Abstract:
Objective To investigate the mediating effect of coping styles in the relationship between psychological resilience and psychological stress among ocean-going seafarers. Methods A total of 502 ocean-going seafarers were selected as the study subjects using the convenience sampling method. Psychological resilience, psychological stress, and coping styles were assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Military Psychological Stress Self-Assessment Scale and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. The structural equation modeling was performed using Amos 21.0 software to verify the mediating effect. Results The median and the 25th and 75th percentiles scores of psychological resilience, psychological stress, positive coping and negative coping among ocean-going sailors were 75.0 (58.0, 90.0), 47.8 (40.6, 55.6), 2.0 (1.6, 2.7), and 1.0 (0.5, 1.6) points, respectively. The scores of psychological resilience were negatively correlated with those of psychological stress and negative coping styles [Spearman correlation coefficients (rS) were -0.57 and -0.50, respectively, both P<0.01]. The scores of psychological resilience were positively correlated with those of positive coping styles (rS=0.57, P<0.01). The score of psychological stress was positively correlated with the score of negative coping style (rS=0.50, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with the score of positive coping style (rS=-0.44, P<0.01). The results of the structural equation model showed that psychological resilience directly affected psychological stress, with the direct effect accounting for 37.7% of the total effect. Psychological resilience indirectly affected psychological stress via positive and negative coping styles, with a total mediating effect accounting for 62.3% of the total effect, with the positive coping style and negative coping style accounting for 51.7% and 48.3% of the total mediating effect, respectively. Conclusion Coping styles play a parallel multiple mediating role in the relationship between psychological resilience and psychological stress among ocean-going seafarers.
