Deluge, Pain, Agony, and Survival: Decoding Disaster’s Adversities

This article aimed to explore the experiences of deluge victims in Iligan City following Typhoon Sending using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 participants, and the data were analyzed using IPA. The study found that the flood had a significant psychological and emotional impact on the participants, with several key themes and patterns emerging from the IPA analysis. These included the impact on emotional well-being, coping strategies, and patterns of adaptation and adjustment among Iligan City’s Sending Survivors. The coping strategies employed by the participants highlighted the importance of social support and community engagement in disaster recovery. The patterns of adaptation and adjustment observed among the participants suggest the potential for personal growth and development following a traumatic event. The study has implications for practitioners and policymakers involved in disaster response and recovery, and highlights the need for continued research and support for individuals and communities affected by natural disasters.

Phoenix rising: Rebounding to venture again post firm-failure

Despite extant literature on a failed firm owner's coping, learning, and emotional functioning, very little is known about how once bankrupted B2B entrepreneurs rebound to venture again and develop capabilities like antifragility. Drawing on antifragility as a lens, we explore how UK B2B firm owners bounce back from bankruptcy and external crises to pursue successful ventures. Empirically, we examine the retrospective accounts of 20 formerly bankrupted UK-based entrepreneurs who overcame their adversity to venture again. Our study suggests that emotional and reflective coping strategies are key to developing the business owners' internal attributional style towards their failure, which in turn help them to cultivate what we term antifragility as an ‘entrepreneurial competence’. This capability prompts long-term learning behaviours which generate deep insights into exploring and exploiting opportunities and limits otherwise overlooked by others to restart a new venture. Emphasizing the role of dealing with emotions associated with failure and coping with uncertainties, our study provides nuanced insight into how once bankrupted B2B entrepreneurs overcome a firm demise to rebound to venture again and learn in the long-term. Implications for entrepreneurial re-entry post-failure are explored.

The Meaning of Online Social Work Education for Students and Faculty during COVID-19: Between Preservation and Change

Abstract Academic online social work (SW) education has developed over the decades, fully transitioning to it following the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies have examined the emotional responses, coping strategies and resilience of faculty and students to this transition. Our aim is to examine online education experiences and their meaning for faculty and SW students following the COVID-19 pandemic. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed based on principles of thematic analysis. Interviewees included fifteen SW students and fifteen faculty members at schools of SW (n = 30) from universities and colleges throughout Israel, who also participated in a quantitative survey addressing online SW education. Findings include two themes: (i) Between the illusion of intimacy and the illusion of anonymity: Is it so? (ii) Experiences of difficulty, acceptance and choice relating to online education interactions. Both themes refer to interpersonal dimensions of communication and contact between faculty and students and among students. The desire to preserve a traditional education format versus openness to the online platform is discussed using critical reflexivity. Alternative education programmes combining the two should be developed. The unique and deceptive interplay between intimacy and anonymity in the online space should be considered in courses relying on interpersonal interaction and self-disclosure.

Is the digital security act 2018 sufficient to avoid cyberbullying in Bangladesh? A quantitative study on young women from generation-z of Dhaka city

PurposeCyberbullying has yet to be thoroughly investigated from the perspective of Gen-Z women, and it is vital to determine how this law influences these young women to avoid cyberbullying. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to fill a knowledge vacuum by confirming the technology threat avoidance theory utilizing both adaptive (avoidance motivation) and maladaptive (wishful thinking) approaches. Design/methodology/approachTo gather data from Gen-Z women in Dhaka, we employed a purposive sampling strategy, which yielded 252 valid replies. After that, there were three steps to the evaluation: a measuring model, a structural model, and a mediation analysis. FindingsSeven out of ten hypotheses were found to be significant, with variances of 73.4% and 10.5% for avoidance motivation and wishful thinking, respectively. Furthermore, rather than having a direct influence on coping approaches, the perceived threat had an indirect effect through the mediation effect of perceived avoidability. Practical implicationsThis study takes into account Gen-Z women's motivation to be protected from cyberbullying, paving the way for the passage of the digital security act 2018. The data also reveal how to teach these young ladies about the threats of cyberbullying and how to defend themselves. Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies to look at the factors that influence Gen-Z women's motivation to use the digital security act 2018 to address cyberbullying. In addition, wishful thinking has been newly included as an emotional coping strategy in this context, along with the present avoidance motivation of TTAT.

Wellbeing of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) Personnel in a Challenging Work Context: A Qualitative Study

Introduction:Helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) personnel provide on-scene trauma care to patients with high mortality risk. The HEMS work context is characterized by an exceptionally high exposure to critical incidents, emotionally demanding patient encounters, and having to perform under pressure with limited resources. The aim of this study was to further our understanding of the factors underlying HEMS personnel wellbeing given their challenging work context.Method:Sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with HEMS personnel from a University Hospital in The Netherlands. Interview topics included work context, personal characteristics, coping, work engagement, and psychosocial support. To analyze the data, a generic qualitative research approach was used inspired by grounded theory, including open, axial and selective coding.Results:The analysis revealed ten categories that provide insight into factors underlying the wellbeing of HEMS personnel and their work context: team and collaboration, coping, procedures, informal peer support, organizational support and follow-up care, drives and motivations, attitudes, other stressors, potentially traumatic events, and emotional impact. The findings show that HEMS personnel are highly motivated and have a strong team mentality. Various factors are important to their wellbeing, such as job resources and social support. The HEMS work can have an emotional impact but HEMS personnel use various coping strategies to deal with this. The perceived need for organizational support and follow-up care is low among participants.Conclusion:This study identifies factors and strategies that support the wellbeing of HEMS personnel. It also provides insight into the HEMS work culture and help-seeking behavior in this population. The findings may be beneficial to understand and support employee wellbeing in other emergency services work contexts as well.

Parenting stress and coping strategies in mothers with children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

The aim of this research was to study the relationship between parenting stress and coping strategies of mothers of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The sample consisted of 143 mothers with a child who had been diagnosed with ADHD. The mothers completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CAE) and the Parenting Stress Index Short Form (PSI-SF). The results showed that mothers experienced high levels of stress and they tended to use coping strategies focused on problem solving. Meaningful differences were found between parenting stress and coping strategies according to sociodemographic characteristics. Negative correlations between parenting stress and coping strategies showed that coping strategies focused on problem solving were associated with lower levels of stress. Besides, positive correlations between parenting stress and coping strategies showed that higher levels of emotional coping strategies were associated with higher levels of parenting stress.

Brief COPE Short Version (Mini-COPE): A Proposal of Item and Factorial Reduction in Mexican Population.

The factorial reduction of Brief COPE has not been successfully replicated by independent studies, and few have been performed in Spanish-speaking populations; therefore, the objective of this study was to perform a factorial reduction of the instrument in a large sample of the Mexican population and perform a convergent and divergent validity of the factors obtained. We distributed a questionnaire via social networks with sociodemographic and psychological variables, including the Brief COPE and the scales of the CPSS, GAD-7, and CES-D to measure stress, anxiety, and depression. A total of 1283 persons were included, most of whom (64.8%) were women and had a bachelor's degree (55.2%). After performing the exploratory factorial analysis, we did not find a model with an adequate fit and a reduced number of factors; therefore, we decided to reduce the number of items according to the most representative ones of adaptive, maladaptive, and emotional coping strategies. The resulting model with three factors showed good fit parameters and good internal consistency of the factors. In addition, the nature and naming of the factors were confirmed by convergent and divergent validity, with significant negative correlations between factor 1 (active/adaptive) and stress, depression, and anxiety, significant positive correlations between factor 2 (avoidant/maladaptive) and these three variables, and no significant correlation between factor 3 (emotional/neutral) and stress or depression. This shortened version of the brief COPE (Mini-COPE) is a good option to evaluate adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies in Spanish-speaking populations.

399 The development of a digital game to prevent suicide in youth who misuse substances

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Suicide is the second leading cause of death in teens. Substance misuse, including opioids, is a risk factor for suicidal thoughts and behaviors among teens. School-based approaches are promising, yet they lack evidence on their effectiveness. To fill this gap, we created supportED, a digital game to prevent suicide in youth who misuse substances. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We conducted focus groups and interviews to inform the development of the digital game and discuss approaches to enhance user experiences, acceptability, and feasibility of the intervention. A semi-structured focus group/interview guide was developed, pilot tested, and used in focus groups/interviews. The guides aligned with constructs from a safety planning intervention, a well-recognized, evidence-based suicide prevention intervention, to identify potential warning signs of emotional distress, coping strategies, and resources for seeking help to prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Focus groups/interviews were led by a facilitator, who is also a certified school counselor and licensed professional counselor, and a co-facilitator who took field notes and provided debrief summaries. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A total of 35 participants, including 10 high-school-aged teens [aged 16-19], 10 college-aged youth [aged 18-22], 10 school-based providers, and five interviews with adults who had experience with opioids in their youth informed the development stage. Of the focus group participants, 25.7% identify as female (n=23), 71.4% identify as male (n=6), and 2.9% do not identify as male or female (n=1); 60% identify as White (n=18), 20% identify as multi-racial (n=6), 10% identify as Black (n=3), 3.3% identify as Asian (n=1), and 6.7% identify as race unknown (n=2); and, 37.1% (n=13) identify as Hispanic/Latinx. Salient themes that emerged focused on opioids, substance misuse, mental health, bullying, grief, family, identity, and stigma to create six distinct narratives in the digital game. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Findings informed the development of a digital game to prevent suicide among adolescents who misuse substances. The digital game is currently being evaluated in a pilot RCT to assess the preliminary efficacy of the intervention, user experience, usability, and feasibility of delivering the intervention and protocols among 60 youth.

Clinical Placement Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic: An Exploration of Nursing Students' Emotional Experiences and Response Strategies

The nursing education and clinical placement programs, along with healthcare systems globally, have been substantially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This study explores the emotional experiences and response strategies of nursing students during clinical placement amidst the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Fourteen nursing students in their final year participated in the study. The study identified two main themes and associated subthemes: emotional responses (including fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and confidence) and coping strategies (including maintaining physical health, adhering to safety protocols, maintaining a positive outlook, nurturing spiritual well-being, and building self-confidence). The emotional responses highlight the challenges faced by nursing students during clinical placement, particularly fear and anxiety about contracting the virus, uncertainty, and confusion. However, some students also felt confident in their ability to navigate the challenges of clinical placement and had a sense of duty and purpose in serving their patients during the pandemic. Coping strategies employed by nursing students included maintaining physical health, adhering to safety protocols, maintaining a positive outlook, nurturing spiritual well-being, and building self-confidence. The study underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing the emotional impact of the pandemic on nursing students and the need for effective support mechanisms to help them cope with the challenges of clinical practice. Educational programs that promote mental health and well-being and practical training on infection control and safety protocols can help nursing students cope with the challenges of clinical placement during pandemics.

Factors Associated with Negative Emotional Responses and Maladaptive Coping Strategies to Cyberbullying Among Young People in Southernmost Thailand

Background: Cyberbullying generates unfavorable feelings and behaviors among young people. Factors associated with emotional responses and coping strategies for cyberbullying need to be assessed. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the factors associated with negative emotional responses and maladaptive coping strategies in response to cyberbullying among young people aged 13 - 24. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were used for data collection across eight secondary schools and two universities in Pattani province, Thailand. A total of 227 students who experienced cyberbullying were included in this study. Results: Students whose fathers had a bachelor's degree or higher, those whose fathers were farmers, merchants, or laborers, had a middle-class family income, and students experiencing high social stress had higher negative emotional responses to cyberbullying. Young people with fathers having bachelor's degrees or higher, having a low family income, and having low or moderate social support had more maladaptive coping strategies for cyberbullying. Conclusions: Attention should be paid to developing effective ways to reduce negative emotions and bad coping skills in these groups of students.

The need and opportunities for developing emotional intelligence in education

Emotional intelligence directly influences teacher performance as one of the indicators of successful teaching evaluation. In a comprehensive meta-analysis, Martins, Ramalho, and Morin (2010) showed that emotional intelligence is clearly, strongly, and unequivocally related to mental and physical health. They examined emotional intelligence in relation to school performance. It was shown that emotional intelligence has organisational, clinical, health, educational and social implications. Another question of great interest and importance is whether emotional intelligence can be developed. Recent evidence from Di Fabio and Kenny (2011) suggests that specific training may have significant benefits. We need to know more about what type of training is needed and why (Di Fabio & Kenny, 2011).
 In this publication we seek answers to the following questions:
 - Can emotional intelligence be developed in education?
 - If it can be developed, how?
 - Is there a link between emotional intelligence and empathy?
 - What are the links between emotional intelligence and coping strategies?
 It is assumed that emotional intelligence can be learned. From birth, children are able to decode the feelings of others, express their own emotional state, delay or even control their emotions, i.e. they learn to "manage their emotions" (Kádár, A., 2012). Therefore, it is important that teacher education institutions and teacher training should place more emphasis on the development of emotional intelligence. This development is necessary for two reasons. Firstly, as our research has shown, the number of teachers who become emotionally weak, putting their own and their students' mental health at risk, increases in proportion to the length of time in the profession. On the other hand, their relational skills suggest that the majority of these teachers are capable of effective interpersonal relationships, as they are well-intentioned, willing to care about others, and even their strong desire to conform is underpinned by a desire to maintain good social relationships (Baracsi, 2011).

Coping Mechanism for Fathers’ Well-being

The COVID-19 pandemic affecting Malaysia and the world presents various challenges, pressures and negative impacts on various groups, including among fathers. Some fathers have lost their source of income, face pressures of working from home, managing their children and losing loved ones. This has affected their mental health and led to the erosion of the family institution in Malaysia. In addition, issues such as divorce, domestic violence and child abuse are at worrying levels. Therefore, this study sought to identify the level of stress among fathers during the COVID-19 pandemic, their main coping strategies, and the relationship between stress and coping strategies. This quantitative study employs a survey design involving 120 fathers in a district in Negeri Sembilan. Descriptive and inferential data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. This study found that the stress level among the participant was at a moderate level. Meanwhile, the emotional coping strategy (mean 29.3) represents an option used by them in adapting to problems faced during the pandemic. A significant negative relationship was found between stress coping strategies in the father group [(p=0.001 <0.05).]. It is hoped that this study will aid fathers in choosing a coping strategy to face the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as provide guidance for relevant authorities in formulating plans aimed at promoting the wellbeing of families in Malaysia.

The specific psychosocial modulator factors of emotional adjustment in infertile individuals compared to fertile people

Certain psychological and social factors modulate emotional adjustment in infertility. The aims of this study were: analyse whether there are sex and group differences (infertile vs. fertile) in emotional adjustment, and personality, dispositional optimism, coping strategies, personal and interpersonal resources; observe the modulating role of these psychosocial variables in the emotional adjustment of infertile individuals compared to fertile ones; and determine if the modulator variables associated with emotional adjustment are specific to infertile people. Method: A cross-sectional study design was used with a sample of 139 heterosexual Spanish participants (84 infertile, 55 fertile). For the data analysis we performed correlations, multiple regression analysis, MANOVAS and ANOVAS. Results: The multivariate and univariate analyses showed that the infertile group exhibited greater emotional maladjustment, more personal resources, lesser degree of confrontive coping, social support seeking, positive reappraisal, and lower marital satisfaction than the fertile group. In addition, women (infertile and fertile) sought more social support seeking and the infertile ones made more use of self-controlling strategies. Multiple regression analyses showed that for all subjects the emotional adjustment was modulated by dispositional optimism and escape/avoidance. For infertile participants, the remaining significant modulating factors were personal resources and marital satisfaction, whereas, for the fertile group, they were openness and interpersonal resources. Conclusion: Infertile women and men showed no differences in emotional maladjustment, but levels were higher than in the fertile group. We found differences between infertile and fertile subjects in terms of modulating variables of emotional adjustment. For infertile participants, the development of personal resources and increased marital satisfaction are particularly important.

Neurocognitive profile of a cohort of SMA type 1 pediatric patients and emotional aspects, resilience and coping strategies of their caregivers.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1 represents the most severe condition of the spectrum of SMA 5q. In the absence of therapeutic interventions, patients do not achieve any motor milestone and their life expectancy does not exceed two years of age. To date, three disease-modifying drugs have been approved for SMA type I. These treatments have radically changed the natural history of the disease, improving motor, respiratory and bulbar functions. In recent years huge amount of data have been collected worldwide related to motor, respiratory and swallowing function outcome in treated patients, whereas the neurocognitive profile of treated patients has been poorly explored. Here we report the neurocognitive development profile of a cohort of SMA type I children treated with a disease modifying therapy. We also describe the burden and resilience as well as the coping strategies of their caregivers. Our finding show a global developmental delay in most patients and defects in gross motor functions contribute most to lower the general development quotient of Griffiths III, whereas the scores obtained on evaluating learning and language abilities scales suggest a positive trend in the developmental trajectory of general neurocognitive abilities. Some parents reported anxiety and stress but overall they were resilient (and had good coping strategies towards the burden of care for their child. These results reinforce the importance of routinely assessing the neurocognitive aspects in SMA type I patients and to offer an early intervention to favor the psychosocial development of these children.

Exploring the Relationship Between Psychological Capital and Turnover Among New Nurses

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed the health care work environment and exacerbated workplace demands and stress. New graduate nurses (NGNs) transitioning into their first registered nurse role were not exempt. Little is known about the emotional well-being of NGNs during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we share NGN psychological capital (PsyCap) trends from 2019 to 2022 and explore the relationship between NGN PsyCap and turnover. Organizational, leadership, and individual implications for practice are discussed. Findings from this study can help health care leaders tailor emotional development and coping strategies for this important segment of the nursing workforce.

The Role of Emotional Skills (Competence) and Coping Strategies in Adolescent Depression.

Depression is a state of low mood that can lead to several negative outcomes on thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and even physical state. With that in mind, it is important to detect individuals at risk of developing depressive symptoms early and identify protective factors. During the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents emerged as one of the most vulnerable groups, with deteriorated anxiety and depression due to imposed social isolation, reduced social activities, and concerns over household status, health, and peer support. Distance learning through public service broadcasts and online tools lasted for several months, posing the need for adjustment. This study aimed to assess emotional competence and coping styles as predictors of depression in a sample of adolescents. The study was conducted in-person on a sample of 142 high school students. A high percentage of participants reported above-average levels of depression (21.1% severely depressed). On average, girls reported higher levels of depression than boys (t = 3.86, p < 0.01). Gender differences were also found in emotion-focused coping and avoidance, with girls scoring higher on both (p < 0.05). However, there were no gender differences in problem-focused coping or emotional competence. Hierarchical regression analysis concluded that perceiving and understanding emotions, expressing and naming emotions, regulating emotions, and avoidance were significant predictors of depression. This regression model explained 53% of depression variance, with the regulation of emotions being the most powerful predictor (p < 0.01). No mediating effect of coping styles on the relationship between emotional competence and depression was found in this study.

The results revealed that majority of teachers were experiencing higher level of occupational stress. The stressors of teachers were sorted as work-related distress, professional growth, managing their work within given time, inadequate salary, emotional and fatigue manifestations were more obvious for teachers. Teachers were found to use dysfunctional and emotional coping strategies most often. The study concluded that overall working conditions of private school teachers were observed challenging. There is immense need to promote healthy working environment for better performance of teachers and ultimately resulting in succeeding and advancing educational organizations.

The Relationship between Emotional Reactions and Coping Strategies of Nurses during the Outbreak of COVID-19 in Ganjavian Hospital in Dezful in 2020

Background: Nurses face challenges when they are in a stressful situation and therefore use strategies to adapt. Objective: Considering the importance of the type of strategy used by nurses to maintain their mental health and considering the differences in the results of studies on the applicability of coping strategies, the present study investigates the emotional reactions and coping strategies of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study involving 208 nurses working in Ganjavian Hospital in Dezful in 2020. The instruments used in the questionnaire are: emotional reactions, demographic and coping style questionnaire preference for modified coping practices. Results: The results showed that the mean age of nurses participating in the study was 31.15±7.25 years. Most emotional reactions were related to nurses' feelings of desire with an average of 3.44 ±1. 23 and the lowest related to disgust with a mean of 2.44 ±1.26. The highest coping actions of nurses were related to nurses' emotional coping strategy with a mean of 26.87 ± 4.5. There was a significant relationship between problem-solving coping strategies with emotional disgust and direct anxiety. Conclusion: Due to the high level of hope and anxiety in nurses and the adoption of coping strategies focused on emotion, hospital managers and mental health managers should focus on providing psychological support to nurses and teaching problem-oriented coping strategies. They should also encourage the nurses to deal with their high level of hope for the high anxiety caused by Covid disease.
