Streso įveika apibūdinama kaip žmogaus minčių ir veiksmų pastangos suvaldyti specifinius reikalavimus, individo suprantamus kaip išmėginimas arba nesėkmės. Skiriamos į problemą orientuotos, kitaip vadinamos adaptyvios, ir į emocijas orientuotos, vadinamosios neadaptyvios, streso įveikos. Nustatyta, kad neadaptyvių streso įveikimo būdų naudojimas susijęs su emocijų ir elgesio sunkumais. Atlikta keletas streso įveikų reikšmės vaikų raidai tyrimų. Jie parodo, kad tėvų naudojami streso įveikimo būdai gali nusakyti prisitaikymą prie tėvystės ir kartu vaikų psichologinį prisitaikymą.Šio tyrimo tikslas yra patikrinti mamų naudojamų streso įveikų ir vaikų elgesio ryšį bei emocijų sunkumų egzistavimą pilnose ir nepilnose šeimose. 183 vaikų (2?10 metų) mamos pildė du klausimynus: streso įveikimo būdų klausimyną (Elklit, 1996) ir vaikų elgesio klausimyną (Achenbach, 1991).Rezultatai parodė teigiamą neadaptyvių motinų naudojamų streso įveikimo būdų ir vaikų elgesio bei emocijų sunkumų koreliaciją. Buvo nustatyta, kad motinos išsilavinimas yra svarbus kintamasis, susijęs ir su jos įveikomis, ir su vaikų elgesio bei emocijų sunkumais. Labiau išsilavinusios motinos naudoja daugiau adaptyvių streso įveikų nei mažiau išsilavinusios. Vaikai, kurių motinų aukštesnis išsilavinimas, turi mažiau elgesio ir emocijų sunkumų. Pilnų ir nepilnų šeimų vaikų elgesio ir emocijų sunkumai nesiskyrė. Rezultatai parodė, kad vienišos motinos naudoja daugiau adaptyvių streso įveikų nei motinos, gyvenančios pilnoje šeimoje. Rezultatai, gauti pasitelkus regresinę analizę, rodo, kad į emocijas orientuota streso įveika ir motinos išsilavinimas leidžia numatyti vaikų elgesio ir emocijų sunkumus. MATERNAL STRESS COPING AS RELATED TO CHILDREN?S EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMSRoma Jusienė, Vaida Platkevičiūtė SummaryCoping is defined as the cognitive and behavioral efforts used to manage specific external and internal demands, appraised as taxing or exceeding a person?s resources. Some of coping strategies are considered to be adaptive, while others - maladaptive. Excessive use of maladaptive stress coping strategies is found to correlate with emotional or behavior problems. There are only few attempts to study coping in parenting situation, indicating that the stress and coping model is useful in exploring the complex process of adaptation to parenting, and relating it to the psychological adjustment of the children. On the one hand, children learn stress coping strategies from their parents. On the other hand, the parental mood as mediated by their coping is considered to be the important factor influencing children's psychological adjustment. The present study aims to evaluate the relationship between maternal coping and emotional and behavioral problems of children in intact and divorced families. Mothers of 183 children (age 2 to 10 years) answered two questionnaires: Stress Coping Strategies questionnaire (Elklit, 1996) and Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach, 1991). The results show the strong positive correlation between maladaptive maternal coping and the psychological adjustment of children. Maternal coping as well as children's emotional and behavior problems are related to mothers' education. Mothers with a lower education degree use more maladaptive coping strategies, particularly avoiding coping. They denote more children's behavioral and emotional problem too. Our results show that psychological adjustment of children who live without father isn't worse, then psychological adjustment of children who live with both parents. The results reveal that single mothers use more adaptive coping, then those, who live in intact families. The results of regression analysis show that emotional coping used by mother and her lower education level predict higher rates of children's emotional and behavioral problems. Mothers were the only informant about children's psychological adjustment in this study. Further steps related to this topic could be analyzing whether the relation between maternal stress coping and children's emotional and behavioral problems remains when the latter are indicated by other informants. Keywords: stress coping, children's emotional and behavioral problems, and psychological adjustment.

Ankstyvas ir tinkamas fenilketonurijos gydymas yra būtinas norint užtikrinti normalią psichinę ir fizinę šia liga sergančių vaikų raidą. Net tinkamai gydomi fenilketonurija sergantys vaikai turi elgesio problemų, tiesiogiai nekylančių dėl pačios ligos. Mūsų tyrimo tikslas buvo įvertinti fenilketonurija sergančių ir nuo jos gydomų vaikų elgesio problemas ir tai, kaip jos susijusios su psichologiniu ligos poveikiu šeimai bei tai, kaip tėvai reagavo į vaiko ligą, kokie yra jų santykiai su sergančiu vaiku. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad sergantys fenilketonurija vaikai turi daugiau emocijų ir elgesio problemų nei sveiki jų bendraamžiai. Patikimiausiai fenilketonurija sergančių vaikų internalios, socialinės ir dėmesio bei visos emocijų ir elgesio problemos siejosi su mamų reagavimu į vaiko ligą kaltės ir pykčio jausmais, į emocijas orientuotų streso įveikos strategijų naudojimu, nuolaidžiaujančiais santykiais su sergančiu vaiku. EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS OF CHILDREN WITH PHENYLKETONURIA  Roma Jusienė, Rasa Bieliauskaitė, Loreta Cimbalistienė SummaryPhenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited genetic metabolic disorder in which the enzyme required to digest phenylanine (Phe) is missing. If untreated, individuals with PKU will develop high levels of Phe in their blood which can affect brain development and function. That's why low protein diet must be introduced as early as possible from the birth. Nevertheless, several studies show higher incidence of behavioral problems, especially internalizing, in early treated PKU children. Parental maladjustment to their child's chronic illness and everyday stress related to the burden of special diet can be reasons for psychological problems of PKU children. The aim of our study is to evaluate the psychological adjustment of PKU children (as compared to healthy controls) and analyze it in the context of psychological impact of PKU on the family.Parents of 37 early-treated PKU children (age 4-14 years old) and of 37 matched controls answered the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL, Achenbach, 1991) and questionnaire on stress coping strategies (Elklit, 1996). Parents of PKU children also answered the questionnaire on reactions to child's disease and it's impact on the family.The results of present study indicate that PKU children have significantly more behavioral problems than healthy controls. They are more withdrawn, anxious /depressive, aggressive, have more social and attention problems. The higher rates of internalizing and overall problems are related to parental maladjustment (feelings of guilty and anger) together with maladaptive (emotional) everyday stress coping strategies. Two latter factors further indulging the child, that also predicts the psychological maladjustment of PKU children.

Introduction: Emotional intelligence is a decisive factor for adaptation to the work environment.Objective: To inquire into the employment location and the correlation between perceived quality of work life, emotional intelligence and stress coping strategies in graduates of a university from Manizales.Materials and methods: Analytical cross-sectional design. From a population of 1 245 graduates, 149 were asked about their working conditions using the CVP35 questionnaire on quality of work life, the TMMS-24 questionnaire on emotional intelligence, and the CRI-Y questionnaire on stress coping strategies.Results: 88.6% of the respondents work; 51.7% of them have a full-time job. In the CVP35, 53% of the participants were classified in the “quite a lot” category for the workload domain, 63.1% for the intrinsic motivation domain, 51.7% for the managerial support domain, and 4% for the perceived quality of life domain. Regarding the TMMS-24 questionnaire, 59.1% should improve their perception, 48.3% have an adequate level of comprehension, and 51% have adequate regulation. The level of emotional intelligence positively influences both the perception of quality of work life (QWL) and the type of stress coping strategies that are used.Conclusions: Emotional intelligence has a significant influence on young professionals’ perception of QWL, and thus on their work performance; therefore, their comprehensive training requires the inclusion of emotional competences in the different curricula in order to counteract the negative effects of work stress to improve their perception of QWL, so that, this way, they have a better work performance and a higher productivity when they enter the labor market.

Our study included 30 pairs of siblings aged 12-18 years; one sibling with and one without conduct disorder in each pair. The aim of the study was to assess individual characteristics of those siblings, i.e. to determine differences in psychological characteristics of the siblings with regard to locus of control, stress coping strategies and frequency and structure of behavioral problems and emotions. The results suggested significant differences in individual characteristics of children with conduct disorder and their healthy siblings. These results mainly confirm previous results of foreign research on a sample of our population. Exception of findings was related to strategies for coping with stress: religious behavior that didn?t turn out as a protective factor and avoiding confrontation and withdrawal which are shown as a protective factor. These results suggest the importance of individual psychological characteristics for the occurrence of conduct disorders and have implications in therapy and in preventive work with adolescents.
