“…O coping é o processo habitualmente utilizado para ajudar os indivíduos a manter a adaptação psicossocial sob condições stressantes, sendo definido como a mobilização de recursos cognitivos e comportamentais para lidar com stressores internos e externos (Lazarus & Folk, 1984). Enquanto fenómeno complexo contribui para alterações na saúde mental e situações crónicas de doença diminuindo a produtividade, reduzindo a qualidade de vida e aumentando exponencialmente o custo com medicação e recurso a serviços de saúde (Manosso et al, 2022).

“…Stress in modern times is often described as psychological, mental, or emotional pain, and can be acute or chronic where triggers vary from actual physical or psychological threats to valid or invalid anticipations of such insults (28). Experiencing a stress-reaction in smaller quantities during shorter periods of time can be beneficial as it is valuable for our ability to adapt and react adequately to environmental stimuli (29).…”

As our societies have grown larger, and communications have become global and fast-paced, our bodies and minds have been subjected to a mental stress different from the "fight or flight" situations we have adapted to through evolution. Furthermore, mental health issues are now seen to be on the rise all over the world. Globalisation has enabled social crises of different origins, e.g. financial or biological, to influence nations worldwide and spread faster than ever before. This thesis aims to investigate how populations are affected in regard to stress and mental health by the extraordinary circumstances of the global financial crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2023.The first two studies in this thesis focus on the effects of the financial crisis on young adults (Paper I) and adults in working ages (Paper II). Greece was severely affected by the global financial crisis of 2008 and went into a decade long recession, whereas Scandinavian countries were less affected. University students were recruited from the psychology and medicine programs in Athens, Greece and Linköping, Sweden. Primary care visitors were recruited consecutively at primary health care centres (PHCC) in Greece, Sweden, and Norway. Data was collected in connection to recruitment. All participants filled out the same short questionnaire and gave hair samples that were analysed for cortisol concentrations (HCC) as a biological measure of stress.

Stress can affect a person's emotions which can led to anxiety, depression and irritability.…”

The feelings and beliefs encompassing an individual's assessment of their current or past stress levels are referred to as perceived stress. This phenomenon is common due to the high demands of contemporary responsibilities. This study delves into perceived stress experienced by staff in public universities, a segment prone to similar pressures. Reports in the media frequently highlight such stress among Malaysian public sector employees. The complex challenges faced by public sector staff require thorough resolution for effective job performance. Focusing on this, the article investigates perceived stress within the context of Malaysian public university staff. Through an online survey involving 72 university staff, we employed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) to gauge the extent of perceived stress. The findings reveal that all staff members encountered moderate levels of perceived stress. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of perceived stress dynamics among Malaysian public university staff, inviting further exploration into effective stress management strategies.
