Background: A high prevalence of mental distress, especially posttraumatic stress disorder, has been widely confirmed among refugees. In order to establish adequate interventions in psychotherapy, however, it must first be examined whether refugees have similar ideas and concepts of stress, trauma, and healing. This study, therefore, aimed to analyze the representations of trauma, self-reported complaints, indications of somatization, and coping strategies among a refugee population. Methods: Semi-structured interviews based on the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) were conducted with Syrian refugees who have residence permission in Germany. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed according to the qualitative content analysis of Mayring. The foci of interest were determined on the basis of the predefined interview guideline, and inductive subcategories were extracted from the transcripts. Results: Sixteen refugees participated (50% women; mean age: 35.5 years, SD = 11.2; the mean duration of stay in Germany: 23.3 months, SD = 6.6). War experiences were the most frequently reported subjective perceptions of trauma. Frequently reported complaints included sleeping disturbance, cardiovascular symptoms, rumination, and pain. Among half of the participants, we found indications of somatization. We identified the following coping strategies: Activity, cognitive coping, social coping, religious coping, avoidance, and emotional coping. Conclusions: War-related traumatic events are the most common trauma perceptions among Syrian refugees. The self-reported complaints demonstrate somatoform, depressive, and posttraumatic symptoms. Syrian refugees should be screened for somatization, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder and should receive targeted interventions that consider and support individual coping resources.

Differential Relationship

Bedouin society has undergone rapid changes over the past decade. The younger generation of Bedouin women is better educated, which has enabled them to enter different professions, increased their incomes and elevated their social status. We examined the sense of coherence (SOC) and its components of meaningfulness, manageability and comprehensibility as well as the use of coping strategies among Bedouin women from three age groups. We also investigated the coping resources and strategies before determining the relationships between these variables in the three groups. One hundred ninety-six women participated in the study. Differences were found mostly between the oldest age group (61 years and older) and the two younger groups (21–40 and 41–60 years old). The oldest women reported less meaningfulness and used less positive reframing, planning, humor and acceptance. In terms of coping strategies, venting was used more by the youngest group whereas behavioral disengagement was used more by the oldest group. In the younger groups, SOC and its components were positively correlated with the use of coping strategies that are considered to be adaptive and with emotional support. However, the correlations between these factors were negative among the oldest group, which points to non-adaptive coping strategies used by these women. These results are discussed in light of the salutogenic, stress-appraisal and coping theories.

Background. Because of their work, emergency workers, such as police officers (POs), are exposed to traumatic events on a daily basis. These experiences can have consequences in terms of physical and emotional stress. Primary attachment relationships affect the development of coping strategies for dealing with stressful events (primarily hyperactivating strategies in entangled adults and hypo-activating strategies in dismissing adults). In this study, we explored how POs describe the experience of traumatic accidents, the effects they reported and their coping strategies related to their attachment style. Methods. We used a quantitative-qualitative method. Thirty-nine POs were administered the Beck Depression Inventory, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and a semi-structured interview about traumatic events and reactions. Interviews were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results. Traumatic events at work predominantly concerned aggressions, witnessing deaths, forced hospitalizations, and domestic violence involving children. POs with a responsible role were more likely than POs to use security-based strategies. Most POs narrated overactivation and deactivation strategies, which were associated with depressive symptoms, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization. Conclusions. These results can be useful to improve trauma-informed interventions for POs based on their different attachment styles and coping strategies.

The article presents data on the study of emotional state characteristics and coping strategies of adolescents in the stressful situation of oncohematological diseases treatment. Two equalized by socio-demographic and clinical parameters groups of patients 11-18 were examined. The experimental group consisted of 28 adolescents undergoing treatment with hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) (M = 14.25, SD = 2.20, M: 57.1%, F: 42.9%). The control group consisted of 30 adolescents undergoing chemotherapy (M = 13.71, SD = 2.12, M: 53.3%, F: 46.7%). The psychological state of adolescents in the course of treatment by НSCТ, in comparison with the state of adolescents of the control group, which is characterized by a significantly higher level of distress and anxiety. Significant differences in the use of coping strategies with stress in patients of the two groups were obtained. Adolescents of the experimental group use a less extensive repertoire of productive coping strategies, often use such an ineffective strategy as "discharge" These differences may be associated with less availability, as well as an increase in depletion of various coping resources under special treatment conditions by the НSCТ. The results of the study confirmed that НSCТ is objectively and subjectively more stressful, which indicates the need for additional monitoring of both the psychological state and the need for psychological care for patients in this group, the development of specialized programs for psychological support for transplantation.

Статья посвящена исследованию особенностей и взаимосвязи психического здоровья (тревожности, психических расстройств, ПТСР) и копинг-стратегий у беременных женщин в период пандемии коронавируса COVID-19. В исследовании приняло участие 120 беременных женщин 19-43 года, на сроке беременности от 8 до 40 недель. Методики: шкала психологического функционирования (Adult ASR/18-59); шкала реактивной тревожности; способы совладающего поведения; шкала оценки влияния травматического события (Impact of Events Scale-Revised). Исследование выявило более высокий уровень тревожности, большую частоту ПТСР и депрессивных расстройств у беременных женщин в период пандемии по сравнению с нормативными данными до пандемии; наиболее выраженными копинг-стратегиями у беременных женщин являются поиск социальной поддержки и планирование решения проблем. Анализ взаимосвязей копинг-ресурсов и психического здоровья у беременных женщин показал негативное влияние на психическое здоровье таких неконструктивных копинг-стратегий как стратегия избегания, дистанцирования и конфронтации.
