The Role of Spirituality in Coping with the Psychological Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased mortality rates and exposed individuals to profound psychological challenges, particularly those related to loss, grief, and death. This qualitative interpretive study explored how spirituality and religion influenced coping mechanisms during the pandemic in Sandton, South Africa. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten purposively selected participants ( N = 10). The findings indicate that…
The adverse financial and psychological impact of Covid-19 on household heads in South Africa
The impact of the pandemic has diminished, and while it is still present, it no longer causes the same degree of societal disruption as before. The nature of this disruption has also shifted. Considering the psychosocial and economic disruption triggered by COVID-19, this study explores the adverse financial consequences of COVID-19 restrictions and its mental health impact on household heads. The study employed a quantitative cross-sectional sur…
Exploring Psychosocial Stressors and Coping Strategies During the Covid‐19 Lockdown
The COVID‐19 pandemic has introduced significant challenges worldwide, leading to the reshaping of societal dynamics. These challenges are in the form of psychosocial consequences on community members’ everyday lives. This study aims to explore the psychological factors, particularly psychosocial stressors and coping strategies influencing the two low‐income communities during COVID‐19 lockdowns. A qualitative community case study design was used…
A Collaborative Autoethnography of Emotional Labour and the Role of Compassion in Community-Engaged Participatory Action Research
Emotional labour (EL) is an integral and inextricable, organic aspect of human interaction and research. This paper offers the reflections of activist researchers on the nuances of EL and compassion when conducting community-engaged participatory action research in low-income settings. The authors employed critical collaborative autoethnography and reflexivity to disentangle their reflections on EL. The results comprise their testimonials (journa…
The converging influence of social, economic and psychological factors on public responsiveness to the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa
Strengthening the South African population's responsiveness to the pandemic requires supporting those living in poor socioeconomic circumstances, promoting trust in the scientific evidence, and ensuring that the measures by government are perceived to be fairly implemented and fairly enforced by the police. Due to the impact on livelihoods, restrictions of movement should only be considered if necessary, and this will require trust and confidence…
Three Pathways for Enlarging Critical African Psychology
Departing from the position that critical African psychology is an endeavour whose objective is to harness psychological knowledge in, by, for, and with Africa, as well as the world, but also to critically think Africa into psychology, this article considers space as a key idea to consider in the further development of African psychology, and more specifically, a critically inclined African psychology. Taking critical African psychology as one of…
Community asset mapping as an action research strategy for developing an interpersonal violence prevention programme in South Africa
The aim of this article was to report and critically reflect on community asset mapping processes used to develop a contextually valid interpersonal violence prevention programme in South Africa to promote positive forms of masculinity, safety and peace. This study was informed by a critical public health framework, and was guided by the values and principles of community-based participatory action research. The research and action methods used i…
The role of religious leaders in anti-Apartheid mobilisation
This study examines how South African religious leaders mobilised spiritual capacity and religious assets to resist and fight against state and structural violence during the 1970s and 1980s. Document analysis and qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with six key informants who were directly or indirectly involved in an interfaith Peace March in 1989 in Cape Town. Our analysis was aimed at identifying and understanding the factors, whic…
Community‐based Participatory Research as a Critical Enactment of Community Psychology
South Africa's history of colonization, expressed particularly through the violent system of apartheid, calls for participatory approaches to research and practice that aim to decolonize knowledge construction, transform modes of community engagement, and address dominant power relations. This article reflects on how these challenges are addressed in the Spiritual Capacity and Religious Assets for Transforming Community Health through mobilising …
Community-Based Participatory Research a Low-Income Setting
This article describes a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach in a low-income setting. Using the SCRATCHMAPS project as a case example and with literature control, we show that CBPR is influenced by dynamics relating to knowledge and power, resources and power, participation and power, as well as community dynamics and research methodology. We conclude that the CBPR approach offers a number of opportunities to conduct rigorous a…
Evaluating the Construct Validity of the Kidscreen-52 Quality of Life Questionnaire within a South African Context
The absence of a suitable measure to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and adolescents in South Africa, led to the use of the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire, which was developed and standardised in Europe. The current study is part of a broader study conducted in the Western Cape, which used the KIDSCREEN-52 to explore the influence of exposure to community violence on the subjective HRQoL of a sample of South African adol…
