This study examined the contribution of ways of coping and sense of belonging to stress responses among students in a conflict zone. Students at a college situated in an area exposed to continuous threat were divided according to their place of residence: locations inside and outside of the conflict zone. Rate of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was similar to rates in previous studies conducted among Israelis who had been exposed to terror. Acceptance as a way of coping and sense of belonging contributed to reducing PTSD symptoms, whereas use of alcohol and seeking support contributed to increasing stress responses. The discussion examines the results in light of the literature on ways of coping and sense of belonging in the face of continuous threat.
本研究考察了应对方式和归属感对冲突地区学生应激反应的贡献。根据居住地，将一所位于持续受到威胁地区的大学校园内的学生分为冲突区内外两个群体。创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的发生率与先前在经历过恐怖袭击的以色列人中进行的研究相似。接受作为一种应对方式和归属感有助于减轻 PTSD 症状，而使用酒精和寻求支持则会导致应激反应增加。讨论根据有关在持续威胁面前的应对方式和归属感的文献来解释这些结果。
