Abstract: | Psychiatric workers facing redeployment completed questionnaire measures of stressors, resources (locus of control and perceived social support), coping, well-being, and negative affectivity, at baseline (N = 109) and 1 year later (loss of 7 participants). Regression analyses of the baseline data suggested that as stressors increased, so did avoidance coping, but less so for those high in internality or perceived social support. Problem-focused coping was bolstered by internality and emotion-focused coping by perceived social support. Other regression analyses, with a longitudinal aspect, suggested that stressors had a deleterious effect on well-being. Problem- and emotion-focused coping had beneficial effects, whereas avoidance coping had a (delayed) deleterious effect. These effects of coping were predominantly main and not buffering effects. |
