ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 crisis generated subjective and physiological stress, with important interindividual differences. Studies have shown that coping strategies sex modulate although their effects on stress hormones been overlooked. In addition, it remains unknown whether interact to predict these metrics during long‐term stressful events. To examine the impact of strategies, sex, interaction indicators year following arrival virus. Coping were assessed using Brief COPE questionnaire in May 2020. Stress symptoms as a indicator every 3 months (June 2020 March 2021) Perceived Scale 155 participants (49 men). Of individuals, 111 provided 6‐cm hair sample June estimate cortisol levels before first lockdown. A factor analysis identified three clusters strategies: positive‐oriented, avoidance‐oriented, social support. For linear‐mixed model showed women reported more than men.

This study explored the role self-forgiveness such transgressions in explaining their associations with psychological well-being family conflict. We hypothesized that (a) higher levels would be associated greater reduced conflict, (b) perceived relevance positively indirectly conflict through mediation self-forgiveness, (c) relationships between variables interest could vary across age. Adults (N = 277; M age 30.04) completed anonymous online questionnaires assessing committed, forgiveness unforgiveness self, well-being, during first lockdown Italy. Structural equation modeling revealed transgression was both related via self-forgiveness. Greater self eudaimonic whereas linked increased well-being. findings also indicated moderated relationship hedonic association weakening as increased. results highlight importance promoting enhance resilience familial stability, particularly challenging times.

Working from home (WFH) has become common place since the Covid-19 pandemic. Early studies observed population-level shifts in sleep patterns (later and longer sleep) physical activity (reduced PA), during confinement. Other found these changes to depend on proportion of days that individuals WFH (vs. work office; WFO). Here, we examined effects transition normality later stages pandemic (Aug 2021-Jan 2022).Two-hundred twenty-five working adults enrolled a public health study were followed for 22 weeks. Sleep data collected with consumer fitness tracker (Fitbit Versa 2). Over three 2-week periods (Phase 1/week 1-2: August 16-29, 2021; Phase 2/week 11-12: October 25-November 7, 3/week 21-22: January 3-16, 2022), participants provided daily Fitbit records. Additionally, they completed phone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA), providing ratings quality, wellbeing (mood, stress, motivation), information arrangements (WFH, WFO, no work). Work arrangement used examine vs. WFO sleep, activity, wellbeing.The fluctuated over measurement periods, mirroring evolving Covid restrictions.

Abstract Study Objectives The study aimed to characterize insomnia symptom trajectories over 12 months during a time of stress and uncertainty, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It also investigate sleep psychological predictors persistent symptoms. Methods This longitudinal cohort comprised 2069 participants with without symptoms first year Participants completed online surveys investigating sleep, insomnia, mental health at four timepoints (April 2020–May 2021). Additional trait-level cognitive/psychological questionnaires were administered 3 only. Results Six distinct classes emerged: (1) severe (21.65%), (2) moderate (32.62%), (3) good (32.82%), (4) baseline but remitting (2.27%), (5) (7.78%), (6) deteriorating into (2.85%). Persistent predicted by high levels reactivity, effort, pre-sleep cognitive arousal, depressive baseline. A combination reactivity effort reduced odds remitting. Higher deterioration months. Lastly, intolerance uncertainty emerged as only predictor trajectory classes. Conclusions Insomnia was more likely persist than remit COVID-19 Addressing appears critical for reducing persistence rates after times uncertainty.
