7. Coping Strategies
Psychological coping mechanisms are
commonly termed coping strategies or
coping skills.Unconscious or non conscious
strategies (e.g. defense mechanisms) are
generally excluded.The term coping
generally refers to adaptive or constructive
coping strategies, i.e. the strategies reduce
stress levels. However, some coping
strategies can be considered maladaptive,
i.e. stress levels increase. Maladaptive coping
can thus be described, in effect, as non-
coping. Furthermore, the term coping
generally refers to reactive coping, i.e. the
coping response follows the stressor.This
contrasts with proactive coping, in which a
coping response aims to head off a future
stressor
8. Denial: coping strategy
in ordinary English usage, is
asserting that a statement or
allegation is not true.The same
word, and also abnegation, is
used for a psychological
defence mechanism
postulated by Sigmund Freud,
in which a person is faced with
a fact that is too
uncomfortable to accept and
rejects it instead, insisting that
it is not true despite what may
be overwhelming evidence
9. Chronic diseases
is a human health
condition or disease that
is persistent or otherwise
long-lasting in its effects.
The term chronic is usually
applied when the course
of the disease lasts for
more than three months.
Common chronic diseases
include arthritis, asthma,
cancer,
