مستخلص: Purpose: To explore the mechanisms U.S. radiologic science students use to cope with stress.
Methods: The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) was used to determine U.S. radiologic science students' coping mechanisms. The authors coupled the General Health Questionnaire with the CISS to determine whether a higher propensity for emotional distress revealed differences in coping mechanisms. Along with descriptive statistics, t tests were employed to determine whether differences existed in task, emotion, and avoidance coping mechanisms between women and men and within sex groups.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the sexes for adaptive task-oriented coping and maladaptive emotion-based coping; however, more men (82.8%) than women (71.2%) used avoidance coping. Women with higher levels of emotional distress more frequently used maladaptive emotion-based and avoidance coping mechanisms than did those with lower levels of emotional distress. Men with higher levels of emotional distress more frequently used maladaptive emotion-based coping than did those with lower levels of emotional distress.
Discussion: Helping students distinguish between healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms might allow them to become more efficient and healthy members of their professional communities. Establishing that those who are at a high risk for emotional distress often display maladaptive coping mechanisms might provide a catalyst for intervention.
Conclusion: Finding and promoting resources that teach and encourage students to use task-oriented coping skills could be useful in their educational and professional development.
