Existing literature demonstrates a relationship between selected personality traits and coping, a relationship explored here in a sample of 61 male Israeli patients with burns. Successful coping was assessed by the 5-item Satisfaction With Life Scale and 2 single-item measures of adjustment to the specific injury. Results suggest that adjustment to the traumatic experience of a burn injury is strongly related to specific personality traits rather than to the physical features of the injury. As predicted, successful coping was found to be positively related to the personality dimensions of extroversion, optimism, self-mastery, and hope, and negatively related to neuroticism and social anxiety. The importance of a patient's ability to elicit social support as a means of coping was also considered. Psychologic intervention is suggested as a consequence of the results obtained.
现有文献表明，特定人格特质与应对方式之间存在关联，本研究在61名以色列男性烧伤患者样本中对这种关联进行了探究。通过5项生活满意度量表和2项针对特定损伤适应情况的单项测量来评估成功应对情况。结果表明，烧伤创伤经历的适应情况与特定人格特质密切相关，而非损伤的身体特征。正如预期的那样，成功应对与外向性、乐观、自我掌控和希望等人格维度呈正相关，与神经质和社交焦虑呈负相关。还考虑了患者获取社会支持作为应对手段的能力的重要性。基于所获结果，建议进行心理干预。
