Being a pastor is a challenging life calling, not only in terms of duties and responsibilities, but also due to the lifestyle “demands”. On a personal level, a pastor is an individual who still needs to take care of their own welfare as well as being cared for. The current study is a qualitative research that aims to understand the psychological well-being dynamics of pastors. There are two informants in this study. Results showed that factors supporting the psychological well-being of the two pastors are self-determination, skill and positive values acquired from the seminary, adaptive coping strategies, and social support.

The main purpose of this cross-sectional study, carried out with deaf parents and blind parents, is to analyze the association of coping strategies, life satisfaction, well-being, and generalized self-efficacy, compared to a group of parents without a sensory loss. The Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced, Satisfaction with Life, Generalized Self-efficacy, and Psychological Well-Being scales were applied. Results indicate that: (1) deaf parents and blind parents search for social support, use avoidance, and turn to religion more than those without a sensory loss; (2) deaf parents are more satisfied with life than blind parents and those without a sensory loss; (3) deaf parents and blind parents perceive themselves as less efficacious than those without a sensory loss; (4) deaf parents and blind parents report lower psychological well-being (autonomy and personal growth) than those without a sensory loss, except for self-acceptance. Searching for social support and turning to religion are negatively associated with life satisfaction in deaf parents and those without a sensory loss; further, these coping strategies (together with avoidance) affect the psychological well-being of deaf parents and parents without a sensory loss. Future research could investigate deeper into the effects of these dimensions on well-being and the styles of parenting in these families.

Psychologically, the rate of parental divorce has a negative contribution to child development. Not all children from divorced families have poor psychological well-being. Some children quickly move on with their family conditions so that it does not really affect their psychological well-being. There are at least three factors related to the psychological well-being of children with divorced parents, namely social support, coping strategies and reliance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of social support and coping strategies on the psychological well-being of adolescents whose parents divorced through resilience as a mediator.

Amputation affects the patient physically, psychologically, socially, economically, and spiritually. The highest number of prevalent traumatic amputations was in East Asia and South Asia followed by Western Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, high-income North America and Eastern Europe. Similarly in Nigeria, amputation has devastating effects on individuals, and on the economy. A number of researchers have invested time and energy in reducing the challenges but it appear that the number of depression and other effects are increasing daily. Therefore, the research aimed at assessing the psychological well-being, social support and coping strategies of patients with amputation. The study adopted a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional designed to investigate the psychological well-being of amputees. Total enumeration was adopted for the research. A validated questionnaire was used with a Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency ranging from 0.81 to 0.81. Data were collected and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23 to generate summaries of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results showed that the age ranged of the participants were from 25-34 years. The characterization of the degree of Psychological well-being of patients shows that majority of the respondents are of high level of disappointment, discouragement, dissatisfaction and despondent about their present conditions and life. Similarly, the first regression result indicate that there is a significant relationship between the psychological well-being and coping strategies which affects the duration of the amputees attending the clinics with [R2 = .721, R2 adj = .558, F(27, 46) = 4.411, p < .001], therefore this hypothesis was accepted. Also, the second hypothesis indicated that there is a significantly relationship among the psychological well-being, social support and coping strategies of amputees attending clinic with [R2 = .909, R2 adj = .805, F(39, 34) = 8.748, p < .001]. Therefore, this hypothesis was accepted. The study concluded that complexity of psychological well-being, social and coping strategies in the lives of human being and their inter relationships were well exposed and their relationships were evaluated. Future research should be conducted on a larger sample, using a mixed-method approach to uncover a large diversity of coping efforts used, by individuals who had a lower limb amputation.
