Proactive coping involves taking anticipatory actions to prevent or modify the impact of an upcoming stressful event, rather than waiting to react after the event has occurred. It does not inherently run counter to self-efficacy, is not limited to less traumatic events, and is focused on actions taken before, rather than after, a stressful event occurs.
