Article Synopsis
- The study explores how optimism, social support, and spirituality affect stress related to COVID-19 specifically within a Christian church community, highlighting a gap in existing research.
- Using a survey with 350 participants, the research employed various scales to measure these factors and their relationship to COVID-19 stress, analyzing the data through linear regression methods.
- Results indicated that low income, poor health, lower levels of optimism, social support, and spirituality contributed significantly to increased COVID-19 stress, suggesting the need for combined interventions addressing psychological, social, and spiritual well-being in stressful times.
As a way to modify both the physical and biological properties of a highly elastic and degradable polyurethane (PU), silk fibroin (SF) was blended with the PU at differing ratios. With increasing SF content, the tensile strength decreased as did the strain at break; the stiffness increased to around 35 MPa for the highest silk content. C2C12 (a mouse myoblast cell line) cells were used for in vitro experiments and showed significantly improved cell responses with increasing SF content.
