Despite the sudden and prolonged nature of many psychosocial stressors during the pandemic, recent studies have shown that communities utilized several coping mechanisms to buffer the mental health consequences of COVID-related stress. This paper examines the extent to which coping resources and social support buffered against the mental health effects of COVID-19 psychosocial stress among adults in South Africa. Adult participants (<i>n</i> = 117) completed an online survey during the second and third waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa (January–July 2021), which assessed experiences of stress, coping resources, social support, and four mental health outcomes: depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder. Moderation analyses examined the potential buffering role of coping resources and social support against the mental health effects of COVID-19 stress. Adults reported elevated rates of psychiatric symptoms. Coping resources buffered against the poor mental health effects of COVID-19 psychosocial stress, whereas perceived social support did not significantly moderate the association between COVID-19 stress and adult mental health. These results suggest that adults in our sample utilized a variety of coping resources to protect their mental health against psychosocial stress experienced during the COVID-19 lockdown and pandemic in South Africa. Additionally, existing mental health conditions and strained social relationships may have attenuated the potential stress-buffering effect of perceived social support on adult mental health.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72113,"journal":{"name":"Adversity and resilience science","volume":"6 1","pages":"33 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42844-024-00141-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigate how subjective well-being may mediate the relationship between ACEs and social anxiety among diverse groups of sojourners in China. Utilizing structural equation modeling, this study analyzed data from 470 sojourners in China to assess the direct effects of ACEs on social anxiety and whether subjective well-being mediates this relationship.The findings revealed that ACEs were not directly associated with social anxiety (β = 0.101, <i>p</i> = 0.089). However, ACEs were found to negatively impact subjective well-being (β = -0.483, <i>p</i> < 0.001). Additionally, subjective well-being was negatively associated with social anxiety (β = -0.268, <i>p</i> < 0.001), indicating that higher levels of subjective well-being correspond to lower levels of social anxiety. The study identified a full mediation effect, demonstrating that when ACEs diminish sojourners' subjective well-being, social anxiety tends to increase (β = 0.129, SE = 0.038, CI = [0.072, 0.198], <i>p</i> < 0.01), confirming the enervating effects of ACEs on social anxiety regardless of subjective well-being. No significant gender disparities were observed in the interrelationships among ACEs, subjective well-being, and social anxiety. Outcomes varied among students, expatriates, and business owners based on the model.

It draws upon in-depth narrative interviews with 13 British Pakistani women, aged between 38 and 69. The analysis is grounded in the Resilience Portfolio Model developed by Grych and colleagues. The Resilience Portfolio Model proposes that each individual has a unique “portfolio” of strengths and protective factors which consists of “assets” (regulatory strengths, interpersonal strengths, and meaning-making strengths) and resources available to individuals. Just like many people across the globe, women were impacted by the pandemic in different ways; nevertheless, they maintained resilience through regulatory behaviours of walking and enjoying nature, engaging in praying, and reading the Quran. Women invested in positive relationships that supported the development of social capital within their community and allowed them to connect with others in meaningful and reciprocal ways. Their religious beliefs and identity not only were key in their ability to make sense of the pandemic but also promoted a sense of belonging which enabled them to engage with their community resources. Findings show that women’s assets worked in tandem with their resources to promote their overall wellbeing during the COVID-19 adversity. This highlights the need for practitioners to combine individual “strengths” and community resources when developing preventative and responsive interventions for ethnic minority women who have experienced adversity and for policy initiatives to consider recreational resources that help to minimise isolation in ethnic minority communities.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72113,"journal":{"name":"Adversity and resilience science","volume":"6 1","pages":"61 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42844-024-00143-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individual ACEs associated with greatest risk for new or existing mental illness diagnoses and severe psychological distress were parental mental illness and sexual abuse. Combinations of ACEs associated with greatest risk were parental mental illness-plus-sexual abuse and parental mental illness-plus-emotional neglect.
