520 $a Osteoarthritis is one of the most prevalent chronic illnesses in older women in the U.S. Along with limitations of physical functioning, osteoarthritis creates numerous sources of physical and emotional stress in daily life. Greater understanding of the mechanisms of stress, coping, and adaptation can assist women in improving their ability to cope with ongoing health problems.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among physical functioning, chronic daily stress, coping strategies, beliefs about personal control, perceived social support, and life satisfaction of older women with osteoarthritis. An adaptation of Lazarus and Folkman's theory of stress and coping provided the conceptual framework for this study. The convenience sample included 107 women aged 60 or older who were diagnosed by a physician as having osteoarthritis and lived in a community in Texas. Six survey questionnaires and a personal information form were used for data collection. Data analysis included bivariate correlational analysis and hierarchical regression analysis.
520 $a The findings of this study are as follows: (1) physical functioning was significantly related to chronic daily stress; (2) individuals with poorer functional ability experienced greater chronic daily stress, reported more frequent use of emotion-focused coping strategies, and had a higher chance health locus of control; (3) a positive relationship existed between problem-focused coping strategies and perceived social support; (4) internal health locus of control was positively related to perceived social support; (5) the independent variables of co-morbidity, financial status, chronic daily stress, perceived social support, and internal health locus of control accounted for 48% of the variance in the life satisfaction total scores; and (6) in particular, perceived social support and internal health locus of control significantly predicted of life satisfaction.
