“…Interesting relations were noticed by Nelas et al [42] while studying QOL and the sensitivity to stress resulting from UI among women aged 58,42±11,52. An interesting difference in the perception of the limitations of social roles caused by problems with the bladder was observed among women aged 57-58.…”

“…Significance in this area was also achieved in the research by Fitz et al [35]. Nelas et al [42] observed that patients who lack support during the illness, have worse living conditions and are generally vulnerable to stress suffer more from the symptoms of SUI and they perform the aforementioned activities more intensively. While comparing group exercises with individual PFM exercises, Pereira et al [39] observed that PFM exercises significantly influence the changes in attitude towards UI and the reduction of the control of this area.…”

“…The exercises were carried out according to an original plan. In the research by Nelas [42], the emotional side of SUI was negatively correlated with the perfectionism of the patients, their emotional blocks or inhibitions, the lack of support or the susceptibility to stress. In the Nascimento-Correia et al research [41], no significant differences were achieved in terms of the changes of QOL of women who trained 1-hour group gymnastics for 12 months.…”

The research by Nelas et al [42] shows that the studied area of quality of life concerning interpersonal contacts is strongly associated with perfectionism, egocentrism and general sensitivity to stress.…”

Emerging studies allude to high stress in autistic adults. Considering the detrimental impact of stress on health outcomes, examining individual resources which may influence the extent to which stress is experienced (e.g., coping and resilience) is vital. Using a person‐focused approach, this study aimed to identify coping‐resilience profiles, and examine their relations to general perceived stress and daily hassles in a sample of autistic adults (N = 86; aged 19–74 years). Cluster analysis identified four coping‐resilience profiles (i.e., high cope/ low resilience, low cope/ high resilience, engage cope/ high resilience, and disengage cope/ low resilience). The high cope/ low resilience and disengage cope/ low resilience groups had significantly higher general perceived stress than the remaining groups. No significant group differences were noted in relation to daily hassles. Jointly addressing coping and resilience may be beneficial on the perceived stress experienced in autistic adults. The use of coping‐resilience profiles may also allow for the personalization of stress management and support options in the autistic adult population.
