The mediating role of depressive, anxiety, and physical symptoms on work ability index in employed women with breast cancer: a prospective study from Croatia

“…The physiological response to an emotion depends on the regulation strategy employed, whether adaptive or maladaptive ( 41 , 42 ). Adaptive emotion regulation strategies are positively associated with physical health ( 43 , 44 ) and with a decrease in depression and anxiety ( 45 , 46 ). Conversely, maladaptive emotion regulation strategies are associated with a decline in physical health ( 43 , 44 ) and a long-term increase in anxiety and depression ( 45 , 46 ).…”

Conversely, maladaptive emotion regulation strategies are associated with a decline in physical health ( 43 , 44 ) and a long-term increase in anxiety and depression ( 45 , 46 ). A recent review has emphasized the importance of emotion regulation in breast cancer management ( 47 ).…”

“…This instrument consists of seven items: current work ability compared with lifetime best, job demands, current diseases, estimated work impairment, sick leave, prognosis of work ability in two years, and mental resources. The score ranges from 7 to 49 points and is categorized into four levels: poor ( 7 - 27 ), moderate ( 28 - 36 ), good ( 37 - 43 ), and excellent ( 44 - 49 ) ( 31 ).…”

Effectiveness of Positive Therapy in Emotion Regulation and Distress Tolerance in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease

“…This distress tolerance scale assesses an individual's ability to tolerate emotional distress, mental assessment of distress, attention to negative emotions when they occur, and regulatory measures to alleviate distress. This scale consists of 15 items and four subscales: Emotional distress tolerance items (1,3,5), being absorbed by negative emotions items (2,4,15), mental estimation of distress items (6,7,(9)(10)(11), and regulating efforts to relieve distress items (8,13,14). A 5-point Likert scale is used to score each item on this scale (1: Completely agree; 2: Slightly agree; 3: Neither agree nor disagree; 4: Slightly disagree; 5: Completely disagree).…”
