Psychological Adaptation to spousal bereavement in old age: The role of trait resilience, marital history, and context of death.
Death Studies, 2016Co-Authors: Stefanie Spahni, Kate M Bennett, Pasqualina Perrig-chielloAbstract:ABSTRACTThis research examined the effect of marital status and gender on various indicators of Psychological Adaptation, namely depressive symptoms, loneliness, and life satisfaction. It further explores the role of trait resilience, marital history, and context of death for predicting these outcomes in bereaved individuals. Four hundred eighty widowed individuals aged between 60 and 89 were compared with 759 married peers. Main effects were found for marital status and gender for all indicators. The regression analyses illustrate the multifaceted structure of Psychological Adaptation. Trait resilience is a key factor in adapting to spousal bereavement, whereas marital history and the context are secondary.

patterns of Psychological Adaptation to spousal bereavement in old age
Gerontology, 2015Co-Authors: Stefanie Spahni, Davide Morselli, Pasqualina Perrigchiello, Kate M BennettAbstract:Background: While the negative effects of spousal bereavement on well-being are well documented in empirical research, the large individual differences in Psychological Adaptation are still not well understood. Objective: This contribution aims to identify patterns of Psychological Adaptation to spousal loss in old age and to shed light on the role of intra- and interpersonal resources and contextual factors as discriminant variables among these patterns. Methods: The data stem from a cross-sectional questionnaire study of 402 widowed individuals (228 women, 174 men) aged between 60 and 89 years (mean age 74.41 years), who lost their partner within the last 5 years, and 618 married individuals, who served as controls (312 women, 306 men; mean age 73.82 years). Results: The exploratory latent profile analysis of the well-being outcomes of depressive symptoms, hopelessness, loneliness, life satisfaction and subjective health revealed three different groups in the widowed sample: ‘resilients' (54% of the sample), ‘copers' (39%) and ‘vulnerables' (7%). The most important variables for group allocation were intrapersonal resources - Psychological resilience and the Big Five personality traits - but also the quality of the former relationship and how the loss was experienced. Conclusion: Successful Adaptation to spousal loss is primarily associated with high scores in Psychological resilience and extraversion and low scores in neuroticism. Our results shed light on the variability in Psychological Adaptation and underline the important role of intrapersonal resources in facing spousal loss in old age.

the data on Psychological Adaptation during polar winter overs in sub antarctic and antarctic stations
Data in Brief, 2020Co-Authors: Michel Nicolas, Guillaume Martinent, Peter Suedfeld, Marvin GaudinoAbstract:Abstract The data presented in this article relate to the research article entitled “assessing Psychological Adaptation during polar winter-overs: The isolated and confined environments questionnaire (ICE-Q)” [1]. These data were acquired in order to develop a standardized instrument – the ICE-Q – designed to assess Psychological Adaptation within isolated, confined, and extreme environments. A total of 140 winterers from several sub-Antarctic (Amsterdam, Crozet, Kerguelen) and Antarctic (Concordia, Terre Adelie) stations voluntarily participated. Data were collected by multiple self-report questionnaires including a wide variety of well-known and validated questionnaires to record the winterers’ responses to polar stations. Data were gathered across two or three winter seasons within each of the 5 polar stations to ensure sufficiently large sample. From four to seven measurement time along a one-year period were proposed to the participants, resulting in 479 momentary assessments. Results of exploratory factor analyses, confirmatory factor analyses, exploratory structural equation modelling, reliability analyses, and test-retest provided strong evidence for the construct validity of the ICE-Q (19–item 4-factor questionnaire). The four factors were social, emotional, occupational and physical. Future studies would examine the dynamic of Psychological Adaptation in isolated, confined and/or extreme environments during polar missions.

assessing Psychological Adaptation during polar winter overs the isolated and confined environments questionnaire ice q
Journal of Environmental Psychology, 2019Co-Authors: Michel Nicolas, Guillaume Martinent, Peter Suedfeld, Marvin GaudinoAbstract:Abstract Stressors in Isolated, Confined, Extreme environments (ICE environments) pose important challenges to Psychological Adaptation, whose assessment is therefore an important research issue. This article describes a standardized instrument, the ICE-Q, to help evaluate individual differences in Adaptation to ICE environments. Several groups (n = 140), each spending one year in sub-Antarctic or Antarctic stations, completed a questionnaire. Factor analyses provided strong evidence for the construct validity of the ICE-Q. The most salient factors were (a) social (e.g., relationships, social support), (b) emotional (e.g., emotional changes, boredom) (c) occupational (e.g., level of investment in work and leisure activities), and (d) physical (e.g., fatigue, well-being). Complementing other methods, this short, quick, cost-effective and non-invasive measure could serve to (1) monitor Psychological Adaptation within the four key domains, and (2) assess methods used to facilitate Adaptation to extreme situations and enhance the health and well-being of participants.

"Sehati" health education to improve physical and Psychological Adaptation of the postpartum women having pre-eclampsia.
Enfermería Clínica, 2019Co-Authors: Endah Ekawati, Setyowati Setyowati, Tri BudiatiAbstract:Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine the influence of “Sehati” Health Education on physical and Psychological Adaptation of pre-eclamptic postpartum women. Method We used a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test with control group study design. We recruited 60 postpartum mothers in Banyumas and Purbalingga, Indonesia, selected with consecutive sampling. “Sehati” health education and home visits were provided for the intervention group. Data were collected using the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale (PSAS) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) questionnaires. Results There were significant differences in physical and Psychological Adaptation before and after the health education (p = 0.039; p = 0.007, respectively) in the intervention group. There were also significant physiological and Psychological Adaptation differences between groups after the intervention (p = 0.018; p = 0.004). The results of logistic regression analysis demonstrated that “Sehati” health education had a dominant effect on postpartum physiological Adaptation with an OR score: 5.114 (95% CI: 1.498–17.465) and on postpartum Psychological Adaptation with an OR score: 6.671 (95% CI: 1.890–19.043). Conclusion “Sehati” health education influenced the physiological and Psychological adaptability of pre-eclamptic postpartum women. It could be provided as a nursing intervention to assist postpartum women with pre-eclampsia.
