A sample of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome was recruited to assess coping strategies and illness duration. It was hypothesized that adaptive coping strategies would be higher among those with longer illness duration. Those in the longer illness duration group reported higher use of active coping, positive reframing, planning, and acceptance, and lower use of behavioral disengagement than those in the shorter illness duration group. No significant differences were found between the two illness duration groups for physical impairment or symptom severity, but the long duration group revealed a lower percentage of participants who were working than the short duration group. These findings suggest that individuals with longer or shorter duration of the illness have differences in coping styles but not differences in physical impairment or symptom severity.
招募了一组慢性疲劳综合征患者以评估应对策略和患病时长。研究假设是，患病时长较长的患者会更多地采用适应性应对策略。与患病时长较短的组相比，患病时长较长组的患者报告称更多地采用积极应对、积极重新评价、计划和接受的方式，而较少采用行为脱离。在身体损伤或症状严重程度方面，两个患病时长组之间未发现显著差异，但患病时长较长组中仍在工作的参与者比例低于患病时长较短组。这些发现表明，患病时长较长或较短的个体在应对方式上存在差异，但在身体损伤或症状严重程度上没有差异。
