Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

147
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects.

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory01:20

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

526
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

3.6K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Healthcare workers (HCWs) faced unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to increased burnout, stress, and trauma.
  • The ongoing pandemic necessitates strengthening HCW resilience and mitigating mental health decline.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate affective responses, mental health outcomes, and coping skill utilization among HCWs.
  • To identify specific needs for interventions to support staff psychological well-being.

Main Methods:

  • Utilization-focused evaluation approach.
  • Administered Professional Quality of Life Scale-Health (ProQoL), Outcomes Questionnaire-30.2, and Brief COPE Scale.
  • Assessed 30 HCWs (nurses and nurse technicians) with 1-25 years of experience.

Main Results:

  • 96% of participants reported work-related exhaustion; one-third struggled with significant mental health concerns (59% moderate, 32% severe stress).
  • 59% expressed interest in external individual counseling, 32% in internal counseling, and 32% in support groups.
  • Despite challenges, 93% felt their work made a difference, and 71% were rarely unhappy; 50% used coping measures, and 61% had someone to talk to.

Conclusions:

  • Therapeutic services can enhance psychological wellness, compassion satisfaction, and reduce burnout in HCWs.
  • There is a critical need for tailored coping strategies, ideally developed and led by staff, to help HCWs manage work-related stress and anxiety.
