Introduction. The stress coping strategies people rely on impact their psychological well-being and may be related to the risk of developing psychopathology in the short- and long-term after an unfortunate event. Objective. To define the main stress coping strategies in our region as a first step in assessing the risk of developing psychopathology derived from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Method. This is an observational, cross-sectional, analytical study that includes 396 participants over 18 years of age residents of the state of Nuevo Leon. Using an online form, the participants were asked to complete the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CAE). Results. In general, after two months of mitigation measures in Mexico, positive reappraisal was the stress coping strategy with the highest score in the population studied. We found higher scores on negative auto-focused and overt emotional expression on the comparation between sociodemographic subgroups. Discussion and conclusion. The present study shows that, in our community, positive reappraisal was the stress coping strategy with the highest score. Positive reappraisal is an active form of coping associated with greater psychological well-being and fewer risk of developing psychopathology in the short and long term. Based on this, our hypothesis is that the predominant use of this strategy could translate into a higher psychological well-being during and after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the studied sample.

This study investigated personality traits and stress as predictors of psychological well-being among students in schools of nursing and midwifery, Makurdi. The study employed the ex post facto research design. The Big Five Personality traits Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Ryff’s Scale of psychological well-being were used to collect data from the participants. The participants constituted 25 (10.2%) males and 220 (89.8%) females with a mean age of 0.992. The study tested three hypotheses and each of the hypotheses tested six dimensions of Ryff’s psychological well-being using simple linear regression and multiple linear regressions. Result in hypothesis (1a) showed a significant outcome for conscientiousness, openness and neuroticism on psychological well-being (autonomy) [F (5,239) = 181.093, P < .001. Hypothesis (1b) likewise had a significant outcome for conscientiousness, openness and neuroticism on psychological well-being (environmental mastery) [F (5,329) = 44.720, P < .001. Hypothesis (1c) was accepted for conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness on psychological well-being (personal growth) [F (5, 237) = 71.964, P < .001. Hypothesis (1d) was confirmed for conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness on psychological well-being (positive relations with others) [F (5,239) = 77.131, P < .001. Hypothesis (1e) was accepted for all except extraversion on psychological well-being (purpose in life) [F (5,239) = 53.709, P < .001. Hypothesis (1f) was confirmed only for openness on psychological well-being (self-acceptance) [F (2,237) = 28.625 P < .001. Hypotheses (2a) to (2f) rejected the postulation of stress on all the dimensions of psychological well-being. Likewise, hypotheses (3a) to (3f) also rejected the joint predictions of personality traits and stress on psychological well-being among students. In conclusion, Personality traits significantly predicted psychological well-being of students in schools of nursing and midwifery, Makurdi. Particularly, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness personality traits found to influence psychological well-being while extraversion and agreeableness were the lowest personality traits influencing psychological well-being among students. In the contrary, stress rather positively predicted student’s psychological well-being as against earlier postulation that stress will negatively and significantly influence psychological well-being among students. Based on the findings, that personality traits and stress did not jointly influence psychological well-being among students in schools of nursing and midwifery, Makurdi. It was recommended that, more empirical research be geared towards student nurses’/midwives’ psychological well-being owning to their different personality traits in the course of their professional program. More so, research should be focused on Ryff’s dimensions of psychological well-being since psychological well-being is not a single construct but multidimensional to assist student nurses/midwives gain optimal psychological well-being.

Abstract. This research developed a new scale to evaluate Self-Efficacy in Multiple Sclerosis (SEMS). The aim of this study was to investigate dimensionality, item functioning, measurement invariance, and concurrent validity of the SEMS scale. Data were collected from 203 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients (mean age, 39.5 years; 66% women; 95% having a relapsing remitting form of MS). Fifteen items of the SEMS scale were submitted to patients along with measures of psychological well-being, sense of coherence, depression, and coping strategies. Data underwent Rasch analysis and correlation analysis. Rasch analysis indicates the SEMS as a multidimensional construct characterized by two correlated dimensions: goal setting and symptom management, with satisfactory reliability coefficients. Overall, the 15 items reported acceptable fit statistics; the scale demonstrated measurement invariance (with respect to gender and disease duration) and good concurrent validity (positive correlations with psychological well-being, sense of coherence, and coping strategies and negative correlations with depression). Preliminary evidence suggests that SEMS is a psychometrically sound measure to evaluate perceived self-efficacy of MS patients with moderate disability, and it would be a valuable instrument for both research and clinical applications.
