Posttraumatic growth and rumination among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder: The mediating role of social support

Although rumination and social support are regarded as essential predictors of posttraumatic growth (PTG), few studies have explored the associations among PTG, rumination, and social support in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study examined whether social support mediates the relationship between rumination and PTG. Cross-sectional questionnaire data were collected from 385 parents of children with ASD from September 2019 to November 2020 by convenience sampling. Participants completed the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Event Related Rumination Inventory, and Social Support Rating Scale. Path analyses showed that subjective support partially mediates the relationship between deliberate rumination and PTG (β = 0.073, P < 0.001), and indirect effects account for 15.30% of the total effects. In addition, a negative direct path was found between intrusive and PTG because of the suppression effect of subjective support (β = −0.110, P < 0.01), and indirect effects accounted for 80% of the direct effects. For future studies, it underscores the essential role of subjective support and rumination in promoting PTG in parents of children with ASD.

The impact of non-infection pandemic stress on depression and anxiety severity: Investigating mediation by intrusive and deliberate rumination

BackgroundSocial restrictions to curb COVID-19's spread have had adverse effects on population mental health. Rumination is one mechanism through which pandemic stress (PS) might translate into psychopathology. In particular, intrusive rumination (IR) is believed to be problematic. In this study, we investigated whether IR and deliberate rumination (DR) mediated the associations between PS and both depression and anxiety severity. Methods1090 participants recruited online and from an undergraduate psychology participation pool completed an assessment of COVID-19 PS, as well as the Event-Related Rumination Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Total scores for PS, IR, DR, depression, and anxiety severity were tested in a parallel mediation model. ResultsPS positively predicted IR, DR, depression, and anxiety severity. IR positively predicted 1depression and anxiety severity, whereas DR did not. Indirect effects of PS on depression and anxiety severity were significant for IR, but not DR. Direct effects of PS on anxiety and depression severity were significant. Taken together, IR partially mediated the association between PS and both measures of psychopathology, and DR did not. LimitationsThis study was limited by its cross-sectional design and the lack of assessment of when PS exposure occurred. ConclusionsRegarding PS that is unrelated to infection by COVID-19, IR is one mechanism through which psychopathology may emerge, whereas DR appears to be benign. Promoting a shift from IR to DR may therefore be one strategy for mitigating the negative effects of PS and other stressors on mental health.

The Impact of Intrusive Rumination on College Students’ Creativity During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Mediating Effect of Post-traumatic Growth and the Moderating Role of Psychological Resilience

PurposeCollege students in the pandemic area are experiencing the problems caused by COVID-19 by themselves or people around them, how to cope with the sudden changes and adjust the psychological stress response, and get experience and grow in the fight against the pandemic is a question worth in-depth discussion. The researchers constructed a mediated regulation model to examine the effects of intrusive rumination on the creativity of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the mediating effect of post-traumatic growth and the moderating role of psychological resilience.MethodsA sample of 475 university students from Guangdong Province, China, were surveyed with the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale, the Event Related Rumination Inventory, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, and the Psychological Resilience Scale. SPSS (version 23) and PROCESS (version 3.3) were used for correlation analysis, mediation analysis, and mediated moderation analysis.Results(1) Intrusive rumination was positively correlated with post-traumatic growth and creativity but negatively correlated with psychological resilience. Psychological resilience was positively correlated with post-traumatic growth and creativity. Post-traumatic growth and creativity were positively correlated. (2) Post-traumatic growth played a mediating role in the relationship between intrusive rumination and creativity. (3) Psychological resilience moderated the first half of the pathway “intrusive rumination → post-traumatic growth → creativity.”ConclusionIntrusive rumination affected creativity directly and also indirectly through post-traumatic growth. At the same time, psychological resilience played a moderating role between intrusive rumination and creativity. The correlation between intrusive rumination and post-traumatic growth was stronger when levels of psychological resilience levels were higher.

Development and effects of a post-traumatic growth program for patients with breast cancer.

This study aimed to develop a post-traumatic growth (PTG) program, based on the PTG promotion resources suggested by Cahlhoun, Cann, and Tedeschi, and to apply it to breast cancer patients to determine its effect. A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest experimental design was used. In total, 74 participants were enrolled in this study, with 37 in the experimental group and 37 in the control group. The PTG program developed in this study consisted of writing and self-reflection for self-analysis, talking and sharing for self-disclosure, and participation in a self-help group for social support. The instruments used for this study were the Korean version of the Event Related Rumination Inventory, the Korean version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Korean version of the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory. The data were analyzed with the χ2test, t-test, Fisher's exact test and all analysis were conducted based on an intention-to-treat principle. The experimental group that underwent a PTG program had a lower emotional distress score than the control group (anxiety: t=-3.84, p=.001; depression: t=-3.22, p=.002). The experimental group had a lower intrusive rumination (t=-3.55, p=.001) and had higher deliberate rumination score than the control group (t=2.10, p=.039). The experimental group had a higher PTG score than the control group (t=2.34, p=.022). The PTG program developed in this study for breast cancer patients has the potential to contribute to the promotion of PTG in breast cancer patients.

Longitudinal relationships between guilt and suicide risk among adolescents in a postdisaster context: Mediating roles of rumination and posttraumatic stress disorder.

To analyze the pathways and mechanisms underlying the impact of guilt on suicide risk using a well-controlled longitudinal study, we examined the mediating roles of intrusive rumination, deliberate rumination, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in this association. Four hundred and eight adolescent survivors (Mage =14.05years) were assessed using self-report questionnaires three and a half years and four and a half years after the Ya'an earthquake. The self-report questionnaires included the Trauma Exposures Questionnaire, the Interpersonal Guilt Questionnaire, the Event-Related Rumination Inventory, the PTSD Checklist for the DSM-5, and the Child Behavior Problems Questionnaire. The results indicated that guilt had a direct and positive effect on suicide risk. Intrusive rumination and PTSD mediated the relationship between guilt and suicide risk. Guilt could increase deliberate rumination, but deliberate rumination did not significantly predict PTSD and suicide risk. Negative postdisaster emotions, such as guilt, can enhance the combined effects of cognition and psychological disorders on suicide risk. Guilt affects suicide risk indirectly through intrusive rumination and PTSD but not through deliberate rumination.

Social Support and Spiritual Well-Being of Patients With Esophageal Cancer Aged Over 50 Years: The Mediating Role of Rumination.

BackgroundSpiritual well-being plays an important role in helping patients cope with disease. Previous studies have investigated the association between social support and spiritual well-being, whereas few studies have explored the relationship in patients with esophageal cancer (EC), and the mechanisms behind this pathway have not been thoroughly examined.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the relationship between social support and spiritual well-being of Chinese patients with EC aged over 50 years and to analyze whether the relationship was mediated by rumination.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 197 EC patients. Participants completed the general information questionnaire, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Spiritual Scale, the Chinese Event Related Rumination Inventory, and the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS).ResultsResults demonstrated that social support of patients with EC aged over 50 years was positively correlated with spiritual well-being and deliberate rumination and negatively correlated with intrusive rumination; spiritual well-being was positively associated with deliberate rumination and negatively correlated with intrusive rumination. The effect of social support on spiritual well-being was partially mediated by deliberate rumination and intrusive rumination.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that interventions directed toward enhancing social support and deliberate rumination and reducing the level of intrusive rumination may help patients with EC aged over 50 years improve spiritual well-being.

Coping and rumination as predictors of posttraumatic growth and depreciation

PurposeThe present study examined the joint impact of coping and rumination after trauma on posttraumatic growth (PTG) and posttraumatic depreciation (PTD) based on the PTG model. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2017 and May 2018. A sample of 253 individuals who had experienced a traumatic event in the last two years, was included. Participants completed an online self-reported survey, including demographic variables, trauma characteristics, the German Posttraumatic Growth and Depreciation Inventory – Expanded, the Brief COPE Inventory, and the Event Related Rumination Inventory. An analysis of correlation, a principal component analysis and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. Statistical analyses were undertaken on SPSS (version 25.0; IBM, New York, USA). ResultsAfter controlling for the effects of personal and trauma characteristics, self-sufficient coping and socially supported coping were found to favor the emergence of PTG. Event-related and recent deliberate rumination were positively related to PTG. Avoidant-focused coping and recent intrusive rumination were positively associated with PTD. Overall, the final models accounted for 46% and 58% of the variance in PTG and PTD. ConclusionOur findings confirm the PTG model and support the central role of deliberate rumination, self-sufficient coping and socially supported coping in the development of PTG. Our results indicate that a similar model of PTD with comparable influencing factors can be assumed: if the individual is stuck in ongoing intrusive rumination and uses more avoidance-focused coping, it might lead to more reports of PTD.

Investigation of Factors Associated with Psychological Symptoms and Posttraumatic Growth in Women with Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a traumatic experience. Those diagnosed with breast cancer often experience psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and stress. However, traumatic experiences do not only cause psychological symptoms, but also can lead to positive changes named as posttraumatic growth (PTG). In the present study, it was aimed to examine both the psychological symptom (depression, anxiety, stress) and PTG levels of women with breast cancer and the relationship of these variables with core beliefs challenge and rumination types. Sociodemographic and Cancer-Related Information Form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Core Beliefs Inventory, and Event-Related Rumination Inventory were applied to 201 women with breast cancer diagnosis (Mage = 47.81, SD = 8.58), mediation relations of variables were examined with Process Macro. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the psychological symptom levels of the majority of the participants were low and their PTG levels were above medium. It was determined that core beliefs challenge positively predicted depression, anxiety, stress, and PTG. Intrusive rumination mediated the relationship between core beliefs challenge and depression, anxiety and stress; deliberate rumination mediated the relationship between core beliefs challenge and PTG. In other words, as the core belief challenge of the participants increase, both psychological symptom and PTG levels increase. In addition, those who use intrusive rumination experience more psychological symptom, and those who use deliberate rumination experience more PTG. The present study reveals the importance of cognitive processes in understanding the psychological symptoms and PTG in women with breast cancer.

The relationship between rumination, fatigue and psychological resilience among cancer survivors.

The study's purpose was to examine the association between rumination, fatigue and psychological resilience among cancer survivors. Cancer is a disease that causes difficult lives in individuals. Individuals can struggle with cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and ruminative thoughts during and after the disease process. However, it can also be seen that some individuals make sense out of their cancer experience and turn into stronger individuals. A cross-sectional design. This study was conducted from February through November 2020. Data were collected from 159 cancer survivors using Event Related Rumination Inventory, Cancer Fatigue Scale and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. The findings showed that intrusive rumination significantly and negatively mediated psychological resilience but significantly and positively mediated with CRF. In contrast, deliberate rumination was significantly and positively mediated psychological resilience but significantly and negatively mediated with CRF. The effects of intrusive and deliberate rumination on fatigue were .431 (CI=0.042-0.635) and -.285 (CI=-0.163 to 0.491), respectively. In addition, the effects of intrusive and deliberate rumination on psychological resilience were -.253 (CI=-0.177 to 0.447) and .304 (CI=0.045-0.124), respectively. The findings underline the mediating role of rumination on CRF and psychological resilience among cancer survivors. The findings also delineate the associations between rumination, CRF and psychological resilience, which differ based on rumination type. The findings are particularly important to oncology nurses, who are the main sources of psychosocial care. To support cancer survivors and mobilise their resources, oncology nurses should be made aware of the different types and effects of rumination. With the help of this awareness, oncology nurses can enhance managing intrusive rumination, replacing intrusive ruminations with deliberate ones, mobilising resources and promoting psychological resilience.

Influence of perceived trauma on the cognitive processing model of posttraumatic growth among university students

ABSTRACT This study examined whether perceiving an event as a trauma influenced a cognitive processing model explaining posttraumatic growth (PTG). A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted with 311 university students from eight universities in Japan. The participants provided information about the most stressful event they had experienced and completed the expanded version of the PTG Inventory, Core Belief Inventory, Event Related Rumination Inventory, and Cognitive and Emotional Processing from Disclosure Inventory. A multi-group structural equation modeling was conducted by dividing the participants into two groups depending on whether they identified the most stressful event as a trauma. The model with no constraint showed a good fit. The model with partial constraint showed a better fit than the models with no constraint or full constraint. The difference of the model was seen as a covariance between the Event Related Rumination Inventory and the Cognitive and Emotional Processing from Disclosure Inventory. The results demonstrated configural invariance and partial metric invariance. This indicated that PTG would be recognized irrespective of whether the event was perceived as a trauma. This study also indicated that different factors out of the model could be associated with the ruminative process and disclosure process. The importance of focusing on the process of PTG, regardless of an individual’s perception of the event, was emphasized, especially for factors related to rumination and disclosure.

The Mediating Role of Adaptive Cognitive Emotion Regulation in the Effect of Deliberate Rumination upon Posttraumatic Growth

In this study, the mediator role of adaptive cognitive emotion regulation in the effect of deliberate rumination upon posttraumatic growth was aimed to be analyzed. A convenience sample of 272 university students including 175 (64,3%) females and 97 (35,7%) males was recruited from a university in Denizli, Turkey. Ages of the participants ranged between 20 and 37 with an average age of 21.94 years (SD=1.69). The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Event Related Rumination Inventory and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were used for collecting the data. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23 and Amos 22 software packages. Deliberate rumination was determined to be significantly and positively correlated with posttraumatic growth (r=,28, p&lt;,01) and positive cognitive emotion regulation (r=,25, p&lt;,01). Moreover, positive cognitive emotion regulation was significantly and positively correlated with posttraumatic growth (r=,27, p&lt;,01). The results indicated that adaptive cognitive emotion regulation mediated the effect of deliberate rumination on posttraumatic growth. The results, limitations, and implications of the study were discussed.

The mediating role of rumination in the relation between self-compassion, posttraumatic stress disorder, and posttraumatic growth among adolescents after the Jiuzhaigou earthquake

Previous studies indicated that self-compassion can alleviate posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and promote posttraumatic growth (PTG). Rumination is a cognitive process in which individuals repeatedly think about traumatic events and their consequences, which includes invasive rumination (IR) and deliberate rumination (DR). IR is a process of thoughts over traumatic event that invades the cognitive world in an undesired state, whereas DR is an individual’s conscious and repeated thinking on events. IR and DR have also been shown to have effects on PTSD and PTG. Studies have examined the relationship between self-compassion, IR, deliberate rumination DR, PTSD, and PTG, respectively, but only a few studies have examined their combined roles in PTSD and PTG among adolescents who have experienced an earthquake. In addition, recent studies have shown that the positive and negative components of self-compassion have different effects on post-traumatic stress responses, but few studies have explored the mechanisms of positive and negative self-compassion on PTSD and PTG in adolescents who experience earthquakes. This study examines the mediating roles of rumination in the relationship between self-compassion, PTSD and PTG among Chinese adolescents after the Jiuzhaigou earthquake. Ten months after the Jiuzhaigou earthquake, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 621 middle school students in Jiuzhaigou county. The participants were assessed by using the following systems: Trauma Exposure Questionnaire, Self-Compassion Scale, Event-Related Rumination Inventory, PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. When we controlled for the gender, age, and trauma exposure in the direct effect model, positive self-compassion (PSC) had a negative effect on PTSD and a positive effect on PTG. Moreover, negative self-compassion (NSC) had a positive effect on PTSD, but the effect on PTG was nonsignificant. In the indirect model, PSC had an indirect and positive effect on PTSD and PTG via deliberate rumination (DR). NSC had an indirect and positive effect on PTSD and PTG via invasive rumination (IR), whereas NSC also had an indirect and negative effect on PTSD and PTG, as well as via an indirect path from IR to DR on PTSD and PTG. Findings indicated that increased PSC may reduce PTSD and be beneficial for PTG. NSC may exacerbate PTSD. Rumination plays a significant mediating role between self-compassion, PTSD, and PTG.

The Relationship Between Creativity and Intrusive Rumination Among Chinese Teenagers During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Emotional Resilience as a Moderator.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not only resulted in immeasurable life and property losses worldwide but has also impacted individuals’ development, especially teenagers. After the COVID-19 pandemic, individual rumination as an important cognitive process should be given more attention because of its close associations with physical and mental health. Previous studies have shown that creativity as an antecedent variable can predict people’s mental health or adaptation. However, few studies have focused on the relationship between creativity and individual cognitive rumination after traumatic events, and the mechanism underlying this relationship remains unclear. By using the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale (RIBS), the Event Related Rumination Inventory, and the Questionnaire of Adolescent Emotional Resilience, the current study explored the relationship between creativity and intrusive rumination among 1488 Chinese teenagers during the COVID-19 pandemic and analyzed the moderating effect of emotional resilience on the relationship. The results showed that creativity, as assessed by the RIBS, was positively related to teenagers’ intrusive rumination, which implied that a higher level of creative performance could predict more intrusive rumination. Moreover, emotional resilience acted as a moderator in the relationship between creativity and intrusive rumination; the correlation was stronger when emotional resilience was low. These findings provide more evidence of the relationship between creativity and mental health and show the effect of this traumatic event on teenagers.

Event-Related Rumination Inventory: A Validation Process in the Greek Language.

Rumination has been identified as a negative psychological response of women diagnosed with breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to validate the Event-Related Rumination Inventory (ERRI) in Greek women with breast cancer. Sixty female patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer were included in the study. The ERRI questionnaire was translated with the back-forward procedure. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, and medical parameters were also assessed. The principal component analysis resulted in the following two-factor solution: (1) intrusive thoughts and (2) positive outcome. All subscales showed satisfactory internal consistency and variance, relative to theoretical score ranges. Subscale scores and the total score were significantly correlated with post-traumatic growth, distress, depression, and anxiety, demonstrating good criterion validity. Associations with patients' sociodemographic and medical characteristics, such as the stage of the disease and the type of treatment, were also identified. The Greek version of the ERRI provides valid and reliable measures of rumination when administered to women with breast cancer.

Mindfulness as a Moderator in the Relation Among Core Belief Disruption, Rumination, Posttraumatic Symptoms, and Growth

In the present study, we tested moderated mediation models where the moderator role of mindfulness and its subscales has an indirect effect of core belief disruption (CBD) on posttraumatic symptoms (PTS) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) through intrusive (IR) and deliberate (DR) ruminations. Two hundred forty-six individuals, ages ranging between 19 and 77, with traumatic experiences participated in the study. The data were collected by Traumatic Experience Screening List, Core Beliefs Inventory (CBI), Impact of Event Scale-Revised Form (IES-R), Event-Related Rumination Inventory, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). The moderator role of mindfulness was supported both for PTS and PTG. The analysis indicated that the indirect effect of CBD on PTS only through IR was moderated by mindfulness total score (MF-T) and nonreactivity (NR) subscales. The analysis revealed that the MF-T × IR interaction effect was statistically significant. The interaction effect was significant for only low and medium levels of MF-T. When the model was analyzed for PTG, it was observed that the indirect effect of CBD on PTG through IR and DR was moderated significantly only for describing (DES) subscale of mindfulness. In addition, the DES × IR interaction effect was significant only for medium and higher levels of DES. It was also observed that the DES × DR interaction effect was significant only for medium and high levels of DES. Mindfulness and its components should be taken into consideration when assessing posttraumatic symptoms and growth.

The Relationship Among Rumination, Coping Strategies, and Subjective Well-being in Chinese Patients With Breast Cancer: A Cross-sectional study

To investigate the relationship between rumination, coping strategies, and subjective well-being (SWB) and test the mediating effects of coping strategies on rumination and SWB in patients with breast cancer (BC). This cross-sectional study assessed rumination, coping strategies, and SWB using the General Well-being Schedule, the Chinese Event-Related Rumination Inventory, and the Medical Coping Modes Questionnairein BC patients admitted to a tertiary general hospital in China. SWB was positively associated with the total score for rumination (r=.32, p<.01), deliberate rumination (r=.75, p<.01), and confrontation (r=.58, p<.01). The relationship between rumination and SWB was mediated by confrontation (indirect effect=.74). BC diagnosis can affect patient's SWB. These findings indicate that rumination and confrontation have direct and indirect effects on SWB. Therefore, psychological interventions focused on improving coping may increase SWB. Notwithstanding, larger longitudinal studies are needed to further examine the relationship between cognitive processes, coping strategies, and SWB.

Attachment Style, Complicated Grief and Post-Traumatic Growth in Traumatic Loss: The Role of Intrusive and Deliberate Rumination.

Objective The present study examines the effects of attachment styles on the grief response and the indirect effect of rumination in parents who lost a child in the Sewol Ferry accident. Methods Bereaved parents (n=81) completed self-report questionnaires evaluating their attachment style (Experience in Close Relationship-Short form), traumatic loss related rumination (Event-Related Rumination Inventory), degree of complicated grief (Inventory of Complicated Grief), and post-traumatic growth (Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory). Data were analyzed using correlation analysis, structural equation modeling, and bootstrapping. Results The indirect effect of event-related intrusive rumination was significant in the relationship between attachment avoidance and complicated grief. The path from attachment avoidance to post-traumatic growth via deliberate rumination was not significant. With respect toattachment anxiety and post-traumatic growth, the indirect effect of deliberate rumination was significant. But the indirect effect of intrusive rumination was not significant in the relationships among attachment anxiety, complicated grief, and post-traumatic growth. Conclusion Individuals with attachment anxiety could obtain post-traumatic growth via deliberate rumination. By contrast, attachment avoidance was associated with the risk of maladaptive grief. Grief interventions should account for individual differences in attachment styles through interventions that manage intrusive rumination and strengthen deliberate rumination.

Current situation of social function in young and middle-aged coronary disease patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its influencing factors

Objective To investigate the social function in young and middle-aged coronary disease patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to analyze its influencing factors so as to provide a basis for making clinical intervention. Methods From February 2019 to September 2019, this study selected 240 young and middle-aged coronary disease patients after PCI reexamined in Cardiovascular Medicine of a ClassⅢ Grade A general hospital in Nanning as subjects by convenience sampling. All of patients were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Social Dysfunction Screening Scale (SDSS) , Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and Event Related Rumination Inventory (ERRI) . Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results Among 240 young and middle-aged coronary disease patients after PCI, the total score of SDSS was (3.98±2.58) . The incidence of social dysfunction was 72.9% (175/240) . Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of social dysfunction in young and middle-aged coronary disease patients after PCI included the average monthly income per person in family (OR=0.383) , illness perception (OR=1.558) , objective rumination (OR=0.643) with statistical differences (P<0.01) . Conclusions Social function in young and middle-aged coronary disease patients after PCI needs to be improved. Effective intervention based on influencing factors should be taken to reduce the incidence of social dysfunction in young and middle-aged coronary disease patients after PCI.
