“…These results are consistent with earlier studies [24,29,32] that posit relationship between coping strategies and psychological well-being. Previous studies also uphold the proposition that certain coping strategies alleviate stress and promote positive psychological outcomes, whereas others exacerbate stress and promote negative well-being [7,8]. The argument here is that the low per cent (29.2%) of the total variance explained in psychological well-being reflects the combination of both effective and non-effective coping strategies.…”

“…That is, those who effectively cope with daily hassles are more likely to experience higher levels of well-being than those who do not. However, previous studies uphold the thesis that certain coping strategies alleviate stress and promote positive psychological outcomes, whereas others exacerbate stress and promote negative wellbeing [7,8]. Similarly, the World Health Organization [9][10][11] in separate remarks has raised concerns for youths' mental health and psychosocial development in particular, and identified poor coping skills as one of several risk factors for ill health in adulthood and even premature death.…”

The study examined the impact of coping strategies on students' psychological well-being in a Nigerian university. 149 students comprising 81 (54.36%) males and 68 (45.64%) females, ranging from 18 to 33 years, with a mean age of 23.16 years responded to the coping strategies inventory and scales of psychological well-being, via a crosssectional survey design. The standard multiple regression analysis was adopted to test hypotheses using (SPSS 21 version). The results showed significant F (8,140)=7.20, p<0.0005 joint impact of coping strategies on psychological well-being, and accounted for approximately 29.2% of the variability. Independently, there were significant independent positive and negative impacts of coping strategies dimensions on psychological well-being. Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that coping strategies may enhance and/or exacerbate psychological wellbeing. Students are advised among others to embrace appropriate strategies to avoid negative consequences.

“…31 A robust literature in psychology also has implicated, defined, operationalized, and measured dimensions of motivation (both internal and external), as well as perceived locus of control. 32 In our working population, individuals with "professional" types of positions exhibited greater improvements on several cognitive measures compared to what was observed in the overall population, especially measures assessing executive functioning (DSST, Stroop, and TMT-B). It could be that individuals working in these types of positions, with presumably higher demands for executive functioning, are more resilient and have higher levels of motivation and/or internal locus of control and, thus, have a greater potential for cognitive improvement during treatment with vortioxetine.…”

Objective: This post hoc analysis investigates the effect of vortioxetine on cognitive functioning and depressive symptoms in working adults with major depressive disorder (MDD).Methods: Population data from FOCUS, a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study investigating the efficacy of vortioxetine versus placebo on cognitive functioning and depression in patients with MDD, were used to analyze mean change from baseline scores for the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Trail Making Test A/B (TMT-A/B), Stroop, and Perceived Deficits Questionnaire (PDQ). FOCUS, conducted from December 2011 through May 2013, included adult patients with recurrent MDD according to DSM-IV-TR criteria. Change in depression severity (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale [MADRS] total score) was analyzed using data from 3 additional short-term placebo-controlled studies (2 of which included duloxetine) and 1 relapse prevention study. Analyses were done according to patients' working status at baseline and workplace position. All analyses were made versus placebo. Results:In FOCUS, the effect versus placebo on the DSST was 5.6 for 10 mg and 5.0 for 20 mg (P < .001 for both doses) in working patients; the effect was 4.0 (P < .001 for both doses) in total study population. The effect remained significant when adjusting for change in MADRS. In patients with "professional" positions, the effect was 9.2 for 10 mg (P = .006) and 9.0 for 20 mg (P = .001). A similar pattern of results was also observed for TMT-A/B, Stroop, PDQ, and MADRS total score. The efficacy of duloxetine was not different in working patients (MADRS). Conclusions:The beneficial effects of vortioxetine on objective and subjective measures of cognitive functioning are greater in working patients with MDD; the observed benefits were independent of improvement in depressive symptoms. 6 Evidence indicates that among adults with MDD, cognitive symptoms account for more variability in workplace performance than does total depressive symptom severity. 7 These observations support research underscoring the notion that cognitive dysfunction is a critical mediator of role impairment in MDD. 8Results from 2 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies demonstrated a clinical benefit of vortioxetine on cognitive functioning in adults with MDD, including objective neuropsychological tests of executive functioning, speed of processing, verbal learning, and memory.9-11 These studies confirm and extend the results from an earlier double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, duloxetine-referenced study with vortioxetine in elderly (≥ 65 years) patients with MDD. 12The beneficial effect observed on measures of cognitive functioning with vortioxetine is of particular importance for individuals with MDD who are working and/or engaged in activities that place high demands on cognition (eg, educational pursuit). Because depression is primarily a disorder affecting people of working age, 13 it is important to understand how the effect of vortioxetine on cognit...

“…Although certain coping strategies can alleviate stress and promote positive psychological outcomes, the efficacy of the coping strategy depends on the personal psychological resources of subjects, such as self-efficacy and resilience. 26 , 51 Therefore, self-efficacy, as a modifiable factor, should be improved by effective interventions in RA patients for coping with mental health problems. The application of self-efficacy theory to arthritis self-management intervention has been widely developed, which consistently has shown significant early and sustained benefits that are attributed to the change in self-efficacy.…”

PurposeRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is significantly associated with depression and anxiety. Social support and self-efficacy are the coping resources of psychological distress. However, little research is available on the interaction of social support and self-efficacy in RA patients. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms and to examine whether or not self-efficacy moderates the associations of social support with depressive and anxiety symptoms in Chinese RA patients.MethodsA multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted in northeast of China from December 2014 to January 2016. A total of 297 RA patients completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and General Self-Efficacy Scale. The associations of social support, self-efficacy and social support × self-efficacy interaction with depressive and anxiety symptoms were examined by hierarchical regression analysis. If the interaction was statistically significant, simple slope analysis was conducted.ResultsThe prevalence of depressive symptoms was 58.2%, while 47.5% RA patients had anxiety symptoms. Social support and social support × self-efficacy interaction were significantly associated with depressive symptoms. Social support, self-efficacy and their interaction were significantly associated with anxiety symptoms. The association between social support and depressive symptoms was gradually reduced in the low (1 standard deviation [SD] below the mean, B=−0.614, β=−0.876, P<0.001), mean (B=−0.395, β=−0.563, P<0.001) and high (1 SD above the mean, B=−0.176, β=−0.251, P=0.002) groups of self-efficacy. For anxiety symptoms, the association was also gradually reduced in the low (B=−0.527, β=−0.774, P<0.001), mean (B=−0.288, β=−423, P<0.001) and high (B=−0.049, β=−0.071, P=0.447) groups of self-efficacy.ConclusionThere was a high prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms in Chinese RA patients. Self-efficacy could attenuate the associations of social support with depressive and anxiety symptoms. Adequate social support and self-efficacy intervention should be provided to alleviate psychological distress.
