Strategie radzenia sobie ze stresem a subiektywna ocena stanu zdrowia osób w wieku emerytalnym

Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between coping strategies and subjective health in retirement age. The research sample consisted of 240 older people, aged 55–70 (retirees and those, who continue working, both sex). Following techniques were used: The COPE Inventory (C. S. Carver, M. F. Scheier, J. K. Weintraub) and The Somatic Symptoms List (L. Cofta). The results show significant relationships between emotional and escape ways of coping and negative rating of health status. Moreover significant differences in subjective health and coping strategies were found between men and women. Retirees don’t differ from employees in subjective health and ways of coping.
