Coping in parenting adolescents with autism spectrum disorder

Coping is defined as the way one thinks and reacts to stressful situations, and the various ways a person may choose to deal with those situations is known as their coping strategies or style (Baqutayan, 2015). While coping is generally regarded as a desirable technique for ensuring one's well‐being, coping styles can be both healthy and unhealthy. When examining the various forms of coping strategies, researchers and clinicians typically use the two basic categories of problem‐focused and emotion‐focused coping. The term problem‐focused coping refers to strategies for resolving an issue that is generating pain by focusing on altering the source(s) of the stress. In contrast, emotion‐focused coping refers to strategies for reducing the negative emotions linked with an issue or stressor. Baqutayan (2015) describes the subcategories of problem‐focused coping as confrontative responding, social support, and planning and the subcategories of emotion‐focused coping as self‐control, seeking social support, distance, positive appraisal, accepting responsibility, and escape/avoidance.

Coping with a Disruptive Life Caused by Obstetric Fistula: Perspectives from Malawian Women.

Background: The main symptom of obstetric fistula is urinary and or fecal incontinence. Incontinence, regardless of the type is debilitating, socially isolating, and psychologically depressing. The objective of this study was to explore the strategies that women with obstetric fistula in Malawi use to manage it and its complications. Methods: A subset of data from a study on experiences of living with obstetric fistula in Malawi was used to thematically analyze the strategies used by women to cope with their fistula and its complications. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Nvivo 10 was used to manage data. Results: Participants used two forms of coping strategies: (1) problem-based coping strategies: restricting fluid intake, avoiding sexual intercourse, using homemade pads, sand, corn flour, a cloth wreathe and herbs, and (2) emotional-based coping strategies: support from their families, children, and through their faith in God. Conclusion: Women living with incontinence due to obstetric fistula employ different strategies of coping, some of which conflict with the advice of good bladder management. Therefore, these women need more information on how best they can self-manage their condition to ensure physical and emotional comfort.

Contradicting logics in everyday practice.

Performance management is criticised as a direct challenge to the dominant logic of professionalism in health care organisations. The purpose of this paper is to report an ethnographic study that investigates how performance management and professionalism as contradicting logics are interpreted and implemented by managers and nurses in everyday practice within Norwegian nursing homes. The paper presents an analysis of 18 semistructured interviews and 100 hours of observation of managers and nurses from three nursing homes. The study draws on the institutional logic perspective as a theoretical framework. In the analysis, the authors searched for patterns of activities and interactions that reflected managers and nurses' coping strategies for handling contradicting logics. Qualitative content analysis was used to systematically code the data, supported by NVIVO software. The authors identified three forms of coping strategies: the adjustment of professionalism to standards, the reinforcement of professional flexibility and problem solving, and the strategic adoption of documentation. These patterns of activities and interactions reflect new organisational structures that allowed contradicting logics to co-exist. The study demonstrates that a new complex dimension of governing processes within nursing homes is the way in which managers and nurses handle the tension between contradicting logics in their daily work and clinicians' everyday practice. The study provides new insight into how managers and nurses reshape internal organisational structures to cope with contradicting logics in nursing homes.

Coping with Infertility: An Examination of Coping Mechanisms in Iranian Women with Infertility

Introduction: Due to increased global population and higher age of marriage, number of infertile couples is increasing. Prevalence of infertility is different in different countries. Some data shows that there are about 80 million infertile couples worldwide. In Iran estimations indicate that there are about two million infertile couples. Method: A systematic search was conducted to identify English language publications providing original data on infertility, psychological consequences and coping mechanism in infertile women. Result: For many couples, infertility is undeniably a major life crisis and psychologically stressful. The distress of infertility and its medical treatment is reported to affect different aspects of each partner's personal and the couple's life. First, the experience of infertility often leads to important boundary ambiguity within the relationship and family structure and increases feelings of anxiety, guilt, somatization and depression. Secondly, the diagnostic procedures and medical treatment frequently represent an unforeseen source of stress for the majority of couples undergoing it. Failure to cope with the stressful situation hampers females to reasonably thinking and problem solving coping strategy. The result show that with increasing psychological disorders symptom, the extent of emotional coping strategies will increase too. Infertile people use emotional coping strategies more due to lack of control on life events, low self-esteem, low social support and high level of stresses. Other studies showed that when an event have high level of threat, person evaluate it as more important issue, then attention will be focused on the emotions instead of the problem itself, then the person use emotional coping strategy more . Conclusion: With regard to the fact that certain coping strategies have different impacts on individuals' mental health, it is important to understand which forms of coping strategies are used more frequently by infertile women

Distraction techniques for schizophrenia

Distraction techniques are a form of coping strategies used in cognitive behavioural techniques. They may be of value as an adjunctive treatment for people with schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like illnesses. To review the effects of distraction techniques for people with schizophrenia. We searched the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group's Register (October 2003), manually searched reference lists and contacted relevant authors. We included all randomised controlled trials comparing distraction techniques with other treatments for schizophrenia. We reliably selected, quality assessed and data extracted studies. We excluded data where more than 50% of participants in any group were lost to follow up. For binary outcomes, we calculated a fixed effects risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI), along with the number needed to treat/harm (NNT/H). For continuous data we calculated the weighted mean difference (WMD). In terms of mental state, distraction techniques did not have a clear effect (n=60, 1 RCT, MD endpoint BPRS 1.60 CI -0.49 to 3.69). Distraction does not obviously engage people in the studies (n=159, 5 RCTs, RR leaving the study before completion 1.08 CI 0.72 to 1.63). Clinicians, researchers, policy makers and recipients of care cannot be confident of the effects of distraction techniques from the findings of this review. The few pioneering studies are small, short and poorly reported. Further data from already completed trials might help inform practice, but more trials do seem to be justified as some of these potentially simple techniques, even if their effect is negligible, could be widely implemented and prove more acceptable than other more intrusive treatments.

Patients' strategies for coping with psoriasis.

There is a paucity of research on the types of strategies that patients with psoriasis use to cope with the impact of their condition. By contrast there are a number of studies assessing coping by patients with nondermatological disease. The purpose of the present study was to examine strategies for coping in patients with psoriasis and investigate whether they differ as compared with normal controls and patients with other major medical diseases. Two hundred and fifty patients with a definite dermatologist-confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis participated in this cross-sectional study. Patients were assessed by psoriasis area severity index and all patients completed the COPE questionnaire and psoriasis disability index. Sixty healthy, control participants completed the COPE questionnaire for comparison purposes. Mean COPE scores from patients with psoriasis were also compared with published COPE scores from other medical diseases. The coping strategies most frequently used by patients with psoriasis were acceptance, planning, active coping and positive reinterpretation. The least frequently used were alcohol and nonprescription drugs, religion, and denial of their condition. Despite reporting greater disability, patients with severe psoriasis did not significantly differ from those with mild/moderate disease in their use of particular forms of coping strategies. Patients with psoriasis as a whole tended to use significantly less active coping strategies, planning, positive reinterpretation and humour when compared with normal controls. There was marked similarity in the frequency of use of particular coping strategies between patients with psoriasis and patients with other medical conditions. Similar types of coping strategies are utilized by patients regardless of whether their illness is visible (psoriasis) invisible (chronic fatigue syndrome, atrial fibrillation), has significant physical impairment (spinal cord injury), or is life-threatening (cancer, and myocardial infarction). It appears that illness brings with it a generic form of coping that may require shaping to fit the individual demands of diseases such as psoriasis.

Household food security in rural Uganda: A statistical analysis

No effective food security policy can be developed without knowledge of the dimensions of food insecurity problem at the household level. Using cross‐sectional data of a sample of 300 rural households from three districts in Uganda, Kiboga, Mbarara and Pallisa, this paper examines the extent of food insecurity at the household level. To this end, both objective and subjective measures of household food security are employed. The findings suggest that households derived over 30 percent, 40 percent and 60 percent of their protein, iron and food energy intakes, respectively, from starchy staples. They further suggest that food insecurity does exist in the sampled areas, with a higher percentage of caloric insecure households. Households developed several forms of coping strategies to minimise the consequences of food shortages with no public assistance. The major alternative strategies for improving household food security emerging from the analysis include advocacy, changes in the dietary consumption behaviour, promotion of nutrition education and improving effective access to productive resources.
