“…The reported relation of perceived stress and age in most recent previous studies [6, 68] was in contrast with our findings. This difference may be attributed to socioeconomic status of Iranian society that the young people more faced with high levels of stress due to financial problems and job insecurity.…”

Objective. The present paper aimed at investigating the association between perceived stress and major life events stressors in Iranian general population. Methods. In a cross-sectional large-scale community-based study, 4583 people aged 19 and older, living in Isfahan, Iran, were investigated. Logistic quantile regression was used for modeling perceived stress, measured by GHQ questionnaire, as the bounded outcome (dependent), variable, and as a function of most important stressful life events, as the predictor variables, controlling for major lifestyle and sociodemographic factors. This model provides empirical evidence of the predictors' effects heterogeneity depending on individual location on the distribution of perceived stress. Results. The results showed that among four stressful life events, family conflicts and social problems were more correlated with level of perceived stress. Higher levels of education were negatively associated with perceived stress and its coefficients monotonically decrease beyond the 30th percentile. Also, higher levels of physical activity were associated with perception of low levels of stress. The pattern of gender's coefficient over the majority of quantiles implied that females are more affected by stressors. Also high perceived stress was associated with low or middle levels of income. Conclusions. The results of current research suggested that in a developing society with high prevalence of stress, interventions targeted toward promoting financial and social equalities, social skills training, and healthy lifestyle may have the potential benefits for large parts of the population, most notably female and lower educated people.

“…While the infertile women with low educational level used active and passive-avoidance coping strategies significantly more than the women with higher educational level (table 5). This finding may be attributed to the fact that highly educated women are more prone to use problem-focused approaches, such as doing something regarding a problem, outlining the cause, thinking through the situation and looking for (37) research, they did investigate the association of socioeconomic status and life-style factors with coping strategies in Isfahan Healthy Heart Program, Iran. They found that there was a positive relation between high education level and adaptive coping strategies and a negative relation between low education level and mal-adaptive coping strategies.…”

“…In that study, the investigators found the significant effects of the education variable on coping strategy, and detected a positive and negative association between the number of education year with adaptive coping strategies and maladaptive coping strategies, respectively; interestingly, the sex variable could modify its effect. In addition, compared to other job positions, they found that manual workers used maladaptive strategies more frequently (30). This difference effect could be the result of the type of studied population.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to unveil the effect of depression death and anxiety death on coping style among coronary heart disease (CHD) patients in Tabriz, a city in the Northwest of Iran. Materials and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 293 coronary heart disease patients were recruited from three hospitals in Tabriz from January to July 2015. Socio-demographic characteristics and CHD clinical history were archived by a checklist. Validated self-administered questionnaires were used to measure death depression, death anxiety, and coping style. The association between death depression and death anxiety with coping style was evaluated, using multivariable linear regression. Results:In this study, the participants were 60 ± 11 years of age. Death depression was most significantly influenced by occupation, and the death anxiety level was affected by the history of hospitalization with CHD. The coping style level was not statistically significant across sociodemographic and CHD clinical history characterises. In death depression, the third quartile was significantly and inversely associated with coping style, compared to reference category; β (95% CI); -1.60 (-2.97 to -0.27), P value = 0.02. Conclusions:Among CHD patients, death depression and death anxiety could be influenced by sociodemographic and CHD history background characteristics, respectively. Death depression could be considered as a determinant for coping style.
