Abstract:
This article presents the current conceptualization of stress with particular attention focused on psychologic stress in rheumatic diseases: its sources, pathophysiology, and techniques of coping. Predictors, i.e., factors heralding psychologic stress in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are discussed in relation to the mechanism of the "vicious circle" as well as to the socio-economic and medico-psychologic context in which the patient functions. The author's results from a comparative Polish-German study on predictors of psychologic stress in RA patients are provided.
