“…As the COR theory [ 16 ] posits, the prevalence of workplace bullying is perceived to be a stressful working condition that could develop perceptions of substantial resource threats or loss or the experience of resource depletion [ 45 ]. As previously argued, psychological hardiness is a type of protective personal resources that individuals can utilize to preserve other resources or prevent further resource loss in coping with stress [ 38 , 43 ]. While we did not find the role of psychological hardiness in buffering the negative consequences of workplace bullying on psychological stress (H5a), we did find psychological hardiness to buffer the effect of psychological stress on workplace accidents and injuries (H5b).…”

“…Hardy individuals experience stressful work situations in ways that they appraise the potentially stressful situations as less threatening, thus, minimizing their experience of stress [ 38 ]. Indeed, research has long recognized that psychological hardiness acts as a protective or buffer factor in coping with work-related stress [ 42 ] and a resilience factor against the development of PTSD syndromes [ 43 ]. A recent study noted the importance of developing the resilience of nurses in New Zealand in creating a practice environment which reduces workplace bullying [ 44 ].…”

Workplace bullying are prevalent among the nursing workforce. Consequences of workplace bullying include psychological stress and workplace accidents and injuries. Psychological hardiness is proposed as a buffer for workplace bullying and psychological stress on workplace accidents and injuries. This study adopted the Affective Events Theory and Conservation of Resources Theory to develop and test a moderated mediated model in two field studies. Study 1 (N = 286, Australian nurses) found support for the direct negative effect of workplace bullying on workplace accidents and injuries with psychological stress acting as the mediator. The mediation findings from Study 1 were replicated in Study 2 (N = 201, New Zealand nurses). In addition, Study 2 supplemented Study 1 by providing empirical support for using psychological hardiness as the buffer for the association between psychological stress and workplace accidents and injuries. This study offers theoretical and empirical insights into the research and practice on psychological hardiness for improving the psychological well-being of employees who faced workplace mistreatments.

“…Other researchers show convincing empirical evidence that hardy persons are more likely to maintain health and build a career in stressful conditions [6,7,20,21]. The results of some studies confirm the idea that less hardy people tend to use exit strategies when faced with difficulties in life [22,23].…”

Stress factors are increasing in the modern world and the scientific community has to search for resources to ensure the effective functioning of the individual in all conditions. Numerous studies have shown that turning a traumatic situation into something positive improves physical health and well-being of the individual. They provided the foundations for the emergence of concepts which address global orientations that contribute to finding meaning and evoke positive emotions in difficult situations. Hardiness is an example of such an intrapersonal resource to cope with stress. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of regional and generational factors on the level of personality hardiness. This is a crosssectional study comparing the level of hardiness in people grouped by the region of residence and identification with a certain generation. The type of generational identity was determined through the answers to the question "Which generation values are closer to you?". The level of hardiness was assessed using the Russian version of the Hardiness Survey adapted by D.A. Leontiev. Multivariate analysis of variance was used for mathematical data processing. The study involved 128 participants (64 inhabitants of the Northwestern Federal district of Russia; 64 inhabitants of the Ural Federal district of Russia), of whom 64 were males and 64 were females, aged between 17 and 72. According to the generational identity, the respondents were divided into 4 groups of 32 each: postwar generation, Soviet generation, transitional generation, post-Soviet generation. The study showed that the level of personality hardiness depends on the region of residence. The joint influence of the regional and generational factors on the level of hardiness is significant. At the same time, in the Northwest Russia, the relationship between the studied variables is nonlinear (the lowest level of hardiness is observed in people identifying themselves as the postwar and post-Soviet generations), and in the Ural region it is linear (people identifying themselves as the postwar and Soviet generations have a higher level of hardiness than people identifying themselves as the transitional and Soviet generations). The results of the study have expanded the understanding of differences between generations and inhabitants of different regions of Russia.

“…Studies have also shown that the low expression of hardiness contributed to the explanation of a greater variation of PTSD symptoms than traumatic events themselves (40). Furthermore, in a prospective study by Tomassen et al (41) hardiness has had an indirect impact on reducing PTSD symptoms in Norwegian soldiers via reduced use of avoidance strategies -another risk factor significant for the emergence of PTSD. Hardiness is a feature that represents a set of personality traits that act as a protective factor in dealing nika djelujući na smanjeno korištenje strategija izbjegavanja -još jednoga od fakora rizika za nastanak PTSP-a.…”

Posttraumatski stresni poremećaj je produljena/odgođena reakcija na proživljeni traumatski događaj, koja se očituje psihološkim posljedicama poput izbjegavanja podsjetnika na traumu, ponovnog proživljavanja traumatskog događaja te pojačane pobudljivosti organizma. Desetljeća istraživanja ovog poremećaja rezultirala su proširivanjem spoznaja identifikacijom različitih faktora rizika, zaštitnih faktora te odrednica i korelata akutnog i kroničnog tijeka.Cilj ovog rada pružiti je što obuhvatniji pregled suvremenih spoznaja bioloških, psiholoških i socijalnih faktora rizika i korelata poremećaja kao i odrednica njegovog akutnog i kroničnog tijeka. Nalazi istraživanja ovog područja dotiču područja bioloških, psiholoških te socijalnih faktora u podlozi razvoja ovog poremećaja te ukazuju na potrebu za integrativnim pristupom razumijevanju njegova nastanka. Spoznaje nedovoljno istraženoga, no veoma relevantnoga područja socioekonomskih faktora rizika, također su prikazane. Zaključci mnogih istraživanja ovog područja, posebice njegovog kroničnog tijeka, odnose se na zapreke u smislu poteškoća razlučivanja čimbenika koji su premorbidni faktori od onih koji su posljedica samog tijeka poremećaja./ Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) presents a prolonged/delayed reaction to a traumatized event that manifests itself in psychological consequences such as avoiding traumatic reminders, re-experiencing a traumatic event, and intensifying body arousal. Decades of research of this disorder resulted in the expansion of knowledge through the identification of various risk and protective factors, and the determinants and correlates of its acute and chronic course. The aim of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive overview of the current discoveries of biological, psychological, and social factors of risk and correlates of the disorder as well as the determinants of its acute and chronic course. Research findings in this area address the areas of biological, psychological, and social factors underlying the development of this disorder and suggest the need for an integrative approach to understanding its origin. The findings from the understudied, but highly-relevant field of socio-economic risk factors are also presented. The conclusions of a lot of research in this area, particularly its chronic course, are related to obstacles in terms of the difficulty of distinguishing factors that represent premorbid factors than those resulting from the course of the disturbance itself.
