Abstracts

PL

W artykule przeanalizowano związki między pasją pracy a poznawczymi strategiami radzenia sobie oraz ich rolę w występowaniu symptomów depresji, lęku i bezsenności podczas pandemii COVID-19 w populacji pracowników różnych sektorów zatrudnienia. Badanie przeprowadzono na próbie 317 pracowników. Wykorzystano Skalę pasji, Kwestionariusz poznaw-czej regulacji emocji, Kwestionariusz zdrowia pacjenta-9, Kwestionariusz lęku uogólnionego-7 oraz Ateń-ską skalę bezsenności. W badaniach potwierdzono, iż poznawcze strategie radzenia sobie mediują związki między pasją pracy a symptomami depresji, lęku i bezsenności. Pasja harmonijna pracy była związana z adaptacyjnymi po-znawczymi strategiami radzenia sobie (np. pozytywne przewartościowanie, koncentracja na planowaniu), które z kolei wiązały się z mniejszym nasileniem symptomów depresji, lęku i bezsenności. Natomiast pasja obsesyjna pracy wykazała pozytywny związek z nieadaptacyjnymi poznawczymi strategiami radzenia sobie (np. katastrofizowanie, ruminacja), co ostatecznie wiązało się z większym nasileniem symptomów depresji, lęku i bezsenności. Pasja harmonijna pracy wiązała się z niższym poziomem symptomów depresji, lęku i bezsenności poprzez stosowanie adaptacyjnych poznawczych strategii radzenia sobie, natomiast pasja obsesyjna pracy wiązała się z wyższym nasileniem uwzględnionych symptomów poprzez stosowanie nieadaptacyjnych poznaw-czych strategii radzenia sobie z pandemią COVID-19.

This study examines the relationships between work passion and cognitive coping strategies, and their relevance to the occurrence of depressive, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms during the COVID-19 pan-demic in the working population. The study was conducted on a total sample of 317 employees. The Passion Scale, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7, and the Athens Insomnia Scale were used. Study confirmed that cognitive coping strategies are a mediator in the relationship between work passion and the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. The harmonious work passion was associated with adaptive cognitive coping strategies (e.g., positive reappraisal, planning), which were associated with lower intensity of depressive, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms. The obsessive work passion, in turn, was associated positively with maladaptive cognitive coping strategies (e.g., catastrophizing, rumina-tion), which related to a greater intensity of depressive, anxiety and insomnia symptoms. Harmonious work passion is related to lower level of mental health symptoms through the use of adaptive cognitive coping strategies, while obsessive work passion is linked to a higher intensity of the negative symptoms through the use of maladaptive cognitive coping strategies used dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
