“…In order to identify specific items for a possible future screening questionnaire variables included individual items from questionnaires. Antenatal and perinatal variables included: depression (the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale -EPDS; Cox, Holden, & Sagovsky, 1987) Peirce, Frone, Russell, & Cooper, 1996), and coping style (the Coping Style Questionnaire, CSQ; Billings & Moos, 1981).…”

Objective: Around 50% of women report symptoms that indicate some aspect of their childbirth experience was "traumatic", and at least 3.1% meet diagnosis for PTSD 6 months post partum. Here we aimed to conduct a prospective longitudinal study and examine predictors of birth-related trauma -predictors that included a range of pre-event factors -as a first step in the creation of a screening questionnaire. Method:Of the 933 women who completed an assessment in their third trimester, 866 were followed-up at 4 to 6 week postpartum. Two canonical discriminant function analyses were conducted to ascertain factors associated with experiencing birth as traumatic and, of the women who found the birth traumatic, which factors were associated with those who developed PTSD.Results: A mix of 16 pre-birth predictor variables and event-specific predictor variables distinguished women who reported symptoms consistent with trauma from those who did not. Fourteen predictor variables distinguished women who went on to develop PTSD from those who did not. Conclusions:Anxiety sensitivity to possible birthing problems, breached birthing expectations, and severity of any actual birth problem, predicted those who found the birth traumatic. Prior trauma was the single most important predictive factor of PTSD. Evaluating the utility of brief, cost-effective, and accurate screening for women at risk of developing birth-related PTSD is suggested.

“…Lazarus and Folkman (1986) defined coping as "those changing cognitive and behavioral efforts developed for managing the specific external and/or internal demands judged as exceeding or surpassing the individual's own resources". Generally, there are three methods of coping strategies: active-behavioral, active-cognitive, and avoidance (Billings & Moos 1981). And regarding the objectives of the coping strategies, it can be oriented towards the problem or oriented to the emotion (Lazarus & Folkman, 1986;Edwards, 1988;Begley, 1998).…”

Job stress and burnout are considered as main problems affect employees' health and the coping strategies are oriented either towards the problem or to the emotion. And there is an association between burnout and occupational stress. Coping strategies are related to burnout, in favor of positive strategies. The personality influences the types of coping strategies that used by the individual. The aim of this study is to identify the level of using coping strategies to confront problems and work stress among the health practitioners, according to their personality type. This is the descriptive cross sectional study targeted the Health Care Providers and using personality type (A and B) scale and stress-coping strategies scale on burnout. This study revealed that most of the study sample was having personality type (A), and the respondents used coping strategies in various ways and degrees. The health practitioners having personality type (A) were with low coping forces and they used positive and negative coping strategies frequently more than health practitioners having type (B) personality.
