Abstract

Background and Aim: Stress is one of the major medical and social issues of the day. Stress in the general sense is a factor that always upsets our physical and mental balance and by creating psychological problems, reduces our efficiency in various aspects of life-work, family and social. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotional adjustment and cognitive regulation of emotion in stressful.
Methods: This research was conducted by descriptive-correlation method with applied nature in 2021. The statistical population included 227 nurses of the Army and Naval hospitals in Shiraz. Based on Cochran's formula, 143 nurses were selected as the sample. The available simple sampling method was selected. The measurement tool in this study was a standardized questionnaire in which the 5-point Likert scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree has been used. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of reliability of the questionnaire was calculated to be 0.88 and its (quantitative) validity was obtained using the opinion of experts. Spearman test was used to analyze the data and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS-22 software.
Results: The results showed that the independent variable of emotional adjustment, cognitive emotion regulation, stress and nervousness was 4.76±1.06, 4.23±1.11 and 4.81±1.08, respectively. Spearman correlation coefficient between emotional adaptation and stress was -0.57 and between cognitive regulation of emotion and stress was -0.46 at a significant level (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that stress and nervous tension in nurses are reduced by increasing emotional adjustment and cognitive regulation of emotion. Nurses can increase their ability to tolerate failure by increasing their ability to control emotions, establish good relationships and understand others, and cause reduced stress and nervous tension.
