摘要

背景：在墨西哥，抑郁症是主要的心理健康问题之一，大学生尤其容易受到影响。最近的研究探索了情绪因素与年轻人抑郁之间的关系。本研究旨在探讨乐观情绪是否能缓冲职业倦怠、压力和应对之间的间接关系，以减轻年轻大学生抑郁症状的负面影响。我们假设乐观会缓和压力和情绪耗竭对抑郁症的负面影响。方法：墨西哥某大学497名学生参与，其中女性63%，男性36.6%，年龄18 ~ 29岁。学生们完成了抑郁、情绪量表和乐观量表的筛查。结果：情绪衰竭和压力是抑郁的直接预测因子。虽然应对策略没有直接影响，但乐观情绪在压力和抑郁之间起中介作用。结论：这些研究结果表明，促进大学生的乐观情绪可能是减少抑郁症状的有效策略，特别是在社会情感脆弱的背景下。

Trajectories of Emotional Exhaustion and Their Contribution to Depression: Optimism as a Buffer in Young People.

Background: In Mexico, depression is one of the main mental health problems, with university students being particularly susceptible. Recent studies have explored the relationship between emotional factors and depression in young people. Our study investigates whether optimism buffers the indirect relationship between burnout, stress and coping in mitigating the negative effects on depressive symptoms in young university students. We hypothesized that optimism would moderate the negative impacts of stress and emotional exhaustion on depression.

Methods: In total, 497 students of a university in Mexico participated (63% female and 36.6% male), ranging in age from 18 to 29. Students completed screenings for depression, emotional scales and optimism measures.

Results: Emotional exhaustion and stress are direct predictors of depression. Although coping strategies did not have a direct effect, optimism mediated the relationship between stress and depression.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that promoting optimism in university students could be an effective strategy to reduce depressive symptoms, especially in the context of socioemotional vulnerability.

期刊介绍： Brain Sciences (ISSN 2076-3425) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes and short communications in the areas of cognitive neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, molecular and cellular neuroscience, neural engineering, neuroimaging, neurolinguistics, neuropathy, systems neuroscience, and theoretical and computational neuroscience. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
