    Perceived stress, social support and coping strategies on retired teachers' psychological well-being
    Barcelona, Mary Racelyn T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)
    Retirement poses significant changes in the lives of the old age population. Along with this are changes in social networks, activities and life outcomes. To examine perceived stress, social support, coping strategies and psychological well-being among retired teachers in Tigbauan, Iloilo, qualitative and quantitative measures were conducted to 41 retired teachers. In general, retired teachers perceive low levels of stress. Factors that contribute to perceived stress are health conditions, financial concerns, family problems and current activities. Social support, which is provided primarily by family and friends, is experienced in high levels. In terms of coping, emotion-focused coping is engaged in by the majority. The leading specific coping strategy they employ is praying or going to church. The majority experience positive levels of psychological well-being, which can be predicted using the variable of social support, as revealed by regression analysis.

    Arzaga, Mary Juliebel B.; Palma, Valerie S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)
    This study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge and beliefs of menopausal women, experiences, health practices, and their coping strategies on menopausal stage. Fifty (50) menopausal women whose age ranges from 35 to 55 were purposively selected to participate in the study. An Open-ended questionnaire on knowledge, experiences, health practices, and coping strategies scale were developed. Results showed that menopausal women entered menopause at about 46 to 50 years of age. It is also revealed that they were knowledgeable and well-informed about the process of menopause. They relied on herbal medicine both internal and external use. During the difficult periods of menopausal, they resorted to self-help and develop a closer relationship with God.
