Flexibility in coping with stress and cognitive flexibility are new constructs both in Polish and European psychological sciences. A person displaying flexibility in coping has a wide repertoire of remedial strategies, which he or she is able to change if the situation so requires, and which reflect on the strategies used, while a person displaying cognitive flexibility is ready to look for new ways to cope. The profession of a firefighter involves exposure to various stressors, and occupational stress can affect not only mental health, but also the quality of work performed. That is why flexibility in coping with stress and cognitive flexibility seem so important. The aim of the study was to perform empirical verification of the relationship between flexibility in coping and cognitive flexibility, as well as to determine their relationship with the stress perceived by the respondents.
Overall, 104 firefighters (males only) were qualified for the examination. The average age of the respondents was 34 years (SD = 7.81). The (FCSQ-14), the (CFI) and the (PSS-10) were used.
There is a statistically significant relationship between flexibility in coping with stress and its dimensions, and cognitive flexibility and its dimensions, in the examined group of firefighters. The strongest positive relationship was observed between cognitive flexibility and repertoire (r = 0.639, p < 0.001), and the weakest between cognitive control and reflectivity (r = 0.257, p = 0.009). A statistically significant negative relationship was found between flexibility in coping with stress (r = -0.339, p = 0.001) and cognitive flexibility (r = -0.359, p < 0.001), and stress experienced by the respondents. There was no statistically significant relationship between reflectivity, which is a dimension of flexibility in coping with stress, and perceived stress.
There is a need to consider the possibility of including in the prevention programs addressed to firefighters the need to support subjective resources, which include flexibility in coping with stress and cognitive flexibility. The results also indicate the need to deepen research in order to better understand the constructs of flexibility in coping with stress and cognitive flexibility. Med Pr. 2020;71(4):441-50.
在波兰和欧洲心理学领域，应对压力的灵活性和认知灵活性都是新的概念。具有应对灵活性的人拥有丰富的补救策略，能够根据情况变化调整策略，并对所采用的策略进行反思；而具有认知灵活性的人则愿意寻找新的应对方式。消防员职业面临各种压力源，职业压力不仅会影响心理健康，还会影响工作质量。因此，应对压力的灵活性和认知灵活性显得尤为重要。本研究旨在实证验证应对灵活性与认知灵活性之间的关系，并确定它们与受访者所感知压力之间的关系。
共有104名消防员（均为男性）参与了此次测试。受访者的平均年龄为34岁（标准差=7.81）。使用了应对灵活性量表（FCSQ - 14）、认知灵活性量表（CFI）和感知压力量表（PSS - 10）。
在所测试的消防员群体中，应对压力的灵活性及其维度与认知灵活性及其维度之间存在统计学显著关系。认知灵活性与策略库之间的正相关关系最强（r = 0.639，p < 0.001），认知控制与反思性之间的正相关关系最弱（r = 0.257，p = 0.009）。应对压力的灵活性（r = -0.339，p = 0.001）和认知灵活性（r = -0.359，p < 0.001）与受访者所经历的压力之间存在统计学显著负相关关系。作为应对压力灵活性维度之一的反思性与感知压力之间不存在统计学显著关系。
有必要考虑在针对消防员的预防计划中纳入支持主观资源的必要性，其中包括应对压力的灵活性和认知灵活性。研究结果还表明，有必要进一步深入研究，以更好地理解应对压力的灵活性和认知灵活性这两个概念。《医学实践》2020年；71(4):441 - 50。
