“…For example, acceptance-based coping with negative emotions proved to require fewer resources than suppression and is associated with better psychological health (Alberts et al, 2012; Cook & Hayes, 2010). Furthermore, evidence suggests that self-encouragement, as a functional coping strategy, correlates with higher self-esteem, general self-efficacy, and fewer feelings of shame (Redden et al, 2023; Romppel et al, 2013). Therefore, the utilization of self-encouragement and acceptance seems to be important for coping with daily hassles.…”

“…Assessing the utilization of resources related to well-being is of great importance since caregivers commonly reduce or forgo leisure and health-promoting activities (Schüz et al, 2015) and since increases in utilization of such resources mediate intervention effects on depression and quality of life (Losada et al, 2011; Töpfer & Wilz, 2021). Regarding the utilization of resources for coping with daily hassles, SEA assesses efficient coping strategies already shown to be important for managing stressors in various studies (Alberts et al, 2012; Cook & Hayes, 2010; Redden et al, 2023; Romppel et al, 2013), including studies with family caregivers (Collins & Kishita, 2019). Since family caregivers encounter a plenitude of burdensome challenges daily, utilizing resources for coping with these hassles is highly relevant.…”

Psychosocial resources can enhance positive experiences and reduce negative experiences in family caregivers. This study aimed to develop scales for measuring the utilization of resources related to well-being and coping with daily hassles adapted for family caregivers. It aimed to examine their psychometric properties with a German sample of 445 informal caregivers. Factorial analyses, reliability, and validity tests yielded the scales “Utilization of resources related to well-being” and “Self-encouragement and acceptance.” These showed divergent validity to scales focusing on care-recipients’ cognitive and functional impairment and sufficient convergent validity to scales measuring physical health complaints, caregiver burden, and depression. The scales represent economic measures suitable for both preventive and interventional studies.

Mental Health of Czech University Psychology Students: Negative Mental Health Attitudes, Mental Health Shame and Self-Compassion

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

High rates of mental health problems are a growing concern in Czech higher education, negatively impacting students’ performance and wellbeing. Despite the serious nature of poor mental health, students often do not seek help because of negative attitudes and shame over mental health problems. Recent mental health research reports self-compassion is strongly associated with better mental health and reduced shame. However, relationships between those constructs remain to be evaluated among Czech students. This study aims to appraise the relationships between mental health problems, negative mental health attitudes, mental health shame, and self-compassion in this population. An opportunity sample of 119 psychology students from a Czech university completed questionnaires regarding these constructs. Correlation, regression, and path analyses were conducted. Mental health problems were positively associated with negative mental health attitudes and shame, and negatively associated with self-compassion. Self-compassion negatively predicted mental health problems, while negative attitudes and shame did not. Last, self-compassion fully mediated the negative attitudes-mental health problems relationship, and partially mediated the shame-mental health problems relationship. Findings suggest self-compassion is essential for mental health in Czech students and associated with negative mental health attitudes and mental health shame. Czech universities can benefit from incorporating self-compassion training into their curricula to protect students’ mental health.
