Coping with stress in times of pandemic: a booklet proposal
Keywords:
Self-regulation, Coping, Stress, Pandemics, Health psychologyAbstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major stressor. Emotional and behavioral self-regulation can change when there is a threat/challenge to the three basic psychological needs for competence, relatedness and autonomy. Psychological knowledge, especially the Motivational Theory of Coping, about processes of coping with stress and its consequences on physical and mental health supported the proposal of a booklet, aiming to assist in the health and well-being promotion. The material was assessed online by eight judges regarding their understanding of language, content and relevance. The final version has 16 pages, illustrated, organized in three sections: Introduction, Identifying stress responses and Coping strategies related to the basic psychological needs. For each of them, the Booklet presents three charts, pointing out “Difficulties”, “What to avoid”, “What can be done”, and space for notes. This translation of scientific knowledge into promotional and psychoeducational material can be useful for lay people and can be used in health services, and it is available on social media
