ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of attentional bias of negative information between fatalism and death anxiety in lung neoplasms patients.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. It was convenient to select 312 lung neoplasms patients treated in the Department of Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital and Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University the Chinese People′s Liberation Army, from April 2021 to April 2022 as the research subjects. Questionnaires were conducted with Fatalism Scale, Attention to Negative Information Scale, and Templer′s Death Anxiety Scale. Structural equation model were constructed based on self-regulatory executive function models.Results:The total score of fatalism, attentional bias of negative information, and death anxiety of 312 lung neoplasms patients were (61.68 ± 11.92) points, (39.57 ± 5.19) points, and (61.23 ± 9.30) points, respectively. Attentional bias of negative information was significantly positively correlated with fatalism ( r = 0.594, P<0.01). Death anxiety was significantly positively correlated with fatalism and attentional bias of negative information ( r = 0.494, 0.558, both P<0.01). Attentional bias of negative information played a partial mediating role between fatalism and death anxiety, and the mediating effect accounted for 37.7% of the total effect. The value of each fitness index of the mediation effect model was within the acceptable range. Conclusions:Attentional bias of negative information is an intermediary variable between fatalism and death anxiety of lung neoplasms patients. Nursing staff should pay attention to the level of attentional bias of negative information of lung neoplasms patients and carry out targeted nursing interventions from the emotional processing process to reduce the level of death anxiety in patients with lung neoplasms.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the level of depression on interference suppression function in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods 15 CHD patients with major depression,21 CHD patients with mild depression and 24 CHD patients without depressive symptoms in the Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University from May 2013 to March 2015 were selected to complete the Emotional Stroop task and record their accuracy and reaction time according to the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disorders in China-Third Edition(CCMD-3).Results ① The reaction time was longer (F(2,57) =71.97,P＜0.01)and the accuracy was lower (F(2,57)=8.78,P=0.04) in CHD with major depression group and CHD with mild depression group compared with CHD group.② The reaction time of negative words ((872.77±348.47) ms,(796.53±200.92)ms) was longer than positive words ((809.22±343.45)ms,(740.85±177.82)ms) in CHD with major depression group and CHD with mild depression group.③ The interference effect of negative words was bigger in CHD with major depression group and CHD with mild depression group ((35.48±181.97)ms,(7.16±200.06)ms) compared with CHD group ((-19.86± 177.82)ms).Conclusion Both CHD patients with major depression and CHD patients with mild depression have deficits in interference inhibition for negative information,which suggests that CHD with depressive individuals have impaired cognitive control function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study military medical graduates' psychological elastic characteris-tics and the key influencing factors. Methods A comparative study of 817 graduate students and 597 undergraduate students in a military academy was conducted by using positive negative emotions, pos-itive and negative cognitive bias and Mental Resilience Scale. Independent sample t-test, single factor analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and step-wise regression analysis were conducted by SPSS 18.0 for data analysis. Results ①Resilience scores of postgraduate students were significantly lower than those of undergraduate students (76.01 ±11.43 vs. 80.00 ±10.26, t=-6.76, P<0.01). Resilience scores of military postgraduates were significantly higher than those of local postgraduates (77.18 ± 11.59 vs. 74.97±11.19, t=2.77, P<0.05). Resilience scores of female postgraduates were significantly lower than those of males (74.79 ±10.83 vs. 76.94 ±11.78, t=2.68, P<0.05), reflected in factors of tenacity and strength. ②Resilience and its factors were positively related to positive affect and atten-tion to positive information (r=0.448~0.625, P<0.01), while negatively related to negative affect and attention to negative information (r=-0.206~-0.448, P<0.01). ③Regression analysis showed that posi-tive and negative emotion, attention to positive and negative information can significantly predict re-silience, accounting for the variance of 53.7%. ④Positive and negative affect partially mediated the relationship between attention to positive information and positive affect and resilience. Conclusion Attention to positive information and positive affect may be potential targets for intervention to enhance the level of resilience among military medical postgraduate students.
