Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to determine the role of coping strategies and attitudes in predicting distress due to hallucinations in schizophrenia. Seventy‐five chronic stable schizophrenia patients were assessed with respect to sociodemographic profile, clinical variables, general psychopathology, phenomenology (severity) of hallucinations, attitude towards hallucinations, distress due to hallucinations (determined by two measures) and coping strategies used to deal with hallucinations. On multiple stepwise regression analysis, ‘severity of hallucinations’ and ‘problem‐solving coping strategies’ contributed significantly to both measures of distress. It can be concluded that distress due to hallucinations in schizophrenia is determined by severity of hallucinations (stressor) and problem‐solving coping strategies. Attitudes do not seem to play any role in this respect.

  • Individuals who are more distressed by auditory verbal hallucinations tend to use more avoidant or resistance coping strategies.

    “In comparison, individuals who are more distressed by AVHs tend to use more avoidant or resistance coping strategies (Farhall et al., 2007;Singh et al., 2003;Vaughan & Fowler, 2004).”

    From Mindfulness for voices: An experimental analogue study of the effect of manipulating response style to simulated voices in a non‐clinical population. (2023) · cites this paper as Singh et al., 2003

    The Results and Discussion report that patients with greater distress used more coping strategies overall, particularly problem-solving strategies. The Results do not report a significant association between distress and avoidance coping, and do not identify resistance as a coping category. The cited paper therefore supports the broader distress–coping relationship, but not the specific strategy types claimed. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
