“…The participants' psychological resilience score was high, which was consistent with the research by Serc ße et al (2021), showing that the objects of this study possessed good adaptability in daily life. Furthermore, the participants' positive coping styles score was higher than negative coping styles, which was similar to the research by Pelekanakis et al (2022), demonstrating that our study sample population had a more positive attitude and problem-solving style during coping with stress. The SWB score was higher than the domestic norm (5.1159 AE 2.0282) (Yao et al 1995), and the difference was statistically significant, showing that the positive psychological quality of the undergraduate nursing students was generally in good condition.…”

This study aimed to explore the effect of prosocial behaviours on Chinese undergraduate nursing students' subjective well-being (SWB) and examine the roles of psychological resilience and coping styles. The sample for this study included 683 nursing students from two undergraduate universities in Henan Province, China. SWB, prosocial behaviours, psychological resilience, and coping styles were assessed by the Index of Well-Being, the Prosocial Behavioural Tendency Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, respectively. We adopted Pearson's correlation analysis and the PROCESS Macro Model 81 in regression analysis to explore the relationships among prosocial behaviours, psychological resilience, coping styles, and SWB. Prosocial behaviours of undergraduate nursing students had a positive predictive effect on SWB; psychological resilience and coping styles both were the mediating variable between prosocial behaviours and undergraduate nursing students' SWB; psychological resilience and coping styles played a chain mediating role between the prosocial behaviours and SWB of undergraduate nursing students. The results indicated that prosocial behaviours not only directly affected the SWB of undergraduate nursing students but also affected the SWB of undergraduate nursing students via psychological resilience and coping styles. These results offer certain theoretical support and guidance for the research and improvement of undergraduate nursing students' SWB and emphasize the importance of interventions to increase prosocial behaviours, improve psychological resilience, promote positive coping styles, and address negative coping styles.

“…Suicidal behavior occurs when an individual with the diathesis is exposed to stress, which determines the behavior's timing [9]. The individuals who experience more stressful life events are associated with increased severity of depressive symptoms, as well as increased risk for suicide [10,11]. A strong link between stressful life events and suicide risk in patients with MDD has been consistently demonstrated that the number and severity of stressful life events have a quantity-response relationship with suicide risk [12,13].…”

Background Despite widespread acknowledgment of the impact of stressful life events on suicide risk, the understanding of the psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between stressful life events and suicide risk in major depressive disorder (MDD) remain unclear. This study aim to examine whether the distress tolerance mediates the relationship between the stressful life events and suicide risk in patients with MDD. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out among 125 Chinese patients with MDD, mean age was 27.05 (SD = 0.68) and 68.8% was females. The 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating scale (HAMD-17), the validated Chinese version of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) suicide module, Life Events Scale (LES) and Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) were utilized to evaluate patient’s depressive symptoms, stressful life events, levels of distress tolerance, and suicide risk, respectively. Mediation analyses was used to test the mediation effect of distress tolerance on the relationship between stressful life events and suicide risk. Results 75.2% patients with MDD had suicide risk. Pearson correlation analysis showed that stressful life events was positively correlated with suicide risk(r = 0.182, p<0.05). Stressful life events(r=-0.323, p<0.01) and suicide risk(r=-0.354, p<0.01) were negatively correlated with distress tolerance. Mediation analyses showed that the direct path from stressful life events to suicide risk was not significant (B = 0.012, 95% confidence interval (CI) [-0.017, 0.042]). Stressful life events can affect suicide risk indirectly through distress tolerance (B = 0.018, 95% CI [0.007, 0.031]), and the mediating effect accounts for 60.0% of the total effect. Conclusion Distress tolerance completely plays a mediating role between stressful life events and suicide risk. Further suicide prevention and intervention strategies should focus on increasing levels of distress tolerance in patients with MDD.
