Developmental characteristics of emotional regulation strategies and their value for predicting depression in military personnel in high-altitude regions
To explore the characteristics of the longitudinal changes of emotional regulation strategies and their value in predicting depression in military personnel serving in high-altitude regions.
Methods
2
We followed up 4 665 military personnel serving in high-altitude regions along the Qinghai-Tibet Supply Line for 3 consecutive years (2016-2018). Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Armymen (AERTQ)
Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS)
and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were used to assess the strategies of emotion regulation and the depressive state of these individuals. After excluding the individuals withdrawn from the study (due to mobilizations for missions
discharge from service or personal reasons)
we recruited 202 subjects for data analysis.
Results
2
Among the military personnel
the scores for emotional regulation strategies were the highest for self-comfort
followed by seeking emotional help
cognitive attention and behavioral inhibition (
P
<
0.05); the scores were relatively stable over the 3-year period of the study. The scores for emotion regulation strategies increased year by year
and the score for enhanced emotion regulation recorded a significantly greater increase than that of weakened emotion regulation (
P
<
0.05). The degree of environmental adaptation was important factors affecting the strategies of emotional regulation (
P
<
0.05). The score for cognitive attention was capable of predicting a depressive state within 2 years
and the score of self-comfort had a predictive value within 1 year (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Among the military personnel serving in high-altitude regions
emotional regulation shows a transition from a predominantly weakened to an enhanced strategy
suggesting a negative trend of changes. Adaptability affect the strategies adopted for emotional regulation
which can be predictive of the depressive state in these military personnel.
