“…To create the maladaptive coping subscale, we summed 12 relevant items from six subscales (Self-Distraction, Denial, Substance Use, Behavioral Disengagement, Venting, and Self-Blame) to form a composite score, as done in some previous research (Kasi et al, 2012; Moore, Biegel, & McMahon, 2011). Internal consistency was high in this sample, with a Cronbach’s alpha of .80 for the 12 items.…”

Antenatal mental disorders compromise maternal and child health, and women who have experienced childhood trauma may be at increased risk for such disorders. One hypothesis is that early trauma leads to the development and use of maladaptive coping strategies as an adult, which in turn could predict mental health difficulties during stressful transitions such as pregnancy. To test this hypothesis, this study examined the relationship between childhood trauma and mental health (depression, PTSD) in a sample of 84 pregnant women seeking antenatal care in Cape Town, South Africa, and explored whether maladaptive coping mediated this relationship. The majority of women (62%) met established criteria for antenatal depression and 30% for antenatal PTSD; in addition, 40% reported a history of childhood trauma. Childhood trauma, especially childhood sexual abuse and emotional abuse, was significantly associated with depression and PTSD. The relationships between childhood trauma and depression and PTSD were significantly mediated by maladaptive coping, even when adjusted for the woman’s age, gestational age, and HIV status. Findings highlight the need for coping-based interventions to prevent and treat antenatal mental disorders among women with childhood trauma, particularly in high-trauma settings such as South Africa.

“…The 'Religion' coping strategy functions as a source of emotional support (8), and is often used (25)(26)(27) especially when someone experiences stress due to various reasons (24). Fortune et al (28) reported that lower distress was correlated with the 'Religion' coping strategy used by caregivers of schizophrenia patients.…”

Introduction: Caregivers often experience stressful situations while in the midst of the caregiving process. Thus, various methods of coping have been widely applied and studied in previous researches. The aim of this study was to develop a novel questionnaire to assess the coping strategies employed by those who provide care to patients, and to further validate it among caregivers of schizophrenia patients in Malaysia.Methods: This study, which involved the caregivers of schizophrenia patients from a hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was comprised of three parts, namely in-depth interviews, a pilot study, and the validation of the developed questionnaire, known as Caregiver Cope (CgCope TM ). Results: Part A originally consisted of eight themes, and it was later modified to seven themes with four items each after discussions with some experts. Part B initially had 28 items derived from the seven themes in Part A, which were then reduced to six components after a factor analysis. Part C of the questionnaire consisted of 19 items, with six components (Distraction, Caring for patient, Venting, Religion, Recreation, and Social support) having a moderate to high reliability ranging from a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.54 to 0.82. A factor analysis showed that the six factors of coping accounted for 62.36% of the total variance.Conclusion: The CgCOPE TM questionnaire is suitable for use among caregivers of schizophrenia patients. There is a need to further validate the instrument among caregivers of other patient populations.

Depression is one of the most prevalent mental conditions worldwide affecting the general population. Students are presumably prone to this condition because of academic and personal stressors. Depressed students employ a variety of coping methods to deal with their condition. A prospective study was conducted by stratified random sampling in which questionnaire was distributed randomly to 196 undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy students out of 401 registered students of the pharmacy department of the institution. The study estimated the incidence of depression using CES-D scale and determined different coping styles used by depressed university scholars with the help of 28-item Brief Cope inventory. Various academic and personal stressors were also identified. Overall, (118) 60% university scholars were depressed. Female students were more depressed than male students. Assignments, frequent examination and quizzes were the major stressors for the students. Religion and substance use were the most and least commonly used coping methods for depression, respectively. Measures should be taken by the institution to routinely assess the mental health status of students and health promotional programs should be initiated for improving the personal and professional life of university scholars.
