[The role of coping strategies in posttraumatic growth in medical rescue workers].

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The purpose of the research was to investigate the role of coping strategies with stress in posttraumatic growth in a group of medical rescue workers. MATERIAL AND METHODS:The data on 80 medical rescuers who had experienced traumatic event in their worksite were analyzed. The age of the participants ranged from 21 to 67 years (M= 35.47; SD = 10.21). The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and Inventory to Measure Coping Strategies with Stress - Mini-Cope were used in the study. RESULTS:The results revealed that the strategy "turning to religion" plays the major role in posttraumatic growth. CONCLUSIONS:In the process of emerging positive changes posttraumatic growth avoidance strategies seem to play more important role than strategies focused on the problem itself.
