Background:
In light of the persistent COVID-19 pandemic, there is a compelling imperative to enhance the COVID-19 coping capacity among middle-aged adults within the South Korean population. Consequently, there is a need for further research endeavors in this area.Objective:
This study aims to explore and identify the factors influencing the coping skills of middle-aged adults in COVID-19, South Korea.Methods:
This study used a cross-sectional descriptive design. Participants were 147 middle-aged adults living in Seoul, Geounggi-do, and Chungchung-do in South Korea. Data included demographics, coping skills, the impact of the event, perceived health status, psychological wellbeing, and family support. The data were analyzed using the SPSS Statistics 25.0 program. Data were collected from March to July 2020.Results:
The regression model was significant (F = 13.56, p < 0.001), and the adjusted R-squared representing the explanatory power of the model was 0.63. The strongest predictor was perceived health status (ß = 0.34), followed by family support (ß = 0.31), impact of event (ß = -0.24), underlying disease (ß = -0.13), and economic status (ß = 0.11).Conclusion:
