Abstract:
Introduction: The negative stigmatization of
COVID-19 in healthcare has caused psychosocial
problems, including stress. An effective coping strategy
is needed to overcome existing problems. This study
aimed to determine healthcare providers’ coping
strategies and the social stigma about COVID-19 using
Roy’s adaptation model approach and its influencing
factors.
Methods: The design used descriptive analysis with
incidental sides, so the total sample size was 530
with accidental sampling. The instrument used was the Brief Cope Inventory, and the data were analyzed
using a descriptive statistical test.
Results: The results showed that the median emotion-
focused mean was 3.00, with the lowest mean number
being 1.50 and the highest being 3.70. The median
problem-focused mean was 3.17, with the lowest mean
number being 2.00 and the highest number being 4.00.
The median dysfunctional was 3.08, with the lowest
mean being 1.75 and the highest number being 3.75.
The proportion of coping strategies is mostly problem-
focused at 62.8 %, emotion-focused at 21.5 %, and
dysfunctional at 15.7 %.
Conclusion: Problem-focused coping involves active
efforts to change or reduce sources of stressors as well
as individuals tend to research causal relationships,
plan, act, and adapt to stressful situations by acting
directly on themselves or the environment. Someone
who uses problem-focused coping is a form of adaptive
adaptation.
