The Role of Personal Resources in Coping

Abstract

BackgroundStress reactions can be a result of occupational and everyday stress, which are perceived individually. The insufficient compensation of stress can lead to various diseases. Personality traits play an important role in this. Stress reactions can lead to health problems and diseases. Therefore it is important to reduce stress. The aim of this study was to examine the role of personality traits in dealing with stress perception and coping. Material and methodThe questionnaire on Differential stress inventory (DSI) differentiated 217 subjects into 5 types of DSI. The survey compared these 5 types along their personality traits via the Freiburg Personality Inventory (FPI-R). ResultsThe DSI types showed significant differences in the expression of the personality traits. This applies the everyday stress, professional and private interactions with other people and the existential and future fears. People with pronounced physical disorders in the FPI showed physical and/or emotional-cognitive stress manifestation as well as a sense of helplessness. Life satisfaction is negatively related to stressors, for example through everyday life. ConclusionThe survey revealed the importance of personality traits in coping with job strain. Occupational health diagnostics should be integrated in occupational health care and prevention. The occupational physician or the prevention team appear here to be significant, as they see workers falling through the classic family doctor model. In the prevention team, personality traits can be supplemented by psychologists. Personal resources can be imparted or reinforced to prevent physical disorders.

Assessment of reinforced concrete building damages following the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Malatya, Turkey (February 6, 2023)

Abstract

Earthquakes of magnitude Mw = 7.7 and Mw = 7.6 hit the city of Kahramanmaraş (Turkey) on 6 February 2023. These earthquakes caused serious damage in 11 provinces in Turkey resulting in over 50,000 deaths and huge economic losses with the collapse of thousands of buildings. Two consecutive devastating earthquakes have severely damaged the reinforced concrete building stock located in Malatya. There are many reasons reinforced concrete structures suffer damage under the influence of seismic loads. These reasons can be listed as material and section properties that do not comply with earthquake codes, workmanship defects, ground parameters that are not considered and design errors, as seen in field investigations after earthquakes in Turkey in the past. In this research, a field study was conducted on reinforced concrete buildings damaged after the earthquakes in Malatya province. The causes of structural damages in reinforced concrete buildings between 6–26 years of age were assessed in terms of design and material defects. The structural damages were mainly caused due to insufficient stirrups in structural members, short column, strong beam–weak column, failures of infill walls, soft story type collapse, poor concrete quality, and reinforcement corrosion. In addition to the field investigation, the spectrum relationships created using raw acceleration data obtained from DEMP (Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency) stations in Malatya province were compared with the design response spectra.
