title: Styles of coping with stress among patients with allergic diseases.
abstract: Each man has his own characteristic and individual mode of coping in stress circumstances. The mode constitutes a permanent, personal inclination to a certain form of struggling with difficult situations. A mode of coping is at the same time a set of strategies applied in real confrontation with stress. The objective of the study is an attempt at analyzing the sources and the level of intensity of stress among patients with allergic diseases. The large majority, as many as 88.5% of the respondents claimed that their ability to cope with experienced stress was low or very low. Only 10.6% of the total number of the patients answered that they could cope with stress in this situation.
