 The current study found that women experience higher levels of anxiety than men, and men are more likely to use problem-focused coping strategies compared to women. Additionally, the study showed that any level of anxiety increases the risk of hopelessness, and problem-focused coping strategies have a negative effect on hopelessness. These findings suggest that it is important to provide people with pre-prepared mental health protocols during a crisis and to focus on problem-focused coping strategies, particularly among women.
