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.

Mediating role of rumination in the relationship between expectation gap of social support and postpartum depression in primiparae / 中国实用护理杂志

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Psychometric properties and factor structure of the Repetitive Thinking Questionnaire: Persian versions of the RTQ-31 and RTQ-10

Abstract Introduction: Repetitive thinking as a transdiagnostic factor plays an essential role in the development and maintenance of emotional disorders. Two versions of the Repetitive Thinking Questionnaire (RTQ-31 and RTQ-10) are the best-known measures used for assessing repetitive thinking in clinical and non-clinical samples. The present study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties and factor structure of Persian versions of them. Methods: Participants were 592 students assessed with the RTQ-31, the RTQ-10, the Ruminative Response Scale, the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire, the Beck Depression Inventory-second edition, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to determine construct validity. Results: The findings showed that the RTQ-31 and the RTQ-10 demonstrated excellent internal consistency and good test-retest reliability (α = 0.946: r = 0.844) and (α = 0.903: r = 0.776) respectively. Also, five items from the original version were omitted due to inadequate factor loadings. This study showed that the resulting 26-item version has a two-factor structure, while the short version has a one-dimensional structure. Finally, it was found that repetitive thinking has a positive and powerful relationship with other measures of rumination and with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Conclusion: Persian versions of the RTQ have good factor structures and psychometric properties and can be used in clinical populations and related studies.

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.

Feeding behavior of lambs fed diets containing old man saltbush hay / Comportamiento ingestivo de corderos alimentados con dietas conteniendo heno de hierba-sal / Comportamento ingestivo de cordeiros alimentados com dietas contendo feno de erva-sal

Abstract Background: We hypothesized that a diet with old man saltbush hay used as an alternative source of nutrients could partially replace the concentrate in the feeding of feedlot lambs. Objective: This study evaluated the behavior and performance of lambs fed diets containing increasing levels of old man saltbush hay plus concentrate. Methods: Twenty-four castrated Santa Inês lambs at approximately eight months of age (22 ± 1.97 kg) were confined in a randomized complete design and fed diets containing 30, 40, 50, and 60% (dry matter: DM) of old man saltbush hay. Results: The intake of DM and neutral detergent fiber was not affected (p>0.05) by the level of old man saltbush hay. Intake of mineral salt decreased (p<0.01) as the proportion of old man saltbush in the diet increased. Weight gain (kg) and feed efficiency worsened (p<0.05) with 40% inclusion of old man salt bush hay. The time spent on feeding and chewing increased (p<0.05), while idle time was reduced (p<0.01) with dietary inclusion of old man saltbush. Feed efficiency decreased (p<0.05) with the inclusion of old man saltbush. Conclusion: Dietary inclusion of old man saltbush affects the feeding behavior and performance of lambs in feedlot.

Resumen Antecedentes: Nuestra hipótesis consistió en que una dieta con heno de hierba-sal como fuente alternativa de nutrientes puede sustituir parcialmente el concentrado en la alimentación de corderos confinados. Objetivo: Evaluar el comportamiento ingestivo de corderos alimentados con dietas conteniendo niveles incrementales de heno de hierba-sal asociado al concentrado. Métodos: Veinticuatro corderos Santa Inés, castrados, con aproximadamente ocho meses de edad, peso corporal de 22 ± 1,97 kg, confinados, fueron distribuidos en un arreglo experimental completamente aleatorizado y alimentados con dietas conteniendo 30, 40, 50 y 60% (materia seca: MS) de heno de hierba-sal. Resultados: El consumo de MS y fibra detergente neutra no se vió afectado (p>0,05) por los diferentes niveles de inclusión de hierba-sal. La ingestión de sal mineral se redujo (p<0,01) al incrementar la hierba-sal en la dieta. La ganancia de peso (kg) y la eficiencia alimenticia empeoraron (p<0,05) con la inclusión de 40% de heno de hierba-sal. El tiempo empleado para las actividades de alimentación y masticación aumentó (p<0,05), mientras que el de ocio se redujo (p<0,01) con la inclusión de hierba-sal. La eficiencia alimenticia de la materia seca disminuyó (p<0,05) a medida que aumentó el nivel de inclusión de heno de hierba-sal. Conclusión: La inclusión de heno de hierba-sal en la dieta afecta el comportamiento ingestivo y el rendimiento de corderos confinados.

Resumo Antecedentes: A hipótese foi que uma dieta com o feno de erva-sal como fonte alternativa de nutrientes poderia substituir parcialmente o concentrado na alimentação de cordeiros confinados. Objetivo: Este estudo foi desenvolvido para avaliar o comportamento ingestivo de cordeiros alimentados com dietas contendo feno de erva-sal associado com o concentrado. Métodos: Vinte e quatro cordeiros Santa Inês, castrados, com aproximadamente oito meses de idade, peso corporal de 22 ± 1,97 kg, confinados, foram distribuídos em um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado e alimentados com dietas contendo 30, 40, 50 e 60% (matéria seca (MS)) de feno de erva-sal. Resultados: O consumo de matéria seca e fibra em detergente neutro não foram comprometidos (p>0,05) pelos diferentes níveis de erva-sal. A ingestão de sal mineral reduziu (p<0,01) com o aumento de erva sal nas dietas. O ganho de peso e a eficiência alimentar pioraram (p<0,05) a partir da inclusão de 40% de feno de erva-sal na dieta dos cordeiros. O tempo despendido para as atividades de alimentação e mastigação aumentaram (p<0,05), enquanto que o de ócio reduziu (p<0,01) com a inclusão da erva sal nas dietas. A eficiência de alimentação da matéria seca diminuiu (p<0,05) à medida que se incluiu o feno de erva-sal. Conclusão: A inclusão de feno de erva-sal na dieta afeta o comportamento ingestivo eo desempenho de cordeiros confinados.

Effectiveness Of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in managing Rumination And Insomnia among adolescent girls

Background: The present study attempts to study the effectiveness of cognitive behaviour therapy in managing rumination and insomnia among adolescent girls from the Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore. Methodology: 200 students from undergraduates were screened for their level of Rumination and Insomnia using Ruminative Response Scale and Insomnia Inventory. Out of 200, 120 students with high and average level of Rumination and Insomnia were selected using random sampling technique. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy was given to manage Rumination and reduce Insomnia for the adolescent girls. Results: The age range is 17 to 18 years. Pearson correlation, mean and standard deviation and ‘t’ test was computed to analyse the data. The results indicate that there was a positive correlation between rumination and insomnia and significant difference in managing rumination and insomnia among the adolescent girls proving the effectiveness of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Conclusion: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is an effective therapy for the management of insomnia and rumination in adolescent girls and further studies in this area are needed.

Crecimiento postraumático y variables psicosociales en víctimas de violencia política / Posttraumatic growth and psychosocial variables among victims of political violence

Resumen Antecedentes: la dictadura militar chilena (1973-1990) dejó miles de víctimas entre afectados directos y familiares, quienes pudieron desarrollar diversas secuelas en su salud mental. Objetivos: el presente estudio buscó evaluar un modelo predictivo de crecimiento postraumático (CPT) que incluía la ideología política, el afrontamiento religioso y la rumiación, en víctimas de la violencia política durante la dictadura. Método: participaron 200 personas adultas reconocidas en el Programa de Reparación y Atención Integral de Salud (PRAIS), encargada de brindar apoyo a las víctimas directas de violaciones a los derechos humanos durante la dictadura, y a sus familiares. De ellos 104 son mujeres (52%) y 96 hombres (48%), en un rango de edad entre los 30 y 91 años. Se utilizaron como instrumentos el Inventario de Crecimiento Postraumático, la Escala Breve de Afrontamiento Religioso, la Escala de Rumiación relacionada con el Evento y la Escala de Ideología Política. Resultados: los principales resultados indicaron que el afrontamiento religioso positivo y la rumiación deliberada predijeron el CPT. La rumiación deliberada media parcialmente entre el afrontamiento religioso positivo y el CPT. Conclusión: se concluye que el afrontamiento religioso positivo y el procesamiento cognitivo deliberado favorecen los cambios positivos en víctimas directas de la violencia política y sus familiares. Ante esto, se refuerza la idea que las víctimas de estas violaciones logran crecer después de estas experiencias dolorosas.

Abstract Background: The Chilean military dictatorship (1973-1990) left thousands of victims among those directly affected and their families, who were able to develop various mental health sequelae. Objective: The present study sought to evaluate a predictive model of posttraumatic growth (PTG) that included political ideology, religious coping and rumination in victims of political violence during the dictatorship. Method: The study involved 200 adults recognised in the Programme for Reparation and Integral Health Care (PRAIS), which is responsible for providing support to direct victims of human rights violations and their family members during the dictatorship. Out of these, 104 were women (52%) and 96 were men (48%) ranging in age from 30 to 91 years. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Brief Religious Coping Scale, the Event-Related Rumination Scale and the Political Ideology Scale were used as instruments. Results: The main results indicated that positive religious coping and deliberate rumination predicted PTG. Deliberate rumination partially mediates between positive religious coping and PTG. Conclusion: It is concluded that positive religious coping and deliberate cognitive processing favour positive change in those directly affected by political violence and their family members. This reinforces the idea that victims of these violations manage to grow after these painful experiences.

The chain mediating effect of depression and rumination between negative life events and non-suicidal self-injury among vocational school students / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of depression and rumination between negative life events and non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI).Methods:Adolescents self-harm scale was used to investigate 1 000 students in a vocational school of Guizhou Province. A total of 333 vocational students with NSSI were screened through, and further investigated by adolescent self-rating life events check list (ASLEC), the center for epidemiological studies depression scale (CES-D), and ruminative Response Scale (RRS). SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 8.1 software were used for data analysis, and the bias corrected percentile Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results:(1)The scores for negative life events, depression, rumination and NSSI were 67.00 (54.00, 79.00), 47.00 (39.00, 53.50), 64.00 (54.00, 76.00) and 7.00 (2.00, 10.00) respectively.(2)Negative life events were positively correlated with depression ( r=0.29, P<0.01), rumination ( r=0.40, P<0.01), and NSSI ( r=0.18, P<0.01). (3)The mediating effect size of depression between negative life events and NSSI was 0.07, accounting for 38.89% of the total indirect effect.The mediating effect size of rumination between negative life events and NSSI was 0.06, accounting for 33.33% of the total indirect effect.The chain mediating effect of depression and rumination between negative life events and NSSI was 0.05, accounting for 27.78% of the total indirect effect. Conclusion:Negative life events can indirectly affect NSSI of vocational education students through depression and rumination, as well as the chain mediating path.

Eating Disorders in Adolescents - Physical and Psychiatric Perspectives

@#Eating disorder (ED) referrals of school age children and adolescents, by their parents and school teachers, have become more common. Also, they are now presenting at an earlier age to the primary health care and school systems, with physical, medical and psychological symptoms. Nevertheless, there is an average of six months to two years between the onset of symptoms to formal assessment and treatment by specialist team. There are also more cases presenting to ED specialist clinic services, especially pre-pubertal children, with early onset and presentation before 14 years old. Mid and late adolescent presentations (after 14 years old) continue to make up more than two third of the cases. More than 60 percent of cases seen in specialist clinics are of the restrictive type anorexia nervosa, and often associated with persistent and excessive exercise. Thirty percent of cases presented are Bulimia nervosa, which tend to be episodic. Majority of single episode bulimia cases do not present themselves early to medical services but take on open source self-directed management. For patients with bulimia who comply to treatment program and recover after 6-12 months of therapy, they can also experience high relapse rate as they often discontinue their follow up. Avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder is more closely related to pre-pubertal onset eating disorder with arrested sexual maturity and growth failure, if left untreated. Psychiatric co-morbidities arising from body image disturbance, overdrive high achievement needs, prior exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACE), dysfunctional family or peer relationships, include anxiety, avoidance behavior, obsessive rumination, depression, suicidal ideation and attempt. Death can arise from acute presentation and chronic state of ED, when associated with medical complications from refeeding syndrome, severe malnourishment, accidents and suicide. Early identification and assessment by family physicians would significantly improve the prognosis and mitigate against long term chronicity when share care with ED specialist services.
