Abstract

The article conducts theoretical analysis of the problem of coping with stress by people who are in difficult life situation due to limited opportunities of health. The article presents the results of empirical studies of coping behavior in people with disabilities based on the type of attitude to the disease. The differences in coping-behavior of persons with disabilities with adaptive and non-adaptive types of attitude to the disease are the following: persons with disabilities with adaptive types of attitude to disease are more prone to constructive coping strategy «positive revaluation of difficulties», while persons with disabilities with the non-adaptive type of relationship to disease are more likely to use disruptive forms of stress-response — prefer to avoid problem solving, persistence and aggressiveness to overcome difficulties and often turn for help to the social environment.The obtained results, highlighting the peculiarities of coping behavior and the relationship to disease of persons with disabilities, can be used in preparing the program of corrective treatment by psychologists in rehabilitation agencies to provide focused psychological support of personality to any situation limit possibilities of health.
