“…we took multiple approaches to measure coping flexibility, since there is no standardized method, and in our analyses, we controlled for emotional distress. we did not limit our inclusion criteria to a single diagnosis as it has been demonstrated repeatedly that severity and type of brain injury did not influence coping (2,38). The fact that our study sample is a mixed composition of patients with ABI due to stroke, TBI, and anoxic encephalopathy, among other causes, enhances the generalizability of our results.…”

Objectives: To investigate coping flexibility in patients with newly acquired brain injury and to investigate the influence of problem type, self-efficacy, self-awareness and self-reported executive functions on coping flexibility. Methods: Data were collected from a prospective clinical cohort study of 136 patients assessed after discharge home (mean time since injury = 15 weeks) and one year later. Situation-specific coping was measured by asking patients to complete the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) for 3 acquired brain injury (ABI)-related situations, which were then categorized into problem types (physical, cognitive, emotional, behavioural, communication, other). Coping consistency (number of strategies used throughout every situation) and variability (range in frequency of use of strategies over situations) were measured. Random effects regression analyses were used. Results: Patients used more task-oriented coping for cognitive compared with physical problems. Coping variability was limited. Reliance on emotion-oriented coping decreased over time. Higher self-efficacy correlated with increased task-oriented and avoidance coping and decreased emotionoriented coping. Greater self-reported problems in executive function correlated with greater consistency in task-oriented and emotion-oriented strategies. Conclusion: Patients with acquired brain injury rely on a defined set of coping options across situations and time. High self-efficacy increases active coping. Subjective executive dysfunction might hamper effective strategy selection.

“…Redfern and Coles [31] reviewed the literature on religiosity/spirituality and Parkinson's disease and showed that qualitative interview studies and case-control investigations arrived at different conclusions: most of the case-control studies [15][16][17][18] revealed decreases in religiosity, whereas qualitative studies [32][33][34] indicated that religious faith plays an important role in the life of Parkinson's patients. Giaquinto et al [35] also found that religious faith is preserved in Parkinson's disease.…”

Abstract:In this study, we aimed at investigating the validity and characteristics of the concept of hyporeligiosity in Parkinson's disease. Twenty-eight newly diagnosed, never-medicated patients with Parkinson's disease and 30 matched healthy control individuals received the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS), the Stolz's index of Christian religiosity, and the Francis Scale of Attitude to Christianity (FSAC). All participants identified themselves as Roman Catholic or Protestant. Parkinson's patients displayed decreased positive and negative spirituality on the BMMRS, whereas beliefs and attitudes related to their Christian religion were unchanged. The severity of the disease was associated with reduced spirituality, but not with Christian faith. These results suggest a dissociation between general spirituality and traditional religious faith in Parkinson's disease, which is consistent with the findings from patients with schizophrenia.

“…Our choice not to limit inclusion criteria for this study to a specific diagnosis was to increase generalizability and validity and recognizes that severity, localization, and type of brain injury do not seem to influence coping. 15,[45][46][47] Regarding self-efficacy, we assumed independence of injury characteristics. Our results cannot be extrapolated to the whole ABI population because we did not include people who required long-term residential care but we think our study sample is representative of the ABI population that is discharged home.…”

Coping with illness after brain diseasesa comparison between patients with malignant brain tumors, stroke, Parkinson's disease and traumatic brain injury

Abstract: Differences in coping styles could be mainly related to age and social factors. Individual coping strategies seem only to be little related to the type of brain pathology.
