ABSTRACT This is a quantitative, descriptive and exploratory research, with cross-sectional design that investigated the stressors experienced by nursing technicians working in general hospital and identified the coping strategies most used by them. The sample contained 310 participants. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Ways of Coping Scale were used. For the analysis we used descriptive statistics and calculated the Cronbach's alpha. 60% of professionals used the strategies focused on the problem; 57.4% attributed their stress to working conditions, 26.8% to relationships in the workplace, 5.5% to the lack of reward at work and only 0.6% to problems personal. We conclude that strategies focused on the problems were the most used, indicating an approximation of the stressor in order to fix it. The identified stressors indicate the need for planning, stimulating and recognizing nursing professionals.

Abstract Introduction: Diseases take a toll not only on those affected, but also on the ones around them. Regardless of language, culture or country caregiving has become an everyday part of life for millions of people around the globe. Though differently named on each continent, these millions of 'carers' or 'caregivers' provide care to family members, partners or friends each year because they are sick, elderly or have a disability. This cross-sectional study was undertaken to assess the coping strategies and sense of coherence among caregivers of patients with mental and neurologic illness. Methods: Comparative, descriptive study design was used. The study was conducted among 40 caregivers of clients who were admitted in psychiatric and neurologic wards of Kasturba Hospital, Manipal. Tools used were demographic proforma, coping scale and sense of coherence-29 scale. Results: Findings showed that there was no significant difference in the coping strategies and sense of coherence of caregivers of mentally and neurologically ill patients (p>0.05). The study also revealed that there was no association between sense of coherence and coping strategies of caregivers of mentally ill patients (p=1). Conclusion: Both the caregivers of mentally and neurologically ill patients used almost same coping strategies such as substance abuse and denial. Both the caregivers of mentally and neurologically ill patients considered caring their relative during illness is meaningful.

Background: A year after the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world, the pandemic is still affecting healthcare systems with an increasing number of infected healthcare workers. Such a unique situation may often result in emotional turmoil, anxiety, depression, and fear, which could lead to resignation and burnout. The study intended to assess the feelings of nurses toward the COVID-19 outbreak; ascertain the factors that cause stress; and determine their coping strategies and factors contributing to coping. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was utilized to recruit 313 nurses working in the Ministry of Health (Saudi Arabia) hospitals that accommodate COVID-19 patients. The study instrument was adapted and modified from the ”MERS-CoV Staff Questionnaire” and the Brief COPE. Results: The results showed that female, married, those with a bachelor’s degree, and aged 25–34 years had higher significant coping strategies. On the other hand, Filipino nurses assigned in the Outpatient Department and COVID-19 Isolation Ward had more negative feelings and encountered several factors causing stress but were coping in a better way than others. Conclusion: Nurses’ commitment to their profession appears to be an intrinsic motivation to continue caring for COVID-19 patients despite the risk of infection. Comfort with religion, spiritual beliefs, and the presence of a support system were the coping strategies used by nurses to ameliorate the stress and negative feelings during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Background/aims Successful breastfeeding is crucial to combat infant malnutrition and is also paramount for the health of the newborn and the mother. However, student mothers face diverse challenges to exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to identify the challenges and coping strategies of exclusive breastfeeding practices among student mothers at a Nigeria university. Methods The study adopted a cross-sectional design. A total of 82 student mothers were recruited. Data were collected through a self-administered semi-structured questionnaire, containing questions on the breastfeeding practices and intentions of the mothers and the challenges encountered and coping strategies used. These data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 20. The data were analysed using Chi square tests, at 0.05 level of significance. Results The majority of mothers (93.9%) reported that they gave supplements other than breast milk to their babies, with the frequency ranging from rarely to often. Academic pressure was the most frequently identified challenge of exclusive breastfeeding by the respondents (72%), while 89% of the respondents received support from their husband as a major coping strategy. Conclusions Policies should be made to support and provide enabling environments for students who are also mothers. Nurses and decision makers in the university setting should consider ways to improve the exclusive breastfeeding practice of students.

ABSTRACTThe study focuses on perceived control and coping strategies regarding activity restriction due to osteoarthritis in a sample of older women. Using a cross-sectional design, it examines how these variables, separately and in combination, predict anxious symptoms and depressive symptoms. Perceived control did not predict anxious symptoms, while approach-type coping strategies did. Perceived control and approach-type coping strategies individually predicted depressive symptoms. Higher perceived control in interaction with avoidant-type coping strategies significantly predicted lower depressive symptoms. Overall, the findings suggest that perceived control and coping strategies with regard to activity restriction relate in different ways to anxious symptoms and to depressive symptoms.

Abstract This study investigated challenges, counselling needs and coping strategies of students with visual impairment in regular secondary schools in Nigeria. The descriptive survey of cross-sectional design was employed for the study. Five hundred and twenty-seven students with visual impairment in regular secondary schools were included in the survey by using purposive and captive sampling techniques. The findings of the study revealed that the challenges of students with visual impairment in regular secondary schools include inability to access modern technologies, ( $\overline {\rm{X}} $ = 3.73), inappropriate teaching methods ( $\overline {\rm{X}} $ = 3.64), non availability of special curriculum ( $\overline {\rm{X}} $ = 3.57). It is therefore recommended that teachers and school authorities should ensure that students with visual impairment are taught to develop effective study habits and techniques of self-activity.

ABSTRACT Aim: To demonstrate the relationship between religious/spiritual coping and hope in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach performed in a reference outpatient clinic in Caruaru, PE, between August and October 2017. A total of 82 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were included in the study, using the brief religious/spiritual coping scale (RCOPE-Brief) and the Herth Hope Scale (HHS). Results: The sample presented mean positive RCOPE scores (3.03 ± 0.41) and the level of hope was considered high (42.7 points ± 3.67). Patients who had a high RCOPE score were found to have a higher mean of Herth’s level of hope (44.12 points). Conclusion: This study becomes relevant to nursing professionals by encouraging care that takes into account the patient’s spiritual dimension in order to stimulate positive mechanisms of religious coping and, consequently, raise the levels of hope.
