“…Higher SOC indicates an ability to cope with adversities such as war (Braun-Lewensohn & Sagy, 2014). Kimhi,Dror & Sterne 39 Results have indicated that higher SOC has been associated positively with protective factors (Ebert, Tucker, & Roth, 2002), and negatively with risk factors (Delgado, 2007), as well as laboratory induced stress (Kimhi, 2015). We assumed that SOC would positively predict resilience among both Jews and Israeli Arabs.…”

The current study examined levels of individual, community and national resilience as well as resilience protective and suppressing factors among Israeli Jewish (majority group) and Israeli Arab (minority group) students. Results indicated that Israeli Jewish students reported higher levels of individual, community and national resilience scale scores compared with Israeli Arab students. However, when resilience was measured as strength to vulnerability ratio, only individual resilience was significant. Results indicated a similar pattern of association between resilience protective and suppressive factors and measures of resilience. In addition, and as expected, Israeli Jewish students reported higher levels of sense of coherence, and reported higher quality of life. Israeli Arab students reported higher levels of distress symptoms and a higher level of exposure to terror. However, Israeli Jews reported a higher sense of danger compared with Israeli Arabs.

“…There is a body of literature highlighting the association of various coping strategies with adjustment, and acceptance of one's condition is an important basis for adapting to and coping with the condition (see, for example Felton and Revenson, 1984;Kendal and Buys, 1998;Delgado, 2007;Livneh and Antonak, 2007;among others). For participants in this study, the knowledge that generations of people, including their own ancestors, have faced similar disease in old age and that the rituals of their culture have proven valuable as a means for coping is a source of comfort and also a pattern for behavior in the context of serious illness.…”

“…In relation to elderly individuals, coping in the context of 'successful aging' has often been linked to the avoidance of disease and disability (Rowe and Kahn, 1987), although cognitive factors and a high level of social engagement are often included (Young, Frick and Phelan, 2009). A strong sense of coherence and personal spirituality have, for older populations, been associated with better coping and enhanced quality of life in chronic illness (Delgado, 2007).…”

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the relationship of spirituality and stress response including anger, depression, somatization, and job stress among Korean employees in small industries. Methods: The participants were 199 employees, aged 20 to 59, working in sixteen enterprises in C province. Workers responded to a questionnaire that included items on spirituality, a modified form of the stress response inventory (SRI-MF), and items on general characteristics. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 15.0 program. Results: The level for spirituality was moderate and for SRI low. The score for anger was found to be the highest stress response. There was significant negative relationships between spirituality and stress response, depression, and job stress.

Simple regression analysis showed that spirituality accounted for 37% of the SRI, a significant level. Conclusion:As the finding show that spirituality influenced the stress response of employees in small enterprises employee assistant programs (EAP) for stress management, which focus on the spirituality, age, marital status, religion, and education level, should be developed and provided for these employees.
