“…In particular, a high level of resilience was protective against sleep disturbance when perceived stress was present. This finding corresponds with prior research showing that resilience negated the impacts of stress on outcomes (Palm‐Fischbacher & Ehlert, ; Peng et al, ). However, we did not find a significant interaction of perceived stress with social support on sleep disturbance, which is inconsistent with the study of van Schalkwijk, Blessinga, Willemen, Van Der Werf, and Schuengel ().…”

Sleep disturbance is often described as sleeping poorly, difficulty falling asleep and maintaining sleep, and waking early. Currently, most studies examining sleep disturbance have focused on negative psychological variables; however, few studies have combined both negative and positive psychosocial factors to assess sleep. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sleep disturbance and psychosocial correlates in Chinese community-dwelling adults. A total of 1471 adults, between 18 and 60 years old, from eight selected community settings in Jinan, China, were surveyed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Perceived Stress Scale, 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and provided sociodemographic information. We found that the prevalence of sleep disturbance was 33.9%. After adjusting for age, employment status and physical co-morbidity, perceived stress was significantly associated with sleep disturbance [odds ratio (OR) = 1.14, p < 0.001], while resilience and social support were associated with a low likelihood of sleep disturbance (OR = 0.90, p < 0.001; OR = 0.97, p < 0.001). Furthermore, regression analysis showed that the interaction between perceived stress and resilience was significant (p < 0.05). Resilience buffered the negative impact of perceived stress on sleep disturbance. Given the close relationship between sleep disturbance and psychosocial correlates, the development of effective intervention programmes to improve sleep quality in this population should be considered.

“…Each of the three variables has been studied as a mediator and/or a moderator between stressful situations and symptoms of physical/mental health (Balkis, 2011;Dardas & Ahmad, 2015;Grau, Salanova, & Peiró, 2001;Hain, Oddo-Sommerfeld, Bahlmann, Louwen, & Schermelleh-Engel, 2016;Hui, 2015;Palm-Fischbacher & Ehlert, 2014;Schönfeld, Brailovskaia, Bieda, Zhang, & Margraf, 2016;Tan-Kristanto & Kiropoulos, 2015;Tsarenko & Strizhakova, 2013;Wissing et al, 2011). The literature indicates that selfefficacy, resilience, and social support seeking each play an important role in influencing the relationship between stress and physical/mental health.…”

The authors explored resilience, self‐efficacy, and social support seeking as (a) mediators between stress and problem solving and (b) moderators buffering the effect of stress on avoidance. Participants were 220 college students. Structural equation modeling showed that resilience and self‐efficacy positively influenced problem solving but could not buffer stress's effect on avoidance. Social support seeking played a more important role than resilience and self‐efficacy in reducing avoidance when individuals intentionally used social support seeking as a source for problem solving instead of avoidance.

“…As a result of the increase in endorphins and dopamine depletion, prolactin (PRL) secretion, which is also a stress hormone, is exacerbated. The high concentration of PRL inhibits secretion of gonadotropic hormones of the hypophysis and, as a result, there is a decrease in the synthesis of estrogens and progesterone in the ovaries, that is the cause of menstrual cycle disorders, early ovarian depletion, amenorrhea, infertility, dyshormonal breast diseases, tumors of uterine and ovaries [7][8][9][10].…”

The number of appeals of migrant women and servicewomen for specialized gynecological care has increased during the years of the armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine. The aim of the work was a comprehensive study of the hormonal function of pituitary gland, ovaries, thyroid gland and adrenal glands in women of reproductive age with various types of menstrual cycle disorders caused by a prolonged stressful situation. Materials and methods. With the help of immune-enzyme analysis the authors have conducted a study of pituitary hormones (FSH, LH, prolactin), ovarian hormones (estradiol, progesterone, free T), thyroid hormones (TSH, FТ 4) and thyroid peroxidase antibodies, as well as adrenal glands hormones (ACTH, cortisol (urine), DHEA-s) of 74 migrant women and servicewomen with menstrual disorders caused by a stressful situation. According to complaints, women were divided into 2 subgroups: with amenorrhea 34 (45.9 %) and abnormal uterine bleeding-40 (54.1 %). Results. Women with stressed amenorrhea had a significant 2 times (P < 0.05) increase in FSH; 1.9 times-LH; 1.6 timesprolactin (which is not typical for classical hyperprolactinemia) and 3.2 times decrease in estradiol, 3.9 times-progesterone in comparison to the control group. Dysfunction of the thyroid gland was recorded, in particular 2 times decrease in FT 4 and 1.7 times increase in thyroperoxidase antibodies relative to the control. A significant 1.6 times increase in ACTH, 1.8 times increase in cortisol (urine) and 1.6 times increase in DHEA-s were detected compared with the control. Women with abnormal uterine bleeding had a significant 1.5 times (P < 0.05) increase in prolactin, 1.3 times increase in estradiol, and a 2.5 times decrease in progesterone compared to the control women group. 90.5 % of women of reproductive age with menstrual cycle disorders caused by the influence of prolonged stress factor had hormonal disorders of the ovaries, adrenal glands and thyroid gland. Conclusions. In women with stress-related amenorrhea there is a violation of the relationship in the hypothalamic-pituitary system while maintaining the negative feedback loops of the pituitary-ovarian axis or ovarian depletion; post-traumatic stress disorders have a significant pathological effect on the reproductive system of women who have experienced such suffering.

Dispositional resilience as a moderator of the relationship between chronic stress and irregular menstrual cycle

Abstract: These findings suggest that dispositional resilience may be a protective psychological trait that modulates reproductive functioning.
