A person-centred approach to COVID-19 pandemic-related stressors.

INTRODUCTION
The COVID-19 pandemic and resultant containment effects has had a detrimental effect on individuals' social, occupational and financial circumstances. Taking a person-centred approach to inquiry and data analysis, we sought to identify classes (or segments) of employees with distinct configurations of responses across several pandemic-related stressors. We also investigated purported risk and resilience factors of membership in these classes.


METHODS
We analyzed data from 4277 employees who completed a pulse survey in August 2020, using latent class analysis to identify classes of employees with unique patterns of responses across six pandemic-related stressors. We also conducted a multinomial logistic regression analysis to explore the associations between several risk and resilience factors (e.g. age, gender, perceived organizational support) and class membership, and we compared the emergent classes' levels of self-reported mental health.


RESULTS
The data revealed four unique classes of employees: "adapting," "conflicted," "insecure" and " stressed" (30%, 35%, 21% and 14% of the sample, respectively). All of the risk and resilience factors were associated with being in the adapting class versus the other classes. The adapting employees also showed the most positive self-reported mental health relative to their counterparts.


CONCLUSION
By identifying classes of employees with distinct configurations of pandemic-related stressors, as well as differential risk factors and levels of self-reported mental health, the present study offers a starting point for informing work-related interventions with the goal of helping employees most vulnerable to pandemic-related stressors effectively cope with these stressors.
