“…Emotion-and avoidance-oriented coping styles may lead to burnout or depression (Sears, Urizar and Evans, 2000, p. 56). Furthermore, a systematic review (Livneh, 2019) indicated that avoidance-oriented coping is linked to reports of poorer psychosocial adaptation to chronic illness and disability. This coping style was found to be particularly ineffective in reducing physical and emotional distress, depression, and anxiety, when confronting stressful life events and health-related conditions.…”

Although much research on emotional intelligence (EI) and coping with stress has been performed in recent years, little is known about these dimensions of individual differences in both foster and biological parents. The main purpose of this study is to examine emotional intelligence and coping styles in foster parents in comparison to biological parents. The study included 124 individual participants aged between 30 and 64 years old (M = 45.18, SD = 8.72), including foster parents (n = 63, 50.81%) and biological parents (n = 61, 49.19%). The cross-sectional survey study was conducted using the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). In comparison to biological parents, foster parents demonstrated significantly higher levels of emotional intelligence (EI), more frequently used task-oriented coping styles, and less often pursued emotional and avoidant coping strategies to deal with stress. EI was positively correlated with task-oriented coping and negatively so with emotional coping. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that EI was a strong predictor of task-oriented coping. Training focused on the enhancement of both EI and coping with stress should be considered as an effective way to improve parents’ competence.

“…Avoidance explained the association between the baseline vulnerability and the degree of distress measured at 12 months. Coping by avoidance has been linked to poorer psychosocial adaptation according to a systematic review published in 2019 (Livneh, 2019 ). The use of avoidance coping is largely ineffective when confronting stressful life events and health-related conditions.…”

“…The use of avoidance coping is largely ineffective when confronting stressful life events and health-related conditions. Furthermore, the reliance on avoidance strategies have been linked to poorer adaptation in a wide range of disorders (Livneh, 2019 ). Interventional studies targeted to reduce avoidance in women who have Overt POI are indicated.…”

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a clinical spectrum of ovarian dysfunction. Overt POI presents with oligo/amenorrhea and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism before age 40 years. Overt POI involves chronic health problems to include increased morbidity and mortality related to estradiol deficiency and the associated osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease as well as psychological and psychiatric disorders related to the loss of reproductive hormones and infertility. Presently, with standard clinical testing, a mechanism for Overt POI can only be identified in about 10% of cases. Now discovery of new mechanisms permits an etiology to be identified in a research setting in 25–30% of overt cases. The most common genetic cause of Overt POI is premutation in FMR1. The associated infertility is life altering. Oocyte donation is effective, although many women prefer to conceive with their own ova. Surprisingly, the majority who have Overt POI still have detectable ovarian follicles (70%). The major mechanism of follicle dysfunction in Overt POI has been histologically defined by a prospective NIH study: inappropriate follicle luteinization due to the tonically elevated serum LH levels. A trial of physiologic hormone replacement therapy, clinically proven to suppress the elevated LH levels in these women, may improve follicle function and increase the chance of ovulation. Here, we report the case of a woman with Overt POI diagnosed at age 35 years. To attempt pregnancy, she elected a trial of intrauterine insemination (IUI) in conjunction with follicle monitoring and physiologic hormone replacement therapy. She conceived on the eighth cycle of treatment and delivered a healthy baby. Our report calls for a concerted effort to define the best methods by which to optimize fertility for women who have POI.

“…Toutefois, les nombreux travaux menés dans ce domaine évaluent les stratégies de coping en s'appuyant sur des outils génériques comme le Ways of Coping Checklist (Vitaliano, Russo, Carr, & Maiuro, 1985), le Brief Cope (Carver, 1997), le Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (Endler & Parker, 1990) ou le COPE Inventory (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989), utilisés pour mesurer l'adaptation à divers stresseurs rencontrés aussi bien dans le cadre de la maladie, que dans la sphère sociale ou professionnelle. Même s'il a pu être montré un effet délétère des stratégies de coping évitantes ou centrées sur l'émotion des patients atteints de maladies chroniques (Mc Combie, Mulder, & Gearry, 2013), il est important de souligner que les stratégies mesurées à travers ces outils restent limitées à celles classiquement retrouvées dans la population générale et donc discutable au niveau de population vivant des situations spécifiques telles que la maladie (Livneh, 2019). En effet, très peu d'études qualitatives ont permis de mettre en lumière les stratégies déployées par les patients pour faire face à leur MICI (Byron, Cornally, Burton, Savage, 2020).…”
