Abstract

This study was conducted to identify processes of coping with COVID-19 and determine their impact on emotional well-being for women of color in the United States. Data were collected from 368 women between May and July 2020 using an online survey guided by the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, which included an assessment of COVID-19 stressors, Brief Encounter Psychosocial Instrument (BEPSI), 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Over half of the women were depressed (59.0%) and felt ill (69.3%) from the stress of COVID-19. Planful problem solving (M = 4.58, SD = 2.70) was the primary way to cope with COVID-19. A small, positive correlation existed between COVID-19 stressors and depressive symptoms (r = 0.27, p < .001). COVID-19 had a significant impact on the increase of stress (MI = 0.53, p < .001) and depressive symptoms (MI = 5.90, p < .001) as well as the decrease of resilience (MD = 2.17, p < .001) for women of color in the United States. These results can be translated into actionable care plans for clinicians and public health professionals that inform the development of tailored, culturally appropriate, equitable, and gender-specific mental health care for women of color in the age of COVID-19.

了解新冠肺炎时代美国有色人种女性的压力和应对

这项研究旨在确定应对新冠肺炎的过程，并确定其对美国有色人种女性情绪健康的影响。在2020年5月至7月期间，使用压力和应对交易模型指导的在线调查从368名女性中收集数据，其中包括对新冠肺炎压力源的评估、短暂接触心理社会工具（BEPSI）、10项Connor-Davidson复原力量表（CD-RISC-10）、应对方式问卷（WCQ）和流行病研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）。超过一半的女性因新冠肺炎的压力而感到抑郁（59.0%）和不适（69.3%）。有计划地解决问题（M=4.58，SD=2.70）是应对新冠肺炎的主要方式。新冠肺炎压力源与抑郁症状之间存在小的正相关（r=0.27，p<.001）。新冠肺炎对美国有色人种女性的压力增加（MI=0.53，p<0.001）和抑郁症状（MI=5.90，p<001）以及恢复力下降（MD=2.17，p<.001）有显著影响。这些结果可以转化为临床医生和公共卫生专业人员可操作的护理计划，为新冠肺炎年龄段有色人种女性制定量身定制、文化适宜、公平和性别特定的心理健康护理提供信息。
