“…The Chinese version of the CSS [ 58 ] was used to measure the coping strategies participants chose to adopt in the COVID-19 context. The CSS includes 30 specific strategies which can be categorized into seven general types of coping strategies: Withdrawal, Positive Adaptation, Problem-solving, Disengagement, Prosocial Focus, Seeking Emotional Support, and Self-regulation.…”

The prevalence of reported mental health problems among university students has increased at alarming rates in recent years. While various negative life events (from personal events such as relationship breakdowns to more global events such as COVID-19 [SARS-CoV-2] pandemic) have been found to be important predictors of poor mental health in this population, some individuals have been found robustly to fare better than others in confronting such events. Identifying factors that predict these individuals’ mental health, along with the specific coping strategies they utilize may have significant practical implications when confronted by adverse events such as COVID-19. This study investigated relationships between the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on 828 (453 females, 374 males, and one “Other”) Chinese university students’ mental health, and their internal strengths, personality characteristics, and demographic profiles. We also investigated whether students’ use of specific coping strategies mediated these relationships. Stepwise multiple regression analyses (MRAs) and a path analysis revealed that students who resided in their home country, had higher levels of internal strengths, a lower level of neuroticism and a higher level of agreeableness and reported fewer negative mental health changes than did other respondents during COVID-19 in the second half of 2020. Self-regulation and withdrawal coping strategies were both important mediators of these relationships. These findings have important implications for universities in identifying and assisting students in the face of adverse events such as COVID-19.

“…Respondents were asked to rate how frequently they used each of the strategies using a five-point scale (Never = 1, Rarely = 2, Sometimes = 3, Often = 4, Always = 5). Zhao et al [ 58 ] have found that this instrument has sound internal structure and reliability in Chinese university populations.…”

“…The score can indicate the primary coping mechanism of the individual (e.g., problem-focused, emotion-focused, avoidant). Low scores on all subscales may indicate that the responder does not experience many stressors with which he needs to cope, lacks reflective ability or has poor coping mechanisms [13].…”

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a frequent complication of radical prostatectomy (RP), and identifying preoperative predictors may assist in patient selection and continence rehabilitation. We investigated the association between preoperative psychological factors and UI after RP. Consenting patients planned for RP were recruited prospectively to this pilot study. They responded to preoperative psychological surveys, including a depression anxiety stress scale, coping behavior questionnaire, general self-efficacy scale, revised life orientation test and locus of control scale (LCS). Incontinence severity was assessed by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and daily pad usage at 6 months after surgery. Correlation tests and linear regression models evaluated the association between psychological factors and UI. Twenty-five men with a median age of 69 years were enrolled. Continence outcomes at 6 months were a median ICIQ-SF score of 11 (Interquartile range (IQR) 7–14) and a median use of 2 pads per day (IQR 1–5). LCS was linearly correlated to ICIQ-SF scores (p = 0.05) and daily pad use (p = 0.005). Age and pathological staging were also linearly correlated to incontinence severity. LCS remained linearly associated with daily pad use on multivariate analysis adjusting for age and pathology (β = 0.61, p = 0.007). Locus of control is a psychological predictor for post-RP UI severity, and patients with external control may be prone to worse incontinence. The LCS may be used when counseling patients before surgery in order to clarify expectations regarding postoperative continence. Future studies to evaluate whether psychological intervention may be beneficial for continence rehabilitation are warranted.
