Pharmacological Neuroenhancement, Perceived Stress, and Resilience in Spine Surgeons–A Cross-Sectional Survey
2022
Background Spine surgeons are usually exposed to high workload and demanding work conditions. Although the relationship between pharmacological neuroenhancement (PNE) and resilience (i.e., the ability to recover from stress), as well as perceived stress and resilience-enhancing factors, has been investigated in the general population, less is known about the impact of those factors in spine surgeons. This study aimed to close that gap by investigating the relationship between PNE use and resilience, perceived stress, or resilience-enhancing factors in spine surgeons. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey in a sample of 582 spine surgeons in German-speaking countries (Austria, German…
Loneliness Mediates the Relationship Between Early Life Stress and Perceived Stress but not Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis Functioning
2021
Many authors have proposed that early life stress (ELS) provokes a dysregulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and contributes negatively to the management of stress in adulthood. However, these associations have not always been observed, making it necessary to include new factors that could explain the different results found. In this regard, people with ELS experiences report less social support during adulthood, suggesting that loneliness could be a mediating factor. Thus, our aims were to investigate whether ELS was related to both perceived stress and diurnal HPA axis activity, and whether loneliness mediates these relationships, in a community sample (N=187, 18–55ye…

Chemsex and Sexual Well-Being in Young Polish Men
2023
Chemsex refers to the use of psychoactive drugs for sexual purposes—before or during sex. This phenomenon mainly affects men, in particular those belonging to the LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning, asexual, and more diverse individuals) community. From the perspective of the transactional theory of stress, chemsex can be considered a strategy for coping with stress, which is why it is also extremely important to verify its role in functioning outside the sexual sphere. For this reason, this study verified the relationship between the use of chemsex, perceived stress, sexual well-being, and life satisfaction in young Polish men. The study involved 175…
Darbinieku apzinātības prakses saistība ar darba un uztvertā stresa līmeni
2021
Šī pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot pašnovērtētā uztvertā stresa un darba stresa saistību ar apzinātības prakšu izmantošanu darbinieku vidū. Pētījumā kopā piedalījās 137 dalībnieki (111 sievietes, un 26 vīrieši) vecumā no 21 līdz 72 gadiem (M=37,91; SD=13,64). Lai novērtētu darba stresu, tika izmantota Darba stresoru skala (JSS -Job stressor scales, Spector & Jex, 1997), kas tika adaptēta latviešu valodā Evijas Gailes bakalaura darba “Apmierinātība ar darbu saistībā ar stresu darba vietā” ietvaros, 2013. gadā. Kā arī tika izmantota Uztvertā stresa skala (Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)) (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983), kas tika adaptēta latviešu valodā (Stokenberga, 2008), un lai mērītu apz…

Fizisko aktivitāšu saistība ar uztverto stresu
2021
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot fizisko aktivitāšu saistību ar uztverto stresu. Pētījumā piedalījās 265 respondenti, no tiem 57 (21,5%) vīrieši un 208 (78,5%) sievietes, vecumā no 16 līdz 74 gadiem (M = 29,66, SD = 12,43). Uztvertā stresa mērīšanai tika izmantota Uztvertā stresa skala (Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Cohen, Kamarck & Memelstein, 1983, aptauju latviešu valodā adaptējusi Ieva Stokenberga, 2008) un fiziskās aktivitāšu mērīšanai tika izmantota Fiziskās aktivitātes līmeņa aptauja un pašnovērtējums (Judzika, 2018). Pētījuma rezultāti neparādīja statistiski nozīmīgas saistības starp fiziskām aktivitātēm un uztverto stresu.

Personality Type D, Level of Perceived Stress, Insomnia, and Depression Among High School Teachers in Poland
2021
Teaching is inherently connected with specific burdens that may imply stressful situations. Psychological predispositions of the surveyed group, including personality type D (distressed personality) and level of experienced stress can cause depressive episodes and sleep disorders, which have a direct impact not only on health in terms of disease, but also on well-being and the ability to effectively and properly teach. The research group consisted of 412 high school teachers from the Silesian Province, located in the south of Poland. Using the following research tools: Type D Scale (DS14), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), it w…
