The Relationship

The well-being of healthcare personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic depends on the ways in which they perceive the threat posed by the virus, personal resources, and coping abilities. The current study aims to examine the mediating role of coping strategies in the relationship between risk perception of COVID-19 and psychological well-being, as well as the relationship between meaning-based resources and psychological well-being amongst healthcare personnel in southern Poland. Two hundred and twenty-six healthcare personnel who worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and medical laboratories during the first few months of the coronavirus pandemic (March–May 2020) filled in questionnaires measuring risk perception of COVID-19, meaning-based resources, coping, and psychological well-being. The results demonstrate that risk perception was negatively related to psychological well-being, whereas meaning-based resources were positively associated with well-being. Two coping strategies—problem-focused and meaning-focused coping—mediated the relationship between risk perception and psychological well-being as well as the relationship between meaning-based resources and psychological well-being. This indicates that perception processes and personal factors do not directly influence healthcare personnel’s psychological well-being, but rather they do indirectly through coping processes.

Practical Implications

El bienestar psicológico que experimenta un individuo puede verse afectado por diversas variables, como, por ejemplo, la ansiedad. En el caso concreto de los deportistas, la ansiedad derivada de la práctica deportiva es algo frecuente, pudiendo derivar en niveles bajos de bienestar. Sin embargo, podrían existir factores protectores que amortiguasen esta relación. En este sentido, el objetivo del presente estudio es analizar el posible efecto protector tanto de las estrategias de afrontamiento (evaluadas mediante el Cuestionario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento en Competición Deportiva), como de la cohesión de grupo (evaluada mediante el Cuestionario de Entorno de Grupo) sobre el bienestar psicológico (evaluado mediante la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff), a pesar de experimentar ansiedad en la competición deportiva (evaluada mediante el Cuestionario de Causas, Manifestaciones y Estrategias de Afrontamiento de la Ansiedad en la Competición Deportiva). Para ello se contó con una muestra de 99 futbolistas amateurs. Los resultados mostraron relaciones bivariadas negativas entre ansiedad y bienestar (r = -.03 / -.37). Sin embargo, al analizar el efecto moderador tanto de la cohesión grupal (β = .82, p < .001) como de las estrategias de afrontamiento (β = .87, p < .001), se observó que ambas variables amortiguaban el efecto negativo de la ansiedad sobre el bienestar. Estos resultados pueden tener importantes implicaciones prácticas en el desarrollo de intervenciones con deportistas para mejorar el nivel de bienestar psicológico a través de la mejora tanto de la cohesión grupal como de las estrategias de afrontamiento. The psychological well-being experienced by an individual can be affected by several variables, such as anxiety. In the specific case of athletes, anxiety derived from practicing sports is common and can lead to low levels of well-being. However, there could be protective factors that would buffer this relationship. The aim of the present study is to analyse the possible protective effect of both coping strategies (assessed with the Cuestionario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento en Competición Deportiva) and group cohesion (assessed with the Cuestionario de Entorno de Grupo) on psychological well-being (assessed with the la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff), despite experiencing anxiety in sports competition (assessed with the Cuestionario de Causas, Manifestaciones y Estrategias de Afrontamiento de la Ansiedad en la Competición Deportiva). A sample of 99 amateur football players was used. The results showed negative bivariate relationships between anxiety and well-being (r = -.03 / -.37). However, when analysing the moderating effect of both group cohesion (β = .82, p < .001) and coping strategies (β = .87, p < .001), it was observed that both variables dampened the negative effect of anxiety on well-being. These results may have important practical implications in the development of interventions with athletes to improve the level of psychological well-being through the improvement of both coping strategies and group cohesion. O bem-estar psicológico que um indivíduo experimenta pode ser afetado por diversas variáveis, como a ansiedade. No caso específico dos atletas, a ansiedade derivada do esporte O bem-estar psicológico que um indivíduo experimenta pode ser afetado por diversas variáveis, como a ansiedade. No caso específico dos atletas, a ansiedade derivada do esporte é comum e pode levar a baixos níveis de bem-estar. No entanto, pode haver fatores de proteção que amenizem tal associação. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar o possível efeito protetor das estratégias de enfrentamento (avaliadas pelo  Questionário de Estratégias de Enfrentamento em Competições Esportivas ) e da coesão grupal (avaliada pelo  Questionário  Entorno  Grupal) no bem-estar psicológico dos atletas (avaliado pela  Escala de Bem-estar  Psicológico de Ryff), apesar da ansiedade nas competições esportivas (avaliada pelo  Questionário das Causas, Manifestações e Estratégias de Enfrentamento  da Ansiedade na  Competição Esportiva). Para isso, investigou-se uma amostra de 99 jogadores de futebol amador. Os resultados revelaram relações bivariadas negativas entre ansiedade e bem-estar (r = -.03 / -.37). No entanto, ao analisar o efeito moderador das estratégias de coesão (β = .82, p < .001) e de enfrentamento em grupo (β = .87, p < .001), observou-se que ambas as variáveis ​​atenuaram o efeito negativo da ansiedade no bem-estar. Esses resultados podem ter implicações práticas importantes no desenvolvimento de intervenções com atletas para melhorar o nível de bem-estar psicológico através do aprimoramento das estratégias de coesão e de enfrentamento em grupo.

The Impact

During February and March 2020, the Italian government decided to provide guidelines in order to counter the spreading of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Several studies have shown that the first Lockdown deeply affected the psychological well-being of the individuals, but the role of possible protective variables is currently not known. In the present study we aimed to investigate the impact of several behavioral variables on individuals’ mental states and emotions experienced during the first Lockdown in Italy. Participants were 172 Italian adults and they were asked to answer several questions regarding the intensity of mental states and emotions experienced, the perceived usefulness of lockdown, the feeling of living a normal life, and the coping strategies implemented to face the pandemic. Results showed that, during the first wave of COVID-19 in Italy, only the perceived usefulness of lockdown positively affected people’s emotions. This result suggests that a better communication of the experimental findings supporting the political decisions made, and behavioral measures shaped to increase people’s commitment to the proposed rules are crucial in order to enhance people’s wellbeing. While this result is limited to the first wave and the first lockdown, future research should assess the role of rule acceptance and coping strategies in subsequent waves of COVID-19, and consequent partial or total lockdowns.

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.

And Coping

The global COVID-19 pandemic crisis has caused an unprecedented impact on most areas of people’s lives. Thus, framed within the scope of Existential Positive Psychology (PP2.0), this study aimed at assessing the psychological distress of adults living in Portugal during the first national lockdown, how they are coping with stress, as well to contribute to a deeper understanding about the role that positivity, experiential avoidance, and coping strategies have in psychological distress and well-being. For this purpose, 586 Portuguese adults (73% females) ranging between 18 and 78 years old (M = 38.96, SD = 12.20) completed an online survey during the initial phase of the pandemic crisis in Portugal. Findings suggest that experiential avoidance was the strongest predictor of a negative response (depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, and negative emotions), whereas positivity was a better predictor of psychological well-being and lower levels of depression. Additionally, self-blame, behavioral disengagement, and emotional venting were strong risk factors for psychological distress, whereas positive reframing, planning, and acceptance were associated with more positive outcomes. These findings highlight the critical role of experiential avoidance on individuals’ psychological distress and the essential contribution of positive life orientation in promoting flourishing. By offering a better understanding of the complex navigation through the dialectics between positive and negative life features, this study provides important and useful cues for psychological interventions directed at promoting a more positive and adaptive human functioning even through such potential adverse and painful life events.
