Religious coping and suicidal ideation as a predictive model for suicide attempts

Background and objective: Religious coping can help understanding suicide in its prevention and intervention. The objective of this study was to investigate if religious coping and suicidal ideation could be used as a predictive model for suicide attempts.Methods: This is a survey and correlational delineation, carried out in southern Brazil with 260 adults assisted by the a public mental health service in two cities in northern Paraná from October 2020 to June 2021. For data collection, three instruments were used: The first one was a sociodemographic/clinical questionnaire to profile the participants; The second instrument was composed of 30 items dealing with impulsivity manifestations. The third instrument was used because it addresses coping and how people deal with everyday adversity through faith. Logistic regression analysis was used, through the SPSS®, v. 28. The dichotomous outcome variable was the suicide attempt, and the independent variables were a negative domain of the RCOPE scale. At first, three regression models were considered. A greater adherence happened only when the nominal variable “Have you ever tried to commit suicide?” qualified as an outcome variable.Results: The suicide attempt as an outcome and the other variables performing as predictive represented a higher sensitivity (96.8%) compared to the previous models. As the negative coping score was increased by 1 unit, there was also an increase in the chances of suicide attempting by 1.83 times (95% CI 1.11;3.00).Conclusions: It was discussed that religiosity has a positive impact on suicidal behavior, as it provides well-being/happiness, especially for those with mental disorders. This study would contribute to understanding the role and effects of religious coping in the process of counseling by healthcare workers. It is the first study to present predictive modelling for suicide attempt from negative religious coping. Hopefully, it would contribute to improve the process of counseling by mental health nurses and other healthcare workers.

Putting PhD students front and center: an empirical analysis using the Effort-Reward Imbalance Model.

A doctorate is associated with numerous challenges for many PhD students, including financial insecurities, little support from supervisors, and time pressure. The present study explores well-being of PhD students via the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model as well as the potential protective factor resilience. A web-based questionnaire survey was conducted among 1,275 PhD students from Germany. Data was collected at two measurement points over a six-week follow-up period. As hypothesized, overcommitment was found to mediate the relationship between ERI and perceived stress while no mediation effect was found for work engagement. Resilience strengthened the relationship between ERI and overcommitment, especially for an increasing unfavorable ERI, and counterintuitively did not act as a protective factor. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, providing a deeper understanding on the ERI model and the negative coping pattern overcommitment in the context of PhD students.

Sexual orientation-based microaggressions and cannabis use outcomes among sexual minority individuals: The impact of negative affect and coping-motivated cannabis use

IntroductionSexual minority individuals report significantly more cannabis use and problems than their heterosexual peers, possibly due to their frequent experiences with sexual orientation-based microaggressions. As a result, sexual minority individuals may turn to cannabis use to cope with the negative affect associated with these experiences. No known studies have tested this hypothesis; therefore, the current study tested if sexual orientation microaggressions are positively associated with negative affect (anxiety and depression), cannabis coping motives, and cannabis-related outcomes (frequency, problems); if coping motives are positively associated with cannabis-related outcomes; and if negative affect and cannabis use to cope with negative affect serially mediate the relation between sexual orientation microaggressions and cannabis-related outcomes. MethodsSexual minority undergraduate students who reported cannabis use in the past three months (N = 328; 71.3 % cis-female) completed an online survey. ResultsMicroaggressions were significantly positively correlated with anxiety, depression, coping-motivated cannabis use, cannabis-related problems, non-sexual orientation-related stress, and overt sexual orientation-based discrimination. Additionally, after controlling for non-sexual orientation-related stress and overt sexual orientation-based discrimination, microaggressions were indirectly positively related to cannabis use frequency and problems via the sequential effects of negative affect and coping motives. This relation remained significant when examining negative affect specific to sexual orientation microaggressions and cannabis use to cope with this microaggressions-specific negative affect. ConclusionsResults highlight the adverse impact of sexual orientation microaggressions in terms of negative affect and negative cannabis-related outcomes.

Analysis of influencing factors of anxiety and depression in patients with periodontitis.

Periodontitis is a chronic oral disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms that corrode tooth tissue, form periodontal pockets, absorb alveolar bone, and finally lead to tooth loss. During treatment, patients are prone to anxiety, tension, and other negative emotions, which affect their ability to face the disease and may also lead to aggravation of the original condition and affect oral health. Therefore, it is important to improve the negative psychology of patients with periodontitis to clarify the factors that may lead to negative psychological emotions. To investigate the risk factors that may lead to anxiety and depression in patients with periodontitis. One hundred patients with periodontitis were selected between March 2022 and March 2023 at our hospital. All patients were assessed with the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) (≥ 53 points indicate a depressive state) and Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) (≥ 50 points indicates an anxious state). In this study, patients who experienced anxiety or depression were included in the occurrence group and those without anxiety or depression were included in the non-occurrence group. The baseline data of the two groups were compared to explore the risk factors for anxiety and depression in patients with periodontitis. A total of 100 patients with periodontitis were included in this study. According to the SDS, 38 patients (38.00%) developed depression, with an average SDS score of (68.52 ± 5.85) points. According to the SAS, 40 patients (40.00%) developed anxiety, and the average SAS score was (72.15 ± 4.15) points. In this study, 56 patients with anxiety or depression were included. Compared with the non-occurrence group, the occurrence group had higher ages (≥ 60 years), lower level of hope (low level), educational level (high school or below), disease perception (poor), and sleep disorder (yes). The negative coping dimension scores of the simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ) and Dental Fear Scale (DFS) in the occurrence group were higher, whereas the score of the positive coping dimension of the SCSQ was significantly lower (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the other data between the groups (P > 0.05). The results of multiple logistics regression analysis showed that age (≥ 60 years), level of hope (low level), educational level (high school or below), disease perception (poor), sleep disorder (yes), high negative coping dimension scores of SCSQ, high score of DFS, and low positive coping dimension scores of SCSQ were all factors contributing to the anxiety and depression in patients with periodontitis (odds ratio > 1, P < 0.05). Age, hope level, educational level, disease perception, sleep disorders, coping style, and dental fear were all associated with anxiety and depression in patients with periodontitis.

Exploring relationship satisfaction in mothers of children with disabilities: the predictive role of interparental conflicts and moderating role of dyadic coping.

Parenting responsibilities, while a source of happiness, often lead to considerable stress for parents of children with disabilities. While most parents try to cope with these challenges together, some level of interparental conflict is almost inevitable. Frequently assuming primary responsibility for children with disabilities, mothers can be substantially impacted by interparental conflict with their partners and the resulting stress. However, implementing dyadic coping strategies in managing stressful situations serves as a buffer against adverse effects, while also enhancing relationship satisfaction. This study aimed to explore the relationship between interparental conflicts, dyadic coping, and relationship satisfaction among 232 mothers of children with disabilities in Croatia who were in an intimate relationship and shared a household with their partners, regardless of marital status. We analysed a non-probabilistic sample of women in Croatia who reported being in an intimate relationship, sharing a household with a partner (whether married or simply cohabitating) and being a mother to a child with a diagnosed developmental disability. Participants completed questionnaires online in March of 2021 (sociodemographic variables, the Parent Problem Checklist, the Dyadic Coping Inventory and the Marriage Quality Index). Results of hierarchical multiple regression show that mothers' perceptions of how they help their partner cope with stress do not predict how satisfied they are in a relationship; instead, relationship satisfaction depends on their perceptions of how their partner helps them and how they cope with stress as a team. Furthermore, moderation analysis revealed the effect of interparental conflicts were entirely mitigated by high supportive and low negative dyadic coping of the partner. When mothers felt adequately supported by their partner, the negative impact of stress caused by interparental conflicts did not spill over into their relationship. Our results suggest that by recognizing the importance of psychological support and couples therapy in strengthening dyadic coping, government and non-profit initiatives can effectively empower parents of children with disabilities, fostering healthier and more resilient family dynamics that promotes the well-being of parents and their children.

Associations between dyadic communication and dyadic coping of patients with cervical cancer and their spouses: a study utilizing the actor-partner interdependence model.

There is a growing focus on exploring dyadic interactions and outcomes between couples undergoing cervical cancer (CC). The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to figure out how dyadic communication influences both CC patients' and spouses' coping abilities. A sample of 286 CC dyads completed questionnaires assessing dyadic communication and dyadic coping. The actor-partner interdependence model was used to analyze the interaction effect between the dyads. Dyadic communication among cervical cancer (CC) patients has a predictive effect on their own negative dyadic coping (β = - 0.141, P = 0.034) and on their spouses' delegated dyadic coping (β = 0.133, P = 0.044). In contrast, dyadic communication among CC spouses is negatively associated with their own supportive dyadic coping (β = - 0.237, P < 0.001), delegated dyadic coping (β = - 0.156, P = 0.018), common dyadic coping (β = - 0.148, P = 0.026) and also with CC patients' supportive dyadic coping (β = - 0.153, P = 0.022). Dyadic communication between CC patients and their spouses affect their own and each other's dyadic coping. Exploring interventions focused on the CC couples' communication strategies to enhance their positive dyadic coping should be considered.

Psychological effects of trauma, negative and positive coping, resilience, and psychological distress among Chinese healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic

BackgroundLimited data are available on risk (psychological effects of trauma, negative coping) and protective (resilience, positive coping) factors for psychological distress among Chinese healthcare workers (HCWs) during the pandemic. Thus, this study investigated the: (1) association between both the psychological effects of trauma and negative coping and psychological distress; and (2) moderating effects of resilience and positive coping on these associations. MethodsParticipants (n = 196; Mage = 32.8; SDage = 7.5; 77% female) from two hospitals in China completed self-report measures of the psychological effects of trauma (Impact of Event Scale-Revised), negative and positive coping (Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire), resilience (Connor Davidson Resilience Scale) and distress (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale; Patient Health Questionnaire-9) in March 2022. ResultsResults from this cross-sectional study revealed that HCWs who endorsed greater psychological effects of trauma had more psychological distress when they had lower levels of positive coping ((DASS-21 (b = −0.03, SE = 0.01, p = .007); PHQ-9 (b = −0.005, SE = 0.002, p = .015)). HCWs who endorsed more negative coping had more psychological distress when they were less resilient ((DASS-21 (b = −0.02, SE = 0.01, p = .035); PHQ-9 ((b = −0.01, SE = 0.002, p = .031)) and used less positive coping ((DASS-21 (b = −0.13, SE = 0.03, p < .001); PHQ-9 (b = −0.02, SE = 0.006, p < .001)). ConclusionsPsychological distress level was higher among HCWs who experienced more trauma or used negative coping strategies. They also had lower resilience and relied less on positive coping strategies. To help HCWs in China during public health crises, interventions must bolster their resilience and positive coping skills.

Peer Teasing and Restrained Eating among Chinese College Students: The Chain Mediating Role of Negative Coping Styles and Negative Physical Self.

This study aimed to determine whether negative coping styles and negative physical self sequentially mediate the relationship between peer teasing and restrained eating among Chinese university students. In total, 1127 participants (66.9% women, average age = 18.43 years; age range, 14-26 years) completed the Perception of Teasing Scale, Coping Style Questionnaire, Negative Physical Self Scale, and the Chinese version of the Restraint Scale. The mediational analysis showed that, after controlling for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI), peer teasing was related to restrained eating behaviors through (a) the mediating effect of negative coping styles, (b) the mediating effect of negative physical self, and (c) the chain-mediating effect of negative coping styles and negative physical self. This study showed for the first time that negative coping styles and negative physical self may chain mediate the association between peer teasing and restrained eating. It also provides suggestions for clinical practices as to strategies for controlling restrained eating.

Religious coping and levels of posttraumatic stress disorder symptomatology after the Beirut explosion.

Religious coping has implications for the development of psychopathology in the aftermath of traumatic events. This study explored the relationship between religious coping (positive and negative) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomology among survivors of a large industrial explosion that devastated parts of Beirut in August of 2020. Three months after the disaster, 996 residents of Beirut and Lebanon completed validated measures of religious coping (RCOPE) and PTSD symptomatology (Impact of Events Scale-Revised) in either English or Arabic. The majority of participants were young adults aged between 18 and 25 years. Results indicated that higher levels of negative religious coping were a significant predictor of higher levels of PTSD symptomatology and were associated with a two-fold risk of meeting the criteria for probable PTSD. Other significant predictors included female gender, being a resident of Beirut at the time of the explosion, having personally sustained an injury, or knowing a person injured in the explosion. Effects sizes ranged from .34 to .68. Higher scores on measures of negative religious coping were associated with higher levels of PTSD symptomatology. However, negative religious coping may be better construed as a set of religious-based appraisals of event causality and may represent a form of peritraumatic appraisal in the wake of traumatic events.

Religious Coping in the Indian Scenario

Religious coping plays a crucial role in how individuals manage stress and trauma, particularly within the diverse cultural context of India. This study explores the interrelationships between religious coping, post-traumatic growth (PTG), and psychological well-being (PWB) among a sample of 150 cancer patients aged 30-50 years admitted to Acharya Tulsi Regional Cancer Institute and Research Centre, Bikaner. Using the Brief RCOPE (Religious Coping Scale), the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G), and the PostTraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), we found that positive religious coping strategies are significantly associated with higher levels of PTG and PWB, whereas negative religious coping correlates with poorer psychological outcomes. These findings highlight the beneficial impact of positive religious coping on psychological resilience and growth while emphasising the detrimental effects of negative religious coping. The results underscore the importance of integrating spiritual and religious dimensions into mental health interventions to foster holistic healing and well-being. Despite its contributions, the study is limited by its reliance on selfreport measures and a cross-sectional design. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and qualitative approaches to deepen understanding and develop culturally sensitive mental health practices that incorporate religious coping mechanisms.

Religious/spiritual coping in people with chronic kidney disease: A cross-sectional study

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is considered a public health problem due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Objective: To assess religious/spiritual coping in people with chronic kidney disease as a strategy for coping with the disease. Materials and Methods: This quantitative exploratory research was conducted out in a hemodialysis clinic. The sample consisted of 100 people with chronic kidney disease, undergoing hemodialysis treatment. The study used a socioeconomic demographic questionnaire and the Religious/Spiritual Coping Scale. Results: Altogether, 100 people participated in the study, with a mean age of 55.6 years and predominantly male (58%). Among religious/spiritual coping variables (positive, negative, total), the mean value of total religious-spiritual coping was the highest. The means of positive and negative coping indicate that the former is more used. Patients whose religion was Candomblé had higher positive coping, whereas Evangelical patients had higher negative coping, and Spiritists had higher total coping. Discussion: Religious/spiritual coping in the study population was high, demonstrating its importance for coping with chronic kidney disease. Conclusion: The kidney patients who participated in this study were quite adept at using religious/spiritual coping expressively and positively, pointing out the importance of this practice in coping with kidney disease.

Family Experiences in Caring for People with Schizophrenia: A Qualitative Study

Background: Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that leads to significant suffering and the inability to maintain relationships with family members. Families have had meaningful experiences during their care, as this mental disorder requires long-term care and increases the burden on the family. This family's role is crucial to the healing process for people with schizophrenia. The purpose of this study is to describe family experiences with schizophrenia treatment. Methods: This study is qualitative descriptive research. Participants were divided into three family groups, each consisting of 4 to 8 people, with a total of 16 families participating. The participant-taking technique used is purposive sampling. Researchers collect data through focus group discussions (FGD). Researchers employ framework analysis as a data analysis technique. Results: The research found five themes: negative emotions, positive emotions, family burdens, stigma, and coping strategies. Families can experience negative emotions of anger, frustration, and fear when treating people with schizophrenia. The family also feels positive emotions of hope, patience, and gratitude. Long-term care and high dependence increase the burden on the family. There's still family stigma and public stigma. As time passed, the family developed a coping strategy to adapt to the existing stressors. Conclusion: The family has valuable experience in providing care to people with schizophrenia. Nurses need to provide family intervention to deal with the stress and stigma perceived by the family.

Safety Stressors and Coal Miners' Safety Performance: The Mediating Role of Resilience and Coping Styles.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of three different safety stressors (safety role ambiguity, safety role conflicts, and safety interpersonal conflicts) on safety performance of coal miners under the mediating role of resilience and coping styles. The study is cross-sectional. To collect data to analyze the hypothesized relationships in the present study, a total of 450 questionnaires were distributed to coal miners in Shannxi Province of China. Regression analysis was employed as the main statistical technique in analyzing the data using SPSS 22.0 and Process 4.1. The results of regression analysis indicate that the three kind of safety stressors have a negative predictive effect on coal miners' safety performance. Resilience and coping styles both were the mediating variables between the safety stressors (safety role ambiguity, safety role conflicts, and safety interpersonal conflicts) and coal miners' safety performance, and resilience and coping styles play a chain mediating role between the safety stressors (safety role ambiguity, safety role conflicts, and safety interpersonal conflicts) and safety performance of coal miners. This study further explores the mechanism between safety stressors and safety performance, providing theoretical guidance for improving the safety performance of coal mines. It emphasizes the importance of coal miner's resilience intervention, positive coping styles promotion, and negative coping styles prevention in coal mine safety production.

The Relationship Between Negative Coping Styles, Psychological Resilience, and Positive Coping Styles in Military Personnel: A Cross-Lagged Analysis.

Military personnel experience prolonged exposure to high-stress environments. Positive coping styles can assist in maintaining their mental and behavioral well-being, whereas negative coping styles cannot. Health behavior change theory specifies that an individual can transition from a negative to a positive coping style. The psychological resilience concept may prove vital in this transition. In a longitudinal study design, two questionnaires were administered to 233 military personnel twice, the first at T1 in April 2023 and the second at T2 in July 2023. The questionnaire measured individual negative coping style, positive coping style and psychological resilience. The data showed that the negative coping style at T1 negatively predicted the level of psychological resilience at T2 (γ= - 0.26, p < 0.001) and the positive coping style at T2 (γ= - 0.16, p < 0.001). The level of psychological resilience at T1 positively predicted the positive coping style at T2 (γ= 0.22, p < 0.01). Psychological resilience played a mediating role between negative coping style and positive coping style. In addition, there was an interaction between psychological resilience and positive coping style in military personnel at the two time points. The negative coping styles that presently exist among military personnel have the potential to diminish their future positive coping styles by lowering their psychological resilience. This highlights the need to focus on the development and training of psychological resilience for military personnel, as it can effectively counteract negative coping styles and promote positive coping styles.

Analysis of factors influencing cardiovascular surgical nurses' emergency response capabilities, self-efficacy, and coping strategies.

To investigate the emergency response capabilities of cardiovascular surgical nurses, analyze their correlation with self-efficacy and coping styles, and summarize targeted intervention measures. A total of 243 cardiovascular surgical nurses from comprehensive tertiary Grade A hospitals in Jiangsu Province were selected using convenience sampling from October to November 2023. Participants were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, an emergency response capability assessment scale for operating room nurses, a general self-efficacy scale, and a simplified coping style scale. The total scores were 114.77±12.39 for emergency response capability, 2.69±0.58 for self-efficacy, 2.02±0.54 for positive coping style, and 1.16±0.53 for negative coping style. Pearson correlation analysis showed that emergency response capability was positively correlated with self-efficacy and positive coping styles and negatively correlated with negative coping styles (all P<0.05). Optimal scaling regression analysis indicated seven factors; age, years of work, professional level, title, self-efficacy, positive coping style, and negative coping style, which could explain 39.0% of the variation in emergency response capability (all P<0.05). The emergency response capabilities of cardiovascular surgical nurses are moderately high and closely related to their self-efficacy and coping styles. Emergency rescue training for cardiovascular surgical nurses should aim at enhancing self-efficacy and positive coping styles by, for example, setting clear training goals, focusing on individual differences, fostering of active learning, and stimulating their intrinsic motivation to enhance their emergency response capabilities. These changes will lead to more organized and efficient cardiovascular surgical emergency work.

Coping methods of college students with different personality traits when facing COVID-19 from the anxiety psychology perspective.

Based on a survey of anxiety among college students during the epidemic, this study takes anxiety as an example to study the coping methods of college students with different personality traits. Thus predicting the behavioral tendencies of college students and proposing some appropriate suggestions for the current psychological education work of college students. Method: The study was carried out during the large-scale outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, and the investigation lasted one month. Using the Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Simplified Chinese Version (EPQ-RSC), and Trait Coping Style Scale (TCSQ), an online questionnaire survey was conducted on 932 college students to analyze the mutual effects of different grades, genders, personality traits, coping methods, and other factors. The research found that there was a significant gender difference in negative coping methods and anxiety among college students. Grade differences: In the comparative study of personality traits, there are gender differences in introversion and concealment dimensions and grade differences in neuroticism and concealment dimensions. There is a pairwise correlation between personality traits, coping methods, and anxiety. There is a significant positive correlation between the dimensions of psychoticism, neuroticism and anxiety; There is a significant negative correlation between introversion, concealment, and anxiety. Positive coping methods are significantly negatively correlated with anxiety, while negative coping methods are significantly positively correlated with anxiety. The positive coping style is significantly negatively correlated with the dimensions of psychoticism and neuroticism and positively correlated with the dimensions of introversion, introversion, and concealment; Negative coping methods are significantly positively correlated with the dimensions of psychoticism and neuroticism and negatively correlated with the dimensions of introversion, introversion, and concealment. The research results indicate that the mental health issues of college students need to be taken seriously to prevent the spread of anxiety.

Prevalence and Correlators of Diabetes Distress in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study.

To address the prevalence of diabetes distress (DD) and its correlators in adults with type 2 diabetes. During 2021 and 2022, we conducted a cross-sectional study in three Class A tertiary comprehensive hospitals in China, and received 947 participants who completed a printed survey covering DD, demographic, diabetic, physiological, and psychosocial factors. We used Jonckheere-Terpstra, chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests to assess intergroup differences between different levels of DD. We used ordinal logistic regression analysis to analyze correlators of DD further. The prevalence of DD was 34.64%. In univariate analysis, those with lower satisfaction with financial status, longer durations of diabetes, more complications, higher glycemia, more severe insomnia, treatment by medications only, poorer lifestyle interventions, fewer self-care activities, more types and frequencies of insulin injections, and spending more money and time on treatment were susceptible to DD. Type D personality, negative illness perceptions, negative coping styles, and psychological effects of major life events were related to higher DD. Hope, self-efficacy, positive coping styles, and social support can reduce DD. In ordinal logistic regression analysis, hypoglycemic episode (β=-1.118, p=0.019, "have hypoglycemic" as reference) and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (β=0.090, p<0.001) were significant positive correlators for DD, while diet intervention (β=0.803, p=0.022, "have diet intervention" as reference), money spent on diabetes treatment (β<-0.001, p=0.035), and SES (β=-0.257, p<0.001) were significant negative correlators. More than one-third of Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes experience moderate or high levels of DD. DD was associated with financial, diabetic, physiological, and psychosocial status.

The Relationship between Physician and Nurses’ Burnout and Stress Levels and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior in the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Background. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationships between burnout among doctors and nurses and stress levels and healthy lifestyle behaviors during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods. The study was carried out as a cross‐sectional design. The sample consisted of 258 nurses and doctors working at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine Cebeci Research and Application Hospital. Data were collected between April and October 2021 using a sociodemographic form, the Burnout Measure Short Version (BMS), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale‐II (HLBS‐II). T tests, one‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and post hoc (Tukey, LSD) analyses were used to analyze the descriptive characteristics and scale scores of the participants. Spearman’s correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between scale scores and continuous data. Regression analysis was performed to define the reason and result relationship between the scales. Results. As a result of the correlation analysis, a positive, moderate relationship was found between the participants’ PSS total scores and BMS total scores (p &lt; 0.05). There was a moderate and weak statistically significant relationship between the participants’ PSS and BMS total score average and HLBS‐II total score and subdimensions (p &lt; 0.05). In addition, it was determined that there was a statistically significant and negative correlation between the participants’ PSS and BMS total score average and the HLBS‐II total score and subdimensions (p &lt; 0.05). After the regression analysis, the relationship between the reason and the result among the total PSS, BMS, and HLBS‐II scores was found to be significant (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions. The results obtained from this study revealed that the rising burnout and stress levels of nurses and doctors during the pandemic decreased the level of healthy lifestyle behaviors and led them to use negative coping methods.
