Abstract
Background: This research analyzes the cognitive emotional regulation strategies used by nurses, identifying the adaptive and maladaptive strategies with precedents by Sanchez Ramos (2016), Lhasa (2014), Fernandez (2009). Other studies have focused on the reliability and validity of the Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ).
Methods: The study was descriptive, transversal, quantitative; carried out between 2014 and 2018, in Asunción. The sample was non-probabilistic of 350 participants, from 20 years onwards, whom has been there for more than a year. The instrument used was the CERQ validated for the population of Córdoba, Argentina (Moriondo, Palma, Medrano and Murillo, 2013); the data was processed with SPSS, version 22.0 and ethical considerations were taken into account.
Results: The age range was 20 to 67 years, 80% were women and 20% men, mostly married (44%). The area of clinical medicine (42%), from pediatrics (28%).The results focus on three strategies: catastrophizing, positive reinterpretation and positive targeting. Statistically significant differences were found in Acceptance and Blaming Other strategies. The males obtained a higher average in the results.
Conclusion: There is increased focus on three strategies: catastrophizing, positive reinterpretation and positive targeting. These are effective to lessen the impact of a negative event; but they need specific training that allows them to develop effective strategies to reduce the effect. Poor use of emotional regulation strategies creates greater vulnerability to the occurrence of adverse events and expands the possibilities of developing psychopathological symptoms.
