“…Stress has been measured both behaviorally and biologically in PWA. For example, Laures-Gore, Hamilton, & Matheny (2007) used the Coping Resources Inventory for Stress (Matheny, Curlette, Aycock, Pugh, & Taylor, 1987) and the PSS (14-item version; to examine self-reports of stress in participants with aphasia and neurotypical controls. Laures-Gore, Hamilton, & Matheny (2007) found an association between fewer coping resources and greater perceived stress for the participants with aphasia compared to control participants.…”

Purpose Chronic stress is likely a common experience among people with the language impairment of aphasia. Importantly, chronic stress reportedly alters the neural networks central to learning and memory—essential ingredients of aphasia rehabilitation. Before we can explore the influence of chronic stress on rehabilitation outcomes, we must be able to measure chronic stress in this population. The purpose of this study was to (a) modify a widely used measure of chronic stress (Perceived Stress Scale [PSS]; Cohen & Janicki-Deverts, 2012) to fit the communication needs of people with aphasia (PWA) and (b) validate the modified PSS (mPSS) with PWA. Method Following systematic modification of the PSS (with permission), 72 PWA completed the validation portion of the study. Each participant completed the mPSS, measures of depression, anxiety, and resilience, and provided a sample of the stress hormone cortisol extracted from the hair. Pearson's product–moment correlations were used to examine associations between mPSS scores and these measures. Approximately 30% of participants completed the mPSS 1 week later to establish test–retest reliability, analyzed using an interclass correlation coefficient. Results Significant positive correlations were evident between the reports of chronic stress and depression and anxiety. In addition, a significant inverse correlation was found between reports of chronic stress and resilience. The mPSS also showed evidence of test–retest reliability. No association was found between mPSS score and cortisol level. Conclusion Although questions remain about the biological correlates of chronic stress in people with poststroke aphasia, significant associations between chronic stress and several psychosocial variables provide evidence of validity of this emerging measure of chronic stress.

“…The CRIS was designed to measure coping resources and stress based on the results of extensive literature reviews. 39 Data on 700+ items from 3500+ subjects were analyzed to examine reliability, validity, factor structure, or bias. Based on the results of these analyses, the 280 items were selected and have been used as the CRIS.…”

Background: Many families coping with serious illness report experiencing financial burden, which negatively impacts coping and quality of life. Financial burden, however, is a complex construct that has been inconsistently operationalized in the literature. Aim: To review the available literature to identify, and describe the properties of, measurement tools or scales used to assess financial burden, including financial stress and strain, for families dealing with serious illness. Design: A systematic review. Data sources: Six databases were searched for articles published between 2006 and 2020. The review included studies in English, that reported empirical data, and used at least one measure of financial burden. To obtain a full copy of measures, an environmental scan was conducted. Results: A total of 31 measures were included. Only five of the total were designed for patient self-report, 23 of the total were designed for caregiver report. Whereas 11 measures relied on a single-item, 17 were multi-item. The remaining measures provided no information about target population and items. The most popular measures—based on Google Scholar citations—tended to only include one financial burden item. Given the complexity of financial burden, and its subjective and objective aspects, the utility of these single item measures remains questionable. Also, although patients may experience financial burden, there is a lack of patient-reported measures. Conclusion: To measure financial burden, we identified a need to develop and test multi-item measures, measures appropriate for patient populations and greater attention to the temporal aspects of self-report assessments.

“…Coping resources are personal (e.g., optimism, psychological control or mastery, self-esteem), social (e.g., social support) or other resources (e.g., financial freedom) available to individuals for managing stress and coping with adversity, which interact with coping processes [32,33]. COVID-19 survivors' psychosocial resources play an important role in coping with both the acute disease and the post-acute negative sequalae.…”

BACKGROUND The countries in Central and Eastern Europe have been among the most heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, which has been associated with death rates and excess mortality among the highest in the world. Among the long-term effects of COVID-19 is the post COVID-19 condition – a prolonged form of the disease characterized by a variety of physical and psychological symptoms, which can last for more than 2 years and is associated with the severity of acute COVID-19 as a main risk factor. A positive long-term COVID-19 outcome is post-traumatic growth, occurred in response to the highly challenging life circumstances and traumatic experiences during the pandemic. COVID-19 survivors’ personal, social and other resources play an important role in coping with acute disease and post-acute negative sequalae and contribute to the development of post-traumatic growth. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to qualitatively explore the experiences of severe or critical COVID-19 adult survivors throughout the acute and post-acute period in the region of Central and Eastern Europe in terms of: negative long-term post-COVID effects (physical and psychological symptoms); positive long-term post-COVID effects (post-traumatic growth); the role of survivors’ personal, social and other coping resources; the role of the local sociocultural context and local epidemic-related situations in the participating countries. METHODS In-depth semi-structured interviews with adult severe and critical COVID-19 survivors are conducted in the period post hospital discharge. Participants are enrolled based on self-reported severe or critical acute COVID-19 disease, defined in accordance with clinical classifications of COVID-19 severity as COVID-19 hospitalization or ICU treatment. The questionnaire follows the experiences of survivors across the trajectory of disease, from pre-infection COVID-19 attitudes to first symptoms, hospitalization, recovery, and post-discharge adjustment. Interviews are conducted in person, through videoconferencing or telephone, audio-taped and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative data are analyzed through thematic analysis in two stages. In stage 1, analysis of each national dataset in the national language is done. In stage 2, the national analyses will be collated. Based on the cross-national analysis, conclusions about the Central and Eastern European region will be drawn. RESULTS As of January 2024, data collection is completed in Bulgaria (N=33), Slovakia (N=30), and Romania (N=30) and is ongoing in Croatia and Poland. Analyses of the national datasets are currently underway. Papers based on the national results have been submitted. Cross-national analyses have started in 2024. CONCLUSIONS The study provides insight into COVID-19 survivors’ experiences in the under-researched region of Central and Eastern Europe, enabling better understanding of their needs for care and support and allowing for the development of socioculturally appropriate tailored approaches to providing support for coping with the post COVID-19 condition and associated difficulties and to implementing interventions to facilitate post-traumatic growth.
