“…In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Zacher and Rudolph (2021b) reported positive relations between active coping and positive cognitive restructuring with regard to life satisfaction and negative relations between planning and life satisfaction. The use of social support was related to an increase in life satisfaction (for instrumental support) in addition to higher levels of positive affect and lower levels of negative affect (for emotional support), but also higher levels of negative affect (for instrumental support; Zacher and Rudolph, 2021b), and showed low levels of wellbeing (Kavčič et al, 2022), supporting the notion of social support as "double-edge sword" (Carver et al, 1989;Revenson et al, 1991). Avoidant coping strategies were positively related with higher negative affect (Zacher and Rudolph, 2021b), depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress (Agha, 2021;Minahan et al, 2021;Kavčič et al, 2022).…”

“…Mediation analyses: Do coping strategies mediate the relationships between individual and organizational soldier student factors and loneliness, life satisfaction, and COVID-19 stress? Expected relations between personality and organizational predictors and coping strategies (for personality see Connor-Smith and Flachsbart, 2007;Agbaria and Mokh, 2021; for organizational predictors see Srivastava and Tang, 2015;Portero de la Cruz et al, 2020;Rojas et al, 2022) are presented in Table 1 along with expected relations between coping strategies and psychological health outcomes (Deckx et al, 2018;Gori et al, 2020;Minahan et al, 2021;Zacher and Rudolph, 2021b;Kavčič et al, 2022). The respective expected indirect effects can be obtained by multiplying the two direct effects (i.e., two positive and two negative direct effects yield a positive indirect effect, one positive and one negative direct effect yield a negative indirect effect, and if at least one direct effect is zero, the indirect effect will be zero).…”

Individual and Organizational Factors in Coping With COVID-19 in Soldier Students

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant burden across different industrial sectors. Generally, an increase in psychological stress experiences has been reported, while the stress and coping responses of specific, potentially burdened populations have received less attention thus far. Thus, the present study investigated relations between individual (i.e., extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness) and organizational (i.e., organizational commitment and study satisfaction) factors, indicators of psychological health (i.e., loneliness, life satisfaction, COVID-19-related stress), and possible mediating effects of four broad coping dimensions (active coping, avoidant coping, social support, positive cognitive restructuring) in a specific sample of soldier students who engage in a double-role being military affiliates and students of non-military subjects. To this end, we assessed data of soldier students at two measurement points (N = 106 at t1 and N = 63 at t2) shortly after the second national lockdown in Germany (20. May 2021 to 11. July 2021) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Personality traits showed expected associations with indicators of psychological health, i.e., positive relations between neuroticism and social loneliness, between extraversion and COVID-19 stress, and negative relations between neuroticism and life satisfaction. Remarkably, organizational variables showed effects above and beyond personality traits on loneliness and life satisfaction. Neither individual, nor organizational factors could predict change in psychological health over time. We found evidence for mediation effects through active coping, avoidant coping, and the use of social support, but not through positive cognitive restructuring. Findings highlight the relative importance of organizational factors besides personality traits for psychological health in a military student sample, holding important implications for designing efficient support systems in the military.

“…In contrast, planning, a primary coping strategy, appeared to be detrimental during the early days of the pandemic. 2 In another study that investigated coping strategies during the first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak in Slovenia, 17 researchers identified three types of coping profiles: engaged profile (high levels of problem-focused coping, acceptance, and positive reframing), disengaged profile (low levels of problem-focused coping, acceptance, and social support), and avoidant profile (substance use, self-blame, and humor). Engaged coping, which is a combination of primary and secondary coping in our model, was associated with lower levels of anxiety.…”

Background/Purpose In the context of COVID-19 lockdowns, extant research suggests that secondary coping (a strategy aimed at adjusting oneself self to the stressor) is more robustly associated with better mental health than primary coping (a strategy aimed at adjusting the stressor to oneself). We investigated whether these findings are generalizable to Spain—one of the most severely affected countries at that time. We also tested whether the link between secondary coping and mental health (as measured by anxiety) can be accounted for by how individuals perceive the COVID-19 impact (ie, perceived life changes and personal global impact) and how frequently they use traditional and social media to check COVID-19-related information. Methods A diverse community sample (N = 408), collected during the first lockdown in Spain (early April 2020), completed a multi-measure online survey including the targeted variables. Results Secondary coping outperformed primary coping in predicting reduced anxiety during the lockdown in Spain. Moreover, lower perceived life changes from COVID-19 and reduced personal global impact from COVID-19 both mediated the negative secondary coping-anxiety relationship. No indirect effects emerged for either conventional or social media exposure. Conclusion These results (a) strengthen the cross-cultural validity of the link between secondary coping and anxiety and (b) advance our understanding of the psychological mechanisms underlying this association.

“…Penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya mengelompokkan strategi koping ke dalam dua kategori yakni strategi koping berfokus pada emosi (emotion focused coping) dan strategi koping berfokus pada masalah (problem focused coping). Penelitian lainnya menjelaskan konstruk strategi koping ke dalam kategori avoidant coping, approach coping, dan humor/religious coping (Awoke et al, 2021) atau konstruk strategi koping ke dalam selfsufficient, avoidant-coping, dan socially supported (Litman, 2006), ataupun engaged coping, disengaged coping, dan avoidant coping (Kavčič et al, 2022). Penggunaan strategi koping bergantung pada kondisi yang dihadapi oleh individu dan memungkinkan bagi individu untuk menggunakan kombinasi dari strategi koping yang dihadapi.…”

“…14 jenis strategi koping menurut (Carver, 1997) digunakan untuk menggambarkan jenis strategi koping mahasiswa dan dikaji pengaruhnya terhadap stres pada mahasiswa. Skala ini juga digunakan pada penelitian sebelumnya untuk menggambarkan profil strategi koping mahasiswa (Awoke et al, 2021;Kavčič et al, 2022;Kumanova & Karastoyanov, 2013;Nursadrina & Andriani, 2020). Harapannya, penelitian ini dapat memberikan gambaran strategi koping yang lebih mendetail pada mahasiswa.…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kondisi kesehatan mental mahasiswa melalui desain penelitian cross-sectional survey. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini menggunakan open-ended questionnaire, perceived stress scale-10 (PSS-10), dan the Brief COPE Questionnaire. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa: 1) permasalahan kehidupan kampus, perasaan dan pikiran negatif, serta permasalahan relasi merupakan situasi sulit yang dihadapi oleh mahasiswa; 2) sebanyak 50.45% mahasiswa mengalami stres pada kategori sedang, 45.05% mengalami stres pada kategori tinggi, dan 4.5% mengalami stres pada kategori rendah; 3) strategi koping dapat memprediksi stres secara signifikan [F(14,96)=5.781; p<0.001]; dan 4) strategi koping jenis positive reframing dan active coping dapat memprediksi penurunan stres, sedangkan strategi koping jenis self-blame dan self-distraction dapat memprediksi peningkatan stres
