The impact of coping strategies in behcet & #39;s disease: A case-control study

Conclusions: Excessive use of confrontive coping, accepting responsibility, and escape-avoidance strategies seems to increase depression and anxiety in Behcet's patients. Besides, among those strategies, confrontive coping is significantly associated with depression and quality of life in BD patients that should be considered in therapeutic approaches. Our results highlighted that Behcet's patients have different coping strategies than healthy controls that may impair the psychological adjustment process.
