          Abstract

          Aim

          This paper aimed to analyze the coping strategies adopted by patients in preparation to kidney transplant, as well as associations between coping and socio-demographic data.

          Method

          A total of 76 patients took part in this descriptive, exploratory study. While waiting for the first medical consultation regarding kidney transplantation, participants answered the Brazilian version of the Ways of Coping Scale.

          Results

          The main coping strategies adopted corresponded first to religiosity, then problem focused coping and seeking for social support. There were statistically significant associations between coping categories and gender, marital status, monthly income, children’s ages, and time in dialysis.

          Conclusion

          This study highlights the main coping strategies adopted by patients in preparation to kidney transplant, and it also reveals associations between some socio-demographic data and coping. These results may promote further psychosocial interventions, which may help to improve preparation to kidney transplants, promoting better adaptation and treatment adherence as well as fewer psychological burdens.

          Dynamics of a stressful encounter: cognitive appraisal, coping, and encounter outcomes.

          Susan Folkman, Richard S. Lazarus, Christine Dunkel-Schetter … (1986)
          Despite the importance that is attributed to coping as a factor in psychological and somatic health outcomes, little is known about actual coping processes, the variables that influence them, and their relation to the outcomes of the stressful encounters people experience in their day-to-day lives. This study uses an intraindividual analysis of the interrelations among primary appraisal (what was at stake in the encounter), secondary appraisal (coping options), eight forms of problem- and emotion-focused coping, and encounter outcomes in a sample of community-residing adults. Coping was strongly related to cognitive appraisal; the forms of coping that were used varied depending on what was at stake and the options for coping. Coping was also differentially related to satisfactory and unsatisfactory encounter outcomes. The findings clarify the functional relations among appraisal and coping variables and the outcomes of stressful encounters.

            Análise Fatorial de Uma Medida de Estratégias de Enfrentamento

            Eliane Maria Fleury Seidl, Bartholomeu T. Tróccoli, Célia Zannon (2001)
            O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a estrutura fatorial da Escala Modos de Enfrentamento de Problemas - EMEP, na versão adaptada para a população brasileira por Gimenes e Queiroz (1997), para mensurar estratégias de enfrentamento em relação a estressores específicos. A amostra foi composta por 409 adultos de ambos os sexos, onde 252 consideraram como estressor um problema atual que estivesse ocasionando estresse, enquanto 157 foram pessoas portadoras de enfermidades crônicas, que responderam à escala com base no problema de saúde que estavam apresentando. Foram extraídos quatro fatores pelo método dos eixos principais, rotação ortogonal: estratégias de enfrentamento focalizadas no problema, estratégias de enfrentamento focalizadas na emoção, práticas religiosas/pensamento fantasioso e busca de suporte social. A análise dos achados nas duas sub-amostras, diferenciadas quanto aos estressores dominantes, sugere possibilidades positivas de aplicação em contextos de pesquisa e de intervenção profissional, em especial a atuação clínica voltada para manejo do estresse junto a diferentes clientelas.

              Qualidade de vida de pessoas com doença renal crônica em tratamento hemodialítico

              Marielza R. Ismael Martins, Cláudia Bernardi Cesarino (2005)
              Este estudo descritivo objetiva avaliar a qualidade de vida de pessoas em tratamento de hemodiálise (HD) e identificar as atividades cotidianas que podem comprometer sua qualidade de vida. Foram pesquisadas 125 pessoas com insuficiência renal crônica (IRC) em tratamento de hemodiálise, mediante o Questionário Genérico de Qualidade de Vida SF-36 e as atividades cotidianas por uma entrevista semi-estruturada. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística, com nível de significância de 5%. Os resultados evidenciaram prejuízo na qualidade de vida, demonstrando menores escores nos domínios dos aspectos físicos, emocionais e vitalidade. Verificou-se correlação negativa entre tempo de HD e componente físico (r = - 0,75). As atividades corporais e recreativas foram as mais comprometidas tanto na amostra global quanto na estratificada por sexo. Observou-se correlação negativa entre tempo de HD e as atividades cotidianas: trabalho, atividades domésticas e atividades práticas.
