Avoidant coping strategies Sample Clauses

Avoidant coping strategies. The cognitive model of PTSD (Xxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2000) also highlights an important role for coping mechanisms and posits that negative appraisals can prompt less adaptive coping styles that are based strongly on avoidance. According to this model, avoidance may be used as a defence against distress caused by intrusive phenomena associated with PTSD. Avoidance may create short-term reductions in distress, but it is ultimately counterproductive as it is thought to play a role in maintaining intrusions (Xxxxxx & Xxxxx, 1995). Consistent with this model, avoidant coping has been positively associated with PTSD symptoms among war veterans (e.g., Sutker, Xxxxx, Xxxx, & Xxxxx, 1995), motor vehicle accident survivors (e.g., Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 1995), and victims of sexual and nonsexual assault (Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx, & Xxxxxx, 1999; Xxxxxxxxxx, Foa, Xxxxx, & Xxxxxxxx, 1996). The SAC framework (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 1984) defines coping as the person’s constantly changing cognitive and behavioural efforts to manage (i.e., master, reduce, or tolerate) an encounter appraised as stressful (Provencher, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, & Xxxxxx, 2000). Within this framework, avoidant coping tends to be used when appraisals of threat related to stressors exceeds coping resources (Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxxxx, 2004). In psychosis, avoidant coping may be useful for problems that resolve naturally, but not with worsening or more enduring problems (Xxxxxxx et al., 2010). Active and proactive strategies are believed to be more effective at reducing impact on levels of carer burden, even in the early stages of illness, whereas avoidant coping has been found to be strongly associated with burden, distress and high expressed emotion (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 1999; Xxxxx et al., 2004; Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxxxx, 2011; Xxxxxx & Pakenham, 2011; Xxxxxxxx et al., 2000). Maladaptive coping has been associated with severity of PTSD symptoms in informal carers following life-threatening illness, including the use of self-distraction, denial, behavioural disengagement and self-blame (Noble & Xxxxxx, 2008). Xxxxxxxxx et al. (2009) found that carers of people with psychosis reporting higher levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms used coping strategies with more frequency when confronted with aggression, compared with carers with lower levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms. However, there were no differences between the two groups of carers on the type of coping strategies utilised; both groups tended to use more p...
