Abstract
The relationships between situation specific stressors and the coping behaviour of intensive care nursing staff were analysed. The results were discussed with regard to additional data relating to ‘contentment with coping’ and ‘psychosomatic reactivity (FPI)’. It was observed that the majority of stress situations in intensive care are tackled by staff members using active external coping strategies', whereas coping with personal stress involves passive strategies. Relationships between ‘contentment with coping’, ‘psychosomatic reactivity (FPI)’ and type of stressor and coping behaviour were found.Keywords
