The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the mental health of many individuals and has caused global increases in psychological distress. Research has shown that social support, psychological flexibility, and coping mechanisms are important protective factors against psychological distress. However, recent evidence suggested that psychological flexibility might not be a coping mechanism but could be the mechanisms to determine the type of coping approach an individual will employ during stressful events. In this study, we test a novel theoretical mediation model to identify if, during stressful events (i.e., COVID-19), individuals perceived level of social support directly increases their psychological flexibility; and if the effect of psychological flexibility on psychological distress is mediated by approach and avoidant coping strategies. To test the model, 360 participants completed the following surveys: COVID-19 concerns scale, the multidimensional scale of perceived social support, the comprehensive assessment of acceptance and commitment therapy, and the brief COPE. Results show that most participants report a high level of psychological distress. One novel finding in our study was the mediating role of coping mechanism between psychological flexibility and psychological distress. Our results partially confirm that psychological flexibility might influence the type of coping an individual will employ during stressful events. Within the context of COVID-19, we have shown that social support, psychological flexibility and the types of coping mechanisms individuals employ have an impact on their levels of psychological distress. However, we argue that the proposed model could be applied to other stressful events.

The Impact

Background: Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) are among the most pervasive and serious chronic illnesses. Parents of children with a chronic condition must cope with greater demands and adopt different behaviors in order to lessen the impact on the family structure.Aims and Objectives: This study aims to explore the coping mechanism used by parents of children with CHD.Materials and Methods: This descriptive study included 100 parents of children with CHD selected through non-probability purposive sampling technique. Data were collected by interview and analyzed using descriptive statistics.Result: This study revealed that parents of preschool children used more coping mechanism (mean score 30.53 out of total score 57), followed by parents of adolescence (mean score 30). Parents of first-born children with CHD used less coping mechanism (mean score 28.08). Parents of female children used more coping mechanism (mean score 29.52), fathers of children with CHD used more coping mechanism (mean score 29.78), and parents of operated children used more coping mechanism (mean score 29.11).Conclusion: Parental coping mechanism was found to be affected by age, sex, operative status and birth order of children and also by the sex of parent. These findings strongly indicate the need for proper counseling service to parents so that healthy coping is reinforced.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(4) 2016 75-79

Introduction: Bronchial asthma is a disease that occurs frequently in Indonesia and is reversible and can cause death. The problem that is felt is bouts of shortness of breath when a recurrence occurs. Stress is one of the causes of recurrence. So a positive coping mechanism is needed to prevent relapse. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between the coping mechanisms used and the frequency of recurrence in bronchial asthma patients at M. Noer Pamekasan Hospital, 2018. Methods: This research design uses Non-Experimental Analytic Correlation method with a sample of 39 people and uses Probability Simple Random Sampling technique. The research data were taken using a questionnaire. After the tabulation, the data were analyzed using the Rank Spearman test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that almost half (45.7% or 16 people) had maladaptive coping mechanisms and relapses> 5X / month, and a small proportion (11.4% or 4 people) had adaptive coping mechanisms and relapsed 1-4X / month. From the results of statistical testing, it was found that there was a correlation between coping mechanisms and the frequency of recurrence with a correlation coefficient of 0.430 with a significance level of 0.010. Conclusion: We know that the coping mechanism is closely related to the occurrence of stress and anxiety in a person. Meanwhile, anxiety is one of the causes of recurrence in bronchial asthma patients. So in providing nursing care, you should not forget about health education about coping mechanisms so that patients can manage the stress experienced so that recurrence of bronchial asthma can be avoided.

9575 Background: Cancer patients cope with advanced illness in a variety of ways, including relying on their religious beliefs. Religious coping has been associated with preference for aggressive care near death, yet little is known about how religious and other coping mechanisms effect the use of intensive life-prolonging care at the end-of-life (EOL). We sought to determine how patient coping mechanisms affect the use of intensive life-prolonging EOL care among advanced cancer patients. Methods: The Coping with Cancer Study is a US multi-site, prospective, longitudinal cohort of 345 advanced cancer patients enrolled January, 2003 -August, 2007. The Brief COPE assessed active coping (e.g., problem solving), emotional-support based coping (e.g., getting comfort from others), and behavioral disengagement (e.g., giving up the attempt to cope). The Brief RCOPE assessed positive religious coping (e.g., seeking a strength and guidance from God) and negative religious coping (e.g., believing illness is God's punishment). Patients were followed until death, a median of 122 days after baseline assessment. The main outcome was receipt of intensive life-prolonging care, defined as receipt of ventilation or resuscitation in the last week of life. Results: Greater use of positive religious coping prospectively predicted receipt of intensive life-prolonging care (AOR, 5.43; p<0.001), ventilation (AOR, 4.40; p<0.01), resuscitation (AOR, 5.19; p<0.05), and death in the intensive care unit (AOR, 2.76; p<0.05) in the last week of life, controlling for confounding factors and other examined coping styles. In analyses that adjusted for significant confounding influences, behavioral disengagement was associated with DNR order completion (AOR, 2.80; p<0.01), and prospectively predicted lower rates of intensive life-prolonging care (AOR, 0.20; p<0.05), and ventilation (AOR 0.13, p<0.05). Conclusions: The manner in which patients cope with advanced cancer predicts receipt of intensive life-prolonging care at the EOL. Specifically, positive religious coping predicts the receipt of aggressive medical care near death. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

The Impact

There is a wealth of literature exploring the impact of parenthood on employment. However, this literature largely overlooks the experiences of parents of children with disabilities, for whom combining the care of their child with employment poses considerable challenges. Within the limited literature on these parents, the focus is on primary carers who are predominantly women. Consequently, the implications for fathers' employment experiences of parenting children with disabilities are largely invisible. Based on research with mothers and fathers this paper argues that being the parent of a child with disabilities impacts significantly on the characteristics of both parents' employment and on their experience of employment. This depends on the nature of parents' roles in care and is reflective of broader patterns of gender relationships within the family. Employment decisions take place within an ongoing parental dialogue that reflects broader conceptualisations of gender relations within the family and in the workplace.

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric illness that causes the burden and maladaptive coping mechanism on the family. The burden and maladaptive coping mechanisms have an impact on the quality of family life and the ability of families to care for schizophrenic patients. The purpose of this study was to prove the effect of supportive group therapy on the burden and coping mechanisms in caring for family members who suffer schizophrenia. The design of this research was a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study with control group design. The number of samples was 14 in the treatment group and 15 in the control group with purposive sampling. Variable of burden was measured with the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and the coping mechanism was assessed by using Brief COPE Inventory (BCI). This supportive therapy was performed in 4 sessions with a total of 6 meetings. The results showed that there were significant differences on burden values and coping mechanisms before and after supportive therapy in the treatment group (p-value= 0.000). In the control group, there was a significant difference on the value of burden before and after health counseling (p-value =0.010), but there was no difference of coping mechanism value before and after health counseling (p-value=0.225). There were significant differences on the burden value (p-value=0.002) and coping mechanisms (p-value= 0.001) between treatment and control group. dr Rehatta Hospital is expected to facilitate the formation of peer support group in the psychiatry clinic so mental health in the family can be achieved.

The birth, education and care of a disabled child can negatively affect not only the life and functioning of individual members but also the family as a whole. An important role in assisting and supporting families with disabled children can be played by the community and its social capital, including both formal and informal social networks and the sources of support, the relationships that families have built up. The aim of the research was to find out how the parents of a child with disabilities reflect the importance of the community for their family, with an emphasis on meeting the child's needs. A qualitative research strategy has been used to achieve the goal. The method of data collection was a semi-structured interview. The research file was made up of parents of children with disabilities. The results highlight the importance of an informal social network for the family, which includes a wider family, organizations operating in the third sector to help children with disabilities and their families. One of the most significant obstacles perceived by parents is the poor spatial availability of the organization, which is particularly evident in the rural environment, and also poor awareness of the possibilities of helping and supporting the family. From formal resources, parents particularly perceived the importance of doctors and medical staff.
