Objective:To explore the relationship between core competence, emotional intelligence and depression of nurses.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 505 clinical nurses by general data questionnaire, competency inventory for registered nurse, emotional intelligence scale and the primary care evaluation of mental disorders from December 2020 to February 2021.SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and the correlation was obtained by Pearson correlation analysis, and Model 4 in PROCESS V3.4.1 macro program was used to test the mediating effects.Results:The depression score of nurses was(12.42±5.83), and significant differences were found in depression scores at various levels of gender, marital status, and conscious nurse-patient relationship ( F/ t=3.060, 2.678, 3.210, all P<0.05). Core competencies(149.72±54.87) had a positive correlation with emotional intelligence(82.42±15.62)( r=0.967, P<0.01), and depression scores had a negative correlation with core competencies and emotional intelligence ( r=-0.931, -0.928, both P<0.01). The depression level was negatively predicted by core competence of nurses ( β=-0.528, P<0.01). The capabilities of assessing and expressing their own emotions, identifying and assessing others' emotions and managing their own emotions played partial mediating roles, and the effect size were 49.257%(-0.199/-0.404), 16.089%(-0.065/-0.404) and 27.228%(-0.110/-0.404), respectively. Conclusion:Nurses' core competence is a primary factor influencing their depression levels, with emotional intelligence playing a partial mediating role.In addition, nurses' depression level can be reduced by improving the core competence and emotional intelligence of nurses.

BackgroundThe prevalence of depressive disorder in adolescents is on the rise. There have been studies on the pairwise relations between dysfunctional attitude， negative automatic thoughts， positive coping style and depressive symptoms in the past. However， the impact of the intrinsic relations among dysfunctional attitude， negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style on depressive symptoms is still unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the influence of dysfunctional attitude on adolescent depressive symptoms and examine the action path of negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style on it， in order to provide references for intervention for adolescent patients with depressisve disorder. MethodsThis study involved 162 adolescent patients with depressive disorder， who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive episodes in the International Classification of Diseases， 10th edition （ICD-10） and received treatment in Taiyuan Psychiatric Hospital from October 1， 2022 to October 31， 2023. These patients were evaluated using Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）， Dysfunction Attitude Scale （DAS）， Positive Coping Style Subscale in Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire（SCSQ） and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire （ATQ）. Pearson correlation analysis was adopted to examine the correlation among scores of scales above. Model 6 in Process 3.4.1 was adopted to test the acting path of negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style between dysfunctional attitude and adolescent depression symptoms. ResultsA total of 148 adolescent patients with depressive disorder completed an effective questionnaire survey， with a response rate of 91.36%. The direct effect value of dysfunctional attitude on depressive symptoms was 0.423 and the effect size was 63.32%. Negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style affected as acting path between dysfunctional attitude and depressive symptoms， with effect values of 0.156 （accounting for 23.35% of the total effect） and 0.045 （accounting for 6.74% of the total effect） respectively. Meanwhile， negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style affected as a chain reaction pathway between dysfunctional attitude and depressive symptoms， with an effect value of 0.044， accounting for 6.59% of the total effect. ConclusionDysfunctional attitude can not only directly affect the depressive symptoms of adolescent patients with depressive disorder， but also affect the depressive symptoms of adolescent patients with depressive disorder through the independent path or chain path of negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style.

Background Under the backdrop of the national innovation-driven development strategy, the increasing occupational stress and job burnout among employees are noteworthy for their impact on employees' subjective well-being. Objective To clarify the status, distribution characteristics, and the relationship between subjective well-being, occupational stress, and job burnout of employees in research and development (R&D) enterprises, in order to improve their subjective well-being. Methods A total of 3366 employees from R&D departments at 7 enterprises in Minhang District of Shanghai were selected. The well-being level of the research subjects was investigated by using the World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) that yielded total scores from 0 to 25, and a higher total score indicated a higher well-being level; the levels of occupational stress and job burnout were investigated by using the Chinese version of the Job Content Questionnaire, and the Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS). The scores of WHO-5, JDC, and MBI-GS were incorporated into structural equation modeling (SEM) as numerical variables to analyze their relationship. Results The scores of subjective well-being, occupational stress, and job burnout of employees in the R&D enterprises were 13.30±6.09, 1.12±0.45, and 2.18±1.12, respectively. The positive rates of occupational stress and job burnout were 44.4% and 70.9% respectively, and the positive rate of severe job burnout was 11.7%. There were statistically significant differences in the score of subjective well-being among the participants by gender, age, educational level, marital status, registered residence, working seniority, and jobs (P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences in the positive rate of occupational stress by gender, educational level, marital status, working seniority, and jobs (P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences in the positive rate of job burnout by gender, age, educational level, marital status, registered residence, working seniority, and jobs (P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between subjective well-being and occupational stress (r=−0.1747, P < 0.01), a negative correlation between subjective well-being and job burnout (r=−0.2987, P < 0.01), and a positive correlation between occupational stress and job burnout (r=0.3342, P < 0.01). A structural equation containing partial mediating effect of job burnout on the relationship between occupational stress and subjective well-being was established, and the partial effect accounting for 52.5% of the total effect. Conclusion The job burnout among employees in R&D companies partially mediates the impact of occupational stress on subjective well-being. Reducing the level of job burnout will help alleviate occupational stress and thus improve employees' subjective well-being.

Background Job burnout has become an important factor affecting the mental and physical health and work efficiency of college counselors, and indirectly affects the quality and development of talent cultivation for college students. Objective To explore the relationship between job stress, job crafting, and job burnout among college counselors, and to test the mediating role of job crafting between job stress and job burnout, in order to take targeted measures to alleviate job stress and job burnout of college counselors, reduce associated health risks, and improve the effectiveness of higher education. Methods An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among 400 counselors from social network communication groups by convenience sampling. The Counselor Work Stress Scale, Job Crafting Scale, and Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey were used. Harman's single-factor method was used to evaluate common method bias in the survey data. One-way ANOVA was applied to test the difference in job stress, job crafting, and job burnout among college counselors by demographic characteristics, and chi-square test was used to analyze the difference in reporting job burnout. Partial correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between selected variables. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the relationship of job stress, job crafting, and job burnout among college counselors, and Bootstrap analysis was used to test if there was a mediating effect of job crafting on the relationship between job stress and job burnout. Results Of the 390 questionnaires recovered, there were 338 valid questionnaires (86.67%). Among the included subjects, the mean scores of job stress, job crafting, and job burnout were (2.70±0.62), (3.77±0.62), and (2.09±1.09), respectively. The positive rate of job burnout was 76.9% (260/338), with a positive rate of 72.8% in exhaustion dimension and 59.8% in cynicism dimension. There were significant differences in job crafting scores among the college counselors by different genders and professional titles (P<0.05). Female counselors had significantly higher job burnout scores and positive rates than male counselors (P<0.05). The partial correlation analysis showed that job stress, work load, school evaluation and expectation, and interpersonal relationship were positively correlated with job burnout (r=0.562, 0.442, 0.473, and 0.455, respectively, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with job crafting (r=−0.271, −0.169, −0.246, and −0.247, respectively, P<0.01); job crafting, cognitive crafting, relationship crafting, and task crafting were negatively correlated with job burnout (r=−0.447, −0.452, −0.366, and −0.340, respectively, P<0.01). The modified structural equation modeling indicated that job stress negatively affected job crafting (b=−0.348, P<0.001) and positively affected job burnout (b=0.454, P<0.001); job crafting negatively affected job burnout (b=−0.459, P<0.001), and played a partial mediating role in the relationship between job stress and job burnout, and the effect value was 0.160 (95%CI: 0.102, 0.230) that accounted for 26.10% of the total effect. Conclusion Job burnout among the college counselors is prominent. Job crafting presents an inhibitory effect on job burnout. Job stress indirectly affects the occurrence of job burnout by inhibiting the generation of job crafting.

Background The mental health status of prison officers is crucial to the efficiency, security, and stability of a prison, and it is essential to pay attention to the factors that influence their mental health. Objective To understand the mental health status of prison officers, and analyze how nature exposure affects their mental health problems and a potential mediating role of mental fatigue. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out from May to June 2022 among 1392 prison officers from eight prisons in a province, and a total of 1284 valid questionnaires were recovered. The Nature Exposure Scale, Mental Fatigue Scale, and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale were used to assess nature exposure, mental fatigue, and mental health indicators among prison officers, and to explore the effect of nature exposure on mental health problems and a potential mediating role of mental fatigue. Results The recruited prison officers showed high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. The prevalence rates of depression, anxiety, and stress were 59.11% (759/1284), 60.67% (779/1284),and 43.93% (564/1284), respectively. The results of correlation analysis revealed that nature exposure was negatively related with mental fatigue and mental health indicators (depression, anxiety, and stress) (rs=−0.242, −0.308, −0.235, −0.254, P<0.01), while mental fatigue was positively correlated with mental health indicators (depression, anxiety, and stress) (rs=0.546, 0.533, 0.536, P<0.01). The PROCESS macro results showed that the level of nature exposure among prison officers negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress (β=−0.180, −0.104, −0.123), and mental fatigue played a mediating role, with indirect effects of −0.200, −0.192, and −0.199, respectively. Conclusion The levels of depression, anxiety, and stress of prison officers are higher than those of other occupations. Nature exposure negatively associates with depression, anxiety, and stress, that is, it may directly alleviate the mental health problems of prison officers; and it may also alleviate mental health problems by relieving mental fatigue.

Background The correlation between noise exposure and negative emotions of noise-exposed workers has received increasing attention and related studies have been reported. However, there is a lack of research on the path and effect analysis of the relationship between noise exposure and negative emotions, which will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the health damage characteristics of noise in addition to hearing loss. Objective To explore the path and effects of cumulative noise exposure, tested hearing thresholds, and conscious hearing level of noise-exposed workers on negative emotions. Methods Using stratified random sampling, 312 noise-exposed workers from a machinery and equipment manufacturing enterprise were selected. Occupational history, negative emotions (including the feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression), and conscious hearing level of the workers were investigated using the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21) and a self-made questionnaire. The hearing threshold of the workers was measured by pure tone air conduction audiometry. Sound level meter was used to measure noise equivalent sound level at selected work sites. Individual cumulative noise exposure was estimated based on work site noise level and personal noise exposure history. Path analysis was used to analyze potential mediating effects of workers' hearing thresholds and conscious hearing levels on the relationship between noise exposure and negative emotions (including stress, anxiety, and depression). Results The positive rates of negative emotions among the 312 noise-exposed workers were 18.27% (57/312) for stress, 46.79% (146/312) for anxiety, and 28.53% (89/312) for depression; the cumulative noise exposure ranged from 101.0 to 136.1 dB(A)·d, with an average of 125.69 dB(A)·d. The distributions of tested hearing thresholds and conscious hearing levels among the workers exposed to noise were significantly inconsistent (P<0.001), with both unweighted and weighted Kappa values less than 0.4. The percentage of workers with conscious hearing levels higher than their hearing threshold levels was 16.0%, and the percentage of workers with conscious hearing levels lower than conscious hearing levels was 38.7%. The path analysis results showed that tested hearing thresholds had no mediating effect on the relationship between cumulative noise exposure and negative emotions. There was a partial mediating effect of conscious hearing level on the relationship between cumulative noise exposure and negative emotions, with a mediating effect value of 0.06 (95%CI: 0.03, 0.11) and a mediating effect ratio of 28.57%. Conclusion Conscious hearing plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between cumulative noise exposure and negative emotions of noise-exposed workers, while tested hearing thresholds do not.

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.

Objective:To examine the association between working hours and urinary sodium and potassium excretion levels in a population undergoing health examinations and the potential mediating effect of timely eating behaviors.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 64 400 people who received health checkups from August 2017 to August 2022 at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were recruited as study subjects. General information on socio-demographic characteristics of the enrolled subjects were collected using the health checkup self-assessment questionnaire in the Expert Consensus on Basic Items for Health Checkups. Urinary excretion levels of sodium and potassium were measured with the Kawasaki method. The association between working hours and urinary sodium and potassium excretion levels was checked by using Pearson′s correlation analysis. The relationships between timely eating behaviors, working hours, and urinary sodium and potassium excretion levels and their ratios were analyzed using logistic regression and linear regression models, while the mediating mechanisms involved was also examined.Results:Among the 64 400 subjects, there were 39 274 males (60.98%) and 25 126 females (39.02%), the mean age was (43.80±11.13) years. There were 16 980 individuals (26.37%) with an average working time exceeding 8 hours per day. Additionally, 4 332 subjects (6.73%) were unable to eat three meals on time. The mean urinary sodium and potassium excretion and their ratios were (4.12±1.86) g/d, (2.06±0.80) g/d, 2.05±0.66, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between working hours and urinary sodium excretion, urinary potassium excretion, and their ratios ( r=0.034, 0.021, 0.032, respectivley); it showed that timely eating behavior had a significant negative correlation with urinary sodium and potassium excretion ( r=-0.022, -0.019, respectivley) (all P<0.001). There was a partial mediating effect of timely eating behavior in the association between working hours and urinary sodium excretion (effect value of -0.006), and after stratifying the labor intensity, this mediating effect was only found among individuals engaged in light physical labor (both P<0.001). Conclusions:Prolonged working hours leads to increased levels of urinary sodium and urinary potassium excretion, and timely eating behavior facilitates salt/sodium reduction in light-duty workers.
Résumé
Objective:To analyze the mediating effects of emotional changes in self-management interventions on the relationship between behavioral management and quality of life in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes and therefore to provide a reference for improving the emotional status of elderly diabetes patients and future community-based self-management interventions.Methods:From 2016 to 2020, a total of 69 self-management groups were formed in Hangzhou, each consisting of 10-15 patients with type 2 diabetes.Based on the construction of a medical consortium and family doctors signing up to provide services, intervention teams were established to conduct a series of group self-management activities for each group.Surveys via questionnaires were conducted before and after the intervention, as well as 6 months after the intervention, to collect patient data on demographics, disease status, emotions, quality of life, and self-management behaviors.The intervention effects were evaluated, and the correlations between emotional changes, self-management behaviors, and changes in quality of life were analyzed.Bootstrap analysis was used to test the mediating effects.Results:A total of 707 elderly diabetes patients were included.There were statistically significant differences in the scores of the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS), the Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS), physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, mental health, physical component summary, mental component summary, the dietary control dimension of the type 2 diabetes self-care scale(2-DSCS), regular exercise, medication adherence, blood glucose monitoring, foot care, the dimension of prevention and management of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, and the total score of 2-DSCS( P<0.05 for all).Compared with pre-intervention, changes in SAS, SDS, physical component summary and mental component summary scores were all correlated with each dimension of 2-DSCS right after intervention and 6 months after intervention( r=-0.336-0.333, P<0.05), with the exception of changes in the blood glucose monitoring dimension score and changes in the emotional status score.The direct effect of self-management behavior on the quality of life in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes was 0.159, and the indirect effect through emotions was 0.229, with the mediating effect accounting for 59.02% of the total effect. Conclusions:Community-based group self-management activities can effectively improve the emotions and management behaviors of elderly diabetes patients and enhance their quality of life, Emotional changes play a certain mediating role between self-management behaviors and improvement in quality of life.
