Background and Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system affecting the brain and spinal cord functions, with mild to severe physical, visual, cognitive, and emotional responses. The present research aimed to predict psychological well-being based on mindfulness and emotion regulation strategies among patients with MS. Materials and Methods: In this correlational study, 80 patients with MS were selected by the random sampling method in the academic year of 2018-19 in Shiraz, Iran. To collect the necessary data, three questionnaires were used as the tools of study, namely the Scales of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB), Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). The gathered data were analyzed in AMOS software (version 23) using the multivariable kurtosis coefficient of Mardia. Results: The results of this research implied that there was a significant relationship among the FFMQ dimensions (i.e., observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience, and non-reactivity to inner experience) and the ERQ dimensions (reappraisal and suppression) with the SPWB dimensions (i.e., personal growth, self-acceptance, positive relationships with others, life satisfaction, spirituality, and pleasure and optimism) (P<0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that training mindfulness and emotion regulation strategies are applicable for patients with MS to improve their psychological well-being components in their lives. Future researchers are recommended to consider other patient groups with other diseases. It is suggested to apply the experimental research designs to promote psychological well-being.

Regulation Strategies

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the general population’s life worldwide. People may spend more time on social media because of policies like “work at home”. Using a cross-sectional dataset collected through an online survey in February 2020, in China, we examined (1) the relationships between social media activities and people’s mental health status and (2) the moderation effect of emotional-regulation strategies. The sample included people aged ≥18 years from 32 provinces and regions in China (N = 3159). The inferential analyses included a set of multiple linear regressions with interactions. Our results showed that sharing timely, accurate, and positive COVID-19 information, reducing excessive discussions on COVID-19, and promoting caring online interactions rather than being judgmental, might positively associate with the general public’s psychological well-being. Additionally, the relationships between social media activities and psychological well-being varied at different emotion-regulation strategy levels. Adopting the cognitive reappraisal strategy might allay the adverse relationships between certain social media activities and mental health indicators. Our findings expanded the theory of how social media activities can be associated with a human being’s mental health and how it can interact with emotion-regulation strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Memasuki masa lansia, individu mengalami banyak perubahan pada kondisi fisik, sosial, spiritual dan psikologisnya. Lansia yang tidak siap dengan perubahan tersebut akan rentan terhadap stres. Kondisi yang demikian dapat menurunkan kesejahteraan psikologis (psychological well-being) pada lansia.  Untuk  menangani  permasalahan  tersebut, lansia perlu mengembangkan sifat mindfulness  (kemampuan untuk berfokus pada apa yang terjadi saat ini) didalam dirinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah trait mindfulness berperan secara signifikan terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis pada lansia. Sampel penelitian  ialah orang-orang yang sudah tidak bekerja dan berdomisili di wilayah Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, dan Bekasi (n = 120). Penelitian  ini  menggunakan  adaptasi  skala  Five  Facet  Mindfulness Questionnaire untuk  mengukur  trait  mindfulness  dan  Scale  of Psychological Well Being untuk mengukur kesejahteraan psikologis. Hasil analisis regresi ganda menunjukkan empat dari lima dimensi trait mindfulnessberperan   signifikan   terhadap   beberapa   dimensi kesejahteraan psikologis.
