Overview

Cross-sectional study explores coping strategies predicting anxiety and depression in healthcare professionals, suggesting tailored interventions.

Key Points

  • To identify coping strategies, sociodemographic factors, and job-related variables that predict anxiety and depression among healthcare personnel.
  • Cross-sectional study involving 744 participants including physicians, nurses, and nursing assistants.
  • Utilized ordinary least squares estimator to assess relationships between coping strategies and mental health outcomes.
  • Coping strategies assessed included negative self-focus, positive reappraisal, open emotional expression, and social support.
  • Negative self-focus significantly associated with increased anxiety and depression (β = 0.42, p < 0.001).
  • Positive reappraisal linked to decreased anxiety and depression (β = −0.20, p < 0.001).
  • Absence of family responsibilities correlated with lower anxiety and depression levels (β = −0.11, p < 0.001).
