The current study sought to add to the stress and coping literature by examining whether coping responses are elicited from a diagnosis of chlamydia or gonorrhea and, if so, whether active or passive coping responses are associated with particular psychological factors and prevention behaviors. Data from 259 urban, minority participants recently diagnosed with chlamydia or gonorrhea were analyzed. Results indicated that denial was associated with having more baseline depressive symptoms and with having more one-time partners at follow-up. Problem-focused coping was associated with more consistent condom use at follow-up. Important sex and ethnicity differences were found. Intervention implications are discussed.
本研究旨在通过考察应对反应是否由衣原体或淋病诊断引发，以及如果是这样，积极或消极应对反应是否与特定心理因素和预防行为相关，来丰富压力与应对方面的文献。对259名近期被诊断患有衣原体或淋病的城市少数族裔参与者的数据进行了分析。结果表明，否认与更多的基线抑郁症状以及随访时更多的一次性伴侣有关。以问题为中心的应对方式与随访时更持续地使用避孕套有关。研究发现了重要的性别和种族差异。并讨论了干预的意义。
