Shift work nurses suffered great stress and emotion dysregulation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interpersonal emotion regulation has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach, often facilitated through confiding. It has been suggested that medical staff benefit from confiding, with the act of reflecting on the social support gained from confiding being associated with higher well-being. Consequently, we hypothesized that thinking about the social support derived from confiding about work-related hassles could enhance emotion regulation and well-being in shift work nurses. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the intervention "thinking about the social support obtained from confiding about work-related hassles" on shift work nurses' emotion regulation and self-perceived well-being. An online randomized controlled trial was conducted with 66 shift work nurses, including 34 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group, to assess the impact of an 8-week confiding intervention focused on thinking about the social support obtained from confiding. The results indicated that the intervention significantly improved the interpersonal emotion regulation of shift work nurses in the experimental group compared to the control group. In terms of intrapersonal emotion regulation, the intervention appeared to reduce the cognitive reappraisal in the intervention group; however, there was no significant difference in cognitive reappraisal or expressive inhibition between the intervention group and control group. Furthermore, self-rated general health and sleep quality showed significant improvement in the intervention group compared to pre-test levels, but no significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups. In conclusion, the online confiding intervention effectively enhanced interpersonal emotion regulation among shift work nurses. However, its effects on intrapersonal emotion regulation were not significant. Similarly, while participants in the intervention group reported improved self-rated general health and sleep quality, these improvements did not significantly differ from those in the control group.
在新冠疫情期间，轮班护士承受着巨大的压力和情绪失调。人际情绪调节已成为一种有前景的治疗方法，通常通过倾诉来促进。有人提出，医务人员能从倾诉中受益，对倾诉所获得的社会支持进行反思的行为与更高的幸福感相关。因此，我们假设，思考因倾诉工作中的麻烦事而获得的社会支持可以增强轮班护士的情绪调节能力和幸福感。本研究旨在评估“思考因倾诉工作中的麻烦事而获得的社会支持”这一干预措施对轮班护士情绪调节和自我感知幸福感的影响。对66名轮班护士进行了一项在线随机对照试验，其中实验组34人，对照组32人，以评估一项为期8周的专注于思考倾诉所获社会支持的倾诉干预措施的影响。结果表明，与对照组相比，该干预措施显著改善了实验组轮班护士的人际情绪调节能力。在个人情绪调节方面，该干预措施似乎降低了干预组的认知重评；然而，干预组和对照组在认知重评或表达抑制方面没有显著差异。此外，与测试前水平相比，干预组的自我评定总体健康状况和睡眠质量有显著改善，但实验组和对照组之间没有观察到显著差异。总之，在线倾诉干预有效地增强了轮班护士的人际情绪调节能力。然而，其对个人情绪调节的影响并不显著。同样，虽然干预组的参与者报告自我评定的总体健康状况和睡眠质量有所改善，但这些改善与对照组的改善没有显著差异。
