dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine social support, self-efficacy and coping methods in
relation to perceived stress in a student sample. Data was gathered from 82 students studying
in a Dublin based institution. The data was gathered by means of self reported questionnaires,
the general self-efficacy scale, the social support (short form) questionnaire, the brief cope
and the perceived stress scale. The analysis showed that there was a significant relationship
between perceived stress and self-efficacy, the amount of social support received and the
coping methods: denial, planning and self blame. No significant difference was found in the
perceived stress scores of full and part-time students or Irish and international students. A
significant gender difference in the amount of social support received, emotional support and
substance use used as a coping mechanism was found. Author keywords: Perceived stress, social support, coping methods, self-efficacy | en |
