Abstract

Background. Te relevance of the study is due to the search for regulatory and intrapersonal resources for a successful way out of difcult life situations on the example of the postoperative period afer high-tech operations on the large joints. Objective. Te study had its purpose to scrutinize the contribution of conscious selfregulation and coping strategies to overcoming difcult life situations. Methods. “Self-Regulation Profle Questionnaire by Morosanova — SRPQM 2020”, questionnaire “Methods of Coping Behavior” by R. Lazarus, questionnaire of cognitive regulation of emotions by N. Garnefsky, “Knee Score Scale” modifed by D. Insall, “Hip Joint Assessment System”. Sample of the study consisted of 128 people of them: 80 men, 48 women (average age 55.76 ± 12.7), who underwent high-tech operations on the large joints. Measurements were carried out in two stages: before the operation and 1.5 months later. Results confrm that most people experience difculties in the process of self-recovery afer high-tech operations. Te study revealed a positive contribution of adaptive coping strategies, such as problem-solving planning and reviewing the situation from the positive side to the patients’ recovery. Tese coping strategies make a positive contribution to compliance with standard recovery deadlines and reduce the efect of ineffective cognitive-emotional strategies. Avoidance, denial of the problem, fantasizing and emotional distancing prevent a successful exit from a difcult life situation and delay the recovery process. Te study also showed contribution of self-accusation, exaggeration of occurred events signifcance and blaming others to the difculties that arise during self-rehabilitation. Te research results demonstrate the system-forming resource role of conscious self-regulation in the successful overcoming difcult life situations, where conscious self-regulation acts as a central predictor and mediator of other personality characteristics. Conclusions. Adaptive coping strategies and conscious self-regulation make a signifcant contribution to overcoming difcult life situations. Self-regulation is a predictor and mediator of health indicators and compliance with standard rehabilitation deadlines; it plays a system-forming resource role in restraining inefective ways of cognitive-emotional regulation and coping strategies in the process of overcoming difcult life situations.
