Psychosocial coping resources and health among Germans and Poles
Culture has a substantial impact on mechanism of coping with stress and related health outcomes. We proposed a model
emphasizing the mediating role of coping resources and competences in the relationship between controllability of
demands in professional/educational life and health in the cross-cultural context. The model is based on the transactional
model of stress. 595 participants from East Germany, West Germany and Poland completed: Sense of Coherence Scale
SOC-9, Self-Esteem Scale, Social Support Scale, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Proactive Coping Inventory, Scale of
Demands in Professional Life, Brief Stress Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Mental Health Questionnaire. The
results have shown the general cross-cultural validity of the proposed mediational model but also indicated some cultural
differences in the determinants of health. Germans had higher self-esteem and social support. Poles had higher selfefficacy
and used proactive coping strategies more often. Self-esteem was the strongest predictor of mental health in both
nations. We discussed the results within a broad interpretive framework of social transitions

47449.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access)In this retrospective study 351 children (<16.0 years) with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) accepted for renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the four Dutch pediatric centers were analyzed for the period 1987-2001. The data were compared with a previous study performed in 1979-1986. Eighty patients were of non-Dutch origin. An annual ESRD incidence of 5.8 patients per million of the child population (p.m.c.p.) was calculated, without significant changes with time. The final prevalence in Dutch children under 15 years of ESRD was 38.7 p.m.c.p. The most frequent primary renal disease leading to ESRD was urethral valves, with a significant increase vs. the previous observation period (14% vs. 6%). The distribution of primary renal diseases was similar in patients of non-Dutch origin and in Dutch patients. Peritoneal dialysis was the most frequent dialysis procedure initially applied (62% vs. 26% in the earlier observation period). Thirteen percent of all first transplantations (n=278) were pre-emptive and 19% from living donors. Five-year graft survival after a living-donor and a cadaver graft was 80% and 73%, respectively. Overall patient survival after 10 years on RRT was 94%
