RESUMO
Objective To explore the current status of emotional exhaustion among clinical nurses and its relationship with work stress, thought suppression, difficulties in emotion regulation. Methods A totally of 1 159 clinical nurses from 10 cities in Henan Province and Fujian Province were enrolled as the research subjects using grabbing random balls method. And their status of work stress, thought suppression, difficulties in emotion regulation and emotional exhaustion were investigated by Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale, White Bear Suppression Inventory, Brief Version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and Emotional Exhaustion Scale. Results The scores for work stress, thought suppression, difficulties in emotion regulation, emotional exhaustion were (23.5±3.8), (47.4±6.5), (54.1±7.2), (11.7±4.2), respectively. Among them, 40.0% of nurses experienced emotional exhaustion. Bootstrap analysis results showed that work stress positively affected emotional exhaustion among clinical nurses [standardized partial regression coefficient (β)=0.42, 95% confidence intervals (CI)： 0.36-0.44］. Work stress affected emotional exhaustion through thought suppression (β=0.16, 95%CI： 0.14-0.20), difficulties in emotion regulation (β=0.16, 95%CI： 0.14-0.19), and the chain mediating role of thought suppression and difficulties in emotion regulation (β=0.07, 95%CI： 0.04-0.09). Conclusion Emotional exhaustion symptoms are prevalent among clinical nurses. Work stress directly and indirectly influences thought suppression, difficulties in emotion regulation and emotional exhaustion of nurses.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of perceived stress on the impact of event in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury, and the mediating role of difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination and sleep. MethodsFrom March, 2022 to March, 2023, using the convenient sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 192 rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury from Southwest Hospital, Xinqiao Hospital and Daping Hospital. Assessment tools included Perceived Stress Scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Brief Ruminative Response Scale, Self-Rating Scale of Sleep, and Impact of Event Scale-revised. ResultsPerceived stress, difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination, sleep and the impact of event were correlated with each other in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury (r = 0.447~0.684, P < 0.01). Perceived stress significant positively predicted the impact of event (β = 0.49, P < 0.001), as well as difficulties in emotion (β = 0.70, P < 0.001), rumination (β = 0.21, P < 0.05) and sleep (β = 0.29, P < 0.001). The direct effect of perceived stress on the impact of event was not significant, but it affected the impact of event through seven mediation paths, among which the independent mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination and sleep accounted for 24.41%, 11.91% and 24.82%, respectively; the chain mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation and rumination accounted for 13.88%, the chain mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation and sleep accounted for 18.08%, the chain mediation effect size of rumination and sleep accounted for 3.17%, and the chain mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation, meditation and sleep accounted for 3.70%. ConclusionPerceived stress affected the impact of event in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury through the independent mediation and chain mediation of difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination and sleep.
RESUMO
En este estudio se presenta la adaptación de la Escala de Dificultades en la Regulación Emocional (DERS) para universitarios de Córdoba, Argentina. Mediante un muestreo accidental se seleccionaron 211 universitarios provenientes diferentes carreras. El análisis factorial exploratorio reveló la estructura original de seis factores subyacentes (50.79% de la varianza total). Se realizaron estudios de consistencia interna y validez concurrente con las escalas de neuroticismo y extraversión del cuestionario IPIP-FFM evidenciando resultados satisfactorios. Finalmente, en estudios de contrastación según el género, solo el factor Falta de Claridad Emocional resultó superior en mujeres ( t = 2.19; gl = 209; p < 0.05; d = 0.17). Los resultados obtenidos son prometedores y posibilitan el desarrollo de nuevas investigaciones que indaguen el rol de la regulación emocional en universitarios cordobeses.
The purpose of the present study was to validate the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) in the university population of Cordoba, Argentina. A convenience sample of 211 undergraduates enrolled in different careers was recruited. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a six-factor structure similar to the original version which explained 50.79% of the variance. Examination of internal consistency and concurrent validity with neuroticism and extraversion traits of IPIP-FFM revealed satisfactory results. Finally, studies examining gender differences showed a significant although small difference in the factor "lack of emotional clarity" for women (t = 2.19; df = 209; p < 0.05; d = 0.17). In general, results are promising and enable the development of further researches that examine the role of difficulties in emotion regulation at the university context of Cordoba.
