“…Similarly, a meta-analysis has argued that specific emotion regulation strategies are related to specific psychological symptoms (Aldao et al, 2010 ). This hypothesis of cognitive specificity has been demonstrated in trauma victims of different types (Chung & Hunt, 2014 ; Chung et al, 2008 ; Chung & Reed, 2016 ; Slanbekova et al, 2019 ). Differentiating the individual factors that contribute to specific symptoms of emotional disorders may pave the way for a better understanding of the aetiology and course of these disorders, which in turn has implications for treatment (Bruch et al, 1993 ).…”

The present study compared Chinese emerging adults and adults regarding the association between contamination fear, posttraumatic stress disorder post-COVID-19 and psychiatric comorbidity after controlling for demographic and trauma exposure variables. 1089 Chinese civilians (M = 382; F = 707) with a mean age of 26 years (M = 26.36, SD = 8.58) were recruited from different provinces in China via an online survey posted on mainstream Chinese social networking platforms. They completed a demographic page with questions on trauma exposure, the Vancouver Obsessional Compulsive Inventory, the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 and the General Health Questionnaire-28. Results showed that 12.7%, 68.7% and 18.6% met criteria for full, partial and no PTSD, respectively. Emerging adults reported significantly lower levels of symptoms of re-experiencing, avoidance, somatic problems, anxiety and fear of contamination than adults. In both emerging adults and adults, contamination fear was correlated with PTSD and psychiatric comorbidity. High educational attainment was significantly correlated with psychiatric comorbidity in emerging adults, but with PTSD in adults. Length of quarantine was correlated with psychiatric comorbidity only in adults. In conclusion, both emerging adults and adults developed varying levels of contamination fear, posttraumatic stress and general psychological symptoms following the outbreak of COVID-19. Emerging adults were more resilient than adults in coping with distress.

“…Slanbekova et al. ( 2019 ) noted that putting traumatic experiences into perspective is a form of emotion‐focused coping in which individuals distance themselves from distress by making themselves believe that an experience was not terrible compared with other experiences. To some extent, this reflects a self‐deceptive component of this coping strategy, which may be beneficial in coping with trauma exposure in the short term (Wu et al., 2015 ).…”

Researchhas shown that posttraumatic reactions can co‐occur in trauma‐exposed individuals. Many studies have assessed the co‐occurring patterns of two types of reactions, but few have assessed the patterns of multiple reactions. To build on existing knowledge, the present study examined co‐occurring patterns of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, depressive symptoms, and posttraumatic growth (PTG) among adolescents during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Participants ( N = 683) were adolescents selected from an area in China severely affected by COVID‐19 who completed the PTSD Checklist, a measure of depression, a PTG inventory, and a cognitive emotional regulation questionnaire. Latent profile analysis and multinomial logistic regression were used for the data analyses. The results showed three heterogeneous patterns characterized by growth ( n = 248, 36.3%), distress ( n = 101, 14.8%), and struggle ( n = 334, 48.9%). Positive refocusing and reappraisal were associated with membership in the growth group compared with distress group, OR = 0.83, 95% CI [0.75, 0.93] and OR = 0.78, 95% CI [0.68, 0.90], whereas rumination, catastrophizing, and “putting into perspective” were associated with membership in the distress group compared with growth group, OR s = 1.15–1.44. These findings suggest that posttraumatic reactions show heterogeneous characteristics: struggle, rather than growth or distress, is common among adolescents during COVID‐19; and distinct cognitive emotional regulation strategies have distinguishing roles in the three patterns of posttraumatic reactions.

“…Self‐blame means a sense of regret. When faced with a patient's death, nurses might reflect on their behaviour and developed self‐judgment, which made them trapped in regretful moods, leading to anxiety and depression (Cheng & Lin, 2016; Slanbekova et al., 2019). The positive correlation between rumination and symptoms of anxiety and depression has been extensively studied in adults and adolescents (McLaughlin & Nolen‐Hoeksema, 2011; Stikkelbroek et al., 2016), but is rarely reported among nurses.…”

“…Cognitive emotion regulation is the consciously cognitive way of regulating individuals' emotions or modifying the event itself, so as to help individuals manage their feelings and prevent them from being overwhelmed (Mocan et al., 2018; Slanbekova et al., 2019). There are four maladaptive strategies (self‐blame, rumination, catastrophizing and blaming others) and five adaptive strategies (acceptance, positive refocusing, refocus on planning, positive reappraisal and putting into perspective) (Garnefski et al., 2001).…”

Anxiety, depression and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in Chinese nurses during the COVID‐19 outbreak

Aims To explore the association between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and anxiety and depression among nurses during the COVID‐19 outbreak. Background Nurses play a vital role in responding to the COVID‐19 outbreak, but many of them suffer from psychological problems due to the excessive workload and stress. Understanding the correlation between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and anxiety and depression will promote targeted psychosocial interventions for these affected nurses. Methods This cross‐sectional study of 586 nurses was conducted in Eastern China. Participants completed online questionnaires that investigated anxiety, depression and cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Results The prevalence of nurses' anxiety and depression was 27.6% and 32.8%, respectively. Lower self‐blame, rumination and catastrophizing, as well as greater acceptance and positive refocusing, were related to fewer symptoms of anxiety or depression. Conclusion The cognitive emotion regulation strategies of acceptance and positive refocusing contribute to reducing anxiety or depression. These strategies should be considered when implementing psychotherapeutic interventions to improve nurses' adverse emotional symptoms. Implications for Nursing Management This study highlights the need to assess cognitive emotion regulation strategies use in screening for anxiety and depression. Nurse managers should develop psychosocial interventions including appropriate strategies to help nurses with adverse emotions during a pandemic.
