Research On The Influence Of Qi-depression Constitution, Mindfulness And Non-adaptive Cognition On Depression Of College Students

Objective: Depression is one of the most common emotional disorders.According to the year of disability loss,depression is the most common cause of disability.In recent years,there are more and more literatures about the incidence of depression among college students in China.About 30% of them are in the state of depression.Previous studies have found that some biased constitution of TCM(such as Qi depression constitution)is an important pathogenic factor of depression.However,most of these studies are correlational researches,so it is difficult to reveal its internal specific mechanism.Therefore,this study will further explore the specific mechanism of Qi depression constitution on Depression,which has a very important role in the effective prevention and intervention of depression.Methods: In this study,891 college students were investigated with Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale,Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire,Non-adaptive Cognitive Scale and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale.Description analysis,independent-sample t-test,ANOVA and other methods were adopted to investigated the relationship between the degree of Qi depression constitution and depression of college students using SPSS18.0.In addition,we used Mplus7.4 data modeling and analysis software to construct a moderated mediating model,and explored the mediating mechanism of Non-adaptive cognition between Qi depression constitution and depression and the moderating role of mindfulness in it.Results:(1)The incidence of depression was 34.8%.There was no difference in the incidence of depression compared with the national urban norm of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale.Chi square test showed that depression was related to gender,origin and grade of college students.(2)After controlling gender,source and grade,Qi depression constitution has a significant predictive effect on depression of college students;(3)The mediation analysis that Qi depression constitution indirectly affects depression through mediating effect of non adaptive cognition.(4)The moderated mediation analysis further shows that mindfulness moderated the first stage and residual direct stage of the mediating effect of "Qi depression constitution ? Non-adaptive cognition ? Depression".Conclusion: Qi depression constitution is the risk factor of depression.Qi depressionconstitution can affect Depression through the mediation of Non-adaptive cognition.High mindfulness level can effectively reduce the occurrence of depression and regulate the relationship between Qi depression constitution and non-adaptive cognition and depression.The conclusion of this study is helpful to reveal the effect of Qi depression constitution on Depression and its specific mechanism,and to provide an important basis for the theoretical research and intervention of depression.
