Teachers' Occupational Stress Coping Strategies and their Personality Characteristics
Chinese journal of clinical psychology, 2002Co-Authors: Cui Yan-liAbstract:Objective: To investigate the relationship between stress Coping Strategies and personality characteristics in teachers. Methods: Big-five factor inventory and teachers' Coping strategy scale were administrated to 235 primary and secondary teachers. Results:Factor analysis revealed that there were three types of Strategies in Coping with occupational stress: active, passive, and self-control. Correlation analysis showed significant positive correlation between active Coping Strategies and extraversion significant positive correlations between passive Coping Strategies and neuroticism, and negative correlations between passive Coping Strategies and agreeableness, as well as significant negative correlation between self-control Coping Strategies and neuroticism. Meanwhile, significant positive correlations among self-control Coping Strategies, extraversion, agreeableness and consciousness were found. Conclusion:Teachers' Coping Strategies are correlated with their personality characteristics. Different personalities predict different Coping Strategies.

dirty work dirty worker stigmatisation and Coping Strategies among domestic workers
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2016Co-Authors: Kim Bosmans, Sarah Mousaid, Nele De Cuyper, Stefan Hardonk, Freddy Louckx, Christophe VanroelenAbstract:Abstract Domestic work can be perceived to be ‘dirty work’ in several ways: it is associated with dirt handling, low occupational prestige, and domestic workers have a servile relationship to their clients/employers. This stigma may negatively affect domestic workers' sense of self, and thus Coping Strategies appear to be critical. In this article, we explore the Coping Strategies that moderate the relation between the stigma of dirty work and domestic workers' sense of self, based on the analyses of 43 interviews with domestic workers in Belgium. By using a social stress approach in which stigma is considered a stressor, our results reveal a range of maladaptive and adaptive Coping Strategies that contribute to a negative or a more positive sense of self. Four main categories of Coping Strategies are discussed: confronting or countering perceptions and behaviours, occupational ideologies, social weighting and defensive tactics. The first two categories are adaptive Coping Strategies; the last two can be adaptive or maladaptive. We also reveal that workers used adaptive and maladaptive Coping Strategies simultaneously, leading to mixed implications for their sense of self.

Coping Strategies in PTSD
Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, 1997Co-Authors: Mikloš Biro, Zdenka Novović, Vesna GavrilovAbstract:The aim of this study is to analyse the type of Coping Strategies used by patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSI)). For that purpose, two groups of war veterans (40 subjects in each group) were compared. The first group was made up of patients with PTSD, and the second (control) group comprised veterans who suffered combat trauma, but did not show any PTSD symptoms. Coping Strategies were assessed using the Questionnaire of Coping Responses (McCrae, 1984). The results show that out of 118 items (examples of Coping Strategies) 10 show statistically significant differences between the group with PTSI) and the one without it. PTSD patients used more maladaptive Strategies (avoidance, pseudo-planning, fantasizing, impulsive and depressive behaviour), while subjects from the control group were more likely to use the strategy of controlling impulses.

Coping Strategies in parents of children with cancer
Social science & medicine (1982), 2005Co-Authors: Annika Lindahl Norberg, Frank Lindblad, Krister K. BomanAbstract:This study examined 395 parents (224 mothers and 171 fathers) of children with cancer in Sweden in terms of Coping, assessed using the Utrecht Coping List. The use of each of seven Coping Strategies among parents of children with cancer was compared with data from parents of children with no serious or chronic diseases. In addition, the relationship between Coping Strategies and anxiety/depression was examined. No differences in the frequency of using the seven Coping Strategies were found between the study group and the reference group. Neither did the use of Coping Strategies differ among parents of children with various types of cancer, nor among parents at various points in time after the child's cancer diagnosis. A more frequent use of active problem-focusing, and a less frequent use of avoidance behaviour and passive reaction pattern, was related to lower levels of anxiety and depression in parents of children with cancer and in reference parents. Analyses of parents of children at different time points after diagnosis and in different diagnostic groups indicated that contextual demands influence the relation between Coping and anxiety/depression.

Pain Coping Strategies in children with cerebral palsy
Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2018Co-Authors: Emmanuelle Chaléat-valayer, F. Roumenoff, R. Bard-pondarré, Lucet, Jean-claude BernardAbstract:Introduction/Background To describe Coping Strategies in children and adolescents with CP, and determine the effect of age on choice of strategy. Material and method Patients were recruited from two pediatric rehabilitation centers in France. The Pediatric pain and Coping inventory - French (PPCI-F) and structured pain questionnaire (SPQ) were completed by an experienced professional with each child. Results One hundred and forty-two patients were included (median age: 12, 5–19 years; 57% boys). Comparison of the means from the 4 factorial scales showed that children with CP generally used fewer Coping Strategies than TD children (seeking social support: 12.47 versus 12.85; cognitive self-instruction: 9.28 vs. 10.90; distraction: 4.89 vs. 7.00; seeking effectiveness: 4.43 vs. 5.19). Some Coping Strategies used by the children with CP depended on age (decrease in seeking social support and increase in cognitive self-instruction with age), while others did not (seeking effectiveness and distraction). The Strategies were also influenced by GMFCS level (P = 0.01), history of surgery (P Conclusion Children with CP generally use fewer Coping Strategies than TD children although similarly to TD children, they mostly look for social support to cope with pain. Even if past experiences of pain suggest that Coping Strategies need to be changed, active Coping Strategies were only used in older children and remained less used than by TD children of the same age.
