RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of self-efficacy and positive coping styles between nurses′ adversity quotient on work engagement, so as to provide a theoretical reference for nursing managers to promote work engagement.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 512 nurses from four tertiary hospitals in Shaanxi Province, and a cross-sectional study was conducted on them using the general information questionnaire, Adversity Response Profile, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9.Results:The total scores of nurses' adversity response profile, self-efficacy, positive coping style and work engagement were 132.00(120.00, 139.00), 27.00(23.00, 29.00), 24.00(20.00, 25.00), 27.00(25.00, 35.00) points. Nurses' work engagement was significantly positively correlated with adversity quotient, self-efficacy and positive coping styles( r values were 0.523-0.614, all P<0.01). The independent mediation of self-efficacy or positive coping styles and the chain mediation of both accounted for 23.6%,40.9% and 15.9% of the total effect respectively. Conclusions:Nurses′ adversity quotient not only directly affected work engagemnet, but also indirectly affected work engagement through self-efficacy and positive coping style. The research suggested that managers should pay attention to the improvement of nurses′ self-efficacy and positive coping style, so as to promote nurses′ work engagement.

RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the psychological distress, and examine the effects of acculturative stress, positive coping, and negative coping and their interaction on psychological distress among international students in China. Methods: Totally 373 international students were surveyed from central China [being in China of (2. 2 ± 1. 7) years, 248 males, and 125 females]. Psychological distress was measured with the short version of Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), acculturative stress was measured with the Acculturative Stress Scale for International Students (ASSIS), and positive coping (PC) and negative coping (NC) were measured with the Cope Inventory (COPE). Results: The average score of BSI-18 was (0. 66 ± 0. 72). The BSI-18 scores were positively correlated with the scores of ASSIS and NC (r = 0. 49, 0. 31, Ps ＜ 0. 001). Multiple regression showed that the scores of ASSIS, NC, and interaction of ASSIS and NC were positively correlated with the BSI-18 scores (β = 0. 43, 0. 19, 0. 26). Conclusion: Acculturative stress and negative coping are important related factors for psychological distress, and for students suffering higher acculturative stress, the effect of negative coping on psychological distress is larger.

The medical workers with higher monthly income and higher score of social support showed higher job stress( P < 0. 05). The medical workers with higher social support had lower job stress( P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: High job stress was found in the medical workers in primary and secondary schools in Guangzhou City. Positive coping styles and social supports has important role in relieving job stress of school medical workers.
RESUMEN
Este estudo teve por objetivo discutir a ausência de sintomas e quadros psicopatológicos em supostas vítimas de abuso sexual infantil, enfatizando o enfrentamento positivo deste tipo de violência. Para tanto, foram analisados 927 laudos do Departamento Médico-Legal do Rio Grande do Sul resultantes de perícias psiquiátricas e psicológicas. Observou-se a presença de sintomas e quadros psicopatológicos tanto nos laudos que apontavam evidências de ocorrência de abuso sexual como nos documentos sem evidências; assim como casos que apontavam a probabilidade de abuso, mas não apresentavam sintomatologia, indicando não haver uma relação direta entre estas variáveis. Aponta-se a necessidade de, na avaliação dos casos, considerar os recursos pessoais das vítimas, as estratégias de coping adaptativas, os fatores de proteção e os processos resilientes que contribuem para um desenvolvimento saudável.
This study aims to investigate the absence of symptomatology and psychopathology in children and adolescent victims of alleged sexual abuse, emphasizing the positive coping from this type of violence. Our research involved analyzing 927 psychological and psychiatric reports from the Department of Legal Medicine of Rio Grande do Sul. We observed symptoms and psychopathology in reports with and without evidence of sexual abuse occurring. At the same time, we observed cases without symptoms and psychopathology in reports with evidence of sexual abuse occurring, indicating that there is no direct relationship between these variables. We recognized the need to consider, in the evaluation of cases, the victims' personal resources, coping strategies, protection factors and resilient processes that contribute for a healthy development.
