“…The obtained results promote a cognitive model for treatment of anxiety as a factor mediating coping for adolescents with MID (Dagnan & Jahoda, ; Hassiotis et al, ; Kurtek, ). This encourages the implementation of educational and rehabilitative strategies that could be geared at cognitive reevaluation of the notion of a difficult situation.…”

Although social integration of youths with intellectual disabilities improves their psychological adaptation, it nevertheless exposes them to a higher risk of stress. The author's goal was to verify the regulatory role of anxiety, respectively, as a trait and as a state in youth with mild intellectual disability who are coping with difficult situations. The study, involving a group of 120 students at the Education and Rearing Center in Kielce (Poland), used two psychological methods pertaining to a cognitive paradigm. The first was the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (ISCL-Polish version of STAI) and the other was the self-description technique of the authorship "That's Life," devised with the aim of revealing either task strategies or emotional and avoidant strategies adopted by the respondents. The tools are matched to specific cognitive abilities and social experiences typical of youth with mild intellectual disability. Correlative research model was applied. The results of linear regression and variance analyses showed the regulatory role of the state anxiety for youth with mild intellectual disability with reference to coping strategies. A higher intensity of anxiety stimulated their defensive activity, especially in the context of ambivalent conflicts, whereas a decrease in state anxiety led to their employing task-focused strategies. The results should encourage the development and application of anxiety-reducing techniques based on cognitive confrontation to activate task-oriented coping.

“…Low self-esteem may root in PMS physical and mental symptoms. Diverse treatments seem logical to be effective on psychological issues (40,41), which lead to a better performance in all phases of the menstrual cycle (42,43). A weak point in this study was that we did not compare the level of self-esteem with the control group without PMS.…”

Background Prior research has established health disparities between people with and without disabilities. However, disparities within the disability population, such as those related to type of disability, have been much less studied. Objective To examine differences in chronic conditions and health status between subgroups of people with different types of disability. Methods We analyzed Medical Expenditure Panel Survey annual data files from 2002-2008. Logistic regression analyses considered disparity from three perspectives: 1) basic differences, unadjusted for other factors; 2) controlling for key demographic and health covariates; and 3) controlling for a larger set of demographic variables and socioeconomic status as well as health and access to healthcare. Results Individuals with vision, physical, cognitive, or multiple disability types fared worse than people with hearing impairment on most health outcomes. This was most consistently true for people with multiple disabilities. Even when all covariates were accounted for, people with multiple types of disability were significantly more likely (p < 0.05) than those with hearing impairment (reference group) to report every poor health outcome with the exception of BMI ≥ 25 and lung disease. Conclusions While many of the differences between disability types were reduced when controlling for other factors, some differences remained significant. This argues for a more individualized approach to understanding and preventing chronic conditions and poor health in specific disability groups.
