“…The total score ranges from 7 to 35 points, being classified as "little fear" (7 to 19), "moderate fear" (20 to 26) and "very afraid" (above 27). This scale was translated and validated for the Brazilian context, having presented good psychometric performance (21) . In this study, the internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) was 0.86.…”

Objective: to analyze the factors associated with the perception of fear of COVID-19 in Brazilian university students. Methods: this is an online, cross-sectional analytical study conducted at a Brazilian public university with 1,437 undergraduate students between September and November 2020. The Fear of COVID-19 Scale was used to measure the main construct. Data analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney U test, Cohen’s r test and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: factors associated with fear of COVID-19 in university students were the variables biological sex, perception of good sleep quality, many days of access to information, not complying with social distancing, reporting sufficient hours of sleep, not having a partner, guidance sexual non-heterosexual, being in the risk group for COVID-19 and tobacco consumption. Conclusions: the study findings can contribute to the discussion about the weaknesses that the university population is experiencing in this pandemic period.

“…The instrument has acceptable quality items content that perfectly fits with adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies, which may be the real explanation for the factorability of the instrument in two factors (Zeidner & Saklofske, 1996 ), despite the previous interpretation made by the authors (Pérez-Fuentes et al, 2021 ). As an alternative proposal, we retested their instrument’s factorability, offering coping strategies theorisation as a solid foundation to reinterpret the internal structure in the current study.…”

“…Focusing on coping strategy as an essential resource, we need to generate evidence for coping instruments that can contribute to mental health instrumentation for screening psychological conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic or others that may happen. During COVID-19, Pérez-Fuentes et al ( 2021 ) proposed one instrument for assessing adaptability to change based on the emotional and cognitive dimensions. There are two factors (emotional adaptation and cognitive adaptation) that can be summed as a secondary factor of adaptability to change in their instrument.…”

“…We criticise the theoretical foundation of that instrument, considering that the content of the items does not fit with the authors’ interpretation of the internal structure. When we checked the items’ content, it is possible to identify emotional and cognitive content in both factors (Pérez-Fuentes et al, 2021 ), which may not explain the factorability in two factors. We hypothesised that the difference between the factors fits with coping strategies theorisation (Lazarus & Folkman, 1991 ; Taylor & Stanton, 2007 ; Holahan & Moos, 1987 ; Heffer & Willoughby, 2017 ; Labrague et al, 2017 ; Thompson et al, 2018 ), especially with the concept of adaptive and maladaptive coping (Zeidner & Saklofske, 1996 ).…”

This study aimed to analyse the internal structure, internal consistency, and convergent and divergent validity for the Coping Strategies Scale. We found a two-factor solution (maladaptive coping; adaptative coping) with a second-order general factor (coping strategies) that demonstrated adequate factorial structure and internal consistency for a brief nine items instrument in a sample of 211 economically active Brazilians ( M age = 37.07; SD = 13.03). The adaptive strategies factor converged with quality of life and work. It also diverged from phobia, stress, and anxiety. Maladaptive coping strategies converged with phobia, stress, and anxiety and diverged from the quality of work and life. According to the results, we found that coping strategies are a vital personal resource to overcome daily adversity, including those from the current pandemic. The present instrument may impact worldwide, offering conditions to investigate and promote mental health positive outcomes by reinforcing coping assessment during pandemics.

“…O instrumento é composto por uma escala de 7 itens com opções de respostas do tipo Likert, cujo escore total é obtido a partir da somatória dos itens (7 a 35 pontos), sendo que quanto mais alto for o escore, maior é o medo. A variável foi categorizada de 39, 1-20, e0226, 2022 acordo com os tercis como "pouco medo" (7 a 21 pontos), "medo moderado" (22 a 29 pontos) e "medo excessivo" (30 a 35 pontos) (PERES et al, 2021).…”

Este artigo busca analisar diferenças nas condições de vida e saúde das professoras principais provedoras do domicílio em comparação às coprovedoras, durante a pandemia de Covid-19. Trata-se de estudo transversal realizado em 2020, por meio de formulário on-line enviado aos professores da rede estadual de Minas Gerais. A variável dependente foi ser ou não a principal provedora da família (principal provedora vs. coprovedora) e as independentes foram agrupadas em sociodemográficas, ocupacionais, situação de saúde e comportamentos. Analisaram-se dados somente das mulheres e estimou-se a regressão logística. Entre as 12.817 professoras participantes, 47,2% declararam-se principais provedoras. Dentre elas, observou-se predomínio de mulheres mais velhas, que viviam sem companheiro(a), com filhos(as) e, no geral, apresentavam características que retrataram pior condição socioeconômica, maior acúmulo de trabalho e comportamentos menos saudáveis. Os resultados permitiram identificar desvantagens nas condições de vida e saúde das professoras principais provedoras financeiras de suas famílias em comparação às coprovedoras.
