Abstract |
|
|
| This research
discusses
the level of suffering experienced by the women surveyed during economic crises, and the
significance of the relationship between certain characteristics of the studied women and their degree of employing coping mechanisms. A regression model was used to examine the relationship between these characteristics and the degree to which the women employed coping mechanisms during economic crises. The study included 352 housewives. Using frequencies, percentages, arithmetic mean and standard deviation, Cronbachs alpha coefficient, simple correlation (Pearsons test), t-tests, F-tests, multiple correlation coefficients, and standardized partial regression in data analysis, the statistical analyses revealed the following percentages: 66.2%, 81.3%, 81.5%, and 78.1%. The respondents showed a low to medium level of engagement with coping mechanisms represented by: (spending, income, self-reliance, external factors). Significant differences were found based on the employment status of the woman and her husband, as those who did not work, along with their husbands and members of the simple family, showed higher scores. In addition, monthly family income, exposure to information sources, informal social participation, and the degree to which the woman suffered from economic crises contributed positively to the variation in coping mechanisms. Our approach is based on presenting a true picture of the current situation. It also provides an accurate scientific resource for decision-makers in rural communities to address problems within rural households and to identify appropriate intervention methods, proposals, and programs aimed at helping them meet the needs of their members and reach a stage of adaptation to prevailing economic conditions and crises, thus ensuring their greatest achievement. Achieving the greatest possible number of its goals and emerging with the least possible losses on the
psychological, social, and economic levels, and establishing sustainable livelihoods. |
