Posttraumatic stress symptoms, avoidant coping and social support in carers of people with psychosis Sample Clauses

Posttraumatic stress symptoms, avoidant coping and social support in carers of people with psychosis. Strong relationships were found between avoidant coping and posttraumatic stress symptoms. This is consistent with a substantial body of research supporting an association between avoidant coping and distress in people with psychosis (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 1999; Xxxxx, et al., 2004; Xxxxxxxx et al., 2011; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2011; Xxxxxxxx et al., 2000). Furthermore, similar associations between avoidant coping and posttraumatic stress symptoms have also been found in informal carers following life threatening illness (Noble & Xxxxxx, 2008). The findings are also consistent with theoretical models of stress and coping (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 1984; Xxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2000) highlighting the role of maladaptive coping strategies in the onset and maintenance of posttraumatic stress symptoms. The prediction that social support would be negatively associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms was not supported in the current study. This is inconsistent with previous reports highlighting social support as a protective factor with regard to the development of PTSD (e.g., Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxxx, 2000) as well as assuming an important relationship to effective coping (Xxxxx et al., 2003) and better health and higher life satisfaction (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, 2011) in carers of people with psychosis. However, the finding needs be interpreted cautiously because of the nature of the measure used to assess social support in this study. A single question, the confidante question, was used as a measure of carer social support. All carers in this study endorsed this item, a result similar to previous research using this item which found the majority of carer endorsed the item (80%; Onwumere et al., 2009). The confidante question was chosen in this study as part of an overall attempt to use assessments that were valid but brief so that participant fatigue could be avoided. However, it is likely that the presence or absence of a confidante is insufficient to elucidate the relationship between posttraumatic stress symptoms and social support. A measure of the dimensional components of support such as frequency and quality and the different sources (e.g., Multi-Dimensional Support Scale; Winefield, Winefield, & Xxxxxxxxx, 1992), may have yielded different results.
