The relationship between coping behaviour and resilience processes in children in a high risk community / Divan BouwerBouwer, Divan January 2014 (has links)
Coping and resilience occurs on a regular basis within the lives of children residing in at-risk communities. Coping refers to an action or behaviour on behalf of the child with the aim of diminishing the burden of psychological and emotional stressors. Coping can be achieved by means of internal factors, such as avoidance, positive cognitive restructuring, and wishful thinking, as well as by means of external factors such as social support. Resilience was operationalized as the ability of the child to bounce back from adversity or stress in order to achieve positive developmental outcomes. This ability to overcome adverse events can be achieved by means of external as well as internal factors, and thus resilience is understood as a socio-ecological construct (Ungar, 2008). Hence a theoretical link between the two constructs has been identified in relevant literature, since both coping and resilience refer to children‟s ability to deal with stress and adversity they encounter.
A quantitative method of research was chosen for this study in order to investigate the relationship between coping behaviour and resilience processes. The sample consisted of 262 primary school pupils aged 10 to 14, residing in a severely socio-economically deprived community in Vereeniging, Gauteng. An equal distribution of gender was achieved in the sample. Two questionnaires were administered to determine the coping behaviour and resilience processes of participants, namely The Children‟s Coping Strategy Checklist (CCSC) compiled by Ayers and Sandler (1999), and the Resilience and Youth Developmental Model (RYDM) by West.Ed (1999; 2002). Both measures were administered in Afrikaans, which was the medium of teaching in the school. All ethical requirements for a study of this nature were met with precision.
Descriptive statistics regarding the sample revealed that the majority of the participants were aged 12 years, in Grade 6 and Afrikaans speaking. Furthermore the measuring instruments yielded acceptable reliability coefficients, with the CCSC as well as the RYDM obtaining a value of ρ = 0,98. Measurement model 1, consisting of an eleven-factor structure (coping consisting of six factors and resilience of five factors) indicated the best fit, with a Chi-square (χ²) value of 4667,30; CFI of 0,95, and a TLI value of 0,95. Furthermore, significant but tenuous statistically correlational relationship was observed between coping and resilience. A coping measurement model could be conceptualized from the results of this study.
Possible limitations of the study were that: The data was collected in 2010, with secondary analysis being the focus of this study; the CCSC as well as the RYDM are relatively new measures within a South African context, and although both were translated for use in this project, cultural equivalence was not ensured. Possible recommendations for further studies may include the development of standardised South African measures, as well as qualitative studies to explore and provide an in-depth understanding of coping behaviour and resilience processes in children. / MA (Research Psychology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Previous issue date: 2018-02-28 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa ? CNPq / This research aimed to verify and analyze the levels of perceived stress and coping strategies of professionals from institutional shelters. This is an empirical, descriptive and correlational study, with an intentional sample of 45 direct and indirect contact professionals with shelters in four institutional shelters. Four instruments were used: Characterization sheet of the institutional shelter, Participant Characterization Sheet, Impact of Event Scale and COPE Brief. The data obtained were analyzed in the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Descriptive statistics were used: analysis of means, standard deviation, maximum and minimum values of coping subscales, as well as inferential: linear regression analysis, non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney) and Spearman's correlation, considering the nature and distribution of the scores. In the analysis of the data, the distribution of participants was used to characterize the sample, through the sociodemographic variables. The results demonstrated that the perceived stress levels were higher in the participants of philanthropic institutional shelters of direct contact with shelters. The coping strategy most used was coping focused on the problem in both shelters, and the coping strategy with the highest correlation with stress was coping focused on emotion and maladaptation. The predictive variables of stress were the type of shelter, the working day, the schooling and the coping focused on the emotion and maladaptive. It was concluded that only the assessment of the health of shelter workers can generate appropriate actions and policies directed to them and detect the needs for improvement and professional training programs, contributing to the quality of care for sheltered children and adolescents. / Esta pesquisa objetivou verificar e analisar os n?veis de estresse percebido e as estrat?gias de coping dos profissionais de abrigos institucionais.

O enfrentamento religioso em pacientes portadores de HIV/AIDS: um estudo psicossocial entre homens católicos e evangélicos / Religious coping in HIV/AIDS patients: a psychosocial study among Catholic and Pentecostal menAndre Gonçalves Mellagi 21 September 2009 (has links)
O presente estudo tem por objetivo investigar as modalidades de enfrentamento religioso em homens portadores de HIV/AIDS pertencentes às religiões católica e evangélica pentecostal/neopentecostal. Após seleção de 50 católicos e 30 evangélicos, usuários de um serviço de atendimento a pacientes soropositivos em São Paulo, aplicou-se uma escala de coping religioso/espiritual e um formulário sobre religiosidade e história clínica da doença. As principais estratégias de coping apresentadas pelos sujeitos foram analisadas e comparadas entre os grupos católico e evangélico, através de mensuração estatística e da literatura sobre coping religioso. Estudos sobre as características psicossociais da população católica e evangélica no Brasil também foram utilizadas nas discussões sobre estilos preponderantes de coping em cada grupo. Tanto entre católicos quanto evangélicos houve maior uso de estratégias de enfrentamento que envolviam posicionamento positivo frente a Deus e menor uso de estratégias de reavaliação negativa de Deus. Os resultados mostraram uso maior por parte dos evangélicos de estilos que envolvem fatores positivos de transformação de si, ações em busca do outro institucional, busca pessoal de conhecimento espiritual, além de fatores negativos tais como posicionamento negativo frente a Deus e reavaliação negativa do significado. As considerações finais levantam tópicos sobre enfrentamento religioso na realidade brasileira e sua importância enquanto recurso multidimensional na vida do portador de HIV. / The present study has the purpose to investigate the ways of religious coping among HIV/AIDS male patients affiliated to Catholic and Pentecostal/Neo-Pentecostal religion. After a selection of 50 Catholics and 30 Protestants Pentecostals, users from a HIV+ health service in São Paulo, Brazil, a religious/spiritual coping scale was applied and other data about religiosity and diseases clinical history were collected. The main coping strategies revealed by the subjects was analyzed and compared between the Catholic and Pentecostal groups through statistical measures and the religious coping literature reviewed. Studies on the psychosocial aspects of the Catholic and Pentecostal population in Brazil also were used in the discussions about the main coping styles in each group. Catholics and Pentecostals employed more strategies involved in a positive posture toward God and less use of negative reappraisal of God strategies. The Pentecostals employed more positive styles related to achievement of life transformation, search for religious institutions, search for spiritual knowledge, moreover negative factors such as negative posture toward God and negative reappraisal of meaning. The final conclusions raise issues about religious coping in the Brazilian culture and its importance whilst multidimensional resource in the HIV patients life.

Stress and coping mechanisms of South African Police officers in Tzaneen, Limpopo ProvinceMushwana, M. R. V. January 2017 (has links)
Thesis (M. A. (Psychology)) --University of Limpopo, 2017. / This study endeavours to identify and describe the stress experiences of South African Police
Personnel (SAPS) in a specific municipal area. The components of stress and related coping
mechanisms are of particular interest in policing as much research indicates that officers
suffer from stress related illnesses. The research was thus undertaken to determine what type
of stressors affect police officers in the Greater Tzaneen Municipal Area, Limpopo Province,
and what type of coping strategies they use. A quantitative approach utilising a cross
sectional survey design was used for the investigation. Stratified random sampling was used
to draw the sample of SAPS officers from the different police stations in Greater Tzaneen
Municipal Area. Data was collected by means of questionnaires namely the Police Stress
Inventory (PSI) and the Coping Inventory (COPE). Ethical considerations, as required by the
University of Limpopo, were followed. Results included the fact that of the top ten stressors
five were organisational stressors. This finding suggests that the South African Police
Services in this area must provide interventions that reduce the effects of work related
stressors. They should also recruit more female officers as the gender disparity is a notable
one. Results suggest that no matter what age, religion, language, gender, marital status and
rank, all respondents are alike in terms of the use of Avoidant Coping strategies. These are used to some degree however; the majority of respondents use Problem Focused Coping
strategies together with Emotionally Focused Coping strategies. This suggests that the sample was able to handle negative stressors in a positive manner. It was concluded that a police force that reflects the general demographic of the area is more likely to provide a community driven workforce

Det (o)hanterliga klientvåldet : En kvalitativ studie om socialsekreterares upplevelser och hantering av klientvåld / The (un)manageable client violence: a qualitative study about social workers’ experiences and coping strategies with client violenceJaneröd, Olle, Lennman, Sara January 2021 (has links)
”Det (o)hanterliga klientvåldet” är en kvalitativ intervjustudie med syftet att undersöka socialsekreterares upplevelser och hantering av klientvåld i deras yrkesutövning. Mer än var tredje socialsekreterare drabbas av klientvåld och det är även en av de mest förekommande orsakerna till utbrändhet och uppsägning. I studien utfördes sex stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer vars material analyserades med en tematisk analys. Coping- och resiliensteorin har använts som teoretisk tolkningsram för att förstå det empiriska materialet. Resultatet visade att klientvåld är situationsbunden och påverkar socialsekreterare olika. Vanligt förekommande copingstrategier var att söka socialt stöd i sin omgivning, förminska våldet och skilja på sin professionella och privata roll. Resultatet visade även att socialsekreterare härdas av klientvåld när de får erfara det upprepade gånger. / “The (un)manageable client violence” is a qualitative interview study aiming to explore social workers experiences of client violence and how they cope with the issue in their professional role. More than every third social worker is said to have been exposed to client violence and it appears to be one of the most common reasons of why social workers get burned out or quit their jobs. Six semi-structural interviews were conducted in the study and got analyzed with a thematical analysis. The coping- and resilience theory were used to understand the empirical material. This study’s result showed that client violence depends on the situation and affects the social workers differently. Common coping strategies tended to be searching for social support in their surroundings and separating the professional and the private self. The result also showed that the client violence does not feel as violent after being exposed to it repeatedly.

Professional’s Perceptions on Coping Strategies Amongst Sexually Abused Girls in Kandy, Sri LankaJohansson, Rachel January 2020 (has links)
Child sexual abuse is an ongoing societal problem, causing severe trauma to vulnerable individuals and evoking all manner of coping strategies in managing the aftermath of their experiences. Whilst extensive research has directed attention onto sexual abuse and the coping strategies that result from such trauma, very few studies have concentrated on the professional perceptions when supporting sexually abused girls using coping strategies to combat their trauma. Therefore, this research intends to provide an exploration into how professionals perceive the coping strategies used by sexually abused girls in a non-governmental organisation (NGO) residential girl’s home in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Using semistructured interviews via email and individual video recorded zoom meetings from three participants: comprising of a director/counsellor, English teacher, and practitioner. The findings suggested that cultural/societal background, therapies, and interventions have led to or encouraged positive or negative outcomes and coping strategies aside from the sexual abuse trauma.
