Background/Aim. Breast cancer is often accompanied by patients? unpleasant emotional states, which can significantly affect both the undergoing treatment and the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in relation between emotional distress and various aspects of patients? quality of life, which would further indicate different psychotherapeutic interventions in psycho-oncological practice. Methods. The sample consisted of 97 breast cancer patients. Emotional distress was measured by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), cognitive emotion regulation strategies were measured using the Cognitive emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-36), while various aspects of health related quality of life were assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) questionnaire. Multiple simultaneous mediations between variables were established using the process macro INDIRECT for SPSS. Results. Positive refocusing had positive effects both on physical [a = -0.83, b = 0.50, ab = - 0.42, standard error (SE) = 0.14; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.17 ? 0.83] and emotional well-being (a = -0.83, b = 0.29, ab = 0.24, SE = 0.13; 95% CI = -0.01 ? 0.58) of the patients. Rumination negatively affected emotional wellbeing (a = -0.75, b = -0.33, ab = -0.25, SE = 0.16; 95% CI = -0.71 ? -0.01) of the patients. Catastrophizing had a negative impact on social (a = 0.96, b = 0.12, ab = -0.12, SE = 0.13; 95% CI = -0.33 ? -0.13) and functional well-being of the patients (a = 0.96, b = -0.16, ab = -0.15, SE = 0.09; 95% CI = -0.32 ? -0.01). Conclusion. Positive refocusing, rumination and catastrophizing are significant cognitive coping strategies through which the intensity of emotional distress significantly changes, and this can be subsequently reflected in different aspects of patients? health related quality of life. The above mentioned implies potential benefits of implementation of cognitive-behavioral trainings and interventions directed towards acquiring adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, in order to improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients.

This study examined whether adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediate the relationship between forgiveness and health-related quality of life in a sample of 350 Spanish people aged 55 years and older. Positive refocusing and positive reappraisal strategies partially mediated the relation between forgiveness and mental health. Thus, focusing on planning partially mediated the relation between forgiveness and physical health. Our findings contribute to an emerging understanding of the underlying coping process between forgiveness and health outcomes and might provide preliminary insight for potential intervention for increasing quality of life via the promotion of forgiveness and adaptive coping in the elderly.

Abstract Background: Childhood trauma (CT) is considered as a highly risk factor for depression. Although the pathway of CT to depression, especially the mediating or moderating effects of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) or neuroticism, have investigated by several studies, the results were inconsistent and there is a paucity of full models among these interactive factors. This study aims to examine the relationships among CT, adaptive / maladaptive CERS, neuroticism and current depression symptoms in university students.Methods: We recruited 3009 students, aged averagely 18.00 (SD = 0.772) years, from universities in Hunan province in 2019. A moderated mediation model was built to examine the relationships among CT, CERS, neuroticism and current depression using the SPSS PROCESS 3.5 macro. We conducted bootstrapping of regression estimates with 5,000 samples and 95% confidence interval.Results:Results revealed that the significant mediating effects of adaptive CERS (β = 0.0117; 95% CI: 0.0061 to 0.0181) and maladaptive CERS (β = 0.0278; 95% CI: 0.0161 to 0.0401) between CT and depression were observed, accounting for 5.690% and 13.521% of the total effect respectively. Then, moderated mediation analyses results showed that neuroticism simultaneously moderated the direct effect of CT on current depression (β = 0.035; 95% CI: 0.001 to 0.009), and the indirect effects of CT on current depression through adaptive CERS (adaptive CERS – current depression: β = -0.034; 95% CI: -0.007 to -0.001) and maladaptive CERS (maladaptive CERS – current depression: β = 0.157; 95% CI: 0.017 to 0.025). However, the moderating effects of neuroticism in the indirect paths from CT to adaptive CERS (β = 0.037; 95% CI: 0.000 to 0.014) and maladaptive CERS (β = -0.001; 95% CI: -0.006 to 0.005) were not significant.Conclusions: This study provides powerful evidences through a large university students sample for the mediating role of adaptive / maladaptive CERS and the moderating role of neuroticism between CT and current depression. This manifests that cognitive emotion regulation may be a vital factor for people who suffered from CT and current depression. Furthermore, the influence of neuroticism in this process cannot be ignored.

Interpersonal difficulties and emotion regulation are the core characteristics of the borderline personality disorders (BPD). However, how emotion regulation strategies contribute to the association between interpersonal problems and borderline personality symptomatology have not been well-addressed in the literature. The aim of the current study is to examine the mediator role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies between interpersonal problems and borderline personality beliefs. The study consisted of 648 (381 women and 267 male) people from Turkey. In addition to Socio Demographic Form, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales (IIP-32) and Borderline Personality Belief Subscale (PBQ) were used to collect data from participants. Results showed that negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies, particularly catastrophization, blaming-others and self-blame mediated the relationship between interpersonal problems and borderline personality beliefs. With the cognitive level of assessment, the findings of the current study provide enlightening information to understand the underlying processes of the borderline personality pattern, as well as promising clinical implications to improve intervention programs within cognitive therapy approaches.

Living With Hiv

Introduction: People who are living with HIV often experience physical as well as psychological challenges. Therefore, the aim of this descriptive, correlational study was to explore the potential mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relationships between early maladaptive schemas, quality of life, and self-care behavior in patients with HIV/AIDS. Methods: In the first half of 2017, patients with HIV/AIDS (N=240) were recruited from an HIV clinic in Tehran, Iran. A self-report questionnaire included the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQSF), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), short form of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and a self-care behaviors questionnaire. The data analysis involved using advanced statistical techniques for structural equation modeling. Results: There were significant, inverse relationships between all five areas of early maladaptive schemas and positive cognitive emotional regulation strategies, self-care behaviors, and quality of life. Also, there were significant, positive relationships between all five areas of early maladaptive schemas and negative cognitive and emotional regulation strategies. Conclusion: The findings suggest that practical interventions to reduce maladaptive responses may result in healthier outcomes for persons living with HIV.
