Background: A person living with HIV / AIDS bargains with stressors such as discrimination, stigma depression, and several psychological impacts. The stressors experienced by people with HIV/ AIDS will certainly have an impact on daily activities, welfare, and management of medications which in general will have an impact on the quality of life. To deal with these stressors, it is necessary to have good and proper coping from within the PLWHA. Coping strategies need to be owned and carried out by PLWHA in order to respond adaptively to the stressor conditions experienced. Purpose: The aim of this review is to describe the stress experienced and the coping strategies used among PLWHA.

In the Philippines, there is an increasing number of children with special needs, and parents' ability to cope has implications with the way they raise their child as well as in family relationships. This descriptive, comparative, and correlational study focused on determining the stress level of parents, their demographic characteristics, and coping strategies. Data were gathered using standardized instruments as well as profile sheets from the 57 parents who were chosen through the snowball sampling technique. Data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings showed a significant relationship between the stress level and educational attainment. Furthermore, parents utilized adaptive coping as their dominant coping strategy, but they were also at varying degrees and at different times of utilizing maladaptive coping strategies. The stress level was positively associated with maladaptive coping strategy suggesting that parents were prone to emotional problems. Results had implications for mental health practices in the country.

Background:Patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) who are more physically active experience less pain and better physical functioning.1Psychological factors such as anxiety and depression are associated with physical functioning and reduction of Quality of Life (QoL).2Furthermore, evasive coping strategies are commonly used in health-related coping.3However, as far as we know, no data is available regarding the influence of coping strategies, anxiety and depression on daily physical activity in axSpA.Objectives:To determine if coping strategies, anxiety and depression are associated with daily physical activity in patients with axSpA.Methods:Consecutive outpatients from the Groningen Leeuwarden AxSpA cohort (GLAS) participated in this study. Additionally to the standardized follow-up assessments, patients filled out the axSpA-Short Questionnaire to assess health-enhancing physical activity (axSpA-SQUASH), the Coping with Rheumatic Stressors (CORS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to explore associations of copings strategies, anxiety and depression, and patient- and disease related factors with daily physical activity. Additionally, patients were stratified into three tertiles of physical activity: low, intermediate and high. To identify group differences, Kruskal-Wallis test or Chi-Square test were used with post-hoc testing.Results:In total 85 patients were included; 59% were male, mean age was 49±14, median symptom duration 19.5 years (IQR 12.0-31.0), 71% were HLA-B27 positive and mean ASDAS was 2.1±1.0. Median axSpA-SQUASH total physical activity score was 9406.3 (IQR 5538.8–12081.3). Median scores of HADS-Anxiety (scale 7-28) and HADS-Depression (scale 7-28) were scores of 12 (IQR 10.0-14.0) and 10(IQR 9.0-12.5). The mostly frequently used coping strategie was comforting cognitions (for pain, range 9-36); median of 25.5 (IQR 22.0-28.0).Univariable analysis showed that lower daily physical activity was significantly associated with gender (female), higher disease activity (BASDAI), worse physical function (BASFI), worse quality of life (ASQoL), coping strategies ‘decreasing activities’ and ‘pacing’, higher depression score (HADS) and higher perceived influence of axSpA on general well-being. In multivariable analysis, only the coping strategy “decreasing activity” was independently associated with physical activity (β: -419.3, R2: 0.155, P<0.001). Additionally, patients in the highest physical activity tertile were significantly more often male, had higher working status, lower BASDAI and ASDAS, better BASFI and ASQoL and scored lower on the coping strategy “decreasing activities”.Conclusion:In this cross-sectional study in axSpA patients with established disease, multiple patient and disease related factors were associated with daily physical activity. The evasive coping strategy ‘decreasing activities’ was the only independently associated factor. These findings suggest that to improve daily physical activity in axSpA patients attention should be paid not only on targeting disease activity, but also to other patient and disease related aspects, especially coping strategies used.References:[1]Regel A et al.RMD Open. 2017;3(1):e000397.[2]Kilic G et al.Med (United States). 2014;93(29):e337.[3]Peláez-Ballestas I et al.Med (United States). 2015;94(10):e600.Acknowledgments:The authors would like to thank all patients who participated in the GLAS cohort.Disclosure of Interests:Marlies Carbo: None declared, Laura Overbeeke: None declared, Suzanne Arends Grant/research support from: Grant/research support from Pfizer, Yvo Kamsma: None declared, Freke Wink Consultant of: Abbvie, Janssen, Davy Paap: None declared, Anneke Spoorenberg: None declared

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the distressing impact of toxic leadership on the mental state of the subordinates and examine the unique coping mechanisms used by them to deal with such leaders. The paper also examined the relationship between psychological distress and coping strategy used by subordinates to deal with the toxic leader. Design/methodology/approach This study presents a validity testing of two scales. The first scale was designed to measure experienced psychological distress emanating from exposure to toxic leaders, and the second scale aims to assess the coping strategies utilized by subordinates to deal with the toxic leaders. Data were collected from 570 employees working in public as well as private organizations in India. Findings The results of this paper supported the theorized two three-dimensional tools to measure: psychological distress (loss of self-worth, withdrawal and agitated) and coping strategies to deal with toxic leaders (assertive coping, avoidance coping and adaptive coping). Reliability estimates and construct validity of both the tools were established. The results also suggest that the loss of self-worth was negatively related with assertive coping, avoidance coping and adaptive coping. However, withdrawal was positively related with assertive coping and avoidance coping. Finally, agitation was positively related with avoidance and adaptive coping. Originality/value To the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the rare studies to examine together the phenomenon of both psychological distress experienced by subordinates and the coping strategies utilized by them to deal with toxic leaders.

Persons with schizophrenia in Singapore suffer from lower perceived stigma compared with the USA and Canada. Secrecy is the most highly endorsed coping strategy and educating others is the least endorsed. This reflects Singapore patients’ preference to hide their illness and their lack of self-advocating compared with their western counterparts.

178 Background: Allogeneic stem cell transplant survivors with cGVHD experience substantial psychological distress and impairments in QOL. However, the relationship between patients’ physical functioning, symptom burden, coping strategies, and QOL over time is unknown. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal study of patients with moderate-severe cGVHD. We assessed patient-reported psychological distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), QOL (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General), physical functioning (Human Activity Profile), cGVHD symptom burden (Lee Symptom Scale), and coping (Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations) at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Using mixed linear effects models, we examined the longitudinal relationship between QOL and physical functioning, cGVHD symptoms, and coping strategies. Results: We enrolled 53 patients with moderate (71.7%, 38/53) or severe (28.3%, 15/53) cGVHD. The rate of clinically significant depression and anxiety symptoms at baseline was 32.1% (17/53) and 30.2% (16/33), respectively, and did not change over time. Patients reported low QOL at baseline [M = 70.33, SD = 18.96], which did not change significantly over time [β = -0.66, SE = 1.11, P = 0.550]. Over time, higher physical functioning was associated with better QOL [β = 0.17, SE = 0.05, P = 0.001], while greater symptom burden was associated with worse QOL [β = -0.38, SE = 0.06, P < 0.001]. While the use of emotion-oriented coping was associated with lower QOL over time [β = -0.70, SE = 0.14, P < 0.001], the use of avoidance-oriented coping was associated with higher QOL over time [β = 0.38, SE = 0.10, P < 0.001]. Task-oriented coping was not associated with psychological distress or QOL. Conclusions: Patients with moderate-severe cGVHD report substantial psychological distress and persistently impaired QOL over time. Higher physical function and lower symptom burden are associated with improved QOL. The use of certain coping strategies was associated with changes in QOL. These data underscore the need for supportive care interventions to promote effective coping and enhance physical functioning in patients with cGVHD.

The purpose in this study was to evaluate the severity of stress experienced by student interpreters and the coping strategies that they employed. Our main interest was in determining how well coping strategies could explain the stress caused by interpreting. We used a survey method to collect data from 186 student interpreters at a university in Taiwan. We employed the Interpretation Classroom Anxiety Scale and the Coping Strategy Indicator. The results indicated that approximately 42% of the variance in the development of student interpreters' stress found in this sample could be explained by the coping strategies used. Among 3 coping strategies used, avoidance made the largest significant unique contribution to the explanation of student interpreters' stress.
