The Impact

Abstract This study examined possible effects of COVID-19 on students’ appraisals, coping, and responses to completing advance directives (ADs). We used the transactional model of stress and coping to explore 93 undergraduate students’ responses to an AD assignment completed in an undergraduate course during COVID-19. Students watched a recorded lecture, read content related to ADs, and examined a sample copy of a 5 Wishes document. Students completed an assignment reflecting on reactions to completing ADs. Content analysis of 65 responses indicated almost 10% of students mentioned COVID-19 or the pandemic as a reason to complete ADs. Approximately 18% mentioned their youth and 40% mentioned sudden or serious illness as reasons to complete ADs. Nearly 30% mentioned death anxiety as a reason for being unprepared to complete ADs. Instructors should consider ways to inform and help students process their emotions given contextual factors (e.g. the pandemic) when teaching about ADs.

The Impact

Stress and coping abilities influence the health and work performance of nurses. However, little is known about the combined influence of stress perception and perceived coping adequacy and its impact on the health of nurses. This study examined the relationship between stress, coping, and the combined influences of perceived stress and coping abilities on health and work performance. A valid and reliable questionnaire was completed by 120 nurses in a Midwestern hospital in the USA. In general, the nurses were not healthy: 92% had moderate-to-very high stress levels; 78% slept less than 8 hours of sleep per night; 69% did not exercise regularly; 63% consumed less than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day; and 22% were classified as binge drinkers. When confronted with workplace stress, 70% of nurses reported that they consumed more junk food and 63% reported that they consumed more food than usual as a way of coping. Nurses in the “high stress/poor coping” group had the poorest health outcomes and highest health risk behaviors compared to those in other groups. The combined variables of perceived stress and perceived coping adequacy influenced the health of nurses. Therefore, worksite health promotion programs for nurses should focus equally on stress reduction, stress management, and the development of healthy coping skills.

AbstractThe study aimed to assess baseline stress and coping mechanisms among caregivers of children with RASopathies (i.e., cardiofaciocutaneous and Costello's syndrome) and the impact of attending biennial caregiver conferences. Caregivers completed the Perceived Stress Scale, Coping Health Inventory for Parents, and demographic surveys prior to family conferences, and 1- and 6-month postconferences. Baseline stress was increased and associated with child age, parental age, and number of conferences attended. After 1 month, caregiver stress was lowered among men and caregivers attending ≥2 support conferences.
