RESUMO

This study aimed to investigate the dimensional structure of Brief-COPE during the COVID-19 pandemic. Six hundred and sixty-six adults from all regions of Brazil, mostly women (77 %), aged between 18 and 79 years old (M = 36.70; SD = 13.12), took part in this research. They answered sociodemographic questions and the Brief-COPE. Descriptive and confirmatory factor analyzes were performed. The first order dimensional structure was confirmed with the 14 original factors. The second order structure did not converge, and a new second order structure was proposed based on the correlation indexes among the first order factors. The proposed new model presented adequate indexes of adjustment to the data. Such results suggest that the pandemic may have changed the way participants perceive and relate coping strategies.


El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la estructura dimensional de Brief-COPE durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Seiscientos sesenta y seis adultos de todas las regiones de Brasil participaron en esta investigación, en su mayoría mujeres (77 %), con edades entre 18 y 79 años (M = 36.70; DE = 13.12). Los participantes respondieron preguntas sociodemográficas y el Brief-COPE. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y análisis factoriales confirmatorios. Se confirmó la estructura dimensional de primer orden, con 14 factores. La estructura de segundo orden no convergió y se propuso una nueva estructura de segundo orden basada en la correlación entre los factores de primer orden. El nuevo modelo propuesto presentó índices adecuados de ajuste a los datos. Estos resultados sugieren que la pandemia puede haber cambiado la forma en que los participantes perciben y relacionan las estrategias de afrontamiento.


O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a estrutura dimensional do Brief-COPE durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Participaram desta pesquisa 666 adultos de todas as regiões do Brasil, majoritariamente mulheres (77 %), com idade entre 18 e 79 anos (M = 36,70; DP = 13,12). Estes responderam perguntas sociodemográficas e o Brief-COPE. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e Análises Fatoriais Confirmatórias. A estrutura dimensional de primeira ordem foi confirmada, com 14 fatores. A estrutura de segunda ordem não convergiu, sendo proposta uma nova estrutura de segunda ordem tomando como base a correlação entre os fatores de primeira ordem. O novo modelo proposto apresentou índices adequados de ajuste aos dados. Tais resultados sugerem que a pandemia pode ter alterado a forma como os participantes percebem e relacionam as estratégias de enfrentamento.

RESUMO

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in an increase in known risk factors for mental health problems. Mexico adopted lockdown and physical distancing as a containment strategy with potential consequences on day to day life, such as social isolation, loss of income and loneliness that can have important consequences in terms of mental health. Objective: We aimed to examine the effect of the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychological distress, well-being and perceived physical health among Mexican-base respondents and to examine whether coping strategies would play a potential intermediating role in relation to these variables. Under the Existential Positive Psychology perspective, an emphasis was made on meaning-centered coping. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between April 30 and June 16th 2020 among 604 Mexicans-base respondents of which 471 were women and 132 men. Data was collected by using online questionnaires. Psychological distress was measured using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). The Brief COPE Inventory was used to assess problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies. We also used the Meaning-Centered Coping Scale (MCCS). PERMA-Profiler was used to assess well-being, perceived physical health, and loneliness. Profiler and Descriptive analyses and bivariate linear regression were performed to examine the association of variables. Results: 45.9% of the participants reported moderate to extremely severe psychological distress. Our results demonstrate that problem-focused and emotion-focused coping were positively related to psychological distress, whereas meaning-centered coping was negatively associated with distress. Furthermore, psychological distress played a potential negative role in the perceived physical health, while meaning-centered coping and well-being buffered the negative influence of psychological distress on perceived physical health (completely standardized indirect effect = -0.01, SE: 0.012, 95% CI [-0.065; -0.017]. Conclusion: Meaning-centered coping was found to suppress the negative influence of psychological distress on sensation of decreased physical health corroborating the critical role of meaning in life in promoting well-being. Future studies can further examine the value of the critical role of meaning in life in promoting well-being as a protective factor against severe distress during traumatic events. Findings of this study can be used to orient policies and interventions aimed to alleviate suffering in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
