Las Mujeres

En este estudio deseamos averiguar si las estrategias de afrontamiento formulados por Lazarus y Folkman (1986) se hallan relacionadas con los factores de personalidad del modelo de los Cinco Factores de Costa y McCrae a la hora de enfrentarse al burnout. Según los partidarios del modelo de los Cinco Factores, la personalidad está implicada en la resolución de los problemas y en el afrontamiento del estrés. Participaron en el estudio 442 mujeres adultas de la provincia de León (España). Se les aplicaron dos instrumentos: el Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) para medir el proceso de afrontamiento y el NEO FFI para evaluar los Cinco factores de la personalidad normal. Los datos se trataron en el SPSS con análisis descriptivos y comparativos. Los resultados reflejan que las mujeres que utilizan modos de afrontamiento dirigidos a la resolución del problema son las que obtienen puntuaciones más altas en Responsabilidad, Extraversión y Apertura mental y más bajas en Neuroticismo; en tanto que las más altas en Neuroticismo utilizan fundamentalmente el modo de afrontamiento Escape.

And Coping

This study examined the effects of demographic factors on coping responses among police officers. A sample of 233 police officers completed the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (Folkman & Lazarus, 1988). The regression analysis showed that the higher the reported educational attainment, the more police officers reported coping which was emotion-focused and seeking social support. The rank of the officer was directly related to reported emotion-focused coping. These results are discussed relative to research on the relations of demographic factors and coping responses among police officers.

The Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) is a widely used measure of coping processes. Despite its use in a variety of populations, there has been concern about the stability and structure of the WCQ across different populations. This study examines the factor structure of the WCQ in a large sample of individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The participants were 501 adults (478 women) who were part of a larger intervention study. Participants completed the WCQ at their 6-month assessment. Foundational factoring approaches were performed on the data (i.e., maximum likelihood factoring [MLF], iterative principal factoring [IPF], principal axis factoring (PAF), and principal components factoring [PCF]) with oblique oblimin rotation. Various criteria were evaluated to determine the number of factors to be extracted, including Kaiser’s rule, Scree plot visual analysis, 5 and 10% unique variance explained, 70 and 80% communal variance explained, and Horn’s parallel analysis (PA). It was concluded that the 4-factor PAF solution was the preferable solution, based on PA extraction and the fact that this solution minimizes nonvocality and multivocality. The present study highlights the need for more research focused on defining the limits of the WCQ and the degree to which population-specific and context-specific subscale adjustments are needed.

Specific Factors

This study presents convergent support for the use of three empirically constructed factors, across four samples, from the Ways of Coping Questionnaire. Planning, Positive Reappraisal, and Distancing factors were congruent for comparisons made between U.S. healthcare workers, Chinese healthcare workers, Chinese teachers, and Taiwanese teachers. Additional evidence of congruency was provided on specific factors between specific pairs of groups. The results support the usage of common factors across languages, cultures, and occupational groups but also highlight the importance of not administering a test in a different cultural setting without assessing its dimensionality.

Collection Form

Aim: The aim of this descriptive study was to assess stress and ways of coping among first year nursing students.Methods: The sample consisted of 90 nursing students from baccalaureate degree programs at a university in Turkey. The research tool consisted of demographic questions, the Pagana Clinical StressQuestionnaire  (CSQ) and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ). The data collection form was performed at the end of the first clinical practice day and the re-test was performed at the end of the last clinical practice day.Results:  The average age of the population was 19.72±1.32, 78.9% of the students were female. In the research, average point of the students’ CSQ and WCQ were calculated as 50.50±9.36 and 71.06±13.64 before the clinical practice, 52.07±9.87 and 77.63±17.03  after the clinical practice respectivelyand it was found that nursing students had significantly higher stress in their clinical practices.Conclusions: Nursing students experience varying degrees of stress across clinical practices and they consistently report that their clinical experiences are stressful.

Challenging Situation

The empirical results of the research devoted to the problem of coping behavior with stressful and the pandemic situations among youth (n=100) are discussed. The instruments are the following: Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (Endler N.S., Parker J.D.A.) and Ways of Coping Questionnaire (Lazarus R., Folkman S.). The problem-oriented coping style is predominant among participants aged 17-31. Significant differences in coping strategies related to pandemic between the respondents who have been exposed to COVID-19 and respondents who were not infected with COVID-19 were not found (p>0.50). Respondents who have been exposed to COVID-19 demonstrated social avoidance style in stressful situations (p=0.021). The structure of coping behavior in group of participants who have been exposed to a new coronovirus infection included a greater number of correlations between stable coping styles and strategies for overcoming the pandemic situation. The female respondents demonstrated higher rate of avoidance behaviour and tend to seek social support more often than male respondents.

It has been noted that a person during the execution of a sentence encounters other ways of life, culture, customs and attitudes towards him. Important psychological mechanisms that allow a convicted person to survive in difficult social conditions, to adapt to imprisonment, are strategies of overcoming behavior and tolerance to uncertainty. Tolerance to uncertainty allows the convicts to overcome easily the tension that arises in connection with expectations of constant novelty and changes. The author of the article has presented the results of the study of tolerance to uncertainty and overcoming behavior of convicted men, who serve punishment for the first time and those who not. Ways of Coping Questionnaire (R. Lazarus and S. Folkman in the adaptation of L. I. Wasserman) and New Questionnaire on Tolerance to Uncertainty by T. Kornilova were used for the pilot study. The t-criterion Student for independent groups and the Spearman correlation analysis were used for mathematical and statistical processing. It has been revealed that convicts who serve sentences not for the first time more often use strategies of distancing, self-control and responsibility. Instead, the convicts who serve first sentences manifest the relationship between the level of intolerance and the distancing strategy. The growth of intolerance of convicts who serve the punishment not for the first term, leads to the propensity to overcome the problem through intellectual methods of rationalization, switching attention, removal, humor, depreciation.
