“…This result could reflect a dysfunctional emotional regulation strategy, leading to reduce the use of emotion‐oriented coping in stressful situations when people are aimed at managing negative emotions associated with severe health problems such as heart diseases. Accordingly, emotion‐oriented coping has been associated with cardiac disorders in other studies (Bahremand, Alikhani, Zakiei, Janjani, & Aghaei, ; Lo Buono, Corallo, Bramanti, & Marino, ). Another likely explanation for this finding might be that a cardiac event, in some severe cases, could have reinforced avoidance of emotional processing.…”

The strategies that people usually use to cope with stressful events, that is, their coping style, may affect blood pressure and cardiovascular functioning. Generally, hypertension is positively associated with emotion-oriented, maladaptive coping strategies and negatively related to task-focused coping styles, but no study has investigated the relationship between coping strategies and the severity of hypertension. This study aimed to assess whether the severity of cardiovascular disorders was associated with specific coping strategies. Participants were selected from the Policlinico Umberto I of the University of Rome "Sapienza." The sample was divided into five groups: (a) healthy people (n = 190); (b) people with untreated hypertension (n = 232); (c) people using antihypertensive medication (n = 158); (d) people using antihypertensive medication with uncontrolled hypertension (n = 179); and (e) people suffering from both hypertension and heart diseases (N = 192). Coping strategies were evaluated with the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations. One-way ANCOVAs, considering Group as the independent variable and the coping strategies (task-focused, emotion-oriented and avoidance-oriented coping) as dependent variables, showed that individuals affected by both hypertension and heart diseases made less use of task-focused coping strategies than the other groups. These findings confirm the relationship between coping style and hypertension and highlight that patients with hypertension and heart diseases make less use of appropriate coping strategies.

Öz Amaç: İnme geçiren bireylerin hastalıkla başa çıkma tutumlarının yaşam kalitesi üzerine olan etkisini incelemektir. Materyal ve Metot: Tanımlayıcı türdeki bu çalışmanın örneklemini Ekim 2018-Haziran 2019 tarihlerinde inme sonrası kontrolleri için bir devlet ve bir eğitim araştırma hastanesinin nöroloji ve fizik tedavi polikliniğine gelen 360 birey oluşturdu. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyodemografik özellikler için oluşturulan anket formu, İnmeye Özgü Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ve Başa Çıkma Tutumlarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği kullanıldı. İstatistiksel analizde SPSS 25.0 programı kullanıldı. Hastalıkla başa çıkma tutumlarının yaşam kalitesi üzerine olan etkisinin belirlenmesinde binary lojistik regresyon analizi kullanıldı. P<0,05 ve p<0,001 değerleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Hastalıkla baş etme tutumlarından olan aktif başa çıkma (OR: 1,31 [95% CI 1,094-1,579]; p<0,05), geri durma (OR: 1,173 [1,022-1,347]; p<0,05), mizah (OR: 1,143 [1,023-1,276]; p<0,05) ve alkol/madde kullanımı (OR: 1,128 [1,008-1,262]; p<0,05)yaşam kalitesi üzerinde anlamlı prediktörler olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Aktif başa çıkma, geri durma, mizaç ve alkol/sigara kullanımı yaşam kalitesi üzerinde olumsuz etki eden faktörlör olup; bu faktörleri inmeli bireylerin yaşamında ne zaman ve ne sıklıkla kullandığı dikkatlice irdelenmeli ve hastanın başa çıkma tutumlarını ve yaşam kalitesini artıracak eğitim ve multidisipliner ekibin yer aldığı inme rehabilitasyon programlarının geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: İnme, yaşam kalitesi, baş etme, COPE. AbstractObjectives: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of coping attitudes on quality of life in patient with stroke. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between October 2018 and June 2019. The sample data were collected from 360 patients who had been admitted to neurology and physiotherapy clinics at a training and research university hospital and a government hospital in Karabuk. Data of the study were collected by the COPE inventory and the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale. SPSS 25.0 program was used in the statistical analysis. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the effect of coping attitudes on quality of life. P <0.05 and p <0.001 values were considered statistically significant. Results: Active coping (OR: 1.31 [95% CI 1.094-1.579]; p<0.05), restraint (OR: 1.173 [1.022-1.347]; p<0.05),humor(OR: 1.143 [1.023-1.276]; p<0.05) and alcohol/substance use(OR: 1.128 [1.008-1.262]; p<0.05), which are coping with the disease, were found to be significant predictors of on quality of life. Conclusion: Active coping, restraint, humor and alcohol / substance use are factors that negatively affect quality of life. When and how often these factors are used in stroke patients' lives should be examined carefully. it is recommended to develop stroke rehabilitation programs with training and multidisciplinary team to improve patient coping attitudes and quality of life.

“…Prior studies have highlighted the despair and disappointment felt by stroke survivors after discharge from the hospital due to limited information given and encouragement by health professionals [12][13][14][15]. Other studies have found that individuals developed and used a range of coping strategies to adjust to life with stroke [16,17].…”

Purpose: A stroke is a sudden event which may leave individuals and their families ill-prepared to deal with the resultant disability. Several contextual factors can influence the recovery process. These factors, internal and external, exist interactively in the lived experiences of the survivors. The limited availability of rehabilitation centres that are located in urban centres meant that recovery predominately occurred outside of the biomedical health and instead relied upon the resources available to individuals and their families. Methods: A qualitative approach with data from in-depth interviews and observations were used to identify contextual factors that shaped recovery following stroke in a community. Twenty-seven individuals with stroke were drawn from a health and demographic surveillance system in Malaysia. Results: Hope and optimism, coping strategies, motivation and support from family and friends, and the use of alternative and complementary medicine shaped the process of recovery within a context where infrastructure is extremely limited. Conclusion: The identification of factors that facilitate the recovery process provides a background in which health care providers can utilise to improve their understanding of the stroke experience. Such understanding could be instrumental in aiding health professionals to offer the most effective help to their clients. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONIdentification of contextual factors provides a background for the understanding of the stroke experience. Incorporation of religion into rehabilitation could support and maintain hope in recovery for the survivors and aid acceptance. A collaboration of healthcare professionals with traditional medicine therapists may prove beneficial for the rehabilitation of stroke survivors in Malaysia. ARTICLE HISTORY
