Relationship between ruminative thinking, life events and learning value doubt among junior high school students / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To explore the mediating effect of rumination between life events and learning value doubt among junior high school students, so as to provide reference for the psychological health education of junior high school students.@*Methods@#From March to July 2023, a total of 930 junior high school students from Guangdong, Jiangsu and Hebei were selected by a combination of convenient sampling methods. Participants completed the Scales of Value of Learning (SVL), Ruminative Response scale (RRS) and Adolescent Self rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC). The t test and ANOVA were used for inter group comparisons and Pearson correlation analysis was used for correlation analysis and bootstrap method was used for mediating effect test.@*Results@#The life events of junior middle school students were positively correlated with learning value doubt ( r =0.18), rumination ( r = 0.65 ) and its three dimensions (brooding, reflective pondering, and symptom focused rumination) ( r =0.60, 0.59, 0.66). Learning value doubt was positively correlated with rumination ( r =0.15) and its three dimensions ( r =0.07, 0.13, 0.19) ( P <0.05).The symptom focused rumination (effect size=0.09, 95% CI =0.06-0.11) and brooding (effect size=-0.07, 95% CI =-0.09--0.04) dimensions partially mediated the relationship between life events and learning value doubt. In the two influential pathways, symptom focused rumination exerts a stronger impact, and the difference was statistically significant (effect size=0.15, 95% CI =0.11- 0.20 , excluding 0) ( P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#Life events experienced by junior high school students can positively predict learning value doubt through symptom focused rumination, and negatively predict learning value doubt through brooding. Active attention should be paid to the mental health status of junior high school students, intervene promptly when they experience life events, reduce symptom based rumination, and improve their learning enthusiasm.

Effects of stress on sleep quality: multiple mediating effects of rumination and social anxiety

Background In contemporary society, with the accelerated pace of work and life, more and more people feel different degrees of stress. Long-term stress may not only lead to insomnia, but also to mental health problems (e.g., anxiety and depression), which has a significant impact on people's quality of life and mental health. Objective This study primarily investigates the mechanism through which stress affects sleep quality among college students. Methods We conducted research on 1653 Chinese college students using four scales with high reliability and validity: stress, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, social anxiety, and rumination. Results The study found: (1) Stress can significantly and positively predict sleep quality and rumination; (2) Rumination can positively predict social anxiety; (3) Social anxiety can positively predict sleep quality; (4) Stress can affect sleep quality through social anxiety and rumination separately, and stress can also affect sleep quality through the chained mediation of rumination and social anxiety. Conclusion This study reveals the relationship and mechanisms between stress and sleep quality. It not only deepens the research on the impact of stress on sleep quality but also provides theoretical support and new methods for mental health professionals to help clients improve their sleep quality. In practice, in addition to using some common psychological intervention methods to help individuals reduce stress, we should pay more attention to how to help clients reduce rumination and social anxiety, This is significant in improving the quality of an individual's sleep.

Relaciones entre atención, claridad y reparación emocional con respuestas rumiativas en universitarios de Lima

El factor de atención emocional ha sido reportado con frecuencia negativamente asociado con indicadores de salud mental; al contrario de los resultados obtenidos con los factores de claridad y de reparación emocional. Los objetivos del estudio fueron examinar las relaciones entre atención, claridad y reparación emocional con los factores de respuestas rumiativas y determinar si la relación entre la atención emocional y rumiación varía de acuerdo con los niveles de atención, claridad y reparación emocional en estudiantes universitarios de Lima, Perú. Para ello, primero se realizó un estudio de la estructura factorial y la confiabilidad de la TMMS-24 y de la Escala de Respuestas Rumiativas, en 320 estudiantes de una universidad pública de Lima, Perú. Segundo, se llevó a cabo un estudio correlacional mediante la aplicación de ambos instrumentos a 529 estudiantes de la misma universidad. En la muestra total se obtuvo que ambos factores de rumiación correlacionaron positivamente con atención emocional, pero solo reproche correlacionó con claridad y con reparación, siendo tal correlación negativa. Para determinar si la relación positiva entre atención y rumiación varía con los niveles de atención, claridad y reparación, se compararon las correlaciones entre atención y rumiación correspondientes a los grupos de baja, media y alta atención, claridad y reparación. Estas comparaciones mostraron que la relación entre atención y los factores de rumiación variaban solo en función del nivel de reparación. Los resultados indican diferencias importantes en la manera en que se relaciona cada factor de rumiación con la atención emocional, por un lado, y con la claridad y la reparación emocional, por el otro.

The emotional attention factor has been often reported as negatively associated with mental health indicators, contrary to the results attained with the emotional clarity and repair factors. The objectives of this study were to examine relationships between emotional attention, clarity and repair and factors of ruminative responses and to determine whether the relation between emotional attention and rumination could vary according to the levels of emotional attention, clarity and repair in university students from Lima, Peru. For this, in first place, a study was carried out to determine the factor structure and the internal consistency of the TMMS-24 and the Ruminative Responses Scale in 320 undergraduates of a public university in Lima, Peru. After this psychometric study, it was carried out a correlation study in 529 undergraduates from the same university. In the whole sample, both rumination factors positively correlated with emotional attention, but only brooding correlated with clarity and repair, negatively. In order to determine whether the positive relation between attention and rumination varies with the levels of attention, clarity and repair, the attention-rumination correlations were compared between groups of low, medium and high attention, clarity and repair. These comparisons shown that the relationship between attention and rumination factors varied only as a function of the level of repair. These results indicate important differences in the way that each rumination factor is related with emotional attention, on the one hand, and with emotional clarity and repair, on the other.

Experiential Avoidance and Hyperreflexivity as Variables Associated with Depression: A Process-Based Approach

La depresión es un problema importante de salud pública que afecta a una proporción significativa de adultos jóvenes, como los estudiantes universitarios. Para su estudio se ha propuesto un enfoque basado en procesos, que busca identificar variables psicológicas transdiagnósticas que puedan ser objeto de cambio en las intervenciones psicoterapéuticas. El propósito de este trabajo fue analizar la interrelación entre un conjunto de variables de proceso (fusión cognitiva, rumia y evitación experiencial), así como examinar la relación entre cada una de estas variables y la depresión en 368 estudiantes universitarios de entre 18 y 29 años (M = 21.35, DE = 2.36, 77.7 % mujeres). Se halló que la fusión cognitiva y la rumia conformaban una variable global denominada hiperreflexividad, mientras que la evitación experiencial constituía un constructo diferente. Al analizar un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, se encontró que solo la hiperreflexividad predecía significativamente la depresión. Se discuten estos resultados y sus posibles implicaciones para la práctica clínica. Se recomienda seguir estudiando la hiperreflexividad como una variable supraordinada de relevancia para la psicopatologia.

Depression is a major public health problem that affects a significant proportion of young adults, such as college students. A process-based approach has been proposed for its study, which seeks to identify transdiagnostic psychological variables that can be the target of change in psychotherapeutic interventions. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the interrelation between a set of process variables (cognitive fusion, rumination, and experiential avoidance), as well as to examine the relationship between each of these variables and depression in 368 college students aged 18-29 years (M = 21.35, SD = 2.36, 77.7% female). Cognitive fusion and rumination were found to comprise an overarching variable termed hyperreflexivity, while experiential avoidance constituted a different construct. By analyzing a structural equation model, it was found that only hyperreflexivity predicted depression significantly. These findings and their possible implications for clinical practice are discussed. Further study of hyperreflexivity as a superordinate variable of relevance to psychopathology is recommended.

Psychometric properties of the Diurnal Insomnia Symptoms Response Scale (DISRS) in a Mexican population sample APPENDIX / Propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Respuestas a los Síntomas Diurnos del Insomnio (DISRS) en una muestra de población mexicana

Abstract Introduction Increased rumination is associated with longer night-time sleep onset latency and poorer sleep quality and efficiency in people with insomnia symptoms. Objective To validate the Diurnal Insomnia Symptoms Response Scale (DISRS) in a general population sample. Method 102 participants (women = 67 and men = 35) comprising patients and relatives who attended an outpatient consultation at a health center in Mexico City were evaluated. The English-Spanish-English translation system was used by two Spanish-speaking experts on the subject, an independent bilingual expert translated the new version of the scale into English, which was then compared with the original. The following self-administered questionnaires were used to evaluate the convergent, discriminant validity of this tool: the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). Results The internal consistency of the scale items was α = .93. Principal components factor analysis yielded three factors with an eigenvalue of greater than one, which together explain 59.5% of the variance. Correlations between the total DISRS score and the cognitive-motivational dimensions (r = .938, p < .01), negative state (r = .898, p < .01) and tiredness (r = .853, p < .01) were statistically significant. Insomnia symptoms (SCC = .89) outweighed worries (SCC = .33) and ruminant responses (SCC = .33) when discriminating between cases with low and high levels of rumination associated with insomnia symptoms. Discussion and conclusion Our results suggest that the DISRS scale has adequate psychometric properties that make it valid and reliable for use with the Mexican population.

Resumen Introducción Los pensamientos rumiativos se asocian con mayor latencia del sueño, peor calidad y eficiencia de sueño en personas con insomnio. Objetivo Realizar la validación de la escala de respuestas a los síntomas diurnos del insomnio (DISRS) en una muestra de población general en México. Método Se evaluaron a 102 participantes (mujeres = 67 y hombres = 35) que acudieron a consulta externa de un centro de salud de la Ciudad de México. Se utilizó el sistema de traducción inglés-español-inglés, un experto bilingüe independiente tradujo al inglés la nueva versión de la escala y se verificó con el original. Para evaluar la validez convergente y discriminante del DISRS, se aplicó la Escala de Respuestas Rumiativas (RRS), el Índice de Severidad del Insomnio (ISI) y el Cuestionario de Preocupaciones de Pensilvania (PSWQ). Resultados La consistencia interna de los ítems fue α = .93. El análisis factorial de componentes principales determinó tres factores con valor propio superior a uno, que explican 59.5% de la varianza. Las correlaciones del puntaje del DISRS con las dimensiones cognitivo-motivacional (r = .938, p < .01), estado negativo (r = .898, p < .01) y cansancio (r = .853, p < .01) resultaron significativas. Los síntomas de insomnio (CCE =.89) tuvieron más peso que las preocupaciones (CCE = .33) y las respuestas rumiativas (CCE = .33) al discriminar a los casos con bajos y altos niveles de rumiación asociada al insomnio. Discusión y conclusión La escala DISRS en español tiene adecuadas propiedades psicométricas que la hacen válida y confiable para ser utilizada en población mexicana.

Relationship between insomnia and suicidal ideation in adolescents with depressive disorder： the mediating role of rumination / 四川精神卫生

ObjectiveTo explore the mediating effect of rumination on the relationship between insomnia and suicidal ideation in adolescents with depressive disorder， so as to provide guidance for the preventions of suicidal ideation. MethodsA total of 302 adolescents with major depressive disorder in Department of Psychosomatic Medicine of Deyang People's Hospital from January to December 2020 and met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5） clinical significance criterion for depressive disorder were enrolled. All individuals were assessed using Insomnia Severity Index （ISI）， Ruminative Response Scale （RRS） and Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation （PANSI）. Then the mediating effect of rumination in the relation between insomnia and suicidal ideation in adolescents with major depression disorder was analyzed using Process v3.2 model 4， and testified with the bias-corrected non-parametric percentile Bootstrap method. ResultsISI scores in adolescents with major depression disorder were positively correlated with PANSI score （r=0.400， P<0.01）， and were positively correlated with RRS total score， obsessive thinking and introspection factor score （r=0.378， 0.360， 0.333， P<0.01）. RRS score was also positively correlated with PANSI score （r=0.292， P<0.01）. Rumination exerted a partial mediating effect on the relationship between insomnia and suicidal ideation （β=0.174， 95% CI： 0.098~0.261）. ConclusionThe relationship between insomnia and suicidal ideation in adolescents with depressive disorder is partially mediated by rumination， additionally， insomnia can affect suicidal ideation in adolescents with depressive disorder both directly and indirectly through rumination.

Objective:To investigate the mediating effect of rumination in primiparae on the expectation gap of social support and postpartum depression, so as to provide a reference basis for early detection and intervention in the regulation of meternal postpartum depression.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, questionnaires were administered from November 2021 to March 2022 using the general information questionnaire, the Ruminant Thinking Response Scale, the Postpartum Social Support Scale, and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale to 266 primiparae at three tertiary level A hospitals, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, and the Northwest Women′s and Children′s Hospital, for postpartum review, and the relationship between ruminant thinking, social support expectation gap, and postpartum depression was analyzed using correlation analysis, structural equation modeling, and application of Bootsrap method.Results:The social support expectation gap, ruminative thinking, and postpartum depression average scores were (16.74 ± 12.77), (39.43 ± 4.14), (6.77 ± 2.77) points, respectively.There were positive correlations between social support expectation gap and ruminative thinking, postpartum depression, and ruminative thinking and postpartum depression ( r=0.62, 0.75, 0.70, all P<0.01). Primiparae ruminative thinking partially mediated the relationship between social support expectation gap and postpartum depression, with the mediating effect accounting for 22% of the total effect. Conclusions:Social support expectation gap can directly affect the occurrence of postpartum depression, but also indirectly through ruminative thinking, and postpartum depression can be prevented and intervened from the perspective of reducing ruminative thinking in clinical practice.

Mediating effect of psychological capital on rumination and learning burnout among undergraduate nursing students / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of rumination on learning burnout of nursing undergraduate students and the mediating role of psychological capital between rumination and learning burnout of nursing undergraduate students.Methods:A total of 296 undergraduate nursing students from three medical colleges were assessed by using ruminative responses scale, learning burnout questionnaire and psychological capital scale. SPSS 20.0 was used for t-test. Pearson correlation was to analyze the relationship among psychological capital, learning burnout and ruminative thinking. AMOS 20.0 was used to construct and analyze the mediating model of psychological capital and its mediating effect was tested by Bootstrap method. Results:The average score of rumination of nursing undergraduate students was 46.60±11.40, learning burnout score was 56.18±11.25, and psychological capital scale score was 99.93±15.27. There was a significant difference among the rumination, psychological capital, and learning burnout scores in whether there was curriculum failure ( P < 0.05). The total score of rumination was positively related to the total score of learning burnout ( r = 0.39, P < 0.01), and was negatively related to the total score of psychological capital ( r = -0.53, P < 0.01). The total score of rumination was negatively related to the total score of psychological capital ( r = -0.46, P < 0.01). The psychological capital played a partial mediating role between rumination and learning burnout. The mediating effect value was 0.216, accounting for 61.521% of the total variation. Conclusion:The rumination can both directly affect the learning burnout of nursing undergraduate students and indirectly affect the learning burnout through psychological capital. Psychological capital plays a bridge role in improving rumination related to learning burnout.

Conclusions:There is heterogeneity in the caregiver′s benefit finding of patients with esophageal cancer. Health professionals and nursing staff should develop targeted psychological support and interventions to improve the caregiver ′s benefit finding according to the different sub-types of caregivers.

Path analysis of mediating effect of perceived stress affecting impact of event in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of perceived stress on the impact of event in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury, and the mediating role of difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination and sleep. MethodsFrom March, 2022 to March, 2023, using the convenient sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 192 rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury from Southwest Hospital, Xinqiao Hospital and Daping Hospital. Assessment tools included Perceived Stress Scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Brief Ruminative Response Scale, Self-Rating Scale of Sleep, and Impact of Event Scale-revised. ResultsPerceived stress, difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination, sleep and the impact of event were correlated with each other in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury (r = 0.447~0.684, P < 0.01). Perceived stress significant positively predicted the impact of event (β = 0.49, P < 0.001), as well as difficulties in emotion (β = 0.70, P < 0.001), rumination (β = 0.21, P < 0.05) and sleep (β = 0.29, P < 0.001). The direct effect of perceived stress on the impact of event was not significant, but it affected the impact of event through seven mediation paths, among which the independent mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination and sleep accounted for 24.41%, 11.91% and 24.82%, respectively; the chain mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation and rumination accounted for 13.88%, the chain mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation and sleep accounted for 18.08%, the chain mediation effect size of rumination and sleep accounted for 3.17%, and the chain mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation, meditation and sleep accounted for 3.70%. ConclusionPerceived stress affected the impact of event in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury through the independent mediation and chain mediation of difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination and sleep.

Mediating effect of rumination on anxiety, depression and quality of life in adult patients with epilepsy / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the mediating effect between anxiety, depression and quality of life in adult patients with epilepsy.Methods:A total of 118 adult patients with epilepsy from Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University were investigated with the ruminative responses scale (RRS), neurological disorders depression inventory for epilepsy (NDDI-E), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7), quality of life scale for adult epilepsy patients (QOLIE-31 Chinese Version) and the self-made general situation questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 20.0 software.Pearson correlation analysis was employed to assess the relationships between rumination, quality of life, anxiety, and depression scores. Hierarchical regression analysis was employed to examine the mediating effect.Results:Among the 118 participants, 5 (4.24%), 58 (49.15%), and 55 (46.61%) patients exhibited high (RRS=66-88), middle (RRS=44-65), and low (RRS=22-43) level of rumination, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significantly negative correlations between the scores of rumination and its dimensions and quality of life in patients with epilepsy ( r=-0.411--0.318, all P<0.05). Additionally, there were significantly positive correlations between the scores of rumination and its dimensions and anxiety scores ( r=0.524-0.676, all P<0.05) and depression scores ( r=0.566-0.767, all P<0.05). Hierarchical regression analysis demonstrated that rumination played partially mediating role in the relationship between anxiety and quality of life, as well as the relationship between depression and quality of life, with mediation effect values of -0.201 and -0.215, respectively. Conclusion:Anxiety and depression can affect the quality of life of adult patients with epilepsy through rumination.

Chain mediating effect of rumination and avoidance coping between information anxiety and suicidal ideation in college students / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the mediating roles of rumination and avoidance coping between information anxiety and suicidal ideation.Methods:In March 2022, a total of 896 college students were surveyed by the information anxiety scale(IAS), ruminative responses scale(RRS), coping style questionnaire(CSQ)and self-rating idea of suicidal ideation scale(SIOSS). The ANOVA analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and mediating effect analysis were performed by the SPSS 22.0 software.Results:The detection rate of suicidal ideation among college students was 9.15%(82/896). The information anxiety score was(73.84±17.29), the rumination score was(47.73±12.16), the avoidance coping score was(3.76±2.52), and the suicidal ideation score was(5.41±4.09). Information anxiety was significantly positively correlated with rumination, avoidance coping and suicidal ideation( r=0.49, 0.36, 0.37, all P<0.05). Rumination was significantly positively correlated with avoidance coping and suicidal ideation( r=0.42, 0.59, both P<0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between avoidance coping and suicidal ideation( r=0.45, P<0.05). Information anxiety affected suicidal ideation of college students through four paths.The direct effect value of information anxiety on suicidal ideation was 0.06, accounting for 16.67% of the total effect. The effect values of the separate mediating effect of rumination and avoid coping were 0.22 and 0.04, and accounting for 61.11% and 11.11% of the total effect respectively. The chain mediating effect value of rumination and avoid coping was 0.04, accounting for 11.11% of the total effect. Conclusion:Information anxiety can directly affect suicidal ideation of college students and indirectly affect suicidal ideation through rumination and avoidance coping.

Adaptação transcultural para o português brasileiro da Escala de Ruminação Relacionada ao Trabalho (B-WRRS) / Transcultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese of the Work-related rumination scale (B-WRRS)

Resumo Introdução A ruminação relacionada ao trabalho se refere aos pensamentos relativos aos diversos aspectos do trabalho que ocorrem nos períodos de folga. Objetivo Descrever o processo de adaptação transcultural da escala de ruminação relacionada ao trabalho para o contexto brasileiro (B-WRRS) e analisar suas propriedades psicométricas. Método Foi realizada a tradução, retrotradução e avaliação psicométrica inicial de uma escala composta por 15 itens e três dimensões, onde a B-WRRS foi testada em 173 trabalhadores de cargos administrativos de uma instituição pública. Para a avaliação da validade dimensional, iniciou-se com a análise fatorial confirmatória, tendo como base o modelo original proposto pelos autores da escala. Foi realizada também a análise fatorial exploratória, utilizando o Mplus. Resultados A adaptação da escala cumpriu as etapas de avaliação da equivalência conceitual, de itens, semântica e operacional, apresentando grande aceitabilidade e compreensão por parte dos respondentes. A avaliação da estrutura fatorial da B-WRRS corroborou a tridimensionalidade da escala. Conclusão Por ser simples e rápido, o preenchimento da B-WRRS se destaca como promissor para o uso no ambiente de trabalho. O processo de adaptação transcultural do instrumento não apresentou divergências conceituais nem semânticas. Entretanto, as diferenças observadas na composição das dimensões indicam a necessidade de novas avaliações psicométricas para estabelecer a equivalência funcional da B-WRRS.

Abstract Background The work-related rumination scale refers to thoughts related to various aspects of work that occur during periods of rest. Objective To describe the transcultural adaptation process of the work-related rumination scale to the Brazilian context (B-WRRS), and to analyze psychometric properties. Method Translation, back-translation, and initial psychometric evaluation of the scale, which comprised 15 items and 3 dimensions, were performed. B-WRRS was tested on a sample of 173 administrative staff at a public institution. To evaluate the dimensional validity, the confirmatory factor analysis was tested based on the original model proposed by the authors of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis was also performed using Mplus. Results The transcultural adaptation of the scale fulfilled the steps of assessment of conceptual, item, semantic, and operational equivalence, showing acceptability and understanding by the respondents. The evaluation of the factorial structure of B-WRRS corroborated the three-dimensionality of the scale. Conclusion The simple and quick filling of the scale highlights that the use of B-WRRS in the work environment is promising. The process of cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument did not present conceptual or semantic divergences. However, the differences observed in the composition of the dimensions indicate the need for new psychometric assessments to establish the functional equivalence of B-WRRS.

Análisis de las respuestas cognitivas relacionadas con el diagnóstico de cáncer en pacientes mexicanos / Cognitive response related to cancer diagnosis in Mexican patients

Resumen La evaluación subjetiva ha sido descripta como una variable mediadora para la respuesta emocional. Se presenta con diferentes contenidos y estilos. El estilo cognitivo se refiere a la manera en que se piensa sobre el estresor, por ejemplo: la rumiación (pensamientos intrusivos, repetitivos, que generan malestar emocional), la evitación (intentos por no pensar en el estresor) y el compromiso cognitivo (enfocados en búsqueda de sentido o solución). En base a esta respuesta emocional, se busca explorar y describir los pensamientos relacionados con el cáncer en un grupo de diez pacientes con la enfermedad. En un estudio cualitativo, se les pidió a diez pacientes con cáncer que indicaran los cinco pensamientos más frecuentes desde su diagnóstico. Se analizó el contenido mediante la técnica top down (teoría a contenido) y, a partir de los estilos de respuestas cognitivas, se clasificó el contenido de los pensamientos reportados por estilo de pensamiento (rumiación, compromiso cognitivo o evitación), por temporalidad (pasado, presente y futuro) y por valencia (positiva o negativa). Posteriormente, se hizo el análisis bottom up (contenido a teoría). Se hicieron tablas cruzadas para identificar los contenidos según el estilo de pensamiento, la temporalidad y la valencia. En los pensamientos con estilo rumiativo, el enfoque temporal se dirigía en su mayoría al futuro y al pasado, mientras que el compromiso cognitivo se enfocaba en el presente. Esta diferencia fue estadísticamente significativa mediante una prueba de chi cuadrado. Dentro de los temas relacionados con la incertidumbre, se refirieron a la muerte, al pronóstico de la enfermedad, a la respuesta de la familia y a las finanzas (en el futuro) y a las causas y culpa (en el pasado).

Abstract Cancer has been defined by the World Health Organization as "a disease caused by abnormal cells growing uncontrollably in the body, going beyond their usual boundaries, invading adjoining parts of the body and spreading to other organs". Being diagnosed with cancer has been described as an experience with diverse emotional reactions and difficulties in adaptation, having psychological consequences, being most common depression, anxiety and psychological distress; but also, some patients present positive consequences after having a cancer diagnosis, such as post traumatic growth, which includes positive changes presented after the disease experience. Subjective appraisal about cancer has been defined as a mediating variable for the emotional response presented after a stressor, such as cancer diagnosis, treatment, or important changes during disease process (initiating and finalizing treatment, presenting relapse or remission, as well as when having control studies). The subjective appraisal can be presented with different thought content and styles. Thought style is referred as the way thoughts about the stressor are presented, it has been classified as rumination (thoughts that are intrusive and repetitive that also increase psychological distress), cognitive engagement (thoughts associated with problem solving and meaning finding) or avoidance (aiming to stop thinking about stressor or feeling associated with it). Depending on the thought style presented at a stressor, could be the emotional response (anxiety, depression, distress, post-traumatic growth). The aim of the present study was to describe the thoughts (style, content, valence and temporality) related to cancer diagnosis in a group of ten oncologic patients. To identify if differences between thought style, valence and temporality were presented. The study design is qualitative from a phenomenological point of view. Ten oncologic (different cancer type, clinical stage and treatment) patients were asked to write the five more frequent thoughts since their cancer diagnosis. Each thought was classified by: thought style, valence, and temporality (top-down, classifying the thoughts according to theory). The same thoughts were also classified in semantic units (bottom-up, classifying the thoughts according to their own contents), generating concerns from the content. Cross tabs were made to identify contents and temporality for thought style and valence, which were analyzed by chi square to identify differences between thought style, temporality and valence. The most common thought style was cognitive engagement, followed by rumination (almost same frequency). On what respects to thought style and temporality, rumination was more focused on past (causes and attributions of cancer) and future (uncertainty about death and treatment effectiveness); meanwhile, cognitive engagement was focused on present (to enjoy present moment and focus on daily actions). Chi square was made to identify if this difference was significant, showing temporality was significantly different in cognitive engagement and rumination. The concerns identified in study participants were uncertainty about future and disease, family (communication and wellness of the family), finances (due to expensive treatments), causes and guilt about having cancer. Thoughts that were more centered in present, were more likely to be associated with cognitive engagement. Cognitive engagement has been described previously as an important variable associated with post traumatic growth. Thoughts centered in the past and present were more associated with rumination. Rumination has been associated with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Because of mediating role of thought style in disease adaptation, emotional response to the disease, and the relation of this adaptation with the perception of quality of life in cancer patients, the design of psychological interventions aiming on promoting cognitive engagement by problem solving skills, meaning finding, and focusing on present could be a research line derived from present studies results.

Grief and ruminative thought after perinatal loss among Turkish women: one-year cohort study

Abstract BACKGROUND: Among women who have suffered loss of pregnancy, the level of grief decreases gradually. Age, mental health status and childlessness are the factors known to mostly affect women's levels of grief. OBJECTIVES: To assess the levels of grief among women who experienced perinatal loss and the changes in their ruminative thought styles over the first year after their loss. DESIGN AND SETTING: One-year follow-up study carried out in a university hospital in Turkey. METHODS: The study population included 70 women who experienced loss of pregnancy in the hospital. The sample size was calculated using G*Power V3.1. Data were collected at 48 hours, at the third month, at the sixth month and at one year after pregnancy loss, between June 2018 and June 2019. A personal information form, the Perinatal Grief Scale and the Ruminative Thought Style Questionnaire were used for data collection. RESULTS: The women's highest levels of grief and ruminative thought style were in the first 48 hours. Their tendency towards grief and ruminative thought styles decreased over the repeated measurements during the follow-up. Women aged 20-29 years had the highest levels of grief at the third month after perinatal loss. CONCLUSIONS: Nursing assessments regarding grief and ruminative thought style over the first 48 hours after perinatal loss should be integrated into nursing care for these women. Grief follow-up programs for these women can be developed through nursing research.

A chain mediating model of rumination and depression between non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal ideation in adolescents with depressive disorder / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the effects of non-suicidal self-injury on suicidal ideation in adolescents with depressive disorder, and the mediating role of rumination and depression between them.Methods:A sample of 397 depressive disorder adolescents were recruited to complete the adolescent non-suicidal self-injury behaviour questionnaire, ruminative responses scale (RRS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and Beck scale for suicide ideation-Chinese version(BSI-CV). All data processing and analysis were performed using SPSS 23.0.The mediating effect was tested by correlation analysis and Bootstrap analysis.Results:The non-suicidal self-injury score was (29.192±11.281), the rumination score was (65.036±12.284), the depression score was (75.770±11.278), and the suicidal ideation score was (40.681±11.626). Non-suicidal self-injury was significantly and positively correlated with suicidal ideation( r=0.403, P<0.01), rumination and depression( r=0.332, 0.470, both P<0.01). Rumination was significantly and positively correlated with depression and suicidal ideation( r=0.549, 0.181, both P<0.05). Depression was significantly and positively correlated with suicidal ideation( r=0.313, P<0.01). The direct effect value of non-suicidal self-injury on suicidal ideation was 0.341(95% CI=0.238-0.444), the indirect effect of non-suicidal self-injury on suicidal ideation through two pathways, the separate mediating effect value of depression was 0.057(95% CI=0.077-0.114), and the chain mediating effect value of rumination and depression was 0.026(95% CI=0.004-0.057). Conclusion:Non-suicidal self-injury can directly affect suicidal ideation of depressive disorder adolescents and indirectly through rumination and depression.

Effect of rumination on suicide attempts in adolescents with depressive disorder / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the relationship between rumination and depression and suicide attempts, and the mediating effect of rumination between depression and suicide attempts in adolescents with depressive disorder.Methods:Clinical interviews and questionnaires were conducted on 331 adolescents aged 11-18 with depressive disorders.Depressive symptoms were assessed with patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Rumination was assessed with ruminative responses scale-10 (RRS-10), and Chinese version of the sociality module of MINI5.0 was used to assess suicide.SPSS 23.0 software was applied to descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, t-test, Spearman correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis, and the SPSS macro program PROCESS V 3.4 was used for Bootstrap mediating effect. Results:The incidence of suicide attempts in adolescents with depressive disorder was 53.78%, which was significantly higher in girls (59.48%) than that in boys (40.40%), and the difference was significant ( χ2=10.16, P<0.01). In contrast to the non-suicide attempt group, suicide attempt group had higher scores on PHQ-9((11.08±9.26) vs (14.43±7.49), t=-3.634, P<0.01), brooding ((10.76±3.89) vs (12.44±3.87), t=-3.926, P<0.01), reflection ((10.05±3.54) vs (11.20±3.33), t=-3.044, P<0.01) and rumination total score ((20.81±6.78) vs (23.64±6.42), t=-3.898, P<0.01). Regression analysis revealed that girl ( β=0.175, t=3.228, P=0.001), depressive symptoms ( β=0.168, t=3.082, P=0.002), rumination ( β=0.138, t=2.364, P=0.019) were risk factors for suicide attempts.Rumination played a complete mediating effect between depressive symptoms and suicide attempts (effect value=0.013, 95% CI=0.003-0.027). Depression symptoms significantly and positively predicted rumination ( P<0.01), and rumination significantly and positively predicted suicide attempts ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of suicide attempts was high in adolescents with depressive disorders.Depressive symptoms affect suicide attempts mainly through rumination.Clinicians should assess the rumination of adolescents with depressive disorders.In addition, clinicians should implement concurrent psychotherapy to adjust the cognitive response and reduce rumination, in order to improve the mental health and reduce suicide attempts.

Relationship between emotional trauma and depression of college students: mediating effect of distress tolerance and rumination / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the relationship between emotional trauma and depressive symptoms.Methods:In November 2021, a total of 1 650 university students were assessed using scales including childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ), distress tolerance scale (DTS), rumination response scale (RRS) and the depression anxiety stress scale (DASS). SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data with Spearman correlation analysis, Mann-Whitney U test and mediation analysis. Results:The differences of DTS, RRS and DASS were significant between high and low trauma group(all P<0.01). Emotional trauma (16.70(6.09)) was negatively correlated with distress tolerance(10.95(2.15)) ( r=-0.26, P<0.01), and positively correlated with rumination(39.51(10.74)) and depression(4.93(5.76)) ( r=0.31, 0.38, both P<0.01). The testing of mediating effect indicated that emotional trauma had direct effect ( β=0.20, P<0.001) and indirect effect on depression through distress tolerance and rumination. Conclusion:Emotional trauma, distress tolerance and rumination are important factors influencing depression, and it could provide guidance for undergraduate psychological intervention of depression.

The mediating effect of rumination between posttraumatic growth and coping strategy among parents of children with acute leukemia / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of rumination between posttraumatic growth and coping strategy among parents of children with acute leukemia.Methods:Totally 238 parents of children with acute leukemia at Children ′s hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to October 2021 were recruited as research object by convenient sampling method. Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Runminative Responses Scale (RRS) and Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP) were investigated. Results:The scores of parents of children with acute leukemia in PTGI were (60.96 ± 11.81), RRS were (58.13 ± 13.40), CHIP were (106.60 ± 34.31). The demensions of PTGI in parents were positively correlated with the each demensions of CHIP ( r values were 0.256 to 0.478, all P<0.01); the RRS demensions were negatively correlated with the demensions of PTGI and CHIP ( r values were -0.566 to -0.236, P<0.01). Posttraumatic growth had a direct positive effect on coping strategy, the path coefficient was 0.082. Posttraumatic growth affects coping strategy through rumination, the indirect path coefficient was 0.797, the mediating effect accounts for 90.4% of the total effect. Rumination had a negative effect on coping strategy, the path coefficient was -0.954. Posttraumatic growth has a negative effect on rumination, the path coefficient was -0.835. Conclusions:Rumination plays a mediating role in the relationship between posttraumatic growth and coping strategy. Medical staff can alleviate the levels of rumination of parents of children with acute leukemia, so as to promote posttraumatic growth and coping strategy.
