This study aimed to determine whether the various factors of coping as measured by the Brief COPE could be integrated into a more parsimonious hierarchical structure. To identify a higher structure for the Brief COPE, several measurement models based on prior theoretical and hierarchical conceptions of coping were tested. First, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) results revealed that the Brief COPE's 14 original factors could be represented more parsimoniously with 5 higher order dimensions: problem-solving, support-seeking, avoidance, cognitive restructuring, and distraction (N = 2,187). Measurement invariance across gender was also shown. Second, results provided strong support for the cross-validation and the concurrent validity of the hierarchical structure of the Brief COPE (N = 584). Results indicated statistically significant correlations between Brief COPE factors and trait anxiety and perceived stress. Limitations and theoretical and methodological implications of these results are discussed.

BackgroundThe Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief COPE) inventory is the most usual measure to identify the nature of coping strategies implemented by individuals and explore 14 coping strategies. The availability of a structure with fewer factors rather than the initial 14-factor structure may be of interest for both healthcare professionals and researchers. We report the validation process of a 4-factor structure of the French version of the Brief COPE in a French sample of individuals facing a singular life event, such as cancer, including patients and their caregivers.MethodsThe cross-sectional study included cancer patients and their caregivers. Self-administered data were collected including: socio-demographic (age, gender, marital status, employment status, and education level), coping strategies using the French version of the Brief COPE, quality of life (QoL) using the French version of the short form health survey questionnaire (SF36). Construct validity, internal consistency, reliability, and external validity were tested.ResultsThe sample included 398 individuals. The principal component factor analysis identified a 4-factor structure. The dimensions were labeled according to their constitutive items: social support (8 items), problem solving (4), avoidance (10), and positive thinking (6). The 4-factor structure was supported by different theoretical models of coping and showed satisfactory psychometric properties.ConclusionThe 4-factor structure of the French version of the Brief COPE, validated in a sample of individuals facing a singular stressful event, including cancer patients and their caregivers, makes the instrument easier to use both in clinical practice and clinical research.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12955-016-0581-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In a large cohort of children with single ventricle, McCrindle et al showed that a lower family income had a negative impact on both physical and psychosocial QoL scores [27]. A low socioeconomic status among CHD adults has also been recently found to be associated with exercise intolerance [11] and ''avoidance behavior'' coping strategy [12]. Therefore, caregivers should consider this financial aspect in the follow-up of patients with CHD, even in pediatric age.…”

To assess the health-related quality of life (QoL) in children with congenital heart diseases (CHD) with a validated questionnaire in comparison with control children. We prospectively recruited 282 children with CHD aged from 8 to 18 years in two tertiary care centers (France and Belgium) and 180 same-age controls in randomly selected French schools. Children's QoL was self-reported with the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire and reported by parents with the KIDSCREEN-27. QoL scores of each dimension were compared between CHD and controls and between the classes of disease severity. Both centers were comparable for most demographic and clinical data. Age- and gender-adjusted self-reported QoL scores were lower in CHD children than in controls for physical well-being (mean ± SEM 45.97 ± 0.57 vs 50.16 ± 0.71, p < 0.0001), financial resources (45.72 ± 0.70 vs 48.85 ± 0.87, p = 0.01), peers/social support (48.01 ± 0.72 vs 51.02 ± 0.88, p = 0.01), and autonomy in the multivariate analysis (47.63 ± 0.69 vs 49.28 ± 0.85, p = 0.04). Parents-reported scores were lower in CHD children for physical (p < 0.0001), psychological well-being (p = 0.04), peers/social support (p < 0.0001), and school environment (p < 0.0001) dimensions. Similarly, the disease severity had an impact on physical well-being (p < 0.001), financial resources (p = 0.05), and peers/social support (p = 0.01) for self-reported dimensions, and on physical well-being (p < 0.001), psychological well-being (p < 0.01), peers/social support (p < 0.001), and school environment (p < 0.001) for parents-reported dimensions. However, in multivariate analysis on self-reported QoL, disease severity was significantly associated with the self-perception dimension only. Self-reported QoL of CHD children was similar to that of same-age healthy children in seven of 10 dimensions, but parents-reported QoL was impaired in four of five dimensions.
