This study shows the relevance and need of gender-sensitive psychosocial-care. Especially in men, psychosocial interventions should target maladaptive coping strategies. Within women, fostering optimism seems to be particularly important. As the model did not fit as well for women, more gender-sensitive research is needed to understand potentially different risk/protective factors and needs of support
