Educators, academicians, and teachers are responsible for the development of the nation’s human capital. Teacher coping methods are becoming more widely recognized as a key factor in determining teacher effectiveness. The aim of this study was to identify the various coping strategies adopted by high school teachers in Southern India.

A cross‑sectional study was conducted in government, aided, and unaided schools of Udupi, a coastal district in Southern India. A self‑administered questionnaire was used to collect the data from 460 high school teachers chosen based on convenience sampling. The coping strategies were identified using a modified version of Brief COPE(Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced) Inventory (Carver, 1997). Data were entered using SPSS version 15 and descriptive statistics was performed.

The study found that teachers had moderate level of coping skills in all domains. The most popular coping techniques used by secondary school teachers were positive reframing, active coping, and planning; nevertheless, substance use was recognized as the least popular coping strategy.

Positive reframing, active coping, and preparation were the most commonly used coping strategies by the teachers in the survey. Teachers are a vital resource who have received less attention than they deserve for their psychological well‑being. A customized intervention program based on their perceived needs could be a good place to start.

Defect in metacognitive beliefs increases the vulnerability of children of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to mental health problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of religious coping skills training on modifying metacognitive beliefs among children of veterans with PTSD.

This semi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design with control group and one- month follow-up was conducted among 20 Shahed students (the children of veterans with PTSD) in Islamic Azad University-Roudehen Branch in 2016. The subjects were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to control and experimental groups (10 people in each group). The experimental group received 10 sessions of religious coping skills training and the control group did not receive training during this period. Both groups completed the metacognitions questionnaire (MCQ-30), before, after, and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22 software using multivariate analysis of variance.

In post-test step, only the components of positive beliefs about worry (F=3.511; p=0.045) and cognitive self-consciousness (F=6.482; p=0.008) were significantly different between the two groups. In the follow-up step, there was still a significant difference between the two control and experiment groups in terms of positive beliefs about worry (F=5.134; p=0.001) and cognitive self-consciousness (F=6.956; p=0.001).

The religious coping skills training improves some of the components of metacognitive beliefs that is, positive beliefs about worry and lack of cognitive self-consciousness that its effect persists after one month.

Studies have shown that family caregivers of hemodialysis patients experience high levels of burden. However, these caregivers are often neglected, and no studies are available on the effectiveness of coping strategies on the burden of care among these caregivers..
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of problem-focused coping strategies (communication skills, anger management, and deep breathing) on the burden on caregivers of hemodialysis patients..
Patients and A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 76 family caregivers of hemodialysis patients referred to Shahid Hasheminejad hemodialysis center in Tehran, Iran. The subjects were equally allocated into two groups of 38. Through a coin-tossing method, caregivers of patients who referred on even or odd days of the week were randomly assigned into the intervention group or the control group, respectively. The intervention group received four training sessions on problem-focused coping strategies, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Both groups answered the caregiver’s burnout inventory at the start and six weeks after the last educational session. Descriptive statistics, chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, independent-samples t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data..
The majority of caregivers (54%) were in the age range of 35 - 55 years, female (68.4%), and married (70%). No significant difference was found between the baseline mean caregivers’ burden scores of the intervention and control groups (88.56 ± 11.74 vs. 84.97 ± 15.13, P = 0.308). However, the mean caregivers’ burden in the intervention group decreased, and the two groups were significantly different at the end of the study (58.77 ± 6.64 vs. 87.84 ± 11.74, P The current study showed the effectiveness of problem-focused coping strategies on reducing the burden on caregivers of hemodialysis patients. Authorities and policymakers in the healthcare system are responsible for developing strategies to integrate educational programs, such as the program implemented in the current study, into the country’s healthcare system..

Breast cancer (BC) is a common malignancy among women. BC is a stressor in life that affects coping strategies and quality of life. This study performed to improve the quality of life in women with maladaptive coping style. A randomized clinical trial, held in 2011. Patients with maladaptive coping strategy were included in the study. 62 patients were randomized into two groups. Before and after 8 weeks of coping therapy, the quality of life was measured. General linear model was used for analysis. The mean age in the intervention and control group was 45.10±7.34, 46.52±6.20 respectively (P-value>0.5). Functional health significantly improved after the intervention(p-value<0.005), but in the control it decreased (p-value=0.029). Symptom health between the two groups demonstrated no difference before and after intervention. General health improved in the intervention group (p-value=0.017). However, in the control group it was not significant (p-value=0.128). Problem-focused coping strategies in the intervention group improved markedly (p-value= 0.003) whereas, the control group did not reveal significant differences (p-value=0.196). The results showed that the coping skill training program can improve the overall quality of life of breast cancer in women, and indicated that the care of breast cancer should address psychological issues and the finding points to the importance of taking individual coping strategies into account when evaluating the impact of breast cancer on psychosocial well-being.

The purpose of this study was to investigate job stress, stressful life events and coping styles among shift and non-shift workers. The present study was a comparative study. The Statistical population consisted of all workers in an industrial company in Isfahan. A sample 90 workers (45 shift workers and 45 non-shift workers) were selected via simple random sampling. Data was collected through administration of scales of job stress with three dimensions including physical environment, role conflict, and role ambiguity (Hellriegel and Slocum, 1996), Social Readjustment Rating Scale (Holmes and Rahe, 1967) and coping styles scale with dimensions including effective and ineffective coping styles (Carver, Scheier and Weintrub, 1989). Results were analyzed using MANOVA test. Results indicated that in job stress, its dimensions, stressful life events and coping styles between shift and non-shift workers there were significant differences (p<0.01). Based on this study, it was understand that shift workers scored significant higher in job stress, its dimensions, stressful life event and coping styles and indicated the importance of shift work in stress.

Nursing jobs are among the occupations experiencing high levels of stress. Level of psychological well-being and coping style with stressful situations among nurses has large impact on their job performance. Limited information exists about the relationship between coping styles and psychological well-being among nurses, so the present study examined the way of coping and the level of psychological well-being as well as their relationships among nurses. In this correlational study, 100 nurses from Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences were selected by multi-stage random sampling in 2012. Lazarus and Folkman''s coping styles and Ryff''s psychological well-being Questionnaires were completed by self-report method. Collected data were entered software SPSS ver. 13 and then analyzed using Pearson correlation test. The results showed EFCSwere more used but PFCSstyle was less used with a little difference by mean (SD) of 87.91 (10.76) vs. 73.12 (12.15). Between EFCSand some psychological well-being dimensions such as purpose in life (P=0.01, r= - 0.28) and personal development (P= 0.03, r= - 0.024), a significant negative association and between PFCSstyle and purpose in life, a significant positive relationship was found (P=0.006, r= 0.31). Considering that PFCSstyle is more effective in solving problems and job stress, as well as, the increased use of EFCSis associated with adverse health consequences, improvement of nurses'' coping strategies to cope better with stressful events by skill training and promotion of nurses'' psychological well-being level is recommended.
