Description
Ping-Zhen Lin leads a 2026 survey study of anxiety and depression patterns among nurses in China, sorted by how they manage emotions. Nurses face high rates of both conditions. The team grouped 1,436 nurses by two habits: rethinking situations to feel better, and holding feelings in.
Five profiles emerged, from low regulation to high regulation. The flexible group, high on rethinking and low on holding in, reported the lightest symptoms. Two middle groups reported the heaviest. Symptom network maps differed by profile, with uncontrollable worry and restlessness acting as core and bridge symptoms in several groups. Sad mood and suicidal thinking were central only in some profiles. The authors argue support should be tailored to a nurse's regulation style, not one size for all.
