Description

The objective of the study was to determine the association between depression and persistent anger, and the effect of the cognitive characteristics in order to develop a model of depression. The survey was conducted with a total of 572 registered and practical nurses working in two public psychiatric hospitals and five private psychiatric hospitals. Every nurse was asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire and return it by mail.<br> Respondents were categorized into two groups according to the CES-D scores, that is, one group of respondents with scores higher than the mean value and another group with scores lower than the mean value. Scores of "JIBT-R20," "persistent anger," and "hostile cognition" were compared between the two groups to develop a causal model using structural equation modeling based on correlation analysis and earlier literature. Fit indices for the model were acceptable with GFI = 1.000 and AGFI = .996, and any path in the model was significant at a level of 0.1%. Stronger irrational beliefs were associated with enhanced hostile cognition, increased proneness to persistent anger, and higher levels of automatic thought and depression. Furthermore, increased proneness to persistent anger was also found to be associated with higher levels of automatic thought and depression.
