Age Differences in Coping, Behavioral Dysfunction and Depression Following Colostomy Surgery.

Keyes, Kathryn; And Others

Gerontologist, v27 n2 p182-84 Apr 1987

Examined the responses of a group of middle-aged and older adults (N=34) to colostomy surgery. Analyzed the relationship between the method and focus of coping and age, sickness-related dysfunction, and depression. Found that neither a lower level of active behavioral coping nor age itself was correlated with depression or dysfunction. (Author/ABB)
