“…Positive factors of nurses in coping with stress related to prevention and control that include ‘hope’, ‘unity’, ‘patience’ and ‘sense of security’ are forms of stress‐related growth and are protective factors against the adverse effects of stress (Yıldırım & Arslan, 2021 ). Research shows that (Antebi‐Gruszka et al, 2021 ) positive reappraisal, social support and emotional expression are all related to greater stress‐related growth. Therefore, managers can promote nurses' stress‐related growth by praising and encouraging nurses, giving nurses enough support and listening to nurses' emotional expressions to better deal with epidemic prevention and control.…”

Aim: To explore the experiences of nurses' work stress related to COVID-19 regular epidemic prevention and control in China. Background:The global COVID-19 epidemic is still severe, and China's ongoing regular epidemic prevention and control still cannot be relaxed, which places demands on nurses.Methods: Thirty nurses and eight nurse managers were interviewed using semistructured in-depth interviews, and the data were analysed by the Colaizzi seven-step analysis method.Results: Four themes were extracted as follows: environmental factors, organizational factors, personal factors and positive factors in coping with stress.Conclusions: Nursing managers should pay attention to construction of the first-line departments of regular epidemic prevention and control. The shortage of nurses' human resources and the increase of nurse-patient conflicts are problems that need Xiumu Yang and Zhengfu Shen are co-correspondence of this article.

“…Studies have been done on stress-related growth in transgender women (Antebi-Gruszka et al, 2021) and growth after bouts of adversity in transgender people of color (Taube & Mussap, 2020). However, PTG is not a framework frequently applied to the transgender community.…”

“…In addition of the results of the 2015 USTS, multiple studies have demonstrated significant and disturbing levels of risk factors for those who identify as a gender minority such as transgender, bigender, genderqueer, nonbinary, and so forth For example, transgender folx repeatedly have been found to have alarmingly high levels of psychological distress, felt and enacted stigma, higher levels of minority stress, and lower levels of social support (Antebi-Gruszka et al, 2021;Budge et al, 2013;Dargie et al, 2014;Redcay et al, 2019Redcay et al, , 2020Reisner et al, 2014Reisner et al, , 2015Taube & Mussap, 2020).…”

This study examines the impact of a marginalized sexual orientation identity and gender identity on family support, socialization, spirituality, psychological distress, and suicide risk using secondary data analysis of the 2015 United States Transgender survey. Unique intragroup differences and vulnerabilities between those who identify as transgender and those who identify as transgender and genderqueer/nonbinary, and those who also identify with a marginalized sexual orientation were identified. Genderqueer/nonbinary individuals had lower rates of family support and higher rates of psychological distress when compared to transgender individuals. Genderqueer/nonbinary individuals had higher rates of socialization with the transgender community and lower rates of suicide risk, when compared with transgender individuals. Gender identity did not impact spirituality. Participants who reported a marginalized sexual orientation identity had significantly lower levels of family support, higher levels of psychological distress, were less likely to be spiritual but also had higher levels of socialization with the transgender community when compared with participants who reported a heterosexual identity. Sexual orientation did not impact suicide risk. This analysis presents novel insights indicating the presence of factors related to posttraumatic growth within the transgender community. Implications for practice, policy, and future research for those who identify as transgender and genderqueer/nonbinary, particularly related to risk and protective factors are discussed. Public Significance StatementThis study examines the impact of a marginalized sexual orientation identity and gender identity on family support, socialization, spirituality, psychological distress, and suicide risk using secondary data analysis of the 2015 United States Transgender survey. Findings include recommendations to facilitate posttraumatic growth and for further research specifically related to individuals who identify as both genderqueer/nonbinary and transgender.

“…More broadly, social support and community connectedness have also been found to promote stress-related growth (Bonet et al, 2007; Prati & Pietrantoni, 2009), which is experiencing positive personal change after a stress-related experience or adversity (Park et al, 1996). A study with transgender women found that social support showed the strongest association with stress-related growth, suggesting that having access to social support may facilitate experiencing positive change after stressful events (Antebi-Gruszka et al, 2021). In turn, stress-related growth has been associated with less internalized homophobia, anxiety symptoms, and HIV transmission risk behaviors among sexual and gender minority populations (Cox et al, 2011; Golub et al, 2010; Wang et al, 2016).…”

Transgender Latinas in the United States are an understudied and underserved community at high risk for negative health outcomes. This study used the Minority Stress Model as a framework to investigate the effects of transgender-specific distal minority stress processes and resilience factors on the mental health of transgender Latinas. We conducted a secondary analysis of Latina participants (weighted N = 1,363) from the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey (USTS), the largest and most recent national survey of transgender individuals. Participants completed a series of self-report measures online including indices of mental health, experiences of employment, discrimination and violence, and family-related factors among others. We hypothesized that participants would report high rates of the negative mental health outcomes (i.e., serious psychological distress, binge drinking/illicit drug use, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts); endorsement of distal minority stressors (i.e., employment status, general discrimination/ violence, housing discrimination, and discrimination/violence in places of public accommodation) would be associated with worse mental health outcomes; while endorsement of resilience factors (i.e., being out to family and family support) would be associated with positive mental health outcomes. As expected, weighted analyses indicated that participants who experienced discrimination/violence were more likely to report serious psychological distress, substance use, and suicidal behaviors. Generally, participants who were out to their family and had supportive families were less likely to report serious psychological distress and suicide attempts. Findings indicate that transgender-specific discrimination and violence negatively impact the mental health of transgender Latinas and familial resilience factors help mitigate these negative mental health effects. Public Significance StatementThis study investigated how distal minority stress processes and resilience factors impacted mental health outcomes among transgender Latinas. Our findings indicated that transgender-specific discrimination/violence (i.e., distal minority stress processes) predicted serious psychological distress, substance use, and suicidal behaviors, while being out to family and family support (i.e., resilience factors) served as protective factors against serious psychological distress and suicide attempts.
