This study was conducted to examine the relationship between emotional states and coping styles among high risk students in five secondary schools at the Hilir Perak district. This study identified the coping styles among high risk students and examined the relationship between emotional states and coping styles among high risk students. This quantitative study was done by using a survey research design. A total of 140 students consisting of Form One to Six students were selected as respondents in the study. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) was used to measure depression, anxiety and stress levels while the Soal Selidik Gaya Daya Tindak (SSGDT) was used to measure coping styles. Data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Inferential analysis using Pearson r correlation statistical analysis were used for variables to be compared using interval measurement scales. Findings indicate the level of depression and stress for high risk student is at a normal level while the level of anxiety is in a mild level. Correlational analysis indicate that the level of anxiety and stress levels were correlated with their coping style.

AbstractBackground:There is evidence that individuals along the whole psychosis continuum have increased responsiveness to stress; however, coping responses to stressors have not been extensively explored in subthreshold psychotic symptoms.Methods:In 454 undergraduates, psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) were evaluated using the positive items of the Prodromal Questionnaire. Perceived stress and traumatic life events were assessed using the Life Events Checklist and Perceived Stress Scale, and coping was measured using the Brief COPE. We also examined whether different coping styles mediated the relationship between perceived stress and PLEs, as well as whether different coping styles mediated the relationship between traumatic life events and PLEs.Results:Both number of traumatic life events and current level of perceived stress were significantly associated with PLEs. These relationships were both mediated by higher levels of maladaptive coping.Conclusions:Results have the potential to inform treatment strategies, as well as inform targets for exploration in longitudinal studies of those at risk for psychosis.

The present study makes an attempt to understand the Relationship between Caretaker Variable on Occupation and Coping Strategies of Caretakers Attending to Patients with Cancer Problems. Caretakers who were ready and willing to extend their cooperation for in-depth interview were selected as population for the study. Thus a total number of 80 caretakers were selected purposively for conducting the present study. The results revealed that caretakers used both approach and avoidance coping styles. Higher the occupational status of the care taker, better were the coping strategies i.e. they were using more approach coping strategies.

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between chiropractic students' coping styles and levels of resilience with their physical injuries, perceived levels of stress, and well-being. Methods A questionnaire was distributed to the entire student body of the chiropractic program at Murdoch University, and gathered demographic variables and responses to the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Perceived Levels of Stress Scale, Everyday Feelings Questionnaire, and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations. Linear regression analysis was used to calculate for significant relationships. Results Of 244 students, 194 (81%) completed the surveys. Being female and not having recovered from an injury within 12 months was significantly associated with lower levels of well-being and higher levels of stress. Being female, possessing an increased use of an emotional-based coping style, and having lower levels of well-being were associated with higher levels of stress (R2 = 0.65, F(6,164) = 50.47, p < .001). Lower levels of well-being were associated with being female, higher perceived levels of stress, lower levels of resilience, and an increased use emotional coping styles (R2 = 0.64, F[6,164] = 49.5, p < .001). Conclusion It is possible to identify chiropractic students at the university who are at risk of experiencing low levels of well-being and high levels of stress. These students may benefit from interventions aimed at enhancing their coping style choices and increasing their resilience levels. Future studies are recommended to see if these findings are consistent across chiropractic programs nationally and internationally.

Twelve women suffering from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) were monitored over eight weeks to focus on the psychological processes involved in this menstrual disorder. PMS symptomatology, perceived stress, and coping efficacy were examined. Significant cyclical changes occurred in all three variables with the highest deviations appearing premenstrually. The relationship between coping strategies and the severity of symptoms was also studied. Qualitative analysis revealed themes pertinent to an understanding of PMS. It is suggested that alternative treatment options besides pharmacological intervention should be made available to PMS sufferers.

Abstract Older adults are vulnerable to negative recent life events (RLE) which deplete attentional resources and leads to cognitive exhaustion. Adaptive coping styles reduce perceived stress severity but their role on cognitive tiredness is unknown. We examined RLE and coping styles on perceived mental fatigability (Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale (PFS), 0-50pts, higher=greater fatigability) in the Long Life Family Study (N=1464, age=74.7±12.6, female=57.7%, 43.9% ≥1 major RLE past 6 months, 27.8% higher mental fatigability≥13). All analyses adjusted for family structure, field center, age, and sex. PFS mental scores correlated with all NEO-FFI (60-item, 5-domain) personality traits representing maladaptive (neuroticism r=0.25 p<.0001) and adaptive (conscientiousness r=-0.18, extraversion r=-0.24, p<.00001) coping. Having ≥1RLE was associated with higher mental fatigability (OR=1.4, 95% CI:1.2,1.8, p=.0004); adjustment for neuroticism (OR=1.3, 95% CI:0.9,1.7, p=.06) attenuated the association. Education on adaptive coping may be a modifiable skill that allows older adults to maintain lower perceived mental fatigability despite stressful events.
