    (Frontiers Media SA, 2026) Aksakal, Nalan; Örnek, Serda; Erkan, Mert; Terekli, Mustafa Serdar; Besiktas, Murat Yalcin
    Background and objective Coaching efficacy is a key psychological resource influencing coaches' professional effectiveness and leadership behaviors in sports. Identifying individual characteristics that contribute to coaching efficacy is especially important in high-demand sports like wrestling. This study aimed to examine relationships between self-efficacy, psychological resilience, and proactive personality among wrestling coaches, and to determine the predictive roles of resilience and proactive personality on coaching self-efficacy. Methods A quantitative relational survey design was employed. The sample included 116 active wrestling coaches from Eskişehir, Kütahya, Tokat, and Konya. Data were collected using the Coaching Efficacy Scale II, Psychological Resilience Scale III-R, and Short Proactive Personality Scale, all adapted into Turkish. Analyses were performed with SPSS 23.0, including Pearson correlation, multiple regression, one-way ANOVA. Results Significant positive relationships were found between coaching self-efficacy, psychological resilience, and proactive personality. Multiple regression analysis indicated that psychological resilience (beta = .42) and proactive personality (beta = .38) significantly predicted coaching self-efficacy, collectively explaining 46% of the variance (R = .68, R-2 = .46, p < .001). Conclusion Enhancing psychological resilience and proactive personality is crucial for strengthening wrestling coaches' self-efficacy perceptions. Improving these psychological resources can enhance professional effectiveness, leadership behaviors, and positively influence athletes. These findings offer valuable implications for coach education programs and applied sport psychology interventions.

    Relationship Between Resilience, Secondary Traumatic Stress and Work-Related Factors Among Mental Health Professionals
    (Kare Publ, 2025) Dikec, Gul; Tokatlıoglu, Tugba Sahın; Çetinkaya, Saadet; Yasar, Saadet
    Objectives: Resilience is the ability to maintain or rapidly recover mental health under stress. Mental health profes- sionals are often exposed to workplace stress through violence, emotional labor, restrictions, and traumatic stories. Secondary traumatic stress results from being affected by others’ traumatic experiences. Examining the relationship between resilience and secondary traumatic stress among mental health professionals is therefore essential. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between February and April 2022. Data were collected using the Per- sonal Information Form, the Resilience Scale for Adults, and the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale. Participants included 212 psychiatric and mental health nurses, 28 psychiatrists, 14 psychologists, and six social workers. Results: A significant positive relationship was found between resilience and secondary traumatic stress. The regres- sion model, including secondary traumatic stress, gender, educational status, willingness to work in mental health, job satisfaction, and unit of work, significantly predicted resilience. Conclusion: Secondary traumatic stress and work-related factors, such as willingness and satisfaction with working in mental health and the unit of work, were found to play an essential role in resilience. Institutional support and supervision may strengthen resilience, while reducing secondary traumatic stress can enhance motivation and well- being. Institutions are recommended to implement strategies that address these factors to improve both resilience and professional effectiveness.

    Social Loneliness and Perceived Stress Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults During the Covid-19 Pandemic
    (Springer, 2024) Ozdemir, Petek Akman; Celen, Hacer Nermin
    Older age has been considered a risk factor for physical and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet many middle-aged and older adults showed resilience. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the protective factors against social loneliness and perceived stress among Turkish middle-aged and older adults. The data were collected from 464 adults aged 55 and above when the curfew restrictions were still in place. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that resilience, life satisfaction, self-esteem, satisfaction with social support and internet use negatively predicted both social loneliness and stress. The extent of curfew measures, which were more restrictive for the elderly, did not predict social loneliness and stress. The participants living alone showed higher social loneliness and those with chronic disease reported more stress. Results highlight the significant role of protective factors in enhancing well-being and coping in old age under highly stressful situations such as the pandemic.
