Abstract [Purpose]: To understand the mental health level (HAMA) and trait coping style (TCSQ) of the Chinese aid Guyana medical team members (CAGMTM) under the new coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, in order to take effective measures to improve the CAGMTM Mental health provides a theoretical basis. [Method]: From October 2020 to March 2021, the team members have worked and lived in Guyana for 6 months. The mental health level (Hamilton Anxiety Scale, HAMA) and trait coping styles were investigated for 16 team members who aided Guyana. [Results]: The HAMA score of the CAGMTM was (14.75±5.12); 14 doctors had a score of (15.57+6.01); 2 chefs had a score of (17.5+7.78). The results of multivariate regression analysis showed that among the CAGMTM. Whether there are team members in isolation (t=3.383, p<0.05), and whether any medical staff in the hospital where the CAGMTM are located have tested positive for COVID-19 (t=-2.831, p<0.05) are important factors affecting the mental health of the team members during the epidemic. factor. The score of active coping in the coping style is (29.38±6.28) points, which is lower than the Chinese conventional model (t=-0.392, p<0.05); the negative coping score is (30.37±5.05) points, which is higher than the Chinese conventional model (t=4.908) , p<0.05); the HAMA score of the CAGMTM in the COVID-19 epidemic was negatively correlated with the positive response in TCSQ (r=-0.654, p<0.05); the HAMA score was positively correlated with the negative response in TCSQ (r=0.654) ,p<0.05). [Conclusion]: The mental health level of the CAGMTM under the COVID-19 epidemic is closely related to their idiosyncratic coping styles. For foreign aid medical team members working in countries with severe epidemics, attention should be paid to the mental health of foreign aid medical team members, timely intervention should be given, and psychological counseling should be carried out regularly, so that the aid team members can work and live better.

BACKGROUND: For family caregivers, sudden stroke events and heavy caring works are stressful events. At present, controversies about the factors affecting caregivers’ stress response and their correlation with coping styles still exist. OBJECTIVE: To explore the influencing factors and coping styles of mental health stress responses of stroke caregivers and promote caregivers to adopt positive coping styles for diseases and caring works. METHODS: The convenience sampling method is used to select stroke caregivers as the research objects. The general information questionnaires, Relative Stress Scale (RSS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) are utilized for investigation. RESULTS: 205 valid questionnaires are returned. Analysis suggests that the influential factors of mental health stress responses of stroke caregivers include the course of the disease, the impact of the disease on economic conditions, obligation to take care of other family members, understanding of stroke-associated diseases, and whether the patient is at risk. Social support and self-efficacy are negatively correlated with stress responses, while negative coping style is significantly positively correlated with stress responses. CONCLUSIONS: By increasing social support and self-efficacy, medical workers can guide stroke caregivers to take positive coping styles, thereby reducing their mental health stress responses.

The objective of this research was to assess the effect of spirituality and self-efficacy in the mental health of caregivers of patients with neurodegenerative disorders. Four styles of spiritual coping were examined to identify which of them can function as protective or risk factors for caregivers of patients with neurodegenerative disorders. Interviews were conducted face-to-face to 116 caregivers of patients diagnosed with some type of neurodegenerative disorder. The results showed that caregivers with a selfless spiritual coping style exhibit significantly higher depression, stress, and perceived overload than those with a collaborative style. No statistically significant differences were found between the means of the other styles of spiritual coping. Simultaneously, it was found that the selfless spiritual coping style is a risk factor for overload, depression, and stress. The study is a first step in understanding how spirituality interacts with self-efficacy to protect the mental health of caregivers of dementia patients in Puerto Rico. Our results theoretically and empirically support the functional compatibility of both psychological resources.

BackgroundPsychological resilience may reduce the impact of psychological distress to some extent. We aimed to investigate the mental health status of the public during the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and explore the level and related factors of anxiety and depression.MethodsFrom February 8 to March 9, 2020, 3,180 public completed the Zung’s Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) for anxiety, Zung’s Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) for depression, the Connor–Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) for psychological resilience, and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) for the attitudes and coping styles.ResultsThe number of people with depressive symptoms (SDS &gt; 53) was 1,303 (the rate was 41.0%). The number of people with anxiety symptoms (SAS &gt; 50) was 1,184 (the rate was 37.2%). The depressed group and anxiety group had less education, more unmarried and younger age, as well as had significant different in SDS total score (P &lt; 0.001), SAS total score (P &lt; 0.001), CD-RISC total score (P &lt; 0.001), and SCSQ score (P &lt; 0.001). The binary logistic regression showed that female (B = -0.261, P = 0.026), strength (B = -0.079, P = 0.000), and the subscales of active coping style in SCSQ (B = -0.983, P = 0.000) remained protective factors and passive coping style (B = 0.293, P = 0.003) and higher SAS score (B = 0.175, P = 0.000) were risk factors for depression. Optimism (B = -0.041, P = 0.015) in CD-RISC was a protective factor, and passive coping styles (B = 0.483, P = 0.000) and higher SDS score (B = 0.134, P = 0.000) were risk factors for anxiety.LimitationsThis study adopted a cross-sectional design and used self-report questionnaires.ConclusionThe mental health of the public, especially females, the younger and less educational populations, and unmarried individuals, should be given more attention. Individuals with high level of mental resilience and active coping styles would have lower levels of anxiety and depression during the outbreak of COVID-19.

Abstract Background Pediatric nurses experience a wide rang of stressful events at work every day, which can trigger a lot of emotional responses. The objectives of this study were mainly to assess occupational stress, coping styles and mental health among pediatric nurses,and to explore the potential interrelationships of these factors. Methods A total of 381 pediatric nurses from Chongqing, China were recruited in this cross-sectional study. We performed this study based on a questionnaire survey that contained the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Symptom-Checklist 90(SCL-90). Results The prevalence of healthy risk stress(HRS) in pediatric nurses was 54.3%, and nurses with different genders and professional titles have different occupational stress level. The result of the positive screen rates of mental healthy problems, by descending order, they were: obsessive-compulsive symptoms (52.0%), depression (33.1%), hostility (32.8%), and so on. Wilcoxon signed rank tests analysis showed pediatric nurses had both significantly higher risk mental health problems compared to general population and national nurse population. And with the application of the Spearman correlation analysis and Structural Equation Modelling were revealed a significant relationship among occupational stress, coping style and mental health. The positive coping style had a negative direct predictive effect on occupational stress(β=-0.499,P < 0.01) and mental health(β=-0.115,P < 0.01), negative coping styles had positive predictive effect on occupational stress(β = 0.185,P < 0.01) and mental health(β = 0.205,P < 0.01). Occupational stress had significant impact on mental health(0.416,P < 0.01), and it was played a part of mediating effect between coping style and mental health. Conclusion A high prevalence of occupational stress and worse mental health among pediatric nurses, and occupational stress and coping styles were important predictors for their mental health. In order to improve their mental health level, more attention should be paid and modifications should be made to the occupational stress and coping style for this population.

Abstract Background China has the world’s largest aging population and the number of empty-nest older adults is on the rise. In comparison to the aging population in general, empty-nest older adults have a lower level of subjective well-being and poorer mental health status due to a lack of emotional support from their children. The aim of this study is to conduct an empirical study to evaluate the efficacy of the ‘Path-oriented Psychological Self-help Intervention’ (P-oPSI) led by nurses on the mental health of empty-nest older adults in the community, to provide a scientific foundation for improving their quality of life. Methods A Quasi-Experimental controlled intervention study was conducted from 2015 to 2017. A total of 76 empty-nest older adults from 2 districts were recruited using a convenience sampling and assigned to 2 groups based on their residential communities in the city of Chifeng in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. The wait list control group participated in a mental health lecture to gain knowledge and learn techniques of mental health promotion. The intervention group additionally received 1 month of training in a nurse-led ‘P-oPSI’ for a month. Both groups were followed-up for 3 months. Mental health status, coping styles, and psychological self-help ability of the participating empty nest older adults were assessed at the baseline, 1 month, and 3-months follow up, respectively. Two-way analysis of variance and a simple effect test were used to analyse the differences of the two groups. Results The P-oPSI yielded a greater benefit for the mental health status, coping styles, and psychological self-help ability of the participants in the intervention group. Combined with a simple effect test, the scores of the mental health status, positive coping style, and psychological self-help ability of those in the intervention group significantly increased at 1 month after the baseline (F mental health status = 7.59, F positive coping style = 7.24, F psychological self-help ability = 7.07); and the sustainable effect of this program lasted for 3 months after the intervention (F mental health status = 13.24, F positive coping style = 10.42, F psychological self-help ability = 10.45), which reached statistical significance (P < 0.01). Conclusions The P-oPSI program significantly improved the level of mental health of empty-nest older adults in China. This intervention provides a new approach of self-management to improve mental health of older adults in community settings. Trial registration chictr.org.cn: ChiCTR1900025552.

Abstract Background. During the COVID-19 pandemic, college students were required to stay at home and maintain social distancing the entire spring semester of 2020. There is little research on how family function influenced mental health problems and how coping styles moderated the relationship between family function and mental health problems among college students during their stay-at-home period.Methods. We carried out four evaluations between February and October 2020 through an online survey. A total of 13,462 college students (age = 16--29 years) participated. Family function, coping styles, depression symptoms, and anxiety symptoms were studied. To evaluate the associations between variables, a generalized estimating equation was used. Results. Findings indicate that the incidence rates of depression rose during stay-at-home period from 33.87% to 40.08% after schools reopened. The incidence rates of anxiety rose from 17.45% to 26.53% through the entire period. The two-way interaction of time × family function for depression and anxiety were significant (χ2 = 52.97, p < 0.001 and χ2 = 51.25, p < 0.001, respectively). The three-way interaction of time × family function × coping style were also significant for depression and anxiety (χ2 = 862.09, p < 0.001 and χ2 = 583.29, p < 0.001, respectively) Conclusions. These findings shed light on how family function intersected with coping styles to influence the mental health problems of college students during and after the stay-at-home period of COVID-19.
