ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the relationship between self-disclosure, self-efficacy and medical coping modes in adolescent depression, and explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy between self-disclosure and medical coping modes.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method, a total of 403 adolescents with depression in a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Beijing were recruited from March 2020 to March 2021. The data of general information questionnaire, distress disclosure index scale, medical coping modes questionnaire and general self-efficacy scale were collected.SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the correlation between self-disclosure, self-efficacy and medical coping modes of adolescent patients with depression, and Stata 13.1 software was used to analyze the mediating effect of self-efficacy between self-disclosure and medical coping modes.Results:The scores of dimension of the medical coping modes of adolescent depression patients were(16.90±3.84) for facing, (16.34±2.88) for yielding, (12.48±4.31) for avoiding, (30.47±9.91) for self-disclosure and (19.63±6.54) for self-efficacy, respectively. Self-disclosure and self-efficacy were positively correlated with facing of medical coping modes ( r=0.301, 0.327, both P<0.01), and negatively correlated with yielding of medical coping modes ( r=-0.465, -0.487, both P<0.01). Self-disclosure was negatively correlated with avoidance of medical coping modes ( r=-0.118, P=0.018). The direct effect of self-efficacy on medical coping modes was 0.103, and the total effect was 0.365, and the mediating effect accounted for 28.22%. Conclusion:Self-efficacy partially mediates between self-disclosure and medical coping modes in adolescents with depression.
