“… 22 We used Brief COPE because it has adequate psychometric properties, and it evaluates various coping strategies in an efficient way based on Lazarus and Folkman’s model of coping along with behavioral self-regulation. 21 Other stress-coping tools used in international studies among consultants or other senior levels of physicians included the older 20-item Carver COPE instrument, 9 a 19-item German stress-coping inventory (SVF), 14 a 20-item Scottish coping questionnaire, 4 and a 48-item Parker and Endler Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). 8 , 15 Although we used a different instrument, our finding is consistent with existing studies on coping and stress among physicians.…”

“… 4 , 9 Stress-coping strategies have been described differently in different studies: adaptive versus maladaptive; 9 – 11 problem-focused versus emotion-focused; 11 task-oriented versus emotion-oriented; 8 healthy versus non-effective/maladaptive; 12 good versus bad; 13 and positive versus negative stress-coping strategies. 14 Active coping, planning, and acceptance were among the frequently reported adaptive stress-coping strategies among physicians including consultants. 9 , 11 On the other hand, drug/alcohol use, self-distraction, and behavioral disengagement were among the most frequently reported maladaptive stress-coping strategies among most physicians, including consultants.…”

“…Surgical trainees are subjected to potential prolonged sleep deprivation and high job demands, with only some control over their work schedules and tasks . While there are several studies describing coping strategies used by medical professionals, techniques specifically used by surgical trainees to help them cope with their lengthy training period are less well described. Four studies were identified that discuss strategies used by trainees to help them cope with stress and burnout .…”

“…Coping strategies are practiced in different ways by various physician specialities. In example, a cardiac surgeon study revealed that experienced surgeons tended to use negative coping strategies more (Spiliopoulos et al, 2014).While avoidance and self-treating are negative strategies, one London study recently reported a four-fold increase in physician self-referrals to mental health practitioners (Brooks et al, 2011). Previous reviews demonstrate that cognitive and behavioral interventions, as well as mindfulness, significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety in physicians.…”
