“…Covariates. Participants completed the single-item sleep quality scale (Snyder et al, 2018) and the eight-item Giessen Subjective Complaints List (Kliem et al, 2017), included as covariates to control for subjective health issues precipitated by pandemic-related stressors. Similar to Study 1, the six-item anxiety subscale of the BSI-18 (Derogatis, 2001) was administered to statistically control for symptoms of anxiety.…”

Physical and existential threats stemming from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may provoke religious/spiritual (R/S) struggles or exacerbate preexisting angst and questions. In the Global South, where pervasive social-structural disadvantages limit resource availability to mitigate psychosocial consequences, doubts about divine presence and purpose amidst suffering, loss, and uncertainty may be especially salient factors in spiritual and mental health. With two independent samples of Colombians and South Africans recruited during an early phase of lockdown in each country, the current set of studies (N Study 1 = 1,172; N Study 2 = 451) examined positive religious coping (Study 1) and state hope (Study 2) as potential resources that may support the mental health of people living in the Global South who experienced R/S struggles during the public health crisis. Results of hierarchical regression analyses across both studies revealed that R/S struggles were positively associated with depression. In Study 1, there was a two-way interaction between R/S struggles and positive religious coping, such that the relation between R/S struggles and depression was attenuated when positive religious coping was higher for both men and women. In Study 2, a three-way interaction emerged among R/S struggles, state hope, and gender; R/S struggles were associated with higher levels of depression when state hope was low in women and when state hope was high in men. We discuss the implications of these findings for promoting psychological and spiritual well-being in low-and middle-income countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Studies with adolescents confirm these associations, both crosssectionally and longitudinally [8][9][10]. The assessment of somatic symptom burden is highly relevant in the context of epidemiological research, as it is associated with reduced healthrelated quality of life and higher utilization of health care services [4][5]11]. The psychometric properties of the SSS-8 have been investigated in different studies [1,12] and the measurement instruments have been found to be reliable and valid.…”

“…Regarding construct validity, the following hypotheses were formulated: depression levels and anxiety levels should be higher in individuals with high subjective symptom strain [1,11]. Furthermore, subjective symptom strain should be higher in individuals with lower perceived social support scores [16].…”
