OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between psychosocial strengths
(resilience, self-efficacy beliefs and social support) and perceived severity of
COVID-19 and also to gauge the mediating role of self-control among frontline
health care professionals of Pakistan. METHODS: A cross-sectional research design
was utilized from March to April 2020 from one medical teaching hospital of South
Punjab. As it was a single center experience so all the doctors were approached
and asked to participate in this research. In total, 284 doctors (out of 300
approx.) completed online survey. The data were collected through online google
forms consisting of self-report measures i.e. Brief Resilience Scale, Short
General Self Efficacy Scale, Brief Scale for Social Support, Risk Behavior
Diagnostic Scale and Brief Self-Control Scale. RESULTS: The results were analyzed
by using SmartPLS (3.0), direct effect of psychosocial strengths on perceived
severity of COVID-19 and indirect effect of self-control were assessed through
path coefficients, t-values and r-square values. The results confirmed that there
was significant negative relationship between psychosocial strengths and
perceived severity of COVID-19 (? = -0.854, t =14.279) with 72% variance in
perceived severity due to psychosocial strengths. Further, the results also
suggest that self-control proved significant mediator between psychosocial
strengths and perceived severity (? = -0.604, t = 11.004, variance in perceived
severity is 74%). CONCLUSION: In the time of pandemic, medical professionals are
working as frontline force and can have several uncertainties regarding the risk
associated with outbreak of COVID-19. This study concludes psychosocial strengths
can play a significant role in subsiding the risk associated with severity of
disease. Whereas, self-control can significantly contribute to buffer the
negative influence of COVID-19 among frontline medical professionals. In line
with findings of this study, there is a dire need to initiate psychotherapeutic
studies for medical professionals to boost up their psychosocial strengths that
would make them resilient against COVID-19.
