{"abstract":"This study explored the work experiences, anxiety levels, and coping strategies of 100 medical and non-medical essential workers from Ilagan, Santiago, and Tuguegarao during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were grouped by sex, work location, nature of work, marital status, religion, educational attainment, and employment status. A mixed-methods approach utilized a semi-structured interview questionnaire and the 15-item Coronavirus Pandemic Anxiety Scale (CPAS 15). Results indicated that the majority of essential workers experienced severe anxiety. The pandemic significantly impacted their job performance, leading to changes in eating and sleeping patterns, fatigue, exhaustion, high mental stress, worry about family safety, overthinking, fear, and anxiety. Coping mechanisms primarily involved leisure activities and social support. Problem-focused coping included watching TV/movies, cooking, and gardening. Emotional coping involved talking with family/friends, spending time with family, and playing with children. Avoidance coping included sleeping, social media use, and alcohol consumption. Qualitative data from 10 front liners revealed four themes: personal appraisal of their role, physical/cognitive/socio-emotional impact, learning to cope, and appraisal of their social support system. The findings highlight the need for interventions to address mental health distress among frontline workers.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["Charibel Matalang"],"date":"2022-10-06","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.7152766","id":655,"issue":8,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"8996d9add3a018c926e8b276212adedd1a5cf8398a19d10afbf75dafc3ed9045","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Stories From the Frontline: Construals, Anxiety Level and Coping Strategies of Essential Workers During the Covid-19 Pandemic","volume":4}
