most urgent and intractable. This negative social phenomenon causes enormous damage to society, adversely affects people's health, reduces life expectancy, reduces working capacity, thereby worsening the quality of human resources and limiting socio-economic development. The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that the socio-psychological analysis of the problem remains extremely insufficient at this time. Usually, the main place in its study belongs to clinical and psychological research. At the same time, the socio-psychological aspect is clearly visible in the problem under consideration. It is connected with the study of the Self-concept and interpersonal communication as significant resources for overcoming life difficulties. At the same time, coping and the mechanisms of psychological protection of a person dependent on psychoactive substances, their specifics and interrelation, as well as the phenomenon of the Self-concept itself, have also not been fully studied and require more careful consideration. In this regard, the article attempts to generalize and analyze theoretical and methodological approaches to the definition of the concept of the Self-concept of a healthy person, the features of the Self-concept and the causes of its distortion in a person with addiction, as well as to consider coping behavior models used by people with alcohol dependence, which can provide theoretical grounds for creating effective programs to prevent alcohol addiction, as well as to help form an active problem-solving behavior that allows people to cope with a pathological attraction to alcohol., Несмотря на то, что к настоящему времени алкоголизм как негативное социальное явление достаточно широко исследован учёными разных направлений, проблема продолжает оставаться одной из актуальных и трудноразрешимых. Это негативное социальное явление наносит обществу огромный урон, пагубно влияет на здоровье людей, уменьшает продолжительность жизни, снижает трудоспособность, тем самым ухудшая качество человеческих ресурсов и ограничивая социально-экономическое развитие. Актуальность настоящего исследования обусловлена тем, что социально-психологический анализ проблемы остаётся на данное время крайне недостаточным. Обычно в её изучении основное место принадлежит исследованиям клинико-психологического характера. В то же время, в рассматриваемой проблеме явно просматривается социально-психологический аспект. Он связан с изучением Я-концепции и интерперсональной коммуникации как значимых ресурсов преодоления жизненных трудностей. При этом копинг и механизмы психологической защиты личности, зависимой от психоактивных веществ, их специфика и взаимосвязь, равно как и сам по себе феномен Я-концепции также окончательно не изучены и требуют более тщательного рассмотрения. В связи с этим в статье предпринята попытка обобщить и проанализировать теоретико-методологические подходы к определению понятия Я-концепции здорового человека, особенности Я-концепции и причины её искажения у человека с аддикцией, а также рассмотреть модели копингового поведения, используемые людьми с алкогольной зависимостью, что может предоставить теоретические основания для создания эффективных программ профилактики алкогольной зависимости, а также помочь формированию активного проблеморазрешающего поведения, позволяющего справиться с патологическим влечением к алкоголю.

Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the level of stress and coping strategies of dentistry students in Türkiye in terms of variables such as sleep, personality, alcohol consumption, and smoking. Methods: A questionnaire including socio-demographic questions, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, and COPE Inventory was administered to 293 students. Results: The students' Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale scores were 13.88±10.03, 14.60±8.98, and 19.41±9.64, respectively. Income perception and the dentistry-personality relationship were the largest stress factors. No significant difference was found between years in terms of stress level. Problem-focus and emotional-focus coping strategies were negatively correlated, while less-useful coping strategies showed positive correlation with Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale scores. While the students who reported their sleep duration as "adequate" showed high problem-focus and emotional-focus coping scores, they had low less-useful coping strategies and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale scores. The students who deemed dentistry suitable for their personality had higher problem-focus and emotional-focus coping scores and lower low less-useful coping strategies scores. Although alcohol consumption and smoking were unrelated to stress, they showed positive correlation with low less-useful coping strategies scores. Conclusion: No difference was observed between the level and sources of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale and the grade. Students utilizing effective coping strategies had lower stress than those using less-useful coping strategies. Therefore, dental education should include how to acquire and use effective coping strategies. Keywords: depression, anxiety, coping strategies, dentistry, dental education

Depression is a state of low mood that can lead to several negative outcomes on thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and even physical state. With that in mind, it is important to detect individuals at risk of developing depressive symptoms early and identify protective factors. During the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents emerged as one of the most vulnerable groups, with deteriorated anxiety and depression due to imposed social isolation, reduced social activities, and concerns over household status, health, and peer support. Distance learning through public service broadcasts and online tools lasted for several months, posing the need for adjustment. This study aimed to assess emotional competence and coping styles as predictors of depression in a sample of adolescents. The study was conducted in-person on a sample of 142 high school students. A high percentage of participants reported above-average levels of depression (21.1% severely depressed). On average, girls reported higher levels of depression than boys (t = 3.86, p < 0.01). Gender differences were also found in emotion-focused coping and avoidance, with girls scoring higher on both (p < 0.05). However, there were no gender differences in problem-focused coping or emotional competence. Hierarchical regression analysis concluded that perceiving and understanding emotions, expressing and naming emotions, regulating emotions, and avoidance were significant predictors of depression. This regression model explained 53% of depression variance, with the regulation of emotions being the most powerful predictor (p < 0.01). No mediating effect of coping styles on the relationship between emotional competence and depression was found in this study.

Purpose: Individuals with body image distortions tend to develop an obsession with calorie intake and weight, leading to compounded coping strategies such as modified eating behaviors, supplement use, and excessive exercise. In the local context, little is known about the equation connecting body image to improper eating behaviors and other potential coping mechanisms. This study primarily aims at critically identifying the nexus between features of disordered eating behavior including supplement use, and body image. Methodology: A probabilistic randomized sample of 305 gym members was assessed based on their level of body satisfaction and its influence on their eating habits and supplement use through a structured survey. Findings: Only 37% of the participants were satisfied with their body image. The results concurred with the notion of a poor body image influencing body esteem (χ2 (10) = 137.21, p < 0.05; Cramer V = 0.474). While exercise motivated the use of supplements, a significant relationship was also observed between disordered eating habits and supplement use (χ2 (4) = 48.63, p < 0.05; Cramer V = 0.399). A predictive model was successfully drawn inclusive of the disordered eating behaviors dimensions as a potent predictor of body image (χ2 (56) = 397.12, p < 0.001. Implications: This study presents an in-depth analysis of the magnitude of disordered eating behaviors with respect to individuals in the local fitness industry, and the need for professional support programs toward the re-alignment of body image in an effort to curtail the development of eating disorders in Mauritian gym-goers.

Objective: The full academic potential of tertiary students in Jamaica is diminished by their struggles to secure tuition and non-tuition financial resources. Principal among student needs is the ability to consume regular healthy meals. This study among three tertiary institutions in Jamaica explored the dynamics that affect student food security and how this can harm student success. It also examined how frequently tertiary students worry about feeding themselves and the extent to which they restrict their food intake. Methods:The analysis classified students as having low, moderate and severe hunger. Nine hundred and seventy-nine students completed the surveys through a quantitative method approach to collect data from students in different disciplines. To determine the factors related to hunger several demographic, socio-economic, living conditions and academic-related variables were examined. Results:The study found that most of the students (38.3%) suffered from severe hunger followed by moderate hunger (33%) and the lowest proportion (29.3%) with no/mild hunger. More than 70% of students worried each month about not having enough food while 33% of the students sometimes do not eat for an entire day. Their physical and emotional readiness to study was compromised as 40% said hunger affected their academic work via a variety of reasons such as headaches, poor concentration, and missed classes. Importantly, the low-achieving students experienced the most hunger. Conclusion: With data showing a strong link between food insecurity and student disengagement, the issue of hunger on campus represents a priority. The study concludes that administrators, counselors and the students themselves have critical roles to address hunger if tertiary institutions are to fully meet their educational mandate.

Następstwa słabowzroczności dotyczą wielu obszarów funkcjonowania człowieka. W kontekście problemów, jakich doświadczają osoby słabowidzące oraz związanego z nimi stresu, wzrasta znaczenie aktywności zaradczej. W literaturze przedmiotu można odnaleźć niewiele opracowań poświęconych temu zagadnieniu, a już zupełny ich brak zauważa się odnośnie do roli przekonań na temat świata i własnej skuteczności w kształtowaniu radzenia sobie ze stresem osób słabowidzących. W związku z tym celem opracowania stało się określenie zależności pomiędzy strategiami radzenia sobie ze stresem osób słabowidzących a ich przekonaniami na temat świata i własnej skuteczności. W badaniach zastosowano następujące narzędzia badawcze: Inwentarz Mini-COPE Carvera, Kwestionariusz Nadziei Podstawowej (BHI-12) Trzebińskiego i Zięby, Skalę Uogólnionej Własnej Skuteczności (GSES) Schwarzera i Jerusalem. Ustalono, że przekonania na temat świata i własnej skuteczności mają znaczenie dla strategii radzenia sobie ze stresem badanych słabowidzących. Najsilniejsze związki zależnościowe określono pomiędzy poszczególnymi strategiami radzenia sobie (oprócz dwóch) a nadzieją podstawową. The consequences of low vision concern various areas of human functioning. In the context of problems which affect people with low vision and the stress related to them, remedial activities are gaining increasingly more importance. In the literature on the subject, there are few studies devoted to this issue, and the complete lack of them is noticed regarding the role of beliefs about the world and self-efficacy in shaping the coping with stress of low vision people. Consequently, the aim of this research paper is to determine the dependence between stress-coping strategies of people with low vision and their beliefs about the world and self-efficacy. In order to achieve the set goal, Mini-COPE Inventory Measuring Stress-Coping Strategies by Carver, Basic Hope Questionnaire by J. Trzebiński and Zięba and The Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale by Schwarzer and Jerusalem were utilized for the research. It has revealed that beliefs about the world and self-efficacy are of relevance for the strategies of coping with stress among people with low vision. The strongest dependency relationships have been specified between the coping strategies (except for two of them) and basic hope.

Objectives: This study aims to compare tattooed and non-tattooed individuals in terms of their attitude toward cosmetic surgery in multiple motivational sources. Also, the differences across groups are examined by use of three different body image coping strategies Methods: Participants were 108 tattooed and 202 non tattooed individuals. Respondents were 267 females and 43 males from Turkey in a private university. Their age ranged between 18 to 29, and the mean age is 21. Results: The analysis indicated that tattooed individuals had a more positive attitude toward any cosmetic surgery application. Also, there is a difference in appearance fixation coping strategy between two groups. Tattooed individuals prefered to use appearance fixation to cope with their body image. However, the effect size of this difference was negligible to small. Conclusions: These results suggest that tattooed and non- tattooed individuals differ remarkably in cosmetic surgery attitude. Having tattoos has an effect on cosmetic surgery motivational sources. Tattooed individuals are more motivated and look positive toward cosmetic surgery interventions than non-tattooed individuals. Also, tattooed individuals use more appearance fixation coping strategy.

This study determined the coping strategies of secondary teachers in Malasiqui District II, Pangasinan I divsion amid Covid-19 pandemic. It also determined the stress level of teachers amid Covid-19 pandemic, significant relationships and significant differences between and among variables. It used the descriptive-correlational research design and utilized the google forms in the distribution and collection of data from the secondary teachers.This study found out that in the profile variables of the respondent-teachers, majority are married, 26-35 years old, Master’s degree holders with 5 years and below teaching service. Majority of the respondents too, are Teacher I who have 3 and below number of seminars or trainings attended. The teachers’ coping strategies amid the covid-19 pandemic along physical aspect, mental aspect, social aspect, emotional aspect, and spiritual aspect are highly effective. Significant relationship exists between the coping strategies of teachers amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the teachers’ profile variables; age, civil status, position, and number of years teaching. Likewise, significant difference exists on the coping strategies of the teachers amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the teachers’ profile variables; age, civil status, position, and number of years teaching.It is strongly recommended that teachers should continue their studies and should attend more seminars or trainings to improve their knowledge and skills specifically in handling unexpected situations such as the Covid-19 pandemic. It is also recommended that programs and projects in the schools must be developed to help teachers sustained their abilities in facing situations similar to this pandemic if ever another one will happen anytime in the future. Further, school professional and developmental program must be institutionalized and implemented specifically including variables that are consistent as source of stress among teachers. Lastly, there should be another study on the coping strategies of teachers with Covid-19 pandemic to further verify, complement or contrast the result of the present study.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between perceived stress, mindfulness and coping strategies of undergraduate dental students during the COVID-19. Methods: A cross‐sectional study was conducted among 128 undergraduate dental students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. Students completed surveys including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced inventory (COPE). Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U-test, Analysis of Variance, Student’s t-test, Kruskal Wallis test and Spearman correlation. Results: A negative association was found between the MAAS and PSS according to the Spearman’s correlation coefficient (rs =-0.823, p

This publication is with permission of the rights owner (Sage) freely accessible., This study investigates the impacts of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on smallholder farmers and their coping strategies in three contrasting Low- and Middle-Income Countries. The case studies include Brazil (South region), Madagascar (Atsimo Atsinanana region), and Tanzania (Morogoro/Eastern Tanzania). These countries were chosen because i) the economies are strongly influenced by the agricultural sector; ii) their national food security is strongly affected by smallholder production, and, iii) they represent a set of contrasting government responses to COVID-19 including the denial of the pandemic. Data were collected through semi-structured household interviews in all three countries in rural areas. COVID-19 induced effects were found in all three countries, including in Brazil and Tanzania where both national governments initially neglected the existence of COVID-19 and introduced few containment measures only. Here, mobility and trade restrictions of other countries impact also on agricultural trade and production in countries in which governments took less action to COVID-19 and also people remained home and practiced social distancing even if no official government policy was issued. The findings in all three countries suggest that the COVID-19 crisis had negatively affected smallholders’ agricultural production, leading to a vicious cycle of low production, low incomes, and higher food insecurity. Results of this study raise the thorny issue of how best to balance containment of pandemic and future shocks against the well-being of the vulnerable rural population in lower- and middle-income countries; especially considering also the degree of global interconnected and the potential of polices to effect people beyond the national scale.

The present study aims to explore the prevalence of burnout characteristics and their association with resilience, coping strategies, and the intolerance of uncertainty dimensions. It also aims to explore the predictive effect of these variables on burnout dimensions, separately. Through the SurveyMonkey platform, 1,009 anaesthesiologists completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Resilience Scale, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale Short Form (IU), and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). According to the MBI cut-off, 39.7% and 25.8% of participants scored high in Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization, respectively, and 44.2% scored low in Personal Accomplishment. Several significant correlations between burnout dimensions and resilience, coping strategies, and the intolerance of uncertainty emerged. Regarding the linear regression models tested, coping strategies, resilience, and age showed a significant predictive effect on all three of the burnout dimensions. In conclusion, the results showed that individual levels of resilience and one's ability to tolerate uncertainty and task-oriented coping strategies represent significant factors for lower burnout levels in Italian anaesthesiologists during COVID-19 pandemic. These findings highlight the importance of intervention aimed at promoting useful coping strategies and enhancing resilience among healthcare workers.

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar as estratégias de coping adotadas por trabalhadoras sexuais frente aos agentes estressores decorrentes da pandemia da COVID-19. Estudo qualitativo, apoiado nas teorias do Sistemas e Coping. Realizou-se entrevista em profundidade com 30 trabalhadoras sexuais, do Alto Sertão Produtivo Baiano, entre os meses de setembro e outubro de 2020. As narrativas foram submetidas aos recursos da hermenêutica-dialética para organização das categorias. Quatro categorias remetem aos agentes estressores do sistema: sentimentos negativos de medo, ansiedade e dificuldades de dormir com as incertezas diante da pandemia; preocupação com o sustento dos familiares; irritabilidade diante de conflitos; angústias e inseguranças com as condições de trabalho. Cinco categorias fazem alusão ao coping: focam no problema (pandemia); ressignificação e regulação de emoções; espiritualidade e religiosidade; redes de apoio e suporte social; uso de substâncias e medicamentos. Os estressores surgem em decorrência das vivências do serviço sexual aliadas a situação pandêmica com redução de clientes e renda, desenvolvendo sentimentos e emoções negativas. Todavia, as estratégias de coping são diversas e tentativas de lidar com os problemas e equilibrar a saúde mental. Abstract The objective was to analyze the coping strategies adopted by female sex workers in the face of stressors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative study supported by Systems and Coping theories. An in-depth interview was carried out with 30 sex workers from the Alto Sertão Produtivo Baiano between September and October 2020. The narratives were submitted to the resources of hermeneutics-dialectic to organize the categories. Four categories make reference to the system’s stressors: negative feelings of fear, anxiety and difficulties in sleeping with the uncertainties in the face of the pandemic; concern about personal and family support; irritability in the face of conflicts; anxieties and insecurities with working conditions. Five categories allude to coping: strategies focused on the problem (pandemic); reframing and regulation of emotions; spirituality and religiosity; support networks and social support; use of medications. Stressors arise as a result of sexual service experiences combined with the pandemic situation with reduced customers and income, leading to the development of negative feelings and emotions. However, coping strategies are diverse and they women made effort to deal with problems and to balance their mental health.

Due to the growth of COVID-19 cases, all educational institutions around the world have been closed to prevent the spread of viruses, causing stress and anxiety among students. Stress is part of students' learning experience as it can increase memory development but inhibit memory recovery due to internal and external expectations. Coping with stress deals primarily with external or internal pressures that are hard on one's skills and abilities. Students' coping strategies enable them to manage academic stress. The study aims to evaluate the academic stress and coping strategies of Pharmacy students before and during COVID-19 Pandemic. A descriptive quantitative type of research was conducted on a sample population of 333 of 3rd year and 4th year pharmacy students of Centro Escolar University in Manila. The study was conducted through an online survey questionnaire and gathered data from the respondents using the Factors of Academic Stress Scale and Coping Strategies Scale. The collected data were subjected to statistical tools such as Logistic Regression and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test at 0.05 alpha level, and R Core Team version 4.0.4 was used to further interpret the study result. The research concluded that academic stress and coping strategies of the students have significant changes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Academic institutions should improve and provide counseling to their students experiencing academic stress and help the students to learn more about their different coping strategies.

False denials are sometimes used to cope with traumatic experiences. We examined whether false denials can affect true and false memory production for a traumatic event and conversations surrounding the trauma. One hundred and twenty-six participants watched a trauma analogue video of a car crash before being randomly asked in a discussion with the experimenter to (1) respond honestly or (2) falsely deny that certain details happened in the video. After one week, all participants received misinformation about the discussion with the experimenter and the car crash. Finally, all participants were instructed to respond truthfully in a source memory task. Participants who falsely denied information during the first session were statistically significantly more prone than honest participants to omit details they denied and to report misinformation about what was discussed in the first session. Our work suggests that false denials of a traumatic experience might lead to both forgetting and increased false memory levels for earlier conversations about the event. ispartof: Memory vol:30 issue:9 pages:1158-1171 ispartof: location:England status: Published online

This study examines the experiences of Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) beneficiaries. The TES program aims to remove financial barriers to higher education. Through a case study research design and purposive sampling, data was collected from beneficiaries across different courses. The main objective was to identify challenges faced by beneficiaries, their coping strategies, and insights gained from their personal experiences. Findings revealed that although the TES program effectively addresses financial needs, beneficiaries encounter specific difficulties. Challenges include delayed fund disbursement and personal/family issues. Despite obstacles, beneficiaries demonstrated resilience and resourcefulness in overcoming challenges. They expressed gratitude for the opportunities provided through the TES program and hoped for its continuation to support others facing financial constraints. The TES program has played a vital role in enabling the academic aspirations of many students. Its continuation will offer opportunities for individuals to realize their potential. This study provides insights into TES beneficiaries' experiences, informing policymakers and educational institutions to improve program implementation and support.

This study aimed to describe the compliance with the guidelines for school’s reopening in implementing face-to-face learning modality of the schools in the District of Boac North. It answered questions relative to the level of compliance of the school to the guidelines for the school opening using face-to-face modality in terms of General Guidelines; on the prevention of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases and Monitoring and Evaluation, on the issues and challenges experienced regarding the implementation of face-to-face classes; the coping strategies are used to address the issues and challenges on the implementation of face-to-face classes and the enhanced implementation framework/model to be proposed by on the results of the study.The study used mixed methods of research or combined quantitative and qualitative methods. Sources of data or respondents included four significant groups. They included 198 teachers, 4,061 learners, 19 barangay captains, and 19 Barangay Health Workers in the District of Boac North. It reveals that the schools assessed as fully compliant with the general guidelines of the opening of face- to- face learning modality in terms of alignment to BEDP. Lack of significant difference between the compliance level of schools to DepEd Order 34 s 2022, and the designation of school heads and school size only show that compliance to this provision is mandatory and standard across schools and learning communities. Principals, Head Teachers, and Teacher-In-Charge managed the select schools subjected to this study. Over all, the select schools under this investigation attained full compliance and adherence to the salient guidelines and standards of implementation of face- to- face learning along the contexts of general guidelines, on prevention of Covid-19 and other infectious diseases and monitoring and evaluation. Most of the select schools under this study were seriously challenged by problems with limited health supplies and resources. In general, most of the select schools were able to cope with the challenges of face- to- face learning through sourcing out learning tools from reliable sources and strengthening collaboration with the stakeholders. The provision of reinforcements, strategies and best practices in support of schools’ compliance to the standards of implementation of face-to- face learning in consideration of general policies, health and safety, and evaluative system direct the developed Enhanced Implementation Framework/Model.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the challenges encountered and coping strategies used by teachers in implementing SPED inclusive education programs in public elementary schools of the third congressional district in the division of Quezon. It also covered the types of Learners with Special Educational Needs (LSEN), teaching strategies utilized by teachers, the challenges encountered by the teachers, and the coping strategies used by teachers to address the challenges they encountered in implementing SPED inclusive education programs for learners with special educational needs.This study used judgment or purposive sampling; the researcher chooses a sample that agrees with her subjective judgment of a representative sample. Eight teachers who managed the SPED inclusive education program participated in this study as respondents, which is a change from the previous practice of just choosing any sampling unit that is simple to contact. This study used an interview guide and a qualitative research methodology. To better understand the difficulties faced and coping mechanisms teachers use when implementing SPED inclusive education programs for students with special educational needs, this qualitative, phenomenology study uses a comparative, cross-sectional approach. The research revealed that learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD), and Dyslexia are the major types of learners with special educational needs that are handled by teachers in SPED inclusive education programs. The following are some of the teaching strategies that teachers use when instructing learners who have special educational needs: visual aids, educational videos, positive reinforcement, simplification of the lesson, regular routines, written handouts, peer tutoring, written copies, giving directions, instructions, reading materials, multiple examples, cooperative learning, individualized instructions, and experimental learning. Positive reinforcement was found to be the approach that teachers who responded to the survey said they used most frequently and best when instructing learners with special educational needs. Behavior issues, communication difficulties, lack of parental involvement, and learning disability characteristics are among the difficulties teachers face when implementing SPED-inclusive education programs for students with special educational needs. Studies have looked at the integration of children with behavioral problems in general education, and among these, a behavioral problem is noted as the most difficult issue experienced by the teacher-respondents. Study results have indicated that peers distance themselves from aggressive kids. Coping strategies used by teachers to address the challenges they encountered in implementing SPED inclusive education program for learners with special educational needs are the following: differentiated instructions, emotional understanding, technology, and visual aids, positive instructions, being relaxed, not allowing pressure to affect her, a different approach, encouragement, and peer tutoring. Teachers use various strategies to help learners with special educational needs (LSEN) to achieve their full potential. Most of the teachers agreed that the best coping mechanism for dealing with the difficulties they faced was emotional understanding. Teachers may foster a welcoming climate where everyone is appreciated and embraced inside the school. The promotion of respect, empathy, and understanding among students, faculty, and parents should take place in the classroom. Engage parents in helping to assist their children's learning. To build an effective learning plan for the child, teachers should work closely with parents to determine their child's strengths, limitations, and particular requirements.

In the last decades, young people not in education or employment have become the focus of policy-makers worldwide, and there are high political expectations for various intervention initiatives. Despite the global focus, there is currently a lack of systemic knowledge of the factors supporting policy-making. Therefore, using scoping review methodology, a systematic literature overview of research findings in 2013–2021 on young people not in education or employment will be provided. The research revealed five categories to consider from a policy-making perspective: “NEET” as a concept, the heterogeneity of the target group, the impact of policies for young people, possible interventions, and factors influencing young people's coping strategies. Based on analysis, the target group requires applying the holistic principle where the young person is a unique person whose involvement in service creation supports the service's compliance with the actual needs of young people. To support young people, it is important to consider differences within a single social group; the interaction between the different site-based policies; young people's sense of self-perception and autonomy in entering support services; possible coping strategies and the need to provide support in a time and place-based flexible and caring environment through multidisciplinary teams. The study's results support the importance of implementation and the identification of existing opportunities of the EU's reinforced Youth Guarantee guidelines and point to possible future research topics related to the target group.

Throughout the cancer trajectory, parents of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) may experience mental and social challenges requiring continual adaptation to cancer-induced stress. Using Lazarus and Folkman’s Transactional Model of Stress and Coping framework, this qualitative study aimed to describe Hispanic parents’ psychological health and explore their coping strategies. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 15 Hispanic caregivers from a safety-net hospital in Los Angeles County. To be eligible, participants had to be: the primary caregiver of a CCS who had completed active treatment, the primary caregiver or child self-identified as Hispanic, and proficient in English or Spanish. The interviews lasted approximately 60 min, were audio-recorded (in English and Spanish), and professionally transcribed. Data were analyzed following a thematic content analysis with deductive and inductive approaches on Dedoose. Participants described high levels of stress and fear when their child was diagnosed with cancer. They also shared experiencing symptoms of social anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. Participants’ coping strategies were encompassed by three major themes: problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidant coping strategies. Problem-focused coping strategies included self-efficacy, behavioral change, and social support. Emotion-focused coping strategies included religious practices and positive reframing. Avoidant coping strategies included denial and self-distraction. Despite the evident disparities in psychological health for Hispanic parents of CCSs, gaps remain in designing a culturally tailored program to help alleviate the caregiver burden. This study provides insights regarding coping strategies that Hispanic caregivers use to deal with the psychological impact of their child’s cancer diagnosis. Our findings also delve into the contextual and cultural factors that impact psychological adjustment.

Stress is a natural human emotion that everyone feels at some point in their lives, especially when confronted with adversity. When a COVID-19 pandemic occurs, strict guidelines are implemented, and a new normal emerges. Coping strategies, on the other hand, refer to an individual's reactions to stressful events. Students, particularly paramedical students in a job-oriented medical training program that receives training in real-world medical situations, are vulnerable to stress due to the transitional nature of college life. Recent studies have expanded on the concept of various coping strategies and dug deeper into it. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the various levels of stress and coping strategies used by paramedical students. Furthermore, it seeks to determine the significance of the relationship between stress and coping strategies. The researchers used a quantitative descriptive correlation research design and the ETA correlation to determine the relationship between levels of stress and coping strategies. The study included 101 paramedical students of Cebu Institute of Technology University. The study results revealed that the majority of paramedical students were under moderate stress. In order to cope with their stress, they frequently used problembased and emotional-based coping strategies. Subsequently, it was revealed that there is no significant relationship between levels of stress and coping strategies. That an increase of stress for students, their coping skills does not increase significantly.

Workplace harassment is such a deeply personal experience, only people who have gone through it can describe it in detail and are therefore qualified to serve as an authority in their own right. Previous studies suggest that workplace harassment is such devastating that participants resorted to the following coping styles to survive their workplace harassment-related experiences - clearing the air, availing professional services, spirituality, self-encouragement, positive distraction and support system. With all the things they went through, the participants gained the following learnings and insights – you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone, stand up for one’s own right, be wary of trusting people and to look for a silver lining in every situation. Hence, the participants recommended the following to be included in the anti-workplace harassment policy - the administration and the creation of a grievance committee, conduct of workplace harassment assessment, workplace harassment rules and regulations, conduct of annual anti-workplace harassment awareness, orientation and wellness activities. In view of these recommendations, an anti-workplace harassment policy was crafted, which underwent a validation from various experts in the field of human behavior, law and human resource management.

Mental health has been a constant and important concern in the academic sector thus, this study aimed to measure the mental health literacy, level of stressful experiences and coping strategies among teachers. This study utilizes a descriptive- correlational research design and complete enumeration to determine the respondents and the data gathered were treated with the appropriate statistical treatments. Result of the study revealed that the most preferred coping strategy of the elementary teachers is religiosity and they have never tried substance use. Conclusively, findings showed that there is no significant relationship between mental health literacy and level of stressful experiences of the elementary teachers. However, a significant relationship was found between mental health literacy and coping strategies, and so is on the level of stressful experiences and coping strategies of the respondents.

Health-care managers need to support the establish formal workplace mental health programs to support the psychological well-being of all staff.

Francisco D Fernández-Martín, Lorena Flores-Carmona, José L Arco-Tirado Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology, University of Granada, Granada, SpainCorrespondence: Francisco D Fernández-Martín, Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology, University of Granada, Campus Universitario de Cartuja s/n, Granada, 18071, Spain, Tel +34 958242095, Fax +34 958248975, Email fdfernan@ugr.esPurpose: Different studies have highlighted the importance of coping strategies in stressful situations. The Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced (COPE) by Carver et al is one of the instruments that is frequently used for measuring this aspect. The aim of this study was to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Brief-COPE inventory to measure coping strategies in Spanish populations.Methods: The linguistic and cultural adaptation of the Brief-COPE was carried out using the back-translation method and, after considering the results of the pilot test, the Spanish version of the instrument was configured, and subsequently administered to a convenient sample of 2135 undergraduates. A confirmatory factor analysis was carried out to examine construct validity of the Spanish adaptation of the brief-COPE; likewise, reliability was analyzed from two approaches, internal consistency and composite reliability. Concurrent validity was also tested.Results: The results showed that the Spanish version of Brief-COPE has adequate reliability values, as well as satisfactory fit indexes for the proposed 14-factor first-order structural model. Likewise, external evidence of the validity of the inventory with the variables perceived stress, level of satisfaction with life, and academic performance is provided.Conclusion: The results suggest that this instrument presents a satisfactory metric quality and, therefore, it could be useful to evaluate coping strategies, which would allow further research on its incidence and consequences on health and psychological functioning.Keywords: coping strategies, psychometric properties, Spanish adaptation, validation

The article describes a study of coping strategies of Physical Education (PE) teachers and their role in the process of burning out. It highlights the role of gender differences in coping strategies. Female PE teachers apply mostly coping strategies like Fighting, Social support, wishful thinking, alleviation of outcomes, and Assuming responsibility, actions following the plan. They use the least likely Distancing. Male PE teachers frequently use the strategies Concentration on the task, actions following the plan, and Fighting. Successively, they use Accepting responsibility, and the least likely Reduction of tension. Some strategies derived in the research effectively cope with burnout in the PE teaching occupation and others are ineffective and may even lead to a depersonalized treatment of students.

Background Following disasters, children and adolescents can use coping strategies to feel better. A growing body of studies investigated the relation between them and maladjustment/adjustment, i.e., negative symptomatology/positive indicators of development. Yet, these constructs are studied separately. Objective We conducted two meta-analyses to examine the mean correlation between disaster-related coping strategies and indicators of maladjustment/adjustment following natural disasters in children and adolescents, considering the role of some moderators. Methods We used PsycINFO, PubMed, Eric, and Scopus databases to identify articles on natural disasters (filters: participants ≤ 18 years at the disaster, peer-review, English language). Inclusion required investigating the relation between at least one coping strategy and at least one indicator of maladjustment (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder, depression) and/or adjustment (e.g., self-efficacy, emotion understanding), for a total of 26 studies (k = 64, n = 9692, for maladjustment; k = 37, n = 3504, for adjustment). Results There were global positive significant correlations between coping strategies and negative symptomatology (rpooled = .23) for maladjustment, and positive indicators (rpooled = .17) for adjustment. Negative symptomatology positively correlated with escape (r = .19), social isolation (r = .15), submission (r = .64), and opposition (r = .16); positive indicators positively correlated with problem solving (r = .31), social support (r = .22), and submission (r = .30). We found a moderating role of age, disaster type, and continent for maladjustment. Conclusions The study presented an analysis of the coping strategies that can be effective for children and adolescents dealing with natural disasters.

Objectives Use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) in education may improve medication-overuse headache (MOH) patients’ ability to cope with pain. In a randomised controlled trial, we evaluated the effect of education focusing on behavioural change among MOH patients. Methods Ninety-eight MOH patients were randomized (1:1) to standard treatment and 12-weeks of MI-based education versus standard treatment alone after detoxification. Outcome of interest was changes in coping strategies measured by the Coping Strategy Questionnaire at four- and nine months. Results The educational program improved patients’ perceived efficacy in the use of their coping strategies to control pain, both at four-and nine months follow-up (mean±SE): ∆:0.84 ± 0.35, 95% CI:0.16;1.52, p = 0.02 and: ∆: 0.90 ± 0.39, 95% CI:0.14;1.66, p = 0.02, respectively. No between-group differences were detected in the other coping subscales. Within the intervention group, the coping strategy subscales Catastrophizing, and Reinterpretation of pain sensation were significantly improved at nine months follow-up (p = 0.003 vs. p = 0.012, respectively). No changes were found in the control group. Conclusion MI-based education focused on behavioural changes improved MOH patients’ perceived efficacy in the use of their coping strategies to control pain. Practice implications Education based on MI could be valuable for MOH patients with respect to behavioural changes and perceived headache control.

Conclusions: The highest levels of stress are manifested by students who study only theoretical subjects. It is suggested the implementation of interventions related to the adequate management of stress

This paper presents the general strategies of the post-war anomie’s overcoming in the fields of social interactions and business. The main purpose of the research is to study developmental features of the anomic behavior, and possible behavioral pathologies of people in business environment that can occur in post-war society. Investigation of this topic in the paper is carried out in the following logical sequence: at the initial stage of the research, an analysis of the main stages of the phenomenon of anomie in human life was carried out. Based on the analysis results, it is substantiated that a number of socio-psychological problems arise when social interactions are changed, and business environment is developed rapidly. This tendency is more visible in a post-war society. The aim of the research is the systematization of methodological approaches for implementations the psychological aid and work in mental correction and rehabilitation among people with anomic behavior, to prevent the deepening of the negative symptoms endangering emotional state and possible behavioral pathologies do not become deeper and endanger the whole society. The paper presents the results of an empirical analysis, which showed that the person with anomic behavior or marginal person falls into the psychological shock, which is characterized by the following aspects such as tensions caused by efforts to achieve the necessary psychological adaptation, emotion of loss and depreciation (friends, status, property and profession), feeling of rejection, violation of roles, role expectations, values, self-identification of emotions, existence of an unexpected alarm, hatred, disgust as a result of the realization of cultural differences and, finally, feeling of non-completeness due to failure to adapt to the new business environment. Based on the results of the study of various societies during the post-war period, the article identified strategies for overcoming social anomie in the spheres of social interactions and business. The main strategy types include unification strategy, professional specific orientations, disintegration of vital activities, retreat strategy, adventurism, anti-sublimation (humiliation behavior) and innovative strategy. The identification of strategic priorities for overcoming anomie, which are of practical meaning for productive business sphere management, should serve as the perspective directions for further research.

Objectives To analyze the correlations between family care, coping strategies and the subject well-being (SWB) of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods From November 2019 to October 2020, 264 CHD patients who had undergone PCI were enrolled in this questionnaire survey. The research tools applied included General Information Questionnaire, the Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and the General Well-being Schedule. SPSS 24.0 and Amos 23.0 software packages were used for statistical analysis. Results The mean scores for family care, confrontation, avoidance, acceptance-resignation and SWB, were 7.59 ± 2.24, 20.03 ± 3.78, 16.49 ± 2.70, 10.42 ± 2.01, and 73.31 ± 11.63, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the path coefficient between family care and subjective well-being was higher in males than females. Family care was directly related to coping strategies. The coping strategies were directly related to SWB, while family care showed an indirect association with SWB via coping strategies. Conclusions Family care can improve CHD patients' SWB post-PCI, and coping strategies are important for the link between family care and SWB. Also, men received more family care than women. Based on a patient's characteristics, healthcare providers can promote patients' positive coping strategies, increase their perceived family care, and improve the patient's SWB.

Social media's "dark side"—including dis/misinformation and harassment—is increasingly problematic. What strategies do people use to cope with such issues in their daily life? Based on Lazarus and Folkman's Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (TMSC), this study investigated how individuals cope with such issues on Twitter. An online survey, including the Ways of Coping Questionnaire, was used to analyze 800 US adult Twitter users' coping strategies. The study found Folkman and colleagues' 8-strategy grouping applicable to this context. The top coping strategies were Distancing (e.g., "Went on as if nothing had happened"), Self-Controlling (e.g., "I tried to keep my feelings to myself"), and Planful Problem-Solving (e.g., "I made a plan of action and followed it"). Primary and secondary appraisals were associated with most strategies (7 out of 8). Significant demographic differences were found, especially with Twitter usage frequency and gender. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

BACKGROUND: Access to assistive technology for disabilities is limited in low-resource settings. Therefore, existing research focuses on accessibility challenges. This article focuses on how students with learning disabilities manage learning in the absence of assistive technology, a subject that receives less scholarly attention OBJECTIVES: This article aims to provide insights on how students with learning disabilities manage learning in the face of limited access to assistive technology. It explores conversion factors that influence access to assistive technology METHOD: This qualitative study used semistructured interviews to collect data from students with learning disabilities and respective university staff members who were recruited using convenience and snowballing techniques. Data were analysed thematically and supported by thick descriptions of experiences RESULTS: This study established that students have limited access to assistive technology, and they manage learning through self-devised means that are more socially than technologically or scientifically inspired such as self-affirmation, animal therapy, family support and prayer. Conversion factors, which affect ability by either enabling or constraining access to assistive technology, were identified at personal and institutional or environmental levels CONCLUSION: The article concludes that even though students with learning disabilities devise unconventional assistive ways to manage learning, failure to access assistive technology is a capability deprivation that promotes inequalities CONTRIBUTION: This article provides insights that shift perspectives that students with disabilities are passive recipients of support; rather, they can be active agents who innovate nontechnological ways to manage learning in the absence of assistive technology

ObjectivePediatric solid organ transplantation (SOT) is a chronic condition that impacts the whole family system. The objective of this study is to evaluate psychopathology, family stress, and coping strategies in families of SOT recipients compared to families of healthy children and adolescents. Moreover, it analyzes if the stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic has had an additional impact on these families.MethodsThe sample was recruited between May and July 2021, during the fourth and fifth wave of the pandemic in Spain. It consisted of 102 families, 51 with a pediatric recipient who had undergone a SOT (liver, kidney, heart, or lung) and 51 healthy controls, matched by child age and gender. A primary caregiver from each family answered an online sociodemographic questionnaire and different tests to evaluate family stress, depression, anxiety, coping strategies, and effects of the pandemic on the family.ResultsCaregivers were mostly mothers (89.2%). Families of SOT recipients showed greater anxiety (U = 863.5, p = 0.003) and more total stress, stress related to childcare (t = −2.043; p = 0.045), and parent–child interaction stress (U = 355.5, p = 0.015). SOT families used more avoidance strategies, specifically denial (U = 889.5; p = 0.010) and abandonment of coping efforts (U = 1,013; p = 0.047), more religious strategies (U = 792.5; p = 0.031), and fewer social support coping strategies (t = 2.098; p = 0.038). No differences were found between groups in terms of exposure, impact, and distress more than 1 year after the start of the pandemic.ConclusionSOT families showed clinical levels of anxiety, more parent–child interaction stress, more difficulties in taking care of their child, more avoidance and religious strategies, and less use of social support strategies, even 4 years after transplantation. The pandemic did not have an additional differential effect on SOT families. Caregivers of SOT patients can benefit from psychological interventions focused on parents’ mental health, parent–child connectedness, skill building, and social support aid groups, with attention to multiculturalism and promoting a better balance between caregivers. There is a need for family interventions that are maintained over time. Strategies that offer this support to families through digital resources can facilitate adjustment to chronic illness, especially in pandemic times.

There is a growing interest in the study of Emotion Regulation (ER) in the workplace. Employees’ performance and wellbeing have often been linked to the use of effective ER strategies. These strategies can also help reduce the risk of burnout and decrease perceived job stress. Considering the importance of ER in employees’ mental health and psychological wellbeing at work, the present study aims to review the literature and conduct a meta-analysis evaluating the effects of vocational interventions on employees’ ER capacities. Ten electronic databases were searched from 2013 to November 14, 2022. The present review included 23 controlled and uncontrolled vocational intervention studies evaluating ER. with a total of 1,635 participants. The meta-analysis results suggest that vocational interventions yielded a medium effect size (Hedge’s g = 0.49; p < 0.001) in improving ER capacities of employees. The limited number of retrieved studies calls for more investigations in the future. This would allow the identification of precise moderators and active ingredients of vocational ER interventions.

The present study aims to replicate a multiple mediation model that was tested by Grass et al. (2018) in a sample of teacher students, and replicated by Zerna et al. (2022) in a sample of working teachers. In contrast, the present study investigates the mediation model in a sample of healthcare workers. NFC will function as the predictor and the burnout subscales emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal efficacy as dependent variables. Further, self-control, emotion regulation strategies, and coping strategies will be tested as mediators.

Climate change is the most fundamental threat of our time. Previous research shows that distress caused by awareness about climate change is widespread among adolescents all around world (Hickman et al., 2021). Climate change distress can manifest as cognitive and emotional impairments in response to climate change, behavioral impairments in daily life caused by concern of climate change and cynicism towards climate change (Clayton & Karazia, 2020). Adolescents’ coping strategies play a role in how they deal with climate change distress and engage in pro-environmental behavior (Ojala, 2012). These strategies can be divided into problem, emotional and meaning focused coping strategies (Ojala, 2012). There is an absence of previous longitudinal studies on youth and climate change from the perspective of developmental psychology. Hence, the present study aims to investigate longitudinal relations between adolescents’ climate change distress (cognitive-emotional impairment, behavioral impairment & cynicism), coping strategies (emotional, problem & meaning focused coping) and pro-environmental behavior on the within-person level.

IntroductionMany women experience severe emotional distress (such as grief, depression, and anxiety) following a diagnosis of fetal anomaly. The ability to cope with stressful events and regulate emotions across diverse situations may play a primary role in psychological wellbeing. This study aims to present coping strategies after disclosing a fetal anomaly to pregnant women.MethodsThis is a scoping review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Electronic databases, including Web of Science (WOS, BCI, KJD, MEDLINE, RSCI, SCIELO), CINAHL, and EBSCO PsycARTICLES, were used to search for primary studies from the inception of each database to 2021. The keywords were determined by existing literature and included: “fetal anomaly,” “fetal abnormality,” “fetal anomaly,” “fetal abnormality” AND “cope,” “coping,” “deal,” “manage,” “adapt*,” “emotion* regulate*,” with the use of Boolean operators AND/OR. A total of 16 articles were reviewed, followed by advancing scoping review methodology of Arksey and O'Malley's framework.ResultsIn this review, we identified 52 coping strategies using five questionnaires in seven quantitative studies and one mixed-method study. The relationship between coping strategies and mental distress was explored. However, the results were inconsistent and incomparable. We synthesized four coping categories from qualitative studies and presented them in an intersection.ConclusionThis scoping review identified the coping strategies of women with a diagnosis of a fetal anomaly during pregnancy. The relationship between coping strategies and mental distress was uncertain and needs more exploration. We considered an appropriate measurement should be necessary for the research of coping in women diagnosed with fetal anomaly pregnancy.

The data collected in this study is intended to be used in two separate bachelor theses. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a climate related vs. climate unrelated scenario on meaning in life, coping strategies and pro-environmental behavior as well as relations between these variables. Central objects of investigation are: Bachelor thesis 1: • Is the intention to behave in an environmentally friendly way significantly higher after the confrontation with a climate change related scenario, than after the confrontation with a climate change unrelated scenario? • Does the meaning in life change as a result of being confronted with the consequences of climate change? Bachelor thesis 2: • Is there a correlation between meaning in life and the coping strategy used dealing with climate change? Is this connection stronger after watching a climate related scenario (vs. a climate-unrelated scenario)? • Does meaning in life moderate the relation between the coping strategy used dealing with climate change and the intention to behave in an environmentally beneficial way? Research on this specific topic is sparse so far, although there have been some studies investigating individual aspects of our study, such as the relation of coping strategies and pro-environmental behavior. The results of this study should contribute to the expansion of existing results of studies as well as extending the current research on the psychological effects of climate change.

Mental health professionals have been experiencing vicarious trauma due to their exposure to trauma-related cases. This study explored the coping strategies used by mental health professionals in dealing with vicarious trauma. A purposive sample of five (5) mental health professionals participated in this study. The study utilized Narrative Inquiry and Thematic Analysis to explore the stories of handling trauma cases and construct the central themes of coping strategies from vicarious trauma among mental health professionals. Findings of the study generated six central themes: a) recognition of experienced vicarious trauma symptoms, b) healthy personal and working relationships, c) fulfilling self-preserving needs, d) regulation of thought processes, e) professional competence and due care, and f) fate and faith. The results provided a holistic approach to vicarious trauma that targeted all dimensions of an individual; emotional, physiological, cognitive, occupational, and spiritual.
