A Comparative Analysis: A Review of a Qualitative Approach and a Quantitative Approach to Examining Stress and Coping for Targets Enduring Workplace Bullying

This study investigated stress experienced by NHS executives and their coping strategies following the development of sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs). Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) transactional model of stress and coping was used to identify a range of stressors and coping strategies deployed by NHS executives to mitigate stress. An inductive qualitative approach was adopted using interview data, aiming to distinguish potentially harmful stressors from benign stressors and to discuss emotion-based and problem-based coping strategies. Finally, the authors strived to make clear recommendations for NHS England to develop leadership capability regarding inter-role conflict and the development of a regional culture of resilience among system-level executives.

Abstract. The coping scales from the Stress and Coping Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (SSKJ 3–8; Lohaus, Eschenbeck, Kohlmann, & Klein-Heßling, 2018 ) are subscales of a theoretically based and empirically validated self-report instrument for assessing, originally in the German language, the five strategies of seeking social support, problem solving, avoidant coping, palliative emotion regulation, and anger-related emotion regulation. The present study examined factorial structure, measurement invariance, and internal consistency across five different language versions: English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian. The original German version was compared to each language version separately. Participants were 5,271 children and adolescents recruited from primary and secondary schools from Germany ( n = 3,177), France ( n = 329), Russia ( n = 378), the Dominican Republic ( n = 243), Ukraine ( n = 437), and several English-speaking countries such as Australia, Great Britain, Ireland, and the USA (English-speaking sample: n = 707). For the five different language versions of the SSKJ 3–8 coping questionnaire, confirmatory factor analyses showed configural as well as metric and partial scalar invariance (French) or partial metric invariance (English, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian). Internal consistency coefficients of the coping scales were also acceptable to good. Significance of the results was discussed with special emphasis on cross-cultural research on individual differences in coping.
