corona stress

Psychological security is one of the basic human needs, especially the second layer of Maslow's pyramid. Parent-child conflict and differentiation with self-stress were done.

Methods and Materials: 

The research employed an applied purpose and descriptive-correlation methodology. The statistical population consisted of 7,500 undergraduate students at Lorestan University during the 2021-2022 academic year. Following Klein's rule (2015), a sample size of 240 participants was selected using a non-probability sampling method via an online questionnaire. The study utilized several tools, including Maslow's psychological security questionnaire, the Corona stress scale, the self-differentiation scale, and a parent-child relationship assessment.

The direct results of research hypotheses showed that self-differentiation of causal and negative effect with psychological security β=-0.51, causal and negative effect with psychological security β=-0.15. Also, Corona stress has a mediating role of causal and direct negative effect with psychological security β = 0.17, self-differentiation with causal and direct effects stress β b = 0.19, as well as parent-child conflict with causal stress. and directly had β = 0.21; Also, the assumptions of the indirect causal effect of stress were confirmed.

In the end, it is concluded that during the time of infection with the COVID-19 virus, interventions are carried out to maintain psychological security and improve parent-child relationships, as well as self-differentiation.

The coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) caused severe stress and decreased communication skills among various groups, including medical students. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of communication skills training on the components of corona stress in students of medical sciences.

This study was applied in terms of purpose and followed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest and a control group. The research population included students of the Islamic Azad University of Tehran, Medical Sciences Branch, in the 2021-2022 academic years. A total of 170 students were selected as the sample by simple random sampling and were randomly divided into two equal groups through a draw. The experimental group received four 120-min sessions of communication skills training for one month, and the control group did not receive any training during this period and remained on the waiting list for training. The research tools included a demographic characteristics questionnaire and the “Corona Stress Scale”. The content validity was confirmed by experts’ opinions, and the reliability was calculated by internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Data were analyzed using tests of chi-squared, independent sample t-test, and multivariate analysis of covariance in the SPSS software (version 26).

The results showed that the experimental and control groups did not significantly differ in any variables of gender (χ2=0.46, P=0.496) and mean age (t=-1.49, P=0.135). In addition, it was found that communication skills training reduced corona stress psychological states (F=1518.06, P=0.001), corona stress physical states (F=2197.35, P=0.001), and corona stress-related behaviors (F=1220.10, P=0.001) in medical students.

Communication skills training was effective in reducing the components of corona stress in medical students. Therefore, to reduce corona stress, communication skills training can be used, along with other effective training methods.

At the end of 2019, the coronavirus quickly turned into a global pandemic, which increased anxiety and panic among people. This disease caused a lot of damage to society and people. The aim of the current research is the effectiveness of reality therapy on stress and anxiety of Corona in patients with covid-19.

The research method is semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test and follow-up design. The statistical population of this research included all the patients with covid-19 in Mazandaran province, from whom 30 people were selected as a sample by random sampling. In this research, the Corona Stress Questionnaire (2019) and the Corona Anxiety Questionnaire (2018) were used. The data were analyzed using variance analysis with repeated measurements and through SPSS-24 software program.

The difference in the average scores of the components and the total score of Corona stress, like the components and the total score of Corona anxiety in the pre-test-post-test and pre-test-follow-up stages, is statistically significant, but the average difference of those scores in the post-test-follow-up stages is The 0.05 level is not significant.

Reality therapy reduces the stress and anxiety of corona in patients with covid-19 in a stable manner. that reality therapy training has a favorable effect on reducing anxiety caused by Corona and Corona stress and ultimately mental health problems; Therefore, managers and officials of health and treatment systems can use these treatment methods.

Self-care behaviors are the most common behavioral response in attempts to prevent corona stress in patients with diabetes. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of positive thinking skills training and behavioral activation therapy on self-care and corona stress in patients with diabetes mellitus.

This was a semi-experimental study using a pretest-posttest and follow-up design with experimental and control groups. The statistical population included all the diabetic patients referring to the Vanoshe Diabetes Clinic in Qaemshahr city, Iran in 2020-2021, from among whom 45 patients were selected by accessible sampling technic based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided into three 15-member groups, namely,  positive thinking skills training, behavioral activation therapy and a control group. The first and second experimental groups received positive thinking skills training in six 60-minute virtual sessions and behavioral activation therapy training in eight 70-minute virtual sessions, respectively, and the control group was in the waiting list. Data were collected using the Corona Stress Scale "CSS-18" and the Summery of Diabetes Self-Care Activities "SDSCA" and analyzed using the repeated measures of variance analysis and the Bonferroni post hoc test with SPSS-22.

The findings revealed that there was a significant difference between the two experimental groups and the control group. Both the positive thinking skills training and behavioral activation therapy interventions reduced corona stress (F= 15.73) and increased self-care (F= 16.17) in the patients, and the effects of the interventions in the follow-up phase were found to be continuing (p <0.05). In addition, the results of Bonferroni post hoc test showed that positive thinking skills raining was more effective than behavioral activation therapy on corona stress reduction (IJ= 9.02), while as regards self-care the behavioral activation therapy (IJ= 12.93) was more effective (p <0.05).

Based on the findings it can be concluded that positive thinking skills training and behavioral activation therapy interventions can be effective in improving self-care and corona stress reduction among diabetic patients. It is recommended that therapists and counselors use, in addition to other treatment methods, these therapies to improve the self-care and corona stress reduction in diabetic patients.

The emerging idea of a health-oriented academic lifestyle, which shows the most common behavioral indicators in facing academic challenges and is adapted from theories of achievement motivation, has recently been at the center of health psychologists' research in the academic field. Hence, the present research was carried out with the aim of designing and testing a model related to the antecedents and consequences of the stress Corona based on the health-oriented academic lifestyle in students.

 This applied research had a descriptive, correlational design. The statistical population of the study was comprised of all the 10th grade male students of the Islamabad-Gharb city in the academic year of 2021-2022, (N= 888). The Cochran formula was used to determine the sample size (n=268) and the sample was drawn via cluster random sampling method. To collect data, Corona Stress Scale (CSS-18) According to Iranian Lifestyle (Salimi et al., 2018) and the promoting and preventing educational health academic lifestyle behavior questionnaire (Salehzadeh et al., 2018) were used. In order to analyze the data, structural equation modeling with the partial least squares method, Smart-PLS 3.3 and SPSS 27 software was used.

The results of the research showed that academic optimism, academic engagement, and academic resilience have a significant effect on corona stress on students and corona stress has a significant effect on learned helplessness, Academic procrastination and on students' avoidance of work. Also, the proposed research model is supported by empirical data.

In general, based on the findings of the research, it can be stated that it is necessary to prepare for the management of the antecedents and consequences of critical and unpredictable conditions such as the coronavirus in the academic process of students.

The covid-19 pandemic has caused a lot of anxiety and stress among all students, especially medical students. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of communication skills training on the anxiety and stress of Covid-19 in students of medical sciences unit.

This was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The research population was the students of Islamic Azad University, Medical Sciences branch, Tehran, in the academic year of 2021-2022. The sample of the research was 170 students who were selected by simple random sampling method and replaced randomly using lottery in two groups of 85 people including experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 4 sessions of 90 minutes for a month under communication skills training, and the control group did not receive training during this period and remained on the waiting list for training. The research tools were demographic information form, anxiety inventory and corona stress scale. The data were analyzed with chi-square, independent t tests and univariate analysis of covariance in SPSS-26 software.

The results of chi-square and independent t tests showed that the experimental and control groups did not differ significantly in terms of gender and average age (P>0.05). Also, the findings of the univariate covariance analysis test showed that communication skills training reduced the anxiety and stress of corona in medical students (P<0.001).

The results indicated the effective role of communication skills training in reducing the anxiety and stress of Corona in medical students. Therefore, health professionals can use the communication skills training method along with other effective training methods to improve the psychological characteristics related to Corona

The prevalence of coronavirus and the formation of its mutant species has caused stress and anxiety in communities. Fear and anxiety caused by coronavirus are destructive and can lead to mental disorders in people. The aim of this study was to predict corona stress based on coping strategies with stress, quality of life and psychological well-being among nurses in Kermanshah.

The method of this research was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population consisted of all nurses in Kermanshah in April 1400. A total of 200 people were selected as a statistical sample by voluntary sampling through online response to questionnaires. In this study, Corona stress scale (Salimi et al., 1399), stress coping strategies questionnaire (Lazarus and Folkman, 1998), short version of the World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire (2004) and psychological well-being scale (Reef, 1989) were used. . Data analysis was performed using multivariate regression simultaneously with the help of SPSS-22 software.

The correlation results showed that stress has a positive relationship with emotion-oriented coping strategy and a negative relationship with problem-oriented coping strategy, quality of life and psychological well-being. The results of regression analysis showed that the strongest predictor of corona stress was emotion-oriented coping with Beta = 0.854, and yet all variables had a significant share in the regression equation.

The results of this study showed that the application of problem-oriented coping strategy and high quality of life and psychological well-being can be associated with a reduction in coronary stress. Therefore, by using strategies and interventions focused on increasing the levels of quality of life and psychological well-being, steps can be taken to reduce nurses' stress
