Grief cognitions and

cognitive-emotional regulation

associated with romantic breakup

distress among college students

A. Mirsu-Paun

Bucharest, Romania

Introduction

Individuals manage differently the experience of a

romantic breakup [RB]. These differences may in part be related

to the use of different cognitive-emotional regulation strategies

[CERS]. Also, global negative beliefs and catastrophic misinterpre-

tations regarding the RB may contribute to the emotional distress

(Boelen and Reijntjes, 2009).

Objectives

To explore the associations between CERS, grief cogni-

tions related to RBs, and depression and suicidal ideation/behaviors

in a sample of college students.

Aims

To conduct regression analyses to predict depression, anxi-

ety, hostility, and suicide behaviors from CERS and grief cognitions

(as independent variables).

Methods

Cross-sectional, self-report data was collected from

359 college students who experienced a RB. The assessments

used were: Cognitive-Emotional Regulation Questionnaire- Short

Form (Garnefski et al., 2002); the Grief Cognitions Questionnaire

adjusted to grief after RBs (Boelen et al., 2003); the subscales of

Depression, Anxiety, and Hostility of the Counseling Center Assess-

ment of Psychological Symptoms-62; and the Suicide Behaviors

Questionnaire-Revised, Osman et al., 2001).

Results

Past suicide thoughts or attempts were predicted

by Other-Blame; self-reported likelihood of future suicide

attempt was predicted by Self-Blame, Other-Blame, and Posi-

tive Reappraisal, Grief Cognitions-Future, and Grief Cognitions-

Appropriateness. Depression was predicted by all cognitive-

emotional regulation subscales except Acceptance and Perspective,

and by RB grief cognitions (self, future, self-blame, others, and

perceived appropriateness of own grief reaction).

Conclusions

Clinical assessment to evaluate at-risk young adults

after RBs could incorporate evaluations of cognitions regarding the

RB and self-blaming, appropriateness of one’s own grief reaction,

and thoughts about the future.

Introduction

Life expectancy of patients with severe mental ill-

ness (SMI) is two decades shorter than that of general population.

The most important cause of death are cardiovascular diseases

(CVD).

Objectives

There is a need for CVD risk screening tools develop-

ment and validation in the context of the Czech Republic.

Aims

Methodological approach to a CVD risk screening, risk

stratification and specific life-style interventions development is

presented. In a context of the psychiatric hospital with c. 7000

admissions per year.

Methods

There are no concise data on CVD risk of psychiatric

patients in the Czech Republic so cross-sectional analysis of one

day hospitalized patients was performed.

Results

A sample of 1056 pts. was obtained. Database allowed

extraction data on CVD risk factors (RF): diagnosis, age, sex, BMI

and blood pressure (BP). The most common diagnosis were F20

and F10. Multicriterial analysis according to diagnosis (frequency

of highest BMI and BP) showed theworst results in the F20 followed

by F10 group. Would we define the CVD RF as BMI

30, age

65,

sBP

140, dBP

90, then no RF is present in 368, one in 238, two in

191, three in 92 and four RF in 33 pts. Two step screening protocol

was developed – SOMA score. Variables and cut-offs for positivity

were set based on the results.

Conclusion

Methodological process of SOMA score screening is

presented as well as consecutive health care interventions.

Introduction

Research has long suggested that care giving can

be a stressful role that adversely affects physical and mental well-

being of those who provided care. The effects of combining work

and care giving can be negative and may have different outcomes

on caregivers.

Objectives

This study examined the effects of gender, kinship and

work-related experiences on the emotional state of employed care-

givers.

Aim

This study allows us to gain a better understanding of the

influence of gender and kinship on the emotional state of working

caregivers.

Method

We have carried out a cross sectional study on 81

employed caregivers of elderly dependent. Usingmultivariate anal-

ysis of covariance (2

×

2

×

2MANCOVA), we examined themain and

interaction effects of gender (male vs. female), kinship (spouses vs.

adult children), and two types of work-related experiences (work-

caregiving conflict and positivework experience; both of themwith

two levels: high vs. low) on burden, depression, negative and pos-

itive affect, and role overload.

Results

We found that women caregivers in this study experi-

ence higher levels of burden, negative affect, and role overload

than their men counterparts. However, in the case of kinship,

this variable has not been shown to be related to a worse emo-

tional state on employed caregivers. Higher levels of work-care

giving conflict were associated with greater emotional distress in

caregivers. Regarding to positive work experiences, significant dif-

ferences were only found in positive affect.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that gender is a central factor

that influences emotional distress in employed caregivers in the

two types of work-related experiences.
