Psychological resilience and emotional self-regulation of higher vocational college students

Vocational college students are facing the contradiction of coordinated physical and mental development, as well as the pressure of learning development and social expectations. Many high school students have poor emotions, and the difficulty in regulating emotions is closely related to their mental health. This article uses the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) to measure individuals’ positive psychological qualities in adapting to adversity, in order to study the psychological resilience and emotional self-regulation strategies of vocational college students. This study investigated the psychological resilience (PR) and emotional self-regulation (ESR) styles of high school students using different scales. In addition, correlation and regression studies were conducted on stress perception, PR, positive emotions, and mental health. The results indicate that vocational college students have a moderate level of public relations, and they are more inclined to use cognitive reevaluation as ESR. The PR of HVC students is positively and negatively correlated with positive and negative emotions, respectively. The PR of HVC students is positively correlated with cognitive reappraisal and negatively correlated with expression inhibition. There is no significant relationship between stress and its factors and expression inhibition.

Eliciting eudaimonic well-being in the tourism experiential space: Evidence from online reviews

Finding ways to help people deal with mental health problems and cultivate positive psychological qualities has become an important issue of common concern in modern society. Tourism, as one of the important industries that can provide feelings of well-being, has an inescapable responsibility to promote the development of positive psychological states. Thus, this study focused on tourists' online reviews, combining content analysis and multinomial logistic regression analysis to explore the structural characteristics of the tourism experience and the connotations of eudaimonic well-being in the eyes of tourists. The aim was to clarify the great potential of tourism for promoting a positive psychological state and reveal the effects of different elements of the tourism experience on eliciting eudaimonic well-being. The study provided valuable information for the construction of spatial environments that stimulate tourists’ eudaimonic well-being.

The Application of Horticultural Therapy in Shaping the Positive Psychological Qualities of Chinese Teachers' Children

As a special group of education objects, Chinese teachers' children are affected by the professional characteristics and ideas of their parents, and generally face greater psychological pressure. Their construction of positive psychological quality is relatively insufficient. The concept of horticultural therapy and experiential practical activities provide a new way to shape the positive psychological quality of Chinese teachers' children. It is particularly necessary to apply horticultural therapy to the children of Chinese teachers to improve their mental health. The combination of horticulture and mental health education of Chinese teachers' children helps to shape the positive and optimistic mentality of teachers' children, and helps to improve the communication ability and learning enthusiasm of teachers' children, which is of great value in shaping the positive psychological quality of Chinese teachers' children.

Positive psychological capital, post-traumatic growth, social support, and quality of life in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: A cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between positive psychological capital, post-traumatic growth, social support, and quality of life (QOL) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A cross-sectional study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from October 2022 to May 2023. A sample of 330 hospitalized SLE patients was selected for this study. The collected data included demographic information, the SLE disease activity index, the Positive Mental Capital Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Post-Traumatic Growth Scale, the Social Support Rating Scale, and the Chinese version of the Lupus Quality of Life Scale. The QOL score among the 330 SLE patients was measured as M(P25, P75) of 105 (83.00,124.00). Positive psychological capital, post-traumatic growth, and social support demonstrated significant positive correlations with the QOL in SLE patients (p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that literacy, disease level, disease duration, occupation, marital status, psychological capital, social support, and post-traumatic growth were influential factors associated with the QOL in SLE patients. Medical professionals should be attentive to the psychological well-being of SLE patients and should consider implementing early psychological interventions. These interventions are crucial for enhancing the QOL for individuals diagnosed with SLE.

Effect of digital storytelling intervention on resilience, self-efficacy and quality of life among patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A randomized controlled trial

ObjectiveTo verify and compare whether the digital stories could effectively improve the resilience, self-efficacy and quality of life of postoperative NSCLC patients. Materials and methodsA total of 90 participants at baseline were randomly assigned to two groups, 45 patients per group. The intervention group received the digital storytelling intervention which includes 4 videos on different topics: positive psychological quality, cultivating healthy living habits, establishing good social support, and insisting on scientific exercise, whereas the control group received only routine care. The resilience, self-efficacy, and quality of life were assessed at baseline (T0) (within 3 days before surgery), immediately after intervention (T1), one month after intervention (T2), and three months after intervention (T3). A linear mixed effects model was used to test the effects of the digital storytelling interventions on resilience, self-efficacy, and quality of life. ResultsThe intervention group reported significantly greater improvements in resilience, self-efficacy, and quality of life (all P < 0.001) at follow-ups than the control group after controlling for age, gender, and education level as covariates. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis results are consistent with the per-protocol, that overall time × group interactions effects were significantly different in resilience, self-efficacy, and quality of life (all P < 0.001). ConclusionThe digital storytelling intervention based on lung cancer survivors’ experience can effectively improve resilience, self-efficacy and quality of life in postoperative lung cancer patients. More comprehensive researches are needed to evaluate the longer-term impacts of the DST and its feasibility for those with more advanced cancer.

Post-stroke fatigue, hope and discharge readiness: A cross-sectional survey.

To explore the relationships among post-stroke fatigue, hope and discharge readiness in stroke patients, and to determine whether hope mediates the relationship between post-stroke fatigue and discharge readiness. In stroke patients, inadequate discharge readiness has been found to correlate with higher readmission and mortality rates. Although previous qualitative studies have confirmed the impact of fatigue on discharge readiness, few studies explore the impact of post-stroke fatigue and hope on discharge readiness of stroke patients. Consequently, the current research on this relationship and its underlying mechanisms is still quite limited. Cross-sectional study. Data were collected from 340 stroke patients. The research tools included demographic and disease characteristics, Discharge Readiness Assessment Scale for Stroke, Neurological Fatigue Index for Stroke and Herth Hope Index. The STROBE checklist was used to guide the presentation of this study. Discharge readiness was negatively correlated with post-stroke fatigue and positively correlated with hope. Additionally, post-stroke fatigue was negatively correlated with hope. Post-stroke fatigue had a direct negative effect on discharge readiness, and it can also generate indirect effects through hope. Hope was the partial mediator between post-stroke fatigue and discharge readiness, explaining 55.8% of the total effect. Discharge readiness of this population can be improved by reducing post-stroke fatigue and increasing hope. Therefore, effective management of post-stroke fatigue and hope will help improve discharge readiness. It is recommended that nursing staff should monitor the occurrence and development of post-stroke fatigue in stroke patients, dynamically evaluate the patient's level of hope, and pay attention to the important role of positive psychological qualities in the outcome of discharge. If medical staff can formulate corresponding intervention measures based on the influence path of discharge readiness, then the discharge readiness of stroke patients can be improved.

Mediation effect of hope on the relationship between inner strength and self-management in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Effective self-management can enhance a patient's quality of life and delay disease progression. However, motivating patients to adhere to self-management behavior following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains a challenge. With the robust development of positive psychology and interdisciplinary research, the role of psychology factors in patients' health behavior has increasingly garnered attention. This study, focusing on positive psychological qualities, aims to investigate the relationship between inner strength, hope, and self-management in patients post-PCI, and to analyze the mediating role of hope between inner strength and self-management. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 216 PCI patients from a tertiary hospital in Nanjing. Research instruments included a self-designed general information questionnaire, the Inner Strength Scale (ISS), the Herth Hope Index (HHI), and the Coronary Self-Management Scale (CSMS). T-test, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation analysis, and mediating effect test were utilized for statistical analysis. The average scores of the ISS, HHI, and CSMS were 81.46 ± 12.00, 35.94 ± 5.38, and 86.79 ± 14.84, respectively. Inner strength was positively correlated with hope and self-management (r = 0.867, r = 0.630, respectively; all P < 0.05), and hope was positively correlated with self-management (r = 0.671, P < 0.05). Moreover, hope had a complete mediating effect between inner strength and self-management (β = 0.630, P < 0.01). The inner strength, hope, and self-management of patients with PCI are at a moderate level. Inner strength primarily influences patients' self-management behavior through hope, suggesting that medical staff can target hope to help patients build confidence in life after illness, form and accumulate inner strength, thereby promoting their self-management and improving prognosis.

The relationship between pregnancy stress and mental health of the pregnant women: the bidirectional chain mediation roles of mindfulness and peace of mind.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pregnancy stress and mental health of the pregnant women, employing a positive psychology perspective. Specifically, the study sought to explore how the two positive psychological qualities of mindfulness and peace of mind may serve as potential mediators in the association between pregnancy stress and mental health of the pregnant women. Seven hundreds and thirteen pregnant women seeking care at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University were included in this study. The participants completed a self-report demographic questionnaire, as well as several validated scales including the Pregnancy Pressure Scale (PPS), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Peace of Mind Scale (PoMS), and Chinese Health Questionnaire (CHQ). The Amos 23.0 system was utilized to construct structural equation models. A total of 713 participants had an average age of 29.46 ± 4.81 years and an average gestational age of 24.26 ± 22.66 weeks. Out of the pregnant women, 163 (22.9%) experienced moderate or higher levels of pregnancy stress (PPS > 1), while 212 (29.7%) exhibited mental distress (CHQ > 3). Pregnancy stress exhibited a positive association with mental distress, while displaying negative associations with mindfulness and peace of mind. Mindfulness and peace of mind were negatively associated with mental distress. By employing structural equation modeling, the analysis revealed that mindfulness and peace of mind acted as partial mediators in the relationship between pregnancy stress and mental health. Furthermore, the identified models exhibited bidirectional sequential mediating pathways, suggesting that the pathways of mindfulness ↔ peace of mind mitigated the harmful influence of pregnancy stress on the mental health of pregnant women. This study adds to the current body of knowledge by investigating the relationships among mindfulness, peace of mind, pregnancy stress, and mental health in pregnant women. From a positive psychology framework, it provides valuable understanding of the intricate dynamics between pregnancy stress and protective factors of mental health. Consequently, interventions aimed at bolstering positive psychological qualities in pregnant women should prioritize the cultivation of mindfulness to foster peace of mind, or alternatively, the cultivation of peace of mind to enhance mindfulness, ultimately leading to improved mental health outcomes.

Gray correlation analysis of ideological and political education and college students’ ideological dynamics in new era colleges and universities

Abstract This study employs gray correlation analysis to process and evaluate the data pertaining to the effectiveness of ideological and political education in higher education institutions. Comparative analyses were conducted between experimental and control groups, utilizing group counseling to foster positive mental qualities. The data collected before and after the educational interventions were subjected to statistical analysis. The findings indicate significant variations in learning outcomes across different dimensions for certain student groups, offering educators a foundation for targeted interventions. Furthermore, the results from the positive psychological quality education experiment reveal that the experimental group exhibited a notable enhancement in positive psychological qualities post-intervention compared to the control group. Specifically, there was a substantial increase in the attributes of love, tolerance, perseverance, faith, and hope. For instance, the score for love in the experimental group improved from 2.45 to 3.36, an increase of 0.91, with the most pronounced growth observed in the qualities of faith and hope, which increased by 1.16. The application of gray correlation analysis in this context demonstrates its utility in assessing the effectiveness of ideological and political education, allowing for the refinement of educational focus and methodologies to enhance overall academic outcomes. This research provides pivotal strategies and directions for collegiate education, aiming to nurture a larger cohort of students equipped with positive psychological qualities and preparing them for successful future endeavors.

Research on the Integration of College Dance Curriculum and College Students’ Mental Health Education in the Perspective of New Media

Abstract In this paper, a Logistic regression model is established for the integration of dance and mental health in colleges and universities, and a decision tree is selected as the analysis algorithm. To further improve the model effect of the Logistic regression model, Logistic regression is combined with Noisy-or model to establish a fusion model based on LRANO model, which realizes the improvement of the model accuracy and the adaptation to the changing data. Finally, we set up a comparison experiment with or without college dance course study to explore the integration of college dance courses and college students’ mental health education with the help of the fusion model. After 12 weeks of dance course study, the six body shape indicators such as weight, thigh circumference, and body fat percentage of the subject college students changed with significant differences (P&lt;0.05). Improvement was seen in all physical fitness indicators, including sit-ups with a 58.6% increase. Among the 15 positive psychological quality factors of the subject college students, there was a significant increase in the cooperativeness, faith, and hope factors from 3.26 and 3.5 to 4.02 and 3.95.

Characterization of Red Civic Education in Colleges and Universities under Big Data Platform and Optimization of Teaching Methods

Abstract In the era of big data, the implementation of red ideological and political education has a positive and practical guide to the daily behavior habits of college students, and plays a positive guiding role. The lack of red ideological and political education is one of the main reasons for the abnormal behavior of college students. In this paper, the daily behavioral habits of college students are modeled, and according to the different distribution characteristics of individuals on campus activities, abnormal class determination and cluster analysis are carried out. The abnormality detection operator is used to detect the strange behavior of college students. In the study of abnormal behaviors of college students, the proportion of medium and low intensity of deviant behavior college students in sports behavior is as high as 73%, the proportion of high intensity in dietary behavior is 53%, and the proportion of high intensity in consumption behavior is also more than 50%. The psychological attention characteristic value of abnormal behavior college students is lower than that of average behavior college students, and the fluctuation is slightly more significant than that of intermediate behavior college students. Except for the forgiveness and modesty factors, the other 13 positive psychological quality factors of abnormal behavior college students are lower than those of average behavior college students, and the evaluation of the quality of political thinking is more inadequate than 80 points, which is in the range of poor and general assessment. Given the abnormal behavior of college students, the optimization direction of red Civics teaching method is proposed.

Implications of positive psychology in community service guidance practice: A group intervention for community children

Positive Psychology Interventions (PPIs) has been widely used in the world with children and has achieved good results. In recent years, PPIs has been carried out among college students in China and has achieved certain results. In contrast, there is little use in Chinese children. In order to verify the effect of PPIs on children in Chinese communities, so that we can provide an effective way to serve children in the community. This study adopted the method of experimental research, and compared the effect of PPIs on the improvement of positive psychological quality of children in communities by pre - and post-test. The results showed that through PPIs, the positive psychological quality of children in the community was significantly improved, and it was not affected by gender, grade and whether they came from a single parent family. But this improvement is only an overall improvement, not an improvement in every quality. Which quality can be improved depends on which PPIs program is used. Therefore, this study suggests that PPIs can be widely used in children in the community, but it needs to be measured before intervention, and the appropriate PPIs program should be accurately selected according to the measured results.

A Study on the Relationship Between Positive Psychological Quality and Academic Performance of College Students

In sharp contrast to the relevant research on positive psychological quality and academic performance in basic education, there is almost no relevant research in higher education in China. In order to explore the relationship between positive psychological quality and their academic performances of college students, and furthermore, whether positive psychological quality can affect their performances through the influence of academic self-efficacy and learning engagement, we conducted survey research among medical students in southwest and northeast China. We found that there are differences in positive psychological quality, academic self-efficacy, academic engagement and academic performance among students of different genders and grades. Girls' academic performance and engagement are higher than boys. The positive psychological quality of higher grades is better than that of lower grades. Positive psychological quality can affect academic performance alone, and the effect is more obvious when it is combined with academic self-efficacy. The positive psychological quality and academic self-efficacy can effectively affect learning engagement, which also can affect academic performance. However, learning engagement and academic self-efficacy have no mediating effect on positive psychological quality and academic performance.

Analysis of self-healing of depression by helping others in adolescents from the perspective of constructivism.

This study aims to explore the mechanism of psychological qualities constructed in helping others with depression and guide adolescents to actively participate in the practical activities of helping others to prevent and self-heal depression. Symptom self-rating scale, trait coping style questionnaire, and self-administered helper scale were employed. A total of 1,086 valid on-site questionnaires were collected from adolescents. The depression levels of adolescents were negatively correlated with helping beliefs, behaviors and total scores (r = -0.500, -0.401, and -0.530). Helping others had a significantly negative predictive effect on depression, effectively inhibiting depression levels. Although the positive coping style had an inhibitory effect on depression, it exerted no predictive effects on depression under the influence of helping others. In contrast, the negative coping style had a significantly positive predictive effect on depression. Proactively participating in helping others is an important way to prevent and eliminate depression in adolescents. They should be instructed to give full play to their initiatives to participate in social practice and assist others actively, thus constructing positive psychological qualities, improving mental health, and achieving self-healing of depression and self-help through helping others.

Relationships among Square Dance, Group Cohesion, Perceived Social Support, and Psychological Capital in 2721 Middle-Aged and Older Adults in China.

(1) Background: Aging is a global phenomenon, and China's aging is extensive and rapid and already at the middle to upper level worldwide. Promoting social interaction and increasing positive psychological qualities in individuals are key components in helping people adapt to the physical and mental changes of the aging process. Among them, how middle-aged and older adults improve their physical and mental health through physical activity is of great concern. (2) Methods: This study measured the physical activity of 2721 middle-aged and elderly square dance participants across China, and structural equation modeling was applied to explore the relationship between square dance exercise and group cohesion as well as the role of perceived social support and psychological capital. (3) Results: The results showed that (a) square dance exercise positively predicts group cohesion among middle-aged and older adults. (b) Perceived social support and psychological capital mediate the relationship between square dance exercise and group cohesion, and the mediating role consists of three pathways: perceived social support alone, psychological capital alone, and perceived social support-psychological capital chain mediation. (c) The mediating effect of psychological capital alone is greater than the mediating effect of perceived social support alone and the mediating effect of the perceived social support-psychological capital chain. (4) Conclusions: This study provides support for the theory and practice of square dance exercise and intervention guidance for increasing positive psychological qualities and group dynamic levels in middle-aged and older adults.
