Nevertheless, notwithstanding the World Health Organization\u2019s proclamation regarding the conclusion of the pandemic, instances of COVID-19 continue to be recorded globally, alongside the emergence of new threats such as Nipah and Mpox. The majority of research efforts have predominantly concentrated on the general population and at-risk populations, thereby creating a deficiency in comprehending the coping strategies employed by COVID-19 survivors who encountered numerous risks throughout the pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims and Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This investigation sought to rectify this gap by analyzing the influences of social support, familial support, and economic safety in predicting coping mechanisms among COVID-19 survivors in Kerala, India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using snowball sampling, data were collected from 427 COVID-19 survivors (Mean age = 28.8, Male = 54.56%, Bachelor\u2019s degree=56.90%) through an online survey. The participants completed self-reported measures of coping styles, family support, social support, and economic safety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that social support and family support significantly predicted both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping among COVID-19 survivors. Additionally, being male and experiencing low economic safety were associated with avoidance coping.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings of this study underscore the importance of robust community and family support for individuals facing significant adversity. Along with the ongoing COVID-19 cases and the emergence of new health threats such as Nipah and Mpox highlight the continued relevance of effective coping mechanisms. Interventions focusing on family-centered crisis management should be prioritized, especially for family heads during crises such as pandemics, natural disasters, and social emergencies. Given their critical role in the well-being of their families, strengthening family and community support systems remains essential for enhancing resilience and effective coping among survivors of COVID-19 and other emerging health threats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/aam.aam_792_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,15]],"date-time":"2026-05-15T13:00:32Z","timestamp":1778850032000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Beyond the Pandemic: Predicting Coping Styles in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Survivors Facing Health Threats"],"prefix":"10.4103","author":[{"given":"Lijo Kochakadan","family":"Joy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Rajagiri College of Social Sciences (Autonomous), Kochi, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kusum Mary","family":"George","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Rajagiri College of Social Sciences (Autonomous), Kochi, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lincy Eralil","family":"Kunjumon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Librarian, Rajagiri College of Social Sciences (Autonomous), Kochi, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.
