Objectives: We aimed to increase the understanding of emotion regulation (ER) and depression in older residents.

Methods: A sample of depressed and non-depressed nursing home residents (N = 164, M = 82.63) were compared to younger patients with depression (N = 163, M = 37.4) and a non-clinical student sample (N = 635, M = 23.82). The Affective Style Questionnaire (ASQ), and in the older adults, cognitive capacity, access to people, and a facet of mindfulness were assessed. With two MANCOVAs ER was compared between the depressed and non-depressed participants.

Results: Depressed and non-depressed individuals differed significantly regrading Adjusting and Tolerating after controlling for age, with an interaction significant for Tolerating (p = .034). Access to people and monitoring of experience were significant predictors of ER in residents.

Conclusions: Interventions that include ER for older patients in nursing homes as a possibility to reduce age related stereotypes are discussed.

Aims: Depression is a prevalent, burdensome, and difficult mental health disorder to treat. Significant heterogeneity in clinical characteristics and course of depression hinders treatment success. Efforts to identify more homogeneous subgroups of depression could reduce heterogeneity of depression and therefore improve treatment development and randomized clinical trial outcomes.

Background: Comorbid depression, frequently observed in heart disease patients, has detrimental effects on mental health and may exacerbate cardiac conditions. The objective of this study was to create and validate a risk prediction nomogram specifically for comorbid depression in older adult patients suffering from heart disease.

Methods: The 2018 data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) was analyzed and 2,110 older adult patients with heart disease aged 60 and above were included in the study.

Objective: This study aims to explore the correlation between physical exercise, rumination, and depressive symptoms in college students, as well as to investigate the potential pathways through which physical exercise may impact depressive symptoms. This exploration offers valuable insights for the development of clinical exercise interventions.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, with 2,902 participants recruited via convenience sampling.

This study was aimed to evaluate whether the efficacy of invoking anti-depressive self-statements to cope with depressed mood can be enhanced for depressed individuals by systematically guiding them to amplify the expression of conviction in their voice. Accordingly, we recruited N = 144 participants (48 clinically depressed individuals, 48 sub-clinically depressed individuals, and 48 non-depressed individuals). Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental or control condition.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how heart rate variability (HRV) relates to depression, aiming to develop machine learning models to assist in diagnosing depression.
  • Data was collected from 465 outpatients, who were split into training and test groups to validate various machine learning models, including logistic regression and XGBoost.
  • The XGBoost model outperformed others in predicting depression, with an excellent area under the curve (AUC) value, suggesting that HRV could serve as a useful biomarker for identifying depression.
