文摘Background:Parents of children with autism are susceptible to parenting burnout due to tremendous parenting burden and parenting challenges.Parenting burnout has a detrimental effect on both children with autism and their parents.However,the underlying mechanisms that lead to parenting burnout remain unclear.This study aimed to investigate the relationship between parenting stress and parenting burnout,along with the serial mediation effect of social support and coping strategies in the context of families with autistic children.Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study in 231 parents of autistic children in four autism facilities located in central Hubei province.Data were collected through the Parental Stress Index,Social Support Rating Scale,Simplified Coping Strategies Questionnaire,and Caregiver Burnout Assessment Questionnaire.Results:Parenting stress and burnout status were:72.3%of parents reported high-stress levels,16.9%experienced risks for parenting burnout,and 19.9%were currently experiencing burnout.Both social support and coping strategies played partial mediating roles in the relationship between parental stress and burnout,forming a serial mediation effect.Conclusion:Parenting stress is a risk factor for parenting burnout.Social support and coping strategies play a chain mediating role between parenting stress and parenting burnout,which may act as the underlying mechanisms.The study offers insights into potential intervention points for reducing parenting burnout.Future efforts are needed to devote to parenting stress,social support and coping strategy to enhance the psychological well-being of parents with autistic children.
文摘Objectives:Recently,the global esports industry has experienced remarkable growth,leading to an expansion in the scale and influence of professional player communities.However,despite this outward growth,systems to protect players’mental health remain inadequate.Comprehensive analysis of structural risk factors,including performance pressure,public evaluation,and career instability,remains insufficient.This study,aimed to explore stressors encountered by esports athletes,coping strategies,and the role of social support systems in safeguarding mental health.Using the transactional model of stress and coping,the job demands–resources model,and social support theory,the study adopts an integrated perspective to examine challenges faced by athletes in the competitive esports environment.Methods:A qualitative case study was conducted involving in-depth interviews and nonparticipant observations with 11 esports athletes who competed at national or international levels,as well as two team managers.Thematic analysis identified recurring patterns in the data,and credibility was ensured through triangulation and cross-review among researchers.Results:Esports athletes experience multiple interacting stressors,including performance demands,emotional strain duringmatches,and continuous evaluation on socialmedia.In response,they employed coping strategies—problem-focused,emotion-focused,and avoidance-based,which provided temporary relief but often led to burnout and self-regulation failure owing to absence of support systems.Social support networks had ambivalent effects:while offering comfort,they also intensified pressure through negative feedback and high expectations from fans and online communities.Conclusion:The findings show that mental health issues among esports athletes are not only related to individual factors but are closely linked to performance-driven structures,competitive environments,and social relationships.This study integrates the transactional model of stress and coping,the JobDemands–Resourcesmodel,and social support theoryto provide comprehensive analysis.It also offers practical recommendations,including psychological counseling,emotional labor programs,and improved communication with families and fan communities.

文摘Background:The phenomenon of academic anxiety has been demonstrated to exert a considerable influence on students’academic engagement,leading to the emergence of a phenomenon known as“learned helplessness”and undermining the selfconfidence and motivation of high school students.Using acceptance-rejection theory,this study elucidated how a rejective parenting style affects Chinese high school students’academic anxiety and explored the urban-rural heterogeneity of this relationship.Methods:Data were analyzed using a stratified whole-cluster random sampling method.There are a total of 30,000 high school students in the three regions of northern and central China(from Shanxi,Hebei and Henan).A sample of 2286 high school students aged 14–19 years was ultimately selected from 2760 respondents for this investigation,which was conducted at the beginning of the 2023 school year.Pearson correlation,ordinary least squares(OLS)regression analysis,path analysis,and Fisher’s permutation test(FPT)were used to examine the effects of rejective parenting style on high school students’academic anxiety.Results:Results indicated a significant positive predictive effect between rejective parenting style and academic anxiety among high school students(β=0.815,t=116.211,p<0.001).Students’self-concept was significantly positively related to positive coping style(β=0.424,t=21.208,p<0.001)and chain-mediated this relationship.Therefore,this parenting style may indirectly mitigate academic anxiety through these mediators.The study also found that the effect of rejective parenting style on academic anxiety varied by students’residential background and was more pronounced in urban areas(0.226)than in rural areas(0.130).Conclusion:The research underscores the imperative for Chinese families to reexamine their utilization of rejection parenting and to prioritize the cultivation of students’intrinsic attributes.These findings offer a theoretical framework and practical evidence for policymakers and educators to develop efficacious and targeted interventions.In particular,greater attention should be directed towards the discrepancies in the manifestation of emotional and academic anxiety between urban and rural students,and prompt guidance should be furnished.

文摘With the rapid popularization of artificial intelligence technology in the field of higher education,college students are increasingly dependent on AI tools such as ChatGPT,automatic writing assistants,and intelligent translators.Behind the convenience and efficiency,a decline trend in students’core learning abilities such as autonomous learning ability,critical thinking ability,and knowledge construction ability has gradually emerged.This study aims to explore the interactive logical mechanism between college students’reliance on AI tools and the weakening of their learning abilities,and on this basis,propose practical and feasible educational intervention strategies.Research has found that while AI tools lower the learning threshold,they also weaken students’cognitive investment and independent thinking abilities,further intensifying their reliance on technology.In this regard,this paper proposes a three-dimensional intervention path based on guided usage,ability compensation,and value reconstruction to achieve the collaborative improvement of students’technical usage ability and learning ability.This research has certain theoretical value and practical enlightenment significance for solving the structural predicament of higher education in the intelligent era.
文摘The study examined work engagement and coping strategies in the relationship between abusive supervision and helping behaviors among hospitality employees.Participants were 386 frontline hospitality employees(50.8%females;38.9%with 1–5 years of experience;78.3%in the 18–40 age range).They self-reported coping strategies,abusive supervision,work engagement,and helping behaviors.Structural equation model results showed that abusive supervision to be associated with lower employee helping behaviors.Work engagement was higher with employees’helping behaviors.Engaged employees would unleash helping behaviors.Work engagement mediated the relationship between abusive supervision and helping behaviors,lowering the abusive supervision risk.Finally,avoidance of contact exacerbated the moderated abusive supervision–work engagement relationship for lower work engagement,while support-seeking and reframing exerted no moderation role.Findings suggest that avoiding an immediate supervisor exacerbates abusive supervision.Hence,applying behavior-based interviews when hiring supervisors would be of strategic advantage to employees’productivity.
文摘This study explored how perceived social support(PSS)influences the sense of meaning in life(SML)among rural college students,considering positive coping styles(PCS)as a mediator and psychological resilience(PR)as a moderator.1444 college students(females;23.55%only child;M_(age)=19.76 years,SD=1.07;76.66%)were recruited from Jilin province in China.The college students self-reported their perceived social support and positive coping styles,psychological resilience,and sense of meaning in life.The results indicated that higher perceived social support predicted higher college students’sense of meaning in life.Perceived social support positively contributes to college students’sense of meaning in life through the mediating role of positive coping styles.Psychological resilience moderates the first path of the indirect association,where the positive effect of perceived social support on positive coping styles is more pronounced in college students with higher psychological resilience compared to those with lower psychological resilience.These align with Social Support Theory and Psychological Resilience Theory.That is,individuals with effective social support systems can enhance their positive coping styles,thereby increasing their sense of meaning in life,while psychological resilience strengthens the positive impact of perceived social support on positive coping styles.These findings offer the evidence for intervening and supporting the development of college students’sense of meaning in life.To enhance rural college students’sense of meaning in life,it is essential to establish a comprehensive social support system,promote the development of positive coping styles,and provide targeted training to strengthen psychological resilience.
文摘Objectives:To assess the awareness and coping skills of the informal and formal caregivers of people living with dementia(PLWD).Dementia is a condition,which leads to memory loss and gradual deterioration of cognitive abilities in the affected person.The lack of awareness regarding the care of people with dementia and the caregivers'poor coping strategies can negatively impact caregivers'experiences.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the 80 caregivers of PLWD from the psychiatric units of the selected hospitals of Udupi district,Karnataka,India.The baseline data were collected by a self-reported sociodemographic questionnaire.The“Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale”was used to gauge participants'awareness of the care of people with dementia,while the“Brief COPE inventory,”a 28-item questionnaire,was used to gauge carers'coping mechanisms.Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the data analysis using Jamovi(2.3.24),a graphical user interface for R programming,and Microsoft Excel.Results:Most of the caregivers(n=68,85%)had lesser awareness regarding the care of people with dementia.The mean coping strategies score was 60.9±7.71.There was a positive correlation between the awareness and the coping strategies scores among the caregivers(r=0.659,P<0.05).Conclusions:The caregivers of people with dementia often lack awareness about dementia and hence experience poor coping due to their high workload and stress.The frontline healthcare professionals and nurses need to provide appropriate interventions to the caregivers to improve their awareness about dementia and its care.
文摘This study aimed to research existing death education literature,explore its necessity,forms,and impacts,and provide references for regions lacking it,by conducting a scoping review of 18 documents from 10 databases,finding high demand among nursing students and positive effects of various teaching strategies,concluding that death education is necessary and future research should focus on enhancing evaluation timeliness and standardizing criteria to develop a complete system.
文摘Breast cancer is considered one of the most frequent causes of morbidity and death in women.Individuals’response to information regarding health threats and illness can influence the adjustment of the treatment to existing conditions including the issues of non-completion of treatment or non-attendance at medical appointments.The study aimed to examine the relationship between illness perception,body image dissatisfaction and(mal)adaptive coping styles in breast cancer patients.A sample of 197 patients with diagnosed breast cancer hospitalized at the Center for Oncology and Radiology,Kragujevac,Serbia,was surveyed.The instruments included sociodemographic questionnaire,a Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire(BIPQ),a Body Image Scale(BIS),and a Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale(Mini-MAС).Results showed that 52%of the variance of maladaptive coping style in women who underwent mastectomy was explained by the negative illness perception,while body image dissatisfaction reflected through this connection(CFI>.95,GFI>.95,RMSEA=.01,SRMR=.08).Similar results were found in patients with breast-conserving surgery but with lower percentage(36%)of variance explained(CFI>.95,GFI>.95,RMSEA<.02,SRMR<.05).If confirmed by further studies,these results would suggest that patients who underwent mastectomy tend to be more dissatisfied with their body image,have tendency to perceive illness as threatening and resort to maladaptive coping styles.However,any form of appearance modification,including breast-conserving surgery,carries the risk of body image dissatisfaction,and consequently the risk of maladaptive coping behaviors.Our results suggest that health professionals and public policies should put an additional focus on the assessment of the patient’s body image dissatisfaction,to improve the health and wellbeing of the affected women.
文摘This study reviews the historical development,current applications,and multifaceted impacts of religious psychological coping on the physical and mental health of cancer patients.As a method for coping with life’s pressures through religious beliefs or activities,religious psychological coping has been proven to alleviate the negative emotions of cancer patients and enhance their spiritual well-being and quality of life(QOL).Research indicates that religious faith can alleviate the physical symptoms of cancer patients,extend survival time,reduce the fear of death,assist in coping with treatment side effects,and improve self-efficacy and overall quality of life.Additionally,this study explores factors influencing religious psychological coping,including demographic and sociological characteristics,the faith status of caregivers,types of religion,the relationship between the course of the disease and the duration of belief,and psychological factors.Considering the cultural differences between China and other countries,this study calls for further research into the real experiences of cancer patients with religious beliefs and provides theoretical guidance for clinical nursing practices to achieve holistic care for the body,mind,and spirit of cancer patients.
