(F1)Īll I can see ahead of me is unpleasantness rather than pleasantness. I just can't get the breaks and there's no reason I will in the future. I never get what I want so it's foolish to want anything.

It's very unlikely that I will get any real satisfaction in the future. There's no use in really trying to get anything I want because I probably won't get it. I don't expect to get what I really want. Standardized regression weights Factor 1 includes Items 2, 9, 12, 14, 16, 17, and 20 Factor 2 includes Items 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, and 19. This indicates that the tendency to use the emotions-oriented coping grows with an increasing feeling of hopelessness.Reasons for study dropout were refusal to participate, that is, questionnaires were not sent back (n = 86), death of the patient (n = 57), and invalid mail addresses (n = 14). Conclusions: A positive correlation between hopelessness and the emotions-oriented coping is very characteristic for both groups of women. Hopelessness reached similar levels in both groups, and was estimated as mild, and significantly correlated with coping styles with stress in both groups under study. This style was significantly less frequent in the repertory of remedial behaviors in women after preterm delivery.

Results: The two groups of women differed in their styles of the task-oriented coping. the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations questionnaire (by Endler and Parker), and a personal questionnaire were used in the study. The Beck Hopelessness Scale questionnaire (by Beck) to investigate hopelessness. Materials and Methods: 33 patients after preterm delivery and 54 after term delivery participated in the study. Abstract Objectives: The goal of this work was to compare ways of coping with stress used by women after Praterm delivery and term delivery, as well as to determine possible connection between hopelessness and ways of doping with stress in these two groups.
