Background Coping strategies are frequently used among individuals with physical disabilities when they face adversities. Low- and middle-income countries are not investigated coping styles among psychological distress persons with disabilities despite the high prevalence of psychological distress. The aim of this study was to identify coping strategies among people with physical disabilities for their psychological distress in Ethiopia has a crucial role to improve the health status of persons with physical disabilities. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was employed among individuals living with physical disabilities at the University of Gondar staff and students from May to June 2021. All staff and students with physical disabilities were screened for psychological distress (n = 269). The census sampling technique was used to select the study participants for psychological distress. The Brief Cope with Problems Experienced (COPE-28) was used to assess coping strategies. Bivariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with coping strategies. An odd ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) at P < 0.05 was computed to assess the strength of the association. Results The emotional-focused coping strategy was the most frequently used when dealing with psychological distress among participants with physical disabilities. The most commonly used emotional-focused coping strategy was spirituality. In the multivariate analyses; urban residence (β = 3.05, 95% CI: 0.98, 5.12), and stigma (β = 3.10, 95% CI: 0.61, 2.83) were factors positively associated with emotion-focused coping strategy, and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHO QOL) (β = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.22), and stigma (β = 1.11, 95% CI: 0.61, 2.83) were factors significantly associated with problem-focused coping. Urban residence (β= -0.96, 95% CI: -1.69, -0.22) was negatively associated with dysfunctional coping strategy, but WHO QOL (β = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.32, 0.38) was positively correlated with dysfunctional coping. Conclusion In this study revealed that spirituality is the most frequently used coping strategy among the study participants. Urban residents, stigma, and WHO QOL significantly correlated with coping strategies among such patients. The Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, and other concerned organizations may find the present findings useful to strengthen the coping styles to minimize psychological distress among people with physical disabilities.

“…Basic hope is a fundamental belief in two features of the world: its order and sense and general positivity toward humans (Trzebiński & Zięba, 2004). Basic hope positively correlates with disability acceptance, (Byra, 2014) posttraumatic growth, (Byra, 2018a), problem-solving coping (Byra, 2016), self-efficacy, and negatively with avoidance and emotion-focused coping in people with SCI (Byra & Ćwirynkało, 2018). Previous studies have shown a significant correlation between basic hope and coping strategies in people with long-term SCI (Byra, 2016).…”

“…In addition, low levels of self-efficacy can be a primary risk factor for maladaptive adjustment in people with SCI (Craig et al, 2013). General self-efficacy is also an important determinant of coping with the encountered challenges (Bhattarai et al, 2018; Byra & Ćwirynkało, 2018; Umucu et al, 2016). Women with SCI have been found to have lower general self-efficacy than men (Byra, 2011).…”

The present study aimed to investigate the indirect effect of appraisal of disability on the relationship between basic hope and coping strategies in women with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI), taking into account the moderating role of general self-efficacy. A cross-sectional study with 187 women with paraplegia was conducted. Main outcome measures, the Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced (COPE), the Basic Hope Inventory (BHI), Appraisals of Disability Primary and Secondary Scale (ADAPSS), and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), were used. Our study showed that the strategies most commonly used by participants are seeking emotional support, religion, and acceptance. More than 45% of the respondents reveal average levels of basic hope, 58.82% reveal high levels of general self-efficacy, and most of them assessed their disability as determined resilience while noticing its negative aspects. The indirect effect of disability appraisal on the relationship between basic hope and coping strategies (denial, focus on emotions, seeking emotional support, religion, and acceptance) was confirmed. The moderating role of general self-efficacy in this analysis of mediating was also confirmed. General self-efficacy plays a significant role in explaining the relationship between basic hope and coping strategies mediated by appraisals of disability in women with long-term SCI.

Pojava tjelesnog invaliditeta kod osobe uzrokuje snažan emocionalni odgovor. Taj složeni obrazac individualnih reakcija determiniran je različitim čimbenicima i emocionalnim potrebama. Promjene u psihičkom i emocionalnom životu osobe, percepcija o vlastitom invaliditetu, ograničenja koja proizlaze iz tjelesnog invaliditeta i negativni stavovi okoline samo su neki od čimbenika psihološke dimenzije invaliditeta. U suočavanju s novonastalim tjelesnim invaliditetom osoba se koristi strategijama suočavanja u cilju ponovnog uspostavljanja narušene ravnoteže. Ukoliko izostane podrška okoline, utoliko će proces suočavanja i/ili prilagodbe biti otežan ili onemogućen. Strategija suočavanja s novonastalim tjelesnim invaliditetom neće se adekvatno odvijati i razviti, što se može negativno odraziti na fizičko, psihičko, socijalno i duhovno funkcioniranje osobe. Psihološka dimenzija tjelesnog invaliditeta može biti presudna u procesu suočavanja s nastalim tjelesnim invaliditetom, postizanju samostalnosti, razvijanju otpornosti prema vanjskim pritiscima i samoostvarenju osobe. Medicinske sestre aktivno sudjeluju u procesu suočavanja i prilagođavanja osobe s tjelesnim invaliditetom na novonastalo stanje.
