Mafia e costi psichici. Le ricadute nei familiari delle vittime di omicidio

La letteratura mostra che la morte di un familiare a causa di un omicidio rappresenta una perdita traumatica in grado di provocare un elevato distress (caratterizzato dal “sinergismo” di trauma e lutto) associato all’aumento del rischio di gravi conseguenze sia sulla salute psichica che sulla qualità della vita in generale (Green, 2000; Rynearson & McCreery, 1993). Recenti reviews (van Denderen et al., 2013; Connolly & Gordon, 2014) hanno messo in evidenza un’elevata incidenza di problematiche psicologiche a medio e a lungo termine nei familiari definiti dalla letteratura “ survivors” (Hertz et al., 2005). Tuttavia, ancora pochi sono gli studi sistematici sulle esperienze di lutto traumatic…

This scoping review aims to understand how PN models have been utilized with people experiencing homelessness and other comparable populations to date and more specifically identify (a) the defining features, (b) the barriers and facilitators in implementation, and (c) the outcomes associated with PN models. Database searches were conducted in Web of Science, PubMed and SCOPUS on 15th June 2021 and 21 …

Dylematy uzależnienia – impulsywność i radzenie sobie ze stresem u mężczyzn uczestniczących w terapii uzależnień

2016

Dotychczasowe badania nad osobami uzależnionymi koncentrowały się głównie na aspekcie reaktywnego radzenia sobie, natomiast proaktywne podejście było zignorowane. Aspekt impulsywności również okazuje się mało zbadany ze względu na różnorodność zastosowanych perspektyw badawczych. W związku z powyższym celem niniejszego artykułu było zbadanie różnic w zakresie impulsywności oraz reaktywnego i proaktywnego radzenia sobie wśród mężczyzn uzależnionych oraz bez uzależnienia. Artykuł składa się z trzech części. Pierwsza skupia się na przeglądzie teorii i badań z dziedziny uzależnień, impulsywności i radzenia sobie ze stresem. W drugiej części przedstawiono metodologię badań, a w trzeciej – wyniki…

Well-being of physicians who work in oncology unit and in BMT unit: analysis of protective factors from work stress

2012

Background. Recently a great deal of attention has been given on doctors' work related stress and possibility of improving their quality of life. Several studies report that oncologists are overloaded psychologically. Contact with serious diseases, excessive working pressure, structural weaknesses, are some of the factors that predispose oncologists to stress. In 2008, at the ASPHO annual meeting, pediatric hematologists/oncologists noted burnout (considered as a result of protracted stress at work) was a significant challenge in their lives. To date, no studies have extensively ruled out on protective factors from work stress among pediatric oncologists. Aims. Our research investigates the…

Factors Contributing to Different Agency in Work and Study

2013

Most young adults today are following longer educational tracks and postpone entrance into the workforce. This 2-year study aimed to determine factors contributing to occupational self-efficacy in a representative sample of n = 1,891 young adults ( M = 23.92, SD = 2.17 years) with different work statuses (studying, in an apprenticeship, employed, or unemployed). Occupational identity, perceived work quality, the ability to cope with work stress, and symptomatology were assessed. Path analyses revealed that work status was the most important predictor of later occupational self-efficacy, with employment showing the strongest prediction of later agency in the professional domain. Ruminative e…

Work related stress and well-being: the roles of direct action coping and palliative coping

2006

The purpose of the present study is to analyze the roles of direct action coping and palliative coping in the relationship between work stressors and psychological well-being, as well as their possible interactions, in a sample of 464 bank employees. Hierarchical regression analyses showed main effects of direct action coping on well-being. Palliative coping predicts higher levels of psychological distress. Contrary to what was expected, the interactions between work stressors and direct action coping were not significant. Palliative coping interacted with work stressors when predicting psychosomatic complaints. The interaction between the two types of coping was significant on psychosomati…
