Responsibility and Challenge: Psychological Analysis of Covid-19 Information in a Journal of the.Czech Christian Academy.
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The purpose of the research is to analyse information about Covid-19 as it relates to religion in a Czech periodical Universum in the year 2020. We examine coping strategies to deal with the pandemic situation. Thematic analysis is used as a method. Five main themes are found: Challenge, Searching for the spiritual dimension of the crisis, Use of online space, Ineffective management of the pandemic by the Church, and Balancing different approaches. The disease is presented as a challenge to face and the published information gives the pandemic a spiritual dimension, but without apocalyptic fear. Spirituality has emerged as an adaptive coping mechanism to deal with the pandemic not only for practising believers.
