Coping with stress during the COVID-19 pandemic in the oldest-old population.

The aim of the study is to investigate psychosocial factors that are associated with positive and negative coping with stress, as well as with worries about and perceived threat by COVID-19 to enable us to provide adequate support for oldest-old individuals. A paper-pencil-based survey assessed COVID-19 worries and perceived threat, depression, anxiety, somatization, social support, loneliness, resilience, positive and negative coping in a sample of  = 197 oldest-old individuals (78-100 years). Linear multivariate and binary logistic regression analyses were conducted.
