COVID-19 Stress and Teachers Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Sense of Coherence and Resilience.

ABSTRACT: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many professions with short-, medium-, and long-term consequences. Hence, this study examined the mediating role of sense of coherence (SOC) and resilience in the relation to COVID-19 stress and teachers' well-being (TWB). It recruited 836 teachers from Ethiopia's higher-education institutions, of which 630 (75.4%) were men and 206 (24.6%) were women, with a mean age of 32.81 years and a standard deviation of 6.42. Findings showed that COVID-19 stress negatively predicted SOC, resilience, and TWB and that SOC and resilience positively predicted TWB. It was concluded that SOC and resilience, both together and separately, mediated the relation between COVID-19 stress and TWB. These results were discussed alongside relevant literature, and the study is found to be valuable for practitioners and researchers who seek to improve well-being using SOC and resilience as resources across teaching professions.

Project description:Background: Trauma, stress, and adversity are well-known for having lasting negative effects on health. Yet, not all individuals go on to develop psychopathology or impaired health. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms which influence the development of stress-related resilience. Sense of coherence-revised (SOC-R) may play a role in this process, as it is formed through overcoming stress or adversity. It may also influence the steeling effect, which suggests that previous exposure to moderate adversity increases resilience to later adversities. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the mediating and moderating roles of SOC-R in the relationship between stress or adversity, and psychological health and well-being. It further aimed to investigate the role of SOC-R in steeling processes. Methods: The study used a longitudinal design, with data collection at baseline and one-year follow-up. Participants included (N = 238) Swiss older adults (Mage = 68.3 years). Standardized questionnaires assessed early-life adversity, recent chronic stress, SOC-R, and current health and well-being. Mediation and moderation analyses examined the mechanisms underpinning stress-related resilience and curvilinear associations assessed steeling. Results: Results showed that the Manageability subscale of SOC-R significantly moderated the relationship between chronic stress and general mental health (b = 0.04, 95% CI [0.007, 0.082], t = 2.32, p < 0.05). Furthermore, SOC-R significantly mediated the relationship for general mental health (GMH) and satisfaction with life (SWL) with childhood emotional neglect (GMH: b = -0.056, 95% BCa CI [-0.126, -0.002]; SWL: b = -0.043, 95% BCa CI [-0.088, -0.004]), childhood physical neglect (GMH: b = -0.100, 95% BCa CI [-0.232, -0.002]; SWL: b = -0.081, 95% BCa CI [-0.181, -0.002]), and chronic stress (GMH: b = -0.052, 95% BCa CI [-0.100, -0.001]; SWL: b = -0.055, 95% BCa CI [-0.097, -0.020]). No curvilinear associations were observed between stress or adversity and SOC-R. Conclusions: This study expands on the limited research on stress-related resilience by examining the role of SOC-R in the interactions between adversity, stress, and health. Future research should examine SOC-R in samples with a greater range and different types of adversity. Overall, findings suggest that SOC-R is an important mechanism underpinning the development of stress-related resilience.

Project description:ObjectivesThe well-being of nursing staff is closely related to nursing performance and patient safety. It has attracted much attention from nursing managers and researchers. However, the most important influencing factors and their relationships are not fully understood. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing the well-being of nurses and find out the mediating role of resilience of from burnout to well-being of hospital nursing staff.DesignA descriptive, multicentre cross-sectional study design.Settings111 hospitals in Northeast China were randomly selected by the random cluster sampling method.ParticipantsAn online survey was administered to 11 827 nurses in December 2021, who engaged in clinical, nursing or management work and volunteered to participate.Outcomes measuresThe sociodemographic characteristics, general well-being schedule, Maslach burnout inventory and Connor-Davidson resilience scale were used to assess all participants.ResultsThere are 15 variables entered into the regression equation, which can jointly predict 57.80% of the variance. There were a number of well-being-related factors identified. The individual factors include age, educational level, exercise, smoke, drinking, general health status, chronic disease, burnout and resilience. The organisational factors include psychological group, participating in psychological group activities, leadership training or communication training, working years, monthly income and night shifts. The results showed that the structural equation model of partial mediating effect of resilience was established. And the partial mediating effect accounted for 16.91% (-0.083/0.488) of the total effect.ConclusionsThere were a number of well-being-related factors identified, including individual and organisational factors, which provide directions for targeted support and interventions of nurses. It could improve the resilience of hospital nursing staff, reduce burnout and enhance well-being.
