Trata-se de um estudo que possui como objeto as cargas de trabalho de enfermagem em hospital psiquiátrico e as repercussões para a saúde. O trabalho da enfermagem em hospital psiquiátrico tem particularidades ao se considerar a dinâmica do serviço e o cuidado de pacientes com diversos perfis de adoecimento psíquico; portanto com necessidades de cuidados e monitoramento extenuantes por parte da enfermagem durante 24 horas. Objetivos: identificar as cargas de trabalho vivenciadas pelos trabalhadores de enfermagem em um hospital psiquiátrico; descrever como as cargas de trabalho no hospital psiquiátrico afetam a saúde dos trabalhadores de enfermagem; analisar os mecanismos de enfretamento adotados pelos trabalhadores de enfermagem diante das cargas de trabalho no hospital psiquiátrico. Estudo qualitativo, exploratório e descritivo, tendo como campo um hospital psiquiátrico, situado no município do Rio de Janeiro. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa e protocolado com o n 619.262. A coleta de dados ocorreu no primeiro semestre de 2014, tendo participado do estudo 30 trabalhadores de enfermagem (enfermeiros, técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem) a partir dos critérios de inclusão estabelecidos. Na coleta dos dados, realizada no primeiro semestre de 2014, trabalhou-se com a técnica de entrevista do tipo semiestruturada mediante um roteiro e na caracterização dos participantes, utilizou-se um instrumento autoaplicado. Após a transcrição dos depoimentos recorreu-se à análise de conteúdo do tipo temática, que apontou os seguintes resultados: as cargas presentes em hospital psiquiátrico, na visão dos trabalhadores, devem-se aos cuidados prestados aos pacientes de ordem subjetiva e objetiva, como também em relação à imprevisibilidade do quadro clínico, principalmente nas emergências psiquiátricas. Para o grupo, as cargas de trabalho, tanto físicas quanto psíquicas são intensificadas em função da precariedade das condições de trabalho, a ausência de poder do trabalhador frente a organização e ao volume de trabalho. As cargas acarretam o sofrimento psíquico evidenciado através de queixas como cansaço, nervosismo, incômodo, ansiedade, irritação e desgaste, dores musculares, insônia e cefaleia. Diante do sofrimento psíquico decorrente das cargas de trabalho o grupo elabora mecanismos de enfrentamento centrados na solução de problemas; momentos em que buscam a chefia e conversam com os pares. Quanto aos mecanismos de enfrentamento centrados na emoção, os trabalhadores, buscam afastar-se temporariamente do trabalho, procuram não pensar, não falar a respeito ou extravasam a tensão através de gestos e reclamações. Conclui-se que o hospital psiquiátrico possui cargas de trabalho específicas em função do tipo de trabalho realizado e clientela assistida que exigem dos trabalhadores de enfermagem observação e cuidados contínuos. Pelo fato de as cargas acarretarem prejuízos à saúde do trabalhador, há necessidade de uma política voltada para a prevenção e a promoção da saúde do grupo. Sugere-se a criação e manutenção de grupos de suporte aos trabalhadores com vistas a elaboração e discussão dos problemas enfrentados, assim como a continuidade dos estudos.

A proposta deste estudo é entender o fenômeno da adolescente em situação de rua através da Teoria das Representações Sociais, buscando a imbricação de relações, funções, tensões, saberes, valores que constroem e transformam as práticas cotidianas familiares para produzir o afastamento do convívio familiar ou prevenir a desafiliação. O objetivo principal é analisar o processo de desafiliação vivido na família e a possibilidade de sua prevenção a partir das representações sociais sobre a adolescente em situação de rua na perspectiva da própria adolescente. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, na qual 21 adolescentes com experiência de viver na rua foram acessadas em um abrigo da rede municipal. Os dados foram produzidos através da entrevista semi-estruturada e analisados à luz da análise temático-categorial de conteúdo com auxílio do software NVivo. Os resultados indicam que a representação social da adolescente em situação de rua para a própria adolescente envolve um circuito que compreende a tradicional imagem do menor carente e abandonado, por suas perdas e ausências que constituem verdadeiros desafios de sobrevivência, para os quais encontram formas de enfrentamento em sua maioria consideradas desviantes, acrescentando a imagem da delinquência e criminalidade. Contudo, as práticas, relações, valores e lógicas estabelecidas, que tornam possível esse modo de viver, dão contorno a uma imagem da adolescente ancorada em atributos positivos como força, alegria, inteligência, afetividade, sagacidade/habilidade/capacidade de aprendizado, sinalizando uma ruptura (ainda que parcial) na tradicional representação da mulher como sexo frágil e submisso. O processo de desafiliação, por sua vez, é gradualmente constituído, de um lado pelos diversos fatores de esgarçamento dos laços familiares, e, de outro lado, pela aproximação e socialização com a rua, sendo fortemente influenciado pelas representações sociais acerca da adolescente em situação de rua (pela familiaridade com as práticas relacionadas com este modo de viver, mas, principalmente, pelos atributos positivos relativos à ideia de liberdade, força, diversão, facilidade, enfrentamento). Conhecer e valorizar a trajetória, crenças e representações de cada família e a estrutura de práticas e relações, situando-a num contexto histórico e cultural parece fundamental para a atuação junto às famílias e às adolescentes. A lógica das políticas públicas voltadas para a família deve considerar a instrumentalização que viabilize a atuação com base nesses parâmetros.

Este estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar a qualidade de vida e suas representações em momentos distintos de diagnóstico entre pessoas que vivem com o HIV/aids, no município de Rio das Ostras, Rio de Janeiro. O estudo foi apoiado na teoria das representações sociais associada ao constructo da qualidade de vida. Realizou-se estudo quali-quantitativo, desenvolvido no Programa de DST, AIDS e Hepatites Virais do município de Rio das Ostras, tendo como sujeitos e amostra 100 pessoas que viviam com HIV/aids. A amostra foi estratificada, contando com 50 pessoas com tempo de diagnóstico de até 6 meses e 50 superior a 6 meses. A coleta de dados se deu através da aplicação de um questionário de caracterização socioeconômica e clínica, instrumento WHOQOL-HIV-Bref e entrevistas semiestruturadas, durante o período compreendido entre os meses de maio de 2013 a janeiro de 2014. Todos os sujeitos responderam aos dois primeiros instrumentos, e para as entrevistas foi constituída uma subamostra de 40 pessoas, igualmente distribuídas em dois grupos de acordo com o tempo de diagnóstico. A análise dos dados foi realizada através de estatística descritiva e inferencial utilizando o software SPSS 17.0. A análise das representações sociais foi apoiada pelo software Alceste 4.10. O grupo estudado caracterizou-se igualitariamente entre os sexos, com orientação religiosa evangélica (36%), média de idade de 37,6 anos, residentes no município de tratamento (89%), escolaridade fundamental e média incompleta (48%), empregados (65%), com renda pessoal média de R$ 1.077,00, com tempo de diagnóstico menor que quatro anos (68%), em uso de terapia antirretroviral (74%) e tempo de uso de terapia antirretroviral menor que quatro anos (52%). Os resultados da análise da qualidade de vida demonstraram que os escores dos domínios espiritualidade/religião/crenças pessoais (14,61) e relações sociais (14,52) apresentaram as maiores médias brutas, dentre aquelas com tendência positiva de avaliação. As médias mais baixas recaíram nos domínios nível de independência (13,77) e meio ambiente (13,29). Observou-se que o tempo de diagnóstico não interferiu nos escores de qualidade de vida da amostra. A representação da qualidade de vida revelou-se constituída por conteúdos associados às expectativas futuras, qualidade de vida frente ao diagnóstico, enfrentamento, uso do antirretroviral, transmissão e prevenção. Nesses conteúdos observou-se que essa representação compartilha significados, apontando para a hipótese de representação não autônoma em relação a representação social da aids. Conclui-se que o grupo possui mecanismos de adaptação à situação vivenciada, revelando percepção da necessidade de autocuidado e manutenção de uma rede de apoio alicerçada na espiritualidade/religiosidade e nas relações sociais, o que faz crer existir um caminhar progressivo para novos sistemas de interpretação, regendo relações mais positivas e objetivadas na representação social da qualidade de vida.

Esta pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo a violência nas relações de namoro de adolescentes em situação de acolhimento. Objetivos: identificar as características das relações de namoro das adolescentes em situação de acolhimento; analisar as vivências da violência nas relações de namoro das adolescentes em situação de acolhimento; descrever as repercussões da violência na vivência das adolescentes. Estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório, tendo como cenário de pesquisa uma unidade pública municipal de acolhimento para adolescentes, localizado na Zona Norte do município do Rio de Janeiro. Os dados foram coletados no período de março a maio de 2014, após a aprovação pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. O estudo foi realizado com sete adolescentes que residem na unidade de acolhimento, com idades de 12 a 18 anos e que responderam a entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram analisados através da técnica de análise de conteúdo tendo emergido três categorias: Características das relações de namoro na perspectiva das adolescentes; A violência nas relações afetivas de adolescentes em situação de acolhimento; repercussões da violência nas relações de namoro das adolescentes. Ao analisarmos as características das relações de namoro na perspectiva das adolescentes, as jovens apontaram suas percepções sobre as características referentes ao comportamento masculino e do parceiro. Algumas percepções são associadas ao comportamento do parceiro com carinho, cumplicidade, apoio e amor. E outras aos comportamentos de mentira, excesso de ciúme e agressividade, a não escolha do parceiro certo, entre outras. Em relação à percepção sobre suas relações afetivas, as adolescentes apontaram ser necessário conhecer primeiro o parceiro, ter uma relação sem briga e sem discussão; expressaram atitudes de submissão, omissão, desilusão amorosa, desvalorização do parceiro, desgaste por desvalorização e não gostar de conversar com o parceiro sobre o relacionamento. Os tipos de violência mais comumente vivenciados e indicados pelas adolescentes em suas relações de namoro foram: violência física e sexual; violência patrimonial; e violência psicológica, verbal e moral. As adolescentes apontaram que tais violências nas relações de namoro trazem repercussões à sua saúde, tais como: repercussão à saúde mental, sentimentos como a autopercepção desvalorizada, um ceticismo, impotência, insegurança e medo. Contudo, cabe destacar que algumas adolescentes em situação de acolhimento, em função das adversidades e história de vida, também apontaram certo grau de resiliência diante das violências vivenciadas. Considerando essa primeira aproximação da realidade das relações de namoro das adolescentes em situação de acolhimento verifica-se a necessidade de ações de cuidado no atendimento à essa clientela. As unidades de acolhimento são cenários facilitadores para ações educativas e de cuidado junto à população de adolescentes, o que facilita a construção de medidas de promoção à saúde sexual e reprodutiva de adolescentes. A enfermagem ao reconhecer que o cuidar constitui um processo dialético entre o indivíduo e o cuidador, mas que também é influenciado histórico e socialmente, tem papel fundamental na proposição de ações de enfretamento à violência nas relações de namoro das adolescentes em serviços de acolhimento.

A sexualidade compreende muitas dimensões da vida dos indivíduos. Ao longo da vida vai sendo revista, à medida que modificações biopsicossociais acontecem e, ao se pensar em relacionamentos conjugais de longa duração é preciso ponderar que estes casais já passaram por transformações na sua relação conjugal e familiar. Para as pessoas idosas o predomínio de doenças crônicas é maior, com risco para incapacidade e/ou dependência, dentre elas a demência. Cônjuges-cuidadores, vivenciando a transicionalidade da sexualidade podem ressignificar a vida, com o apoio do cuidado terapêutico de enfermagem. O estudo teve o objetivo de compreender a vivência da transicionalidade do cônjuge-cuidador da pessoa idosa em processo demencial, para elaboração de um modelo interpretativo de cuidado terapêutico de enfermagem na perspectiva da Teoria das Transições. A fundamentação teórica se baseia nos pressupostos da Teoria das Transições. Estudo de abordagem qualitativa, com base no referencial metodológico da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados com 25 participantes distribuídos em quatro grupos amostrais (12 cônjuges-cuidadores, 5 filhos e 8 profissionais de saúde). O cenário investigado foi o Núcleo de Atenção ao Idoso, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil. A coleta dos dados ocorreu entre maio de 2014 e maio de 2015. A técnica utilizada foi à entrevista intensiva e a análise feita mediante codificação inicial, seletiva e focalizada. O projeto de pesquisa foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética da UERJ (Processo n 631.538). Os dados demonstraram que a construção da vida conjugal e a história prévia de sexualidade apreendida e vivenciada interferem na maneira de identificar as mudanças provocadas pelo processo demencial e de se adaptar às repercussões para a sexualidade pessoal e conjugal. O fenômeno evidenciado foi a ressignificação da vida do cônjuge-cuidador da pessoa idosa em processo demencial por meio da transicionalidade da sexualidade conjugal, apontando um cuidado terapêutico de enfermagem, sustentado por sete categorias e dezesseis subcategorias, que articuladas, mostram a ressignificação diretamente ligada à história de vida matrimonial, ao engajamento da família como suporte, além do serviço especializado e a disposição em redimensionar a vida sexual consigo e com o outro. Os resultados apontaram o cuidado como mais uma atribuição, com alterações para saúde e em outras dimensões. Por parte dos profissionais, ainda há um despreparo e abordagem muito superficial da sexualidade entre casais que envelhecem, sobremaneira no contexto da demência; para os cônjuges-cuidadores, as crenças e o imaginário social interferem não só no desenvolvimento da sexualidade possível no contexto de vida atual, como na relação de cuidado e na definição do seu papel social; os filhos descrevem o funcionamento familiar na busca da adaptação ao novo contexto de vida dos pais. A ressignificação existe, a partir de estratégias de enfrentamento e da transposição da sexualidade pelo cuidado à pessoa idosa que adoece. Assim, sustenta-se a tese: A compreensão da vivência da transicionalidade da sexualidade do cônjuge-cuidador da pessoa idosa em processo demencial permite a elaboração de um modelo interpretativo que aponta para um cuidado terapêutico de enfermagem próprio para esse momento de vida.

The fisheries resources of Lakes Albert and Kyoga present a high potential for economic growth, food, employment and foreign earnings. However, livelihoods appear to be compromised with the emergence and rapid spread of HIV/AIDS in the fisher communities of L. Albert and Kyoga. HIV/AIDS is considered a silent epidemic that is unique, posing a great challenge to the fisheries managers, health service providers, development planners and the resource users themselves. Fishers have high HIV prevalence, as well as AIDS-related illnesses and mortality rates. The high HIV prevalence rates among the fishing communities in Uganda is between 10-40% compared to the national rates which lie between 6% and 7%. This indicates that the national programmes have not adequately addressed the plight of the fishing communities of Lakes Albert, and Kyoga and the consequences have been devastating. Men and women living in fishing villages across the world have been found to be between five and ten times more vulnerable to the disease than other communities (Tarzan et al 2005, FAO, 2007). The present prevalence rates among the fishing communities stands at 10 to 40 % (LVFO, 2008). Meanwhile the same fishing communities are the essential labour for the Lakes’ fishery industry which is thriving nationally and internationally. That resource potentially can alleviate poverty and the HIV/AIDS threat. Fishing communities are the hidden victims of the disease, mixing patterns with the general population could act as a reservoir of infection that could spill over into the general population to drive the epidemic. On L. Albert, a quarter of the fisher folk were HIV-positive by 1992 compared to 4% in a nearby Agricultural village. Since then, there have been no targeted studies to address or monitor the prevalence rates eight years later, yet the multiplicity factor is high. HIV/AIDS can be linked to unsustainable fisheries, as the labour force available would not go to deep waters to fish, instead would fish in the shallow waters as a coping mechanism. A further effect is the loss to National and local economies and reduced nutritional security for the wider population. HIV/AIDS remains a significant challenge that has created a mosaic of complexity in the fishery sector. This needs to be addressed. It is, therefore, paramount that a comprehensive study was under taken to address this pandemic and the phenomenon of HIV/AIDS based on the study objectives. 1. To determine the trend in HIV/AIDS infection among fishing communities and the factors affecting it 2. To assess the impacts of HIV/AIDS on fish production and the implications for fisheries management.

Expansion of economic activities, urbanisation, increased resource use and population growth are continuously increasing the vulnerability of the coastal zone. This vulnerability is now further raised by the threat of climate change and accelerated sea level rise. The potentially severe impacts force policy-makers to also consider long-term planning for climate change and sea level rise. For reasons of efficiency and effectiveness this long-term planning should be integrated with existing short-term plans, thus creating an Integrated Coastal Zone Management programme. As a starting point for coastal zone management, the assessment of a country's or region's vulnerability to accelerated sea level rise is of utmost importance. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has developed a common methodology for this purpose. Studies carried out according to this Common Methodology have been compared and combined, from which general conclusions on local, regional and global vulnerability have been drawn, the latter in the form of a Global Vulnerability Assessment. In order to address the challenge of coping with climate change and accelerated sea level rise, it is essential to foresee the possible impacts, and to take precautionary action. Because of the long lead times needed for creating the required technical and institutional infrastructures, such action should be taken in the short term. Furthermore, it should be part of a broader coastal zone management and planning context. This will require a holistic view, shared by the different institutional levels that exist, along which different needs and interests should be balanced.

Hsp70 proteins are a family of molecular chaperones that are involved in many aspects of protein homeostasis. In this study, an Hsp70 homologue (SoHsp70) was identified from red drum Sciaenops ocellatus and analyzed at molecular level. The open reading frame of SoHsp70 is 1920 bp and intronless, with a 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of 399 bp and a 3'-UTR of 241 bp. The deduced amino acid sequence of SoHsp70 shares 84-92% overall identities with the Hsp70s of a number of fish species. In silico analysis identified in SoHsp70 three conserved Hsp70 domains involved in nucleotide and substrate binding. The coding sequence of SoHsp70 was subcloned into Escherichia coli, from which recombinant SoHsp70 was purified and, upon ATPase assay, found to exhibit apparent ATPase activity. Expressional analysis showed that constitutive expression of SoHsp70 was detectable in heart, liver, spleen, kidney, brain, blood, and gill. Experimental challenges with poly(I:C) and bacterial pathogens of Gram-positive and Gram-negative nature induced SoHsp70 expression in kidney to different levels. Stress-responsive analysis of SoHsp70 expression in primary cultures of red drum hepatocytes showed that acute heat shock treatment elicited a rapid induction of SoHsp70 expression which appeared after 10 min and 30 min of treatment. Exposure of hepatocytes separately to iron, copper, mercury, and hydrogen peroxide significantly unregulated SoHsp70 expression in time-dependent manners. Vaccination of red drum with a Streptococcus iniae bacterin was also found to induce SoHsp70 expression. Furthermore, recombinant SoHsp70 enhanced the immunoprotective effect of a subunit vaccine. Taken together, these results suggest that SoHsp70 is a stress-inducible protein that is likely to play a role in immunity and in coping with environmental and biological stresses.

The aim of this research is to explore the relationships between Self-evaluation, general trust, coping styles and psychological health of secondary school students. Three studies were carried out. A total of 1024 middle school students ranging in age from 11 to 20 years complete SCL-90, secondary school students self-evaluation scale, questionnaire of coping styles and GTS. It is found that: 1. There were three self-evaluation in middle school students: the self-evaluation in study, in human relations and in appearance. 2. The three factors of self-evaluation are all correlated to gender, grade and single children. 3. General trust of secondary school students is no difference in gender, grade and single children. 4. Aside from the negative exterior copied ones, three self-evaluation and general trust significantly predict the other three coping styles. 5. When we control the gender , grade and and the only-child in multiple linear regression, we found that the coping style has more effect on their psychological health than the gender , grade and and the only-child and influencing of negative coping style is highest. 6. Three self-evaluations and general trust have direct influences on psychological health of secondary school students. Taking coping styles as intermediate variables , three self-evaluations and general trust have direct influences on psychological health of secondary school students.

The aim of this research is to explore the tendency of needs and its influential factors in counselors at present time.Three studies were carried out: study 1 was to find out the tendency of needs and the structure of needs in counselors. Study 2 was to compare the needs between counselors and non-counselors, in which 64 subjects were students majored in psychology but they don’t want to counsel.Study 3 was to initially explore the relationships between the tendency of needs and its influential factors. Studies of the 1 and 3 selected 123 counselors. It was found that: 1. The results of EPPS in counselors: according to comparison between original marks, the number of subjects who range first from high to low was: introspection,change,dominance,nurse,order,succor,affinity=autonomy,achievement,endurance,heterosexuality,deference,aggression=exhibition=abasement ; according to means of original marks, the tendency of needs from high to low was: introspection,achievement,nurse,autonomy,change,succor,endurance,dominance,order,affinity,aggression,exhibition,deference,abasement,heterosexuality. The lower one of the counselors were needs of aggression, exhibition,deference,abasement and heterosexuality,the high one are introspection,nurse and change.The most difference was achievement need. 2. Dilemmas had no significantly different effect on the needs of counselors, but sexuality and age affect them in some factors. There were significant differences in the factors of deference, exhibition and nurse among different ages. Counselors married had higher tendency of obedience, autonomy, introspection, nurse and endurance than those unmarried. 3. The results of EPPS in non-counselors: according to comparison between original marks, the number of subjects who range first from high to low was: endurance,order,change=dominance,autonomy= introspection=nurse,affinity,succor,aggression,achievement,heterosexuality,exhibition=abasement,deference; according to original marks’means, the tendency of needs from high to low was: nurse,endurance,achievement,order,introspection,change,autonomy,dominance,affinity,succor,aggression,exhibition,abasement,deference,heterosexuality. The lower one of the counselors were needs of aggression, exhibition,deference,abasement and heterosexuality,the high one were introspection,nurse and change.The most difference was achievement need. 4. There were significant differences in the needs of abasement and introspection between counselors and non-counselors. Male counselors and non-counselors had significant differences in the factor of abasement. Female counselors had higher tendency of succor needs. 5. The differences of childhood traumas and positive life events were not significant. The positive and negative life events themselves had no significant differences, but negative life events had marginal significant difference between the two groups. 6. The marks of counselors were lower than non-counselors in the factors of neuroticism. 7. Counselors and trainees had no significant differences among other needs、childhood traumas、life events、personality and coping styles except in the deference need. 8. The result of multiple estimation of EPQ , CTQ and EPPS were related.Many specific life events were related with the tendency of many needs. As shown in the research, children’s traumas, characteristic and life events may affect needs chiefly. 9. There were close relation between characteristic and childhood traumas in counselors. Especially the subjects with more childhood traumas had higher tendency of psychoticism, neuroticism and introvision. There were few persons with much high scores on the Childhood traumas in the subjects.Their personality characteristics indicate high extrovision and low psychoticism.Their childhood traumas may affect the shape of sound personality. Conclusion: 1. The most important tendency of needs were introspection,nurse and change. 2. The differences of childhood traumas and life events were not significant between counselors and non-counselors. The marks of counselors were higher than non-counselors in the factors of introspection, but lower in the factor of neuroticism. 3. The main influential factors in counselors of needs were childhood traumas、characteristic and life events.

The aim of this research is to explore the relationships between school avoidance tendency and school stressors, stress response, social support, coping style of secondary school students. Three studies were carried out. School avoidance tendency scale, mental health scale, coping style scale of secondary school students from Japan were revised in the first research. In the second research, the difference in gender, cities, grades of five variables were discussed. In the third research, the relationships of five variables were discussed. A total of 883 students from grade one of middle school to grade 3 of high school in Beijing, Taiyuan and Wulanchabu, completed three scales. Analysis showed that: 1. The main effects of city, gender, and grade were present significantly on School avoidance tendency, and the inter-effects were not significant. The differences were significant between three grades of middle schools, and not significant between three grades of high schools. The high school students were significant than middle school students on school avoidance tendency. 2. The main effect of city was not significant, but gender, and grade were present significantly on stressor, and the inter-effects were not significant. The most stressor was study one, than the relationship stressor from teachers. The relationship stressor from friends was at least. 3. The main effects of city and grade were present significantly on stress responses, but the main effect of gender was not significant, and the inter-effect was not significant. The most stress response was the physical response. 4. The main effects of city and gender, the inter-effect were not present significantly on social supports. The main effect of grade was present significantly. The most social support was from mother, than from friends, father, and the teachers. 5. The differences between cites on coping styles were not significant. Positive coping style was used mostly, than the style of help requirement, cognitive coping style. 6. Stressor and stress responses had significant positive predictive role on school avoidance tendency. Social supports had negative predictive role. Social supports had not moderator role between stressor, stress responses and schools avoidance tendency. Stress responses had a part of mediator between stressor and school avoidance tendency. 7. In the coping styles, positive coping style and help requirement style had negative predictive role, but cognitive coping style had positive predictive role on school avoidance tendency. Coping styles had negative predictive role. Coping styles had not moderator role between stressor, stress responses and school avoidance tendency.

To study the relationship between mental-physical health and coping behavior,job stress and job motivation in medical laboratory scientists and technicians. A cross-section survey was conducted,using the anxiety rating scale(SAS), depression rating scale(SDS), coping behavior rating scale,self-rating subhealth scale,self-rating stress scale,and self-rating job motivation scale among 289 medical laboratory scientists and technicians with analysis of ANOVA and Regression. The study was carried out in three steps:step1 is to analyze the general situation of the mental-physical health.Step 2 is to analyze the features of the main influencial facotors.Step 3 is to study the influence of the relative factors on mental-physical health.The following are the results: 1.The anxiety and depression scores of the medical researchers and technicians were 30±6 and 37±8 respectively,both significantly lower than those of the national norm(34±6 and 42±11 respectively,both P<0.01),which are of significant difference. The depression score of the associate chief technician was 42±7, significantly higher than those of the medical researchers and technicians with any other professional titles (all P<0.05), and the anxiety score of the associate chief technicians was 32±7, significantly higher than that of the research fellows(28±4, P<0.05),with no significant difference to the score of the medical researchers and technicians with other professional titles. The depression score,anxiety score and the subhealth score of the age group of 36~49 were 39±9,31±7 and 32±9 respectively, both higher than that of the age group of 20~35 (36±8,29±6 and 29±7 respectively,both P<0.05),while there is much diference among other age groups. And the subhealth status has nothing to do with marital status,education background and professional titles. 2.The coping behaviors,job stress and motivation of the military medical laboratory scientists and technicians. 1)Coping behaviors:The seeking help score of the associate chief technicians was 2.8±0.5,not significantly different from that of the associate research fellows(2.8±0.5),but significantly lower than those of the medical researchers and technicians with other professional titles(all P<0.01),and whose self-blame score was higher than that of the research fellows,which is of significant difference.The self-blame score and the imagination score of the associate research fellows were 2.0±0.5 and 2.4±0.5 respectively, significantly higher than that of the research fellows(1.6±0.4, 2.1±0.4,both P<0.01). The seeking help score of the females was 3.1±0.5, significantly higher than that of the males(2.9±0.5, both P<0.01),and the solving problem score was 3.4±0.6,significantly lower than the male(3.6±0.7, both P<0.01).There is no any significant difference in coping behaviors among researchers and technicians of different marital status,education background and age groups. 2)Job stress: The score of job stress of the age group of 35~49 and 50~60 were 23±8 and 25±6 respectively,significantly higher than that of the 20~35(21±7,both P<0.05). There is no any significant difference in job stress among researchers and technicians of different marital status,gender,professional titles and education background. 3)The score of meeting personal desire for reputation and interests of the males was 19.6±5.4,significantly higher than that of the females(18.4±5.0, both P<0.05), while there is no significant difference in job motivation among researchers and technicians of different titles,education,age and marital status. 3.The relationship of the mental-physical health of the military medical laboratory scientists and technicians with their coping behaviors,job stress and motivations 1) Coping behaviors:Regression analysis showed that, the best predictors of subhealth were anxiety,depression and escaping (β=-0.40,β=0.23, β=0.14, both P<0.01).the best predictors of anxiety and depression were active coping behaviors and negative coping behaviors (β=-0.40,β=0.40, both P<0.01).The moderate(rational) coping behaviors is the best predictor only of anxiety and of significant difference. 2)job stress : Regression analysis demonstrated that anxiety,depression,job stress 2 and job stress 4 are the best predictor for subhealth;job stress 12 is the best retro-predictor for depression; job stress 3 and 8 are the best predictor for depression;and job stress 2 and 9 are the best predictor for anxiety ,which are of significant difference. 3)Motivation:Regression analysis demonstrated that depression is the best predictor for subhealth while motivation itself doesn't predict subhealth;with respect to the specific contents of motivation,"probing unknown rules and making contributions to the human society "is the best retro-predictor for depression and has nothing to do with anxiety prediction. 4) The combined influences of coping behaviors,job stress and motivations: Regression analysis showed that, the best predictors for subhealth were anxiety,depression and job stress(β=0.41,β=0.24, β=0.19, both P<0.01).the best predictors for anxiety and depression were active coping behaviors and negative coping behaviors (β=-0.40,β=0.40, both P<0.01).The moderate(rational) coping behaviors is the best predictor only for anxiety and of significant difference. CONCLUSIONS: Regression analysis showed that the best predictors for anxiety and depression were active coping behaviors and negative coping behaviors, the best predictors for subhealth were anxiety,depression and job stress.Coping behaviors, job stress and motivations have significant influences on the mental-physical health of the military medical researchers and and technicians. Among them,coping behavior is the most important factor while job stress and motivation follow. Seeking help more often,less self-blame ,imagination and job stress could help release the anxiety, depression and improve the subhealth of the medical researchers and technicians. The findings of this study indicate we should address the physical and mental health of the military laboratory researchers and technicians.
Resumo:
In the period of college, an individual matures rapidly in all aspects. College engineering students are the important parts of undergraduates. The state of an individual’s mental health may affect and even decide his future life and work. The level of the student’s self-concept and the kind of coping styles the students adopt are directly related to their mental health. So, it is significant to study the psychological stress, coping and self-concept of college engineering students for the mental health education and research of college engineering students. Based on overviews of former research, with the China College Student Psychological Stress Scale, the Coping Styles Scale and the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, 559 college engineering students were investigated to explore the characteristics of and the relationship between the psychological stress, coping styles and self-concept of college engineering students. The results showed: 1. The stresses of learning, living and daily hassles were the main psychological stresses of college engineering students. There were significant differences in psychological stress between students from the countryside and those from urban areas, between needy students and non-needy students, between single-parent students and non-single-parent students, among students from different grades, with different academic achievements and of different postgraduate targets, between student party members and non-party members, between student cadres and non-cadres. However, there were no significant differences between male and female, between those from single-child families and from multiple-child families. 2. The coping styles of solving problem, seeking help and rationalization were the main coping styles of college engineering students. There were significant differences in the coping styles between needy students and non-needy students, among students from different grades, with different academic achievements and of different postgraduate targets, between student party members and non-party members, between student cadres and non-cadres. However, there were no significant differences between students from the countryside and from urban areas, between male and female, between single-parent students and non-single-parent students, between those from single-child families and from multiple-child families. 3. The self-concept of college engineering students was positive in general. There were significant differences in self-concept between students from the countryside and those from urban areas, between male and female, between needy students and non-needy students, between single-parent students and non-single-parent students, among students from different grades, with different academic achievements and of different postgraduate targets, between student party members and non-party members, between student cadres and non-cadres. However, there were no significant differences between those from single-child families and from multiple-child families. 4. The psychological stress had significantly negative correlation to the immature coping styles, and had partial correlation to the mature coping styles. Coping style has significant predictability on psychological stress. 5. The positive factors of the self-concept had significantly negative correlation to psychological stress, but self-criticism had positive correlation to psychological stress. There are significant differences between high self-concept students and low self-concept students for psychological stress. Self-concept has significant predictability on psychological stress. 6. The positive factors of the self-concept had significantly negative correlation to the coping styles of self-blame, illusion, avoidance, and rationalization, but had significantly positive correlation to the coping style of solving problem and seeking help. Self-criticism had significantly negative correlation to the coping styles of self-blame, illusion, avoidance, and rationalization. There are significant differences between high self-concept students and low self-concept students for coping styles. Self-concept has significant predictability on coping styles. 7. The self-concept of college engineering students had an effect on psychological stress by coping styles. However, the effect by the immature coping styles was higher than that to the mental health directly, and the effect by the mature and mixed coping styles was slighter than that to the mental health directly. According to the results, improving the college engineering students’ self-concept level and establishing right self-concept, developing the middle school student’ active coping styles and overcoming the negative coping styles are essential and important to the college engineering students’ mental health and provide useful clues for the psychological education of the college engineering students.
