RESUMO
Objective To explore the relationship among psychological flexibility,coping style and job burnout of nurses.Methods A total of 694 nurses from one district level grade A tertiary general hospital in Yunnan were assessed using acceptance and action questionnaire 2nd edition (AAQ-Ⅱ),simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ) and nursing burnout scale (NBS).The relationship among psychological flexibility,coping style and job burnout of nurses was analyzed using structural equation model and Bootstrap test.Results (1) Correlation analysis showed that the total scores of AAQ-Ⅱ (21.81 ± 8.23),job burnout (22.71 ± 6.60) and its three dimensions including emotional exhaustion (8.93 ± 2.87),depersonalization (6.64±2.30)as well as reduced personal accomplishment(7.14±2.52) were positively correlated with negative coping dimension of coping style (10.86±4.99) (r=0.324-0.510,all P＜0.01),while negatively correlated with positive coping dimension(26.44±5.86) (r=-0.102--0.143,all P＜0.01).(2) Structural equation model analysis showed that positive and negative coping dimension had partial mediating effects on the relationship between psychological flexibility and job burnout (x2/df=2.30,GFI =0.91,AGFI =0.90,NFI=0.90,IFI=0.93,TLI=0.92,CFI=0.93,RMSEA=0.04).(3) Bootstrap test showed that the mediating effect sizes for positive and negative coping were 3.8％ and 8.9％ respectively and totally mediating effect size of coping style was 12.7％.Psychological flexibility had much larger effects on job burnout,and the direct effect size was 87.3％.Conclusion Coping style plays a mediating role in the relationship between psychological flexibility and job burnout,but its effect is less important.Psychological flexibility plays a major role and more directly influences on job burnout.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the mechanism of parents' psychological flexibility and marriage quality on children's behavioral problems and to provide theoretical basis for the use of the acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT) to intervene children's behavioral problems.Methods Acceptance and action questionnaire-second edition(AAQ-Ⅱ),the cognitive fusion questionnaire (CFQ),the child behavior rating scale (CBRS),evaluating & nurturing relationship issues,communication,happiness (ENRICH) were used to investigate the parents of 310 pupils.Results (1) There were significant differences between father and mother in the total score of marriage(father(120.59±18.25) vs mother(129.65±21.61),P＜0.01),the score of children and marriage (father (29.80± 5.80) vs mother (33.26 ± 6.14)),the score of communication between husband and wife (father(28.75±6.48) vs mother(31.56±7.23)),and the score of experiential avoidance(father(21.48±9.85) vs mother(18.48±9.40)) and cognitive fusion scale (father (32.20± 12.46) vs mother(27.23± 13.70)) (P＜0.05).(2)The experiential avoidance of parents,the cognitive fusion of parents,the total score of marriage and subscales were significantly related to children's behavior problems (r=-0.35-0.81,P＜0.05 or 0.01).(3) The quality of marriage played a part intermediary role in the relationship between the two aspects of parents'psychological flexibility (experiential avoidance and cognitive fusion) and children behavior problems.The mediating effect was 32％ and 22.58％ respectively.Conclusion The psychological flexibility of parents can not only directly affect the behavior problems of children,but also affect the behavior problems of children through the quality of marriage as an intermediary variable.It can provide a new theoretical basis and effective methods to intervene and correct children behaviors problems.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the effects of Acceptance Commitment Therapy(ACT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy(CBT) on anxiety and depression in the elderly,and to explore the psychological mechanism of ACT to improve anxiety and depression.Methods A total of 25 elderly people were screened from four communities in Beijing.According to the place of residence,12 persons were enrolled in the ACT group and 13 persons were enrolled in the CBT group.The mindful attention awareness scale,geriatric anxiety inventory,geriatric depression scale,the acceptance and action questionnaire-Ⅱ and cognitive fusion questionnaire were evaluated before regrouping (T1),after six regiments (T2) and 5 weeks after the end of the intervention (T3).Results (1) On the level of mindfulness,the score of ACT group was higher than that in CBT group at T2(ACT:80.31 ±6.18,CBT:74.20±4.48,t=2.52,P＜0.05) and T3 (ACT:82.20±4.48,CBT:70.00± 12.23,t=4.56,P＜0.01).(2) On the level of anxiety there was significant difference between the two groups at T2(ACT:2.88±1.86,CBT:8.87±2.80,t=-8.15,P＜0.01) and T3(ACT:5.38±2.02,CBT:10.50±2.66,t=-6.93,P＜0.01),and ACT group was higher than the CBT group.(3)On the levels of depression there was significant difference between the two groups at T 1 (ACT:4.59 ± 3.97,CBT:7.89± 6.39,t =-2.25,P＜0.05),the ACT group was lower than the CBT group.The CBT group on the levels of depression there was a significant difference T1 and T2 (t=2.92,P＜0.05).(4) On the level of psychological flexibility,there was a significant difference between the two groups at T2 (ACT:41.38 ± 8.28,CBT:49.60± 3.52,t =-3.64,P＜0.01)and T3(ACT:40.80±7.66,CBT:52.47±6.23,t=-4.98,P＜0.01),and ACT group was lower than the CBT group.(5) Empirical avoidance only achieved a significant level of intermediate effects between ACT therapy and anxiety.In the ACT group,the median effect of empirical avoidance on anxiety was 11.40％.Conclusion The effect of CBT on depression is better than that of ACT,while the effect of ACT on the level of mindfulness,anxiety and mental flexibility is better than that of CBT.ACT with psychological flexibility as a psychological mechanism can improve the mental flexibility of the individual more than the CBT.
RESUMO
Objective To measure the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the compre-hensive assessment of ACT processes(CompACT)in financial staffs. Methods A total of 3 735 valid ques-tionnaires were obtained from financial staffs.The valid questionnaires were randomly allocated into two groups,of which one subset(n=1 873)was used for exploratory factor analysis(EPA),and the other(n=1 845)for confirmatory factor analysis(CFA).Criterion and convergent validity were tested by Pearson corre-lation respectively.Incremental validity was tested by hierarchical regression analysis. Results The EFA suggested theoretically-coherent three-factor structure for a 15-itemed version of the CompACT.The three fac-tors named as acceptance and cognitive defusion,mindfulness and self as context,value and committed ac-tion,and explained 73.75% of the total variance and factor loadings ranged from 0.67 to 0.90.The CFA con-firmed the hypothesized three-factor mode(χ2/df=5.91,CFI=0.98,TLI=0.98,RMSEA=0.05). Conclu-sion The research suggests that the Chinese version of the CompACT has acceptable psychometric in prop-erties,so it can be applied in the assessment of the psychological flexibility and mental health in China.
RESUMO
Objective:To revise the Chinese version of the Parental Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire (PPFQ) and test its validity and reliability.Methods:Totally 1015 parents from 2 primary school of Beijing were recruited and asked to complete the Chinese version of PPFQ.Item analysis was conducted to identify valid items.The parents were randomly allocated into two groups where one subset (n =510) was used for exploratory factor analysis (EFA),and the other (n =505) for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and discriminant validity.In addition,responses of 389 participants selected by simple random sampling was assessed in criterion validity with the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ),Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Second Edition (AAQ-Ⅱ]),Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS),Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS),Trait Coping Style Questionnaire(TCSQ) and Conners Child Behavior Rating Scale (CBRS).Seven weeks later,225 of the participants were retested.Results:The exploratory factor analysis extracted 3 components,and explained 58.1％ of the total variance.The factor loading of items ranged between 0.63 and 0.86.The confirmatory factor analysis verified the 3-factors model (x2/df=1.77,NFI =0.94,IFI =0.97,GFI =0.96,TLI =0.96,CFI =0.97,RMSEA =0.04).Discriminant validity testing demonstrated the three revised factors had adequate discriminant validity in relation to one another (Ps ＜ 0.01).Criterion validity results showed that the total and subscale scores of the PPFQ were negatively correlated with the scores of CFQ,AAQ-Ⅱ,SAS,SDS,TCSQ-NC,CBRS (r =-0.16--0.52,Ps ＜ 0.01),and were positively correlated with the scores of MAAS,TCSQ-PC (r =0.14-0.37,Ps ＜ 0.01).The total and subscale scores of the PPFQ demonstrated good internal consistency Cronbach's α were 0.77-0.86 and test-retest reliability coefficient were 0.55-0.75.Conclusion:It suggests tthe validity and reliability of the adapted Chinese version of the Parental Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire be satisfactory,and could be used in the clinical and research work in China.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the mediating effect of psychological flexibility in the relationship between the two dimensions of type-D personality(negative affect and social inhibition)and pathological in-ternet use.Methods 592 university students were sampled from central China district and were adminis-tered with Adolescent Pathological Internet Use Scale(APIUS),Type-D personality scale(DS14)and Ac-ceptance and Action Questionnaire-Second Edition(AAQ-Ⅱ).Results Pathological internet use(2.56 ± 0.61)positively correlated with negative affect(1.58±0.78)and social inhibition(1.96±0.61)(r=0.37, 0.25)respectively,and negatively correlated with psychological flexibility(4.69±1.15)(r=-0.40).Path a-nalysis with latent variables showed psychological flexibility partially but significantly mediated the predictive effect of negative affect and social inhibition on pathological internet use.The mediation rates were 56% for negative affect and 62% for social inhibition.Conclusion Psychological flexibility has significant incremen-tal validity beyond two dimensions of type-D personality,and partially mediated the effect of negative affect and social inhibition on pathological internet use.These results suggest the intervention focus of PIU can be psychological flexibility.
