The purpose of this project was to determine the relationships between the sense of coherence and paramedics’ coping with stress styles. Owning such resources as high sense of coherence or task-oriented coping with stress style does not imply triggering them in encountering a critical situation. However, if triggered, they become an important variable acting as an intermediary between stressful events and coping. Two concepts serve as a theoretical basis: R. Lazarus’ transactional theory of stress and Antonovsky’s salutogenic theory.

The aim of the study was to identify coherence, hope for success and coping strategies as predictors of mood among this year’s Olympians in the context of coronavirus events. The relationships between the above variables and the mood of athletes were analysed. The study group consisted of 57 athletes – women (29) and men (28) between 18 and 39 years of age – representing various sports disciplines who were preparing for the Tokyo Olympics. The research was conducted in the period of April 7-28, 2020 during the first threat of COVID-19 pandemic, following the decision to move the Summer Olympics to the year 2021. It was time of the greatest national restrictions and information about the postponement of the games had been received. As a result of the step regression analysis, three predictors of vigour were established: sense of meaningfulness, coping with stress through positive reframing, and not using the self-blaming strategy. A positive predictor of anger was the use of substances. Confusion was predicted based on the frequency of behavioral disengagement. Behavioral disengagement predicted the severity of depression. Predictors of fatigue were the sense of meaningfulness, and the strategies of positive reframing and self-blaming. The results obtained emphasize the importance of positive reframing as a factor contributing to maintaining a positive mood state. In contrast, behavioral disengagement and self-blaming were strategies that lowered the mood of elite athletes. The results confirm the importance of factors included in the salutogenic model (sense of coherence, coping strategies) as predictors of athletes’ mood during a pandemic.

The main research objective was seeking for the predictive role of such personal resources as resilience, sense of coherence, and coping with stress in psychological well-being of schizophrenia patients and their treatment. The study group comprised 201 individuals with schizophrenia, aged between 18 and 62. The following instruments were used: The sense of coherence scale SOC-29, The resilience scale for adults, polish adaptation of the stress appraisal measure, semistructured clinical interview, the positive and negative syndrome scale, the mood scale, and the general health questionnaire. A stepwise regression analysis aimed at selecting a group of significant predictors for the verified factors of psychological well-being in patients suffering from schizophrenia was carried out. The results of the study demonstrated the following to be significant predictors of psychological well-being in patients with schizophrenia: Resilience (explaining significantly the level of schizophrenic symptomatology Beta = −0.30, negative symptoms Beta = −0.385, and cognitive disorders Beta = −0.303), sense of coherence, which significantly predicted mood (in the case of manageability, Beta = 0.580 for positive mood, and Beta = 0.534 for negative mood) and psychiatric symptomatology (comprehensibility, Beta = 0.311 for negative symptoms, Beta = 0.173 for excessive arousal, and Beta = 0.330 for cognitive disorganization). The level of perceived stress appraised as challenge predicted positive mood (Beta = 0.164), while stress appraisal in terms of threat served as a predictor for negative mood and depressiveness (Beta = 0.190). The study results can prove helpful in creating therapeutic and programs and psychiatric rehabilitation for patients with schizophrenia.

Introduction: The article concerns sense of coherence and styles of coping with stress in group of adolescents brought up in children’s homes and in family homes. Short characteristic of functioning of youth from educational care facilities was presented in the first part of the text. The functions of children’s homes and family homes are described. Concept of sense of coherence and coping with stress in in research on youth was discussed. Method: The level of sense of coherence and styles of coping with stress in youth brought up in educational care facilities and in family homes were compared. A group of 90 teenagers aged 15-19 was examined using the SOC-29 and CISS questionnaires. The analyzed group consisted of 40 adolescents brought up in children’s homes and 50 adolescents brought up in family homes. Results: In the group of youth brought up in children’s homes negative correlations between the sense of comprehensibility and the style focused on avoiding and seeking social contacts were observed. In the group of youth brought up in family homes negative correlations between the sense of coherence, the sense of comprehensibility, resourcefulness and the style focused on emotions and a positive relationship between the sense of comprehensibility and the style focused on task was observed. The level of resourcefulness was significantly higher in the group of youth brought up in family homes, compared to adolescents brought up in children’s homes. Youth brought up in family homes significantly more often than their peers from children’s homes uses task-focused strategies. Youth growing up in children’s homes and having contact with their own families significantly more often, compared to teenagers growing up in children’s homes and not having contact with their own families, uses strategies focused on avoiding and seeking social contacts. Conclusions: There are differences in the intensity of sense of coherence and the use of adaptive strategies related to coping with stress in the group of youth from children’s homes and family homes. Contact with the family of origin causes the increase in the frequency of using dysfunctional strategies of coping with stress in youth from children’s homes.
