Abstract
Summary. The purpose of the study was to investigate active coping strategies as a mechanism of psychological adaptation / disadaptation to the disease in patients with bronchial asthma (n = 120) of 30 to 60 years of age. Psychological investigation was done using the "Ways of Coping Questionnaire". The study has found that protective mechanisms were primarily observed in the personality structure of asthma patients; this could contribute to the development of nonadaptive variants of coping strategies including anger and irritability. The results of this study could be useful for development of educational systems to teach asthma patients coping behavior skills to maintain their health and wellbeing.
