OBJECTIVE: To explore relationship between stressful life events and suicidal ideation of left-behind children and mediating effect of negative cognitive emotion regulation.
METHODS: From July to August in 2015, 500 left-behind children from 5 middle schools in Debao Country and Napo Country in Guangxi were selected by convenience sampling method. They were investigated by Adolescent Self-rating Life Event Checklist(ASLEC), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(CERQ), and Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation(PANSI). A total of 500 questionnaires were sent out, 454 valid questionnaires were collected and the effective response rate was 90.8%. By constructing structural equation model, mediating effect analysis was performed by using AMOS 21.0 statistical software.
RESULTS: The scores of stressful life events, negative cognitive emotion regulation and suicide ideation of the 454 left-behind children were(1.6±0.7), (2.6±0.5), and(1.9±0.6) respectively. The score of stressful life events of male left-behind children(1.6±0.7) was significantly higher than that of female left-behind children(1.5±0.6)(P<0.05); the score of stressful life events of high-school left-behind children(1.6±0.7) was significantly higher than that of middle-school left-behind children(1.4±0.7)(P<0.05). The stressful life events scores were linearly positively correlated with negative cognitive emotion regulation and suicidal ideation scores among left-behind children(P<0.001); there was also a positive linear correlation between negative cognitive emotion regulation scores and suicidal ideation scores(P<0.001). The score of suicidal ideation of left-behind children could be predicted by the score of stressful life events(β=0.31, P<0.001); however, after adding the mediating variable negative emotion regulation, the score of suicidal ideation could not be predicted by stressful life event score(β=0.01, P=0.894).
CONCLUSION: Negative cognitive regulation has a complete mediating effect on stressful life events and suicidal ideation. The stressful life events indirectly affect the suicidal ideation of the left-behind children through negative cognitive emotion regulation. Copyright © 2017 by the Chinese General Practice.
