Current status and influencing factors of regulatory emotional self-efficacy among graduate students of medical college / 中国职业医学

OBJECTIVE: To explore the current status and influencing factors of regulatory emotional self-efficacy(RESE) among graduate students of medical college. METHODS: A cluster sampling method was used to select 3 225 postgraduates in class of 2015 and 2016 from a medical college as research subjects. A RESE survey was conducted using the Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale. RESULTS: The score of RESE was 66.8±7.6. The score of perceived self-efficiency in expressing emotion was 25.7±3.0. The score of perceived self-efficiency in managing negative emotion was 41.1±6.0. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the RESE scores of the first grade graduates were higher than those of the second-grade. The RESE scores of students whose mothers′ educational level above primary school were higher than those with their mothers′ educational level being illiteracy and below primary school. The RESE scores of those being more optimistic about job prospects were higher than those being less optimistic about job prospects. The RESE scores of those with large amount of exercise were higher than those with small amount of exercise. The partial regression coefficients were-0.65, 1.03, 4.33 and 1.87(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The level of RESE in medical college graduate students is high. The grades of medical graduates, attitudes toward employment prospects, physical exercise and mother′s educational level are the influencing factors of their RESE.

Mediating role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy between psychological quality and depression in graduate students of military medical college / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To explore the mediating role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy between psychological quality and depression in graduate students of military medical college. Methods A cluster sampling survey was conducted among 485 military medical college graduate students using psychological quality questionnaire for medical master (PQQMM),regulatory emotional self-efficacy scale (RESES) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 19.0 software. Results Total score of psychological quality and scores of 3 dimensions, including cognition, adaptability and personality, were significantly positively correlated with the score of expressing positive emotional self-efficacy (r=0.74, 0.57, 0.41, and 0.67; all P<0.01) and managing negative emotional self-efficacy (r=0.78, 0.65, 0.37, and 0.64; all P<0.01). The scores of psychological quality and regulatory emotional self-efficacy were significantly negatively correlated with depression (psychological quality and 3 dimensions: r=-0.78, -0.54, -0.50, and -0.62, all P<0.01; expressing positive emotional self-efficacy: r=-0.60, P<0.01; and managing negative emotional self-efficacy: r=-0.65, P<0.01). The military medical college graduate students having high regulatory emotional self-efficacy level had significantly higher score of psychological quality and significantly lower score of depression compared with the students having low regulatory emotional self-efficacy level (t=14.71, -9.43; both P<0.01). Expressing positive emotional selfefficacy had partial mediating effect between 3 dimensions of psychological quality and depression, and the proportions of total effect were 22.38%, 6.25% and 24.75%. Managing negative emotional self-efficacy had partial mediating effect between 3 dimensions of psychological quality and depression, and the proportions of total effect were 24.80%, 13.50% and 24.54%. Conclusion Regulatory emotional self-efficacy has partial mediating effect between psychological quality and depression in military medical college graduate students.

Study on Self-Esteem and Emotion Regulation Self-Efficacy and the Influencing Factors among Middle School Students / 中国医学伦理学

Objective:To investigate the current status of emotion regulation self-efficacy and self-esteem,to explore the influencing factors and the correlation among middle school students,thus to provide reference for mental health education to schools.Methods:A sample of 995 junior middle school students was selected from 2 middle schools in Yanta District,Xi'an City.A questionnaire survey was conducted using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Emotion Regulation Self-Efficacy Scale.Data was analyzed using SPSS 22.0 software.Results:Both self-esteem (29.2 ± 4.7) and emotional regulation self-efficacy (44.1 ± 8.8) were at the medium level.The influence factors of self-esteem included academic performance,mother's education level,whether parents quarrel,and personality type (P ＜ 0.05),while the influencing factors of self-efficacy included academic performance,mother's education level,whether parents quarrel,and personality type,study and living type (P ＜0.05).Self-esteem and emotion regulation self-efficacy was positively correlated (r =0.412,P ＜0.05).Conclusion:The overall level of self-esteem and emotion regulation self-efficacy of middle school students is not high.Academic performance,mother's educational level,whether parents quarrel,personality type affect self-esteem and emotion regulation self-efficacy at the same time,which should not been ignored in mental health education.

Mediating effect of regulatory emotional self-efficacy between nurses' mindfulness and anxiety / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To explore the mediating effect of the regulatory emotional self-efficacy be-tween mindfulness and the level of anxiety in nurses. Methods A total of 1 124 clinical nurses were meas-ured with five facet mindfulness questionaire(FFMQ),regulatory emotional self-efficacy scale(RES),and Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS). Results The scores of mindfulness,regulatory emotional self-efficacy and anxiety were(118.75±10.70),(42.29±6.40)and(45.93±10.00)respectively.Mindfulness was positively correlated with the regulatory emotional self-efficacy(r=0.351,P<0.01)while negatively correlated with nur-ses' anxiety(r=-0.249,P<0.01).The regulatory emotional self-efficacy was negatively correlated with nur-ses' anxiety(r=-0.264,P<0.01).The regulatory emotional self-efficacy played a partial mediating role be-tween mindfulness and nurses' anxiety,which could explain 28.2% of the total effect.Conclusion The reg-ulatory emotional self-efficacy is a partial mediator between mindfulness and nurses' anxiety.

Mediating role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy between childhood abuse and depression in college students / 中国心理卫生杂志

Objective:To examine the relationship between regulatory emotional self-efficacy and childhood abuse,and the mediating role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy between childhood abuse and depression in col-lege students.Methods:Totally 475 college students from 4 universities in Harbin were assessed with the Chinese version of the Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (RES),Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ),and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).The survey of CTQ was manipula-ted retrospectively.Results:Physical neglect and physical abuse had significant direct negative effects on perceived self-efficacy in expressing positive affect (POS)(β=-0.38,-0.52).Emotional neglect and sexual abuse had significant direct negative effects on perceived self-efficacy in managing despondency/distress (DES)(β=-0.35,-0.31).Physical neglect had a significant direct negative effect on perceived self-efficacy in managing anger/irri-tation (ANG)(β=-0.23).Physical neglect and physical abuse had significant direct positive effects on depres-sion (β=0.78,3.20).The POS mediated relationships between emotional neglect and depression,physical neglectand depression,and sexual abuse and depression (with intermediary effects of 0.021 -0.029).The DES imposed mediating effects on relationships between emotional neglect and depression,physical neglect and depression,physi-cal abuse and depression,and sexual abuse and depression (with intermediary effect of 0.017 -0.040).The ANG was a mediator in the relationships between emotional neglect and depression,and physical neglect and depression (with intermediary effects of 0.016 -0.019).Conclusion:It suggests that childhood abuse may be an important factor related to low regulatory emotional self-efficacy.Regulatory emotional self-efficacy may play a mediating role between childhood abuse and depression.
