Objective The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between chiropractic students' coping styles and levels of resilience with their physical injuries, perceived levels of stress, and well-being. Methods A questionnaire was distributed to the entire student body of the chiropractic program at Murdoch University, and gathered demographic variables and responses to the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Perceived Levels of Stress Scale, Everyday Feelings Questionnaire, and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations. Linear regression analysis was used to calculate for significant relationships. Results Of 244 students, 194 (81%) completed the surveys. Being female and not having recovered from an injury within 12 months was significantly associated with lower levels of well-being and higher levels of stress. Being female, possessing an increased use of an emotional-based coping style, and having lower levels of well-being were associated with higher levels of stress (R2 = 0.65, F(6,164) = 50.47, p < .001). Lower levels of well-being were associated with being female, higher perceived levels of stress, lower levels of resilience, and an increased use emotional coping styles (R2 = 0.64, F[6,164] = 49.5, p < .001). Conclusion It is possible to identify chiropractic students at the university who are at risk of experiencing low levels of well-being and high levels of stress. These students may benefit from interventions aimed at enhancing their coping style choices and increasing their resilience levels. Future studies are recommended to see if these findings are consistent across chiropractic programs nationally and internationally.

Abstract Background and Objectives The emergence of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the measures implemented to curb its spread may have deleterious effects on mental health. Older adults may be at increased risk for adverse psychosocial outcomes since opportunities to remain socially connected have diminished. Research is needed to better understand the impact of pandemic-related stress on mental health. The purpose of this study is three-fold: 1) to examine the influences of COVID-19 pandemic-related stress on depression, anxiety, and loneliness, 2) to assess the mediating role of coping style and social support, and 3) to investigate whether these relationships vary across age. Research Design and Methods Participants (N = 1,318) aged 18-92 years completed an online survey assessing pandemic-related stress, mental health, social support, coping, and their experiences with social distancing, during the initial implementation of social distancing measures in the United States. Results Social support and coping style were found to relate to psychosocial outcomes. Avoidant coping was the strongest mediator of the relationship between pandemic-related stress and psychosocial outcomes, particularly depression. Avoidant coping more strongly mediated the relationship between stress and depression in younger adults compared to older adults. Discussion and Implications Results were consistent with the stress and coping framework and recent work highlighting older adults’ resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings highlight the associations between positive coping behaviors and psychosocial well-being and indicate that older adults may use unique adaptive mechanisms to preserve well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study aims to elucidate child welfare workers’ resilience and coping styles. Data were collected via questionnaire, specifically the Resilience Scale (RS) and Coping Style Scales-Brief Form (CSS-BF). RS-based results indicated intermediate professional resilience ( n = 108) wherein professionals protect their resilience with training and peer support or coaching. Emotion-focused coping methods were also found to be effective. Using different methods than those used in this study, future research on professional resilience in other social work areas is recommended.

Un afrontamiento inadecuado puede producir serias repercusiones negativas tanto sobre aspectos emocionales como en la capacidad para ejecutar cualquier tipo de tarea, es por ello que el objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar los estilos de afrontamiento de los entrenadores deportivos del estado de Yucatán, México; así como determinar las diferencias en el estilo de afrontamiento según el sexo y la relación entre las subescalas, sexo y tipo de deporte. Participaron 81 entrenadores de los cuales el 67.9% (55) son hombres y el 32.1% (26) mujeres, con una edad promedio de 35.42 años de edad y 11.32 años ejerciendo como entrenadores. A todos los participantes se les administró el Inventario COPE (Escala Multidimensional de Evaluación de los Estilos de Afrontamiento) que evalúa 15 dimensiones de afrontamiento al estrés que siguiendo el modelo de teórico de Folkman y Lazarus y el modelo de Anshell, se agruparon en una combinación factorial de segundo orden en: afrontamiento centrado en el problema, de evitación y afrontamiento centrado en la emoción. Respecto al estilo de afrontamiento mayormente utilizado es el centrado en el problema (M=3.01; DT=.37), no encontrando diferencias significativas respecto al sexo. Sin embargo, se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre las subescalas de afrontamiento y el tipo de deporte mayores a .05. Se puede observar que los análisis más detallados muestran algunas relaciones entre subescalas dependiendo del sexo y tipo de deporte. Abstract. Inadequate coping can lead to serious negative repercussions on both emotional aspects and the ability to perform any task. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify coping styles of sports coaches from the state of Yucatan, Mexico; in addition, to determine differences in coping style by gender, and to assess the relationship between subscales, gender, and type of sport. 81 professionals (67.9% [n = 55] men; and 32.1% [n = 26] women) with an average age of 35.42 years old and 11.32 average years working as coaches were selected. All participants were given the Multidimensional Scale in Coping Style (COPE) Inventory, which assesses 15 dimensions of coping with stress. Based on the theoretical models proposed by Folkman and Lazarus, and Anshell, these dimensions can be grouped in a second order factorial combination as follows: coping focused on the problem, avoidance, and coping centered on emotion. Regarding the coping style used, it is mostly centered on the problem (M = 3.01, SD = .37). Likewise, significant correlations between the subscales of coping and the type of sport (p < .05) were found. More detailed analyses show relationships between subscales depending on gender and type of sport.

The relationship between coping styles and subjective well-being (SWB) has recently received considerable empirical and theoretical attention in the scientific literature. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship have primarily remained unclear. The present research aimed to determine whether emotion regulation mediated the relationship between coping styles and subjective well-being (SWB). Our hypothesis is based on the integration of theoretical models among 1,247 Chinese college students. The SWB questionnaire, Ways of Coping Questionnaire, and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were used to correlate SWB, emotion regulation strategies, and coping styles, respectively. The random forest method was applied to predict life satisfaction and estimate the average variable importance to life satisfaction. The results indicated that positive coping can indirectly influence life satisfaction via cognitive reappraisal and indirectly influence expression suppression via positive affect. Negative coping can indirectly influence negative affect via expression suppression. Besides, negative coping was positively associated with both expression suppression and negative affect. Cognitive reappraisal was found to be positively associated with positive affect. The findings indicated that coping style is essential for the SWB of college students. These findings provide insight into how coping styles impact SWB and have implications for developing and assessing emotion regulation-based interventions.

The aim of the present research was to evaluate a model of mediated moderation vs. moderated mediation that could explain the relationship between length of unemployment, dispositional resilience, coping styles and depression and social functioning of Venezuelan unemployed individuals. Self-report measures were administered to a sample of 328 unemployed residents in Caracas, Venezuela. Results indicated that emotional coping acted as a mediator in the relationship between resilience and depression. Individuals with greater resilience used more detachment coping when unemployment was longer, while individuals with poorer resilience in the same situation used less avoidance coping. Resilience acted as a protective moderating factor between longer periods of unemployment and social functioning, a process mediated by detachment coping. Overall, results supported a mediated moderation model, with resilience as the moderating factor and coping as the mediator in the relation between stress due to the length of unemployment and well-being.

Everyone copes with stressful events in his/her life differently. Three strategies in dealing with stress include problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, and religious-focused coping. Death of loved ones has been considered one of the major sources of stress in individuals and poses threat to their well being and adjustment if one’s failed to cope with the grief. Interestingly, previous studies show that families and caregivers of terminally ill patients suffered bereavement prior to the actual death, a phenomenon labeled anticipatory grief. Article presents a study with the purpose to investigate the relationship between different coping styles and anticipatory grief in parents of children diagnosed with cancer. Fifty-five parents, ranging from 20 to 60-year-old, participated in this study. Results revealed that coping style, particularly emotion-focused coping, significantly predict anticipatory grief in parents of children diagnosed with cancer. However, both problem-focused coping and religious-focused coping did not predict parental anticipatory grief in this study.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a great impact on public mental health. However, loneliness during the lockdown related to depression and whether the relationship would be mediated by coping style or whether sex moderates loneliness and coping style are not clear. The study aimed to examine the mediating role of coping style in the relationship between state loneliness and depression as well as the moderating role of sex in the relationship between state loneliness and coping styles during the COVID-19 lockdown. Participants were 337 college students in China during the COVID-19 pandemic (January–February 2020). States of depression and anxiety, state loneliness, and coping styles with COVID-19 were measured. The results show that loneliness was an effective predictor of depression during self-quarantine. Moreover, coping style mediated the relationship between state loneliness and depression although sex did not moderate the relationship between state loneliness and coping style. Youths were inclined to use more positive coping strategies than negative coping strategies. Our results indicate less loneliness is an effective way to relieve depression, and coping strategies, especially the positive ones, are important for youths to prevent depression and loneliness during the lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of present research is to study the effect of COVID-19 Pandemic on the relationship between Optimism and Resilience among the university students. Optimism and Resilience of 100 university students (36 males and 64 females) were assessed by using optimism pessimism scale and a brief resilience scale. Digital survey method was adopted to reach out to the university students between 18-23 yrs. of age group and Pearson correlation coefficient method was used to establish the relationship between the variables. As a result, it was found that optimism and resilience share a positive relationship (0.507) not only otherwise but in the challenging times too. Findings revealed that to increase the resilience one has to increase the positive and optimistic thoughts. The research can add value to the detailed study on optimism and its relation with resilience and psychological well-being during unforeseen period. This study also gives further opportunity for a comparative study between the optimism and resilience among different age groups.
