Abstract

BACKGROUND

The scarcity of data about coping styles with a biochemical marker namely lipid profile, potentially associated with cardiovascular risk factors is most striking among professionals working in public university. Hence, this research aimed to investigate the relationship between coping styles and lipid profile comprising total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), HDL-cholesterol (high density lipoprotein-cholesterol) and LDL-cholesterol (Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol) among this group of professionals.

METHODS

A cross sectional survey was conducted among staff from a tertiary education centre. Subjects were contacted to ascertain their medical history. A total of 320 subjects were interviewed and 195 subjects were eligible and subsequently recruited on a suitable date for taking blood and administration of the questionnaires. The subjects completed questionnaires pertaining to demographic details and coping styles. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to measure the strength of association between lipid profile and coping styles.

RESULTS

Majority of the subjects were non-academic staff (60.0%), female (67.2%), Malay (91.8%), married (52.3%) and educated until Diploma level (34.9%). Academic staff scored significantly higher mean scores in task-oriented coping styles (Mean = 64.12). Non-academic staff scored significantly higher mean scores in emotion (Mean = 48.05) and avoidance-oriented coping styles (Mean = 57.61). Malay subjects had significantly higher mean scores in emotion (Mean = 47.14) and avoidance-oriented coping styles (Mean = 55.23). Non-malay subjects (Mean = 66.00) attained significantly higher mean scores in task-oriented coping styles. Single/divorced/widowed individuals scored significantly higher mean scores in emotion (Mean = 48.13) and avoidance-oriented coping styles (Mean = 56.86). There was a significant negative correlation between TC (r = -0.162) and LDL (r = -0.168) with avoidance-oriented coping styles (p = 0.023, p = 0.019 respectively).

CONCLUSION

Avoidance-oriented coping style was more likely to engender favourable lipid profile. Hence, assessment of coping styles would certainly assist health care practitioners in predicting subjects who would be at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

摘要

背景

在公立大学工作的专业人员中，关于应对方式与一种生化指标（即血脂谱）之间的数据稀缺，而血脂谱可能与心血管危险因素相关，这一点最为突出。因此，本研究旨在调查这组专业人员的应对方式与血脂谱之间的关系，血脂谱包括总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL - 胆固醇）和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL - 胆固醇）。

方法

在一个高等教育中心对工作人员进行了横断面调查。联系受试者以确定他们的病史。共采访了320名受试者，其中195名受试者符合条件，并在合适的日期被招募来进行血液采集和问卷调查。受试者完成了与人口统计学细节和应对方式相关的问卷。使用Pearson相关系数来衡量血脂谱与应对方式之间的关联强度。

结果

大多数受试者是非学术人员（60.0%）、女性（67.2%）、马来人（91.8%）、已婚（52.3%）且学历为文凭水平（34.9%）。学术人员在任务导向型应对方式上的平均得分显著更高（均值 = 64.12）。非学术人员在情绪（均值 = 48.05）和回避导向型应对方式上的平均得分显著更高（均值 = 57.61）。马来受试者在情绪（均值 = 47.14）和回避导向型应对方式上的平均得分显著更高（均值 = 55.23）。非马来受试者（均值 = 66.00）在任务导向型应对方式上的平均得分显著更高。单身/离婚/丧偶个体在情绪（均值 = 48.13）和回避导向型应对方式上的平均得分显著更高（均值 = 56.86）。TC（r = -0.162）和LDL（r = -0.168）与回避导向型应对方式之间存在显著负相关（分别为p = 0.023，p = 0.019）。
