What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. cognitive emotion regulation scale

    The scale consists of 36 items, with 9 subscales and 4 items in each subscale. Each subscale receives a value between 4-20 points and the scale is a 5-point Likert type scale (1: Never, 2: Sometimes, 47 3: Regularly, 4: Frequently, 5: Always).Evaluation is made with the scores obtained from the subscales. A higher score from a subscale indicates greater use of the cognitive emotion regulation strategy determined by that subscale.

    Time frame: Two months

  2. Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale

    The scale consists of 21 items, with 3 sub-dimensions (depression, anxiety and stress) and 7 items in each sub-dimension. The scale is designed as a self-evaluation scale with a 4-point Likert structure scored between 0-4. (0- Never, 1- Sometimes and occasionally, 2- Quite often, 3- Always). The scoring range of the scale for depression is: 0-4 normal, 5-6 mild, 7-10 moderate, 11-13 severe, 14 and above very severe; for anxiety: 0-3 normal, 4-5 mild, 6-7 moderate, 8-9 severe, and 10 and above very severe; For stress: 0-7 is normal, 8-9 is mild, 10-12 is moderate, 13-16 is severe, 17 and above is very severe.

    Time frame: Two months
