“…Active cognitive processes involved in deciding on specific ways to manage the difficult pandemic situations showed that our participants had highly developed executive functions as evidenced by their ability to process information well, plan their actions, and execute their plans. Similarly, previous research found that planning was negatively related to depression and social dysfunction (Molero Jurado et al, 2021) and positively related to well-being during pandemic (Götmann and Bechtoldt, 2021). As mentioned, our participants sporadically reported symptoms of depression, rather, they maintained their well-being and stayed active in their communities.…”

“…Finding positive meaning is helpful in COVID times and these strategies bring stable well-being over time ( Kim et al, 2022 ). Positive refocusing and reappraisal are negatively associated with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and social dysfunction ( Molero Jurado et al, 2021 ). This was true for our participants who infrequently reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia.…”

Despite the continuous efforts to understand coping processes, very little is known about the utilization of best coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we aimed to analyze the coping strategies of individuals who scored high on an adaptive coping questionnaire in order to understand the most adaptive coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. We used consensual qualitative analysis in a team of four researchers and one auditor. The convenience sample from which we identified the high scorers comprised 1,683 participants (67% women, 32.35% men, and 0.65% did not report their gender) with a mean age of 31.02 years (SD = 11.99) ranging between 18 and 77 years old. Based on their scoring in the COPE Inventory, nine participants were selected from the sample with the highest scores in coping skills in at least two out of its 15 subscales. In-depth repeated interviews with six participants for the main analysis were conducted, and three were added to check the data saturation. The results showed that the most adaptive coping strategies used during the COVID-19 pandemic could be categorized into four main domains: self-compassion, compassion to others, compassion from others, and mutual compassion. The most frequently mentioned and the most elaborated upon by our respondents was the domain of self-compassion. The most interesting finding was the emergence of the fourth type of compassion, labeled mutual compassion, which referred to deliberate attempts to take care of oneself and others while suffering together in order to elevate the suffering for both. This kind of compassion might arise in the situations of collective suffering, such as a catastrophe or a pandemic and might have the additional benefit of bringing people closer to each other in difficult times.

“…Aiming to see the differences between the demographic factors and usage of coping strategies, all the studies show that there have been observed patterns between levels of education during the COVID-19 pandemic, showing that "people use different coping strategies depending on their levels of education they possess" (Jurado et al,2021). Specifically, we observed differences in the high university study individuals who used strategies such as planning, rumination, positive reappraisal and using perspectives.…”

As COVID-19 hit worldwide and projected fear and insecurities, the situation became alarming regarding economic issues and psychological comfortability. This research is part of a longitudinal research project conducted by the authors on analysing the presence and implication of psychological and financial concerns in the Albanian population due to the pandemic. This research investigates the relationship between mental and health care in Albanian adults in 2023, mainly focusing on how they monitor their personal and economic well-being concerning their educational levels. The study's methodology consists of using an online survey followed by a crosstabulation analysis. Findings showed no difference in the perceptions of mental health care despite the levels of education; however, there is some significant relationship between the high school level of education and physical health care. When monitoring the economy, there is no significant difference concerning educational levels. There is a clear disposition that all adults, despite their level of education, provide the same importance to the economy. Our research findings highlight a high level of reaction regarding the economy rather than psychological care, which in most cases is stigmatised when mentioned.

Background: While the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, there are significant links between sleep quality, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and cognitive emotion regulation. This research examines how sleep quality affects anxiety and depressive symptoms, as well as the potential of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) to moderate the impact of sleep quality on these symptoms. Methods: The Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (CPSQI), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) were all completed online by students from two colleges in China’s Xizang region. Results: The study included 4325 subjects. The prevalence of poor sleep quality, anxiety symptoms, and depression symptoms was 45.69%, 36.81%, and 51.86%, respectively. We observed significant direct effects on poor sleep and severity of anxiety/depression: c’1 = 0.586 (0. 544–0.628), and c’2 = 0.728 (0.683–0.773). Adaptive CERS only had a mediating effect on the relationship between sleep quality and depression symptoms, with a1b3 = −0.005 (−0.011–−0.001). The link between poor sleep quality and the intensity of anxiety and depression was significantly affected by the indirect effects of maladaptive CERS: effect a2b2 = 0.126 (0.106–0.147), and effect a2b4 = 0.145 (0.123–0.167). Conclusions: Individuals who experience poor sleep quality are more likely to have increased levels of anxiety and depression. However, enhancing sleep quality led to a decrease in anxiety and depression levels. Adaptive CERS did not predict anxiety, but they did predict depression. Multiple maladaptive CERS could increase levels of anxiety and depression. To prevent mental stress, it is crucial to examine sleep problems among college students, understand their cognitive strategies, promote the adoption of adaptive CERS, and reduce the reliance on maladaptive CERS.
