The effects of negative life events on depression in middle-aged women: the mediating role of rumination and coping styles
Overview
This cross-sectional study examines how negative life events, rumination, and coping styles relate to depression and sleep quality in 327 middle-aged Chinese women. The research tests a chain mediation model based on Response Styles Theory to understand the pathways linking these factors. It reports statistical associations between negative life events, increased rumination, decreased positive coping, and higher levels of depressive symptoms and sleep disturbance.
