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.

The Relationship

The investigation results of the disease representation and its relationship with the coping styles in adolescents (n = 43) with tumour of the musculoskeletal system are discussed. The data obtained before and after surgery for the removal of the musculoskeletal tumour were compared. The results expected in accordance with the hypothesis that estimates of physical and emotional states dominate in adolescents disease representations have not been confirmed. It is shown that disease representation correlates with the social support and coping resources (motivation for recovery) and practically does not include the characteristics of the child’s physical and emotional states. A comparison of the relationship between disease representation and coping styles in subgroups of adolescents with different levels of stress revealed the following differences: with a low level of stress, the motivation for recovery as the child’s internal resource is correlated with an active search for social support which at the stage after surgery, begins to be supported by different styles of coping behaviour – solving the problem and reference to others; intense experience of stress significantly limits the possibilities of a teenager which correlates its disease with the physical and emotional problems solved by passively waiting for help from loved ones. Own resources to cope with difficult life situations in adolescents with high levels of stress are not widely available.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Being a parent and especially being a parent of a child with an intellectual disability could lead to reactions such as anxiety, stress, or depression in parents. Individuals in these emotional states could exhibit several psychological and somatic symptoms, which can make it difficult for them to adapt to life. In order to cope with difficulties in life, the stress tolerance of individuals should be high. The present study aims to determine the differences between the distress toleration of parents who have children with typical development (TD) and with intellectual disorders (ID) children and their depression, anxiety and stress levels. The study was designed as a quantitative study. The quantitative study data was collected from 90 mothers and 90 fathers (n=180) who have children with ID and 92 mothers and 92 fathers (n=184) who have children with TD (total:364). The study data were collected with Distress Toleration Scale and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. Since the quantitative study data did not exhibit normal distribution based on the Shapiro-Wilk test, Mann Whitney U-Test was used. Thus, it was determined that acceptance of distress and coping with problem capacities of parents who have children with ID were lower when compared to parents who have children with TD. It was determined that parents who have children with ID could tolerate the distress less and had higher depression-anxiety-stress levels when compared to other parents who have children with TD.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Çocuk sahibi olmak ve özellikle de zihinsel yetersizlikten etkilenmiş çocuğa sahip olmak, ebeveynlerde anksiyete, stres veya depresyon tepkileri oluşturabilir. Bu duygu durumları, psikolojik ve bedensel pek çok belirti verebilir, bireylerin yaşama uyumlarını güçleştirebilir. Yaşanan güçlüklerle başa çıkabilmek için bireylerin sıkıntı toleranslarının yüksek olması gerekir. Bu çalışmada, zihinsel yetersizlikten etkilenmiş (ZYE) ve normal gelişim gösteren (NGG) çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerin sıkıntıyı tolere etme durumları ile depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeylerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma nicel olarak tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini ZYE çocuğa sahip 90 anne ve 90 baba (N=180) ve NGG çocuğa sahip 92 anne ve 92 baba (N=184) olmak üzere 364 ebeveyn oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında Sıkıntıyı Tolere Etme Ölçeği ve Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde yüzde ve frekans dağılımları alınmış, değerler normal dağılmadığından ölçek puanları arası farkın belirlenmesinde Mann Whitney-U Testi kullanılmıştır. Ölçek puanları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesinde korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak; ZYE çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerin NGG çocuğa sahip ebeveynlere göre depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeyinin daha yüksek olduğu, sıkıntıyı kabullenme ve sıkıntıyla baş etme kapasitelerinin daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir.</p>

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.

The Relationship

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 &lt; .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 &lt; .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.

The Relationship

Adaptive life-maintaining characteristics, which may be present in non-suicidal people and absent in suicidal people, have received little attention. This study examined the relationship between these adaptive characteristics and mood by giving the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL) to 199 college students, a group that has recently been shown to be at high risk for suicidal behavior. Subjects completed the RFL, experienced a mood induction or served as a control, and then completed the RFL a second time. Analyses of variance of RFL change scores indicated that elated subjects differed from all others in overall RFL and responsibility to family scores, which improved while others remained about the same. Also, depressed subjects differed from all others in their survival and coping beliefs, which dropped while others remained about the same. These results suggest that a brief intervention such as a mood manipulation technique may positively or negatively affect reasons that people have for not committing suicide.
