Abstract

Introduction: Personality disorders are a group of mental disorders characterized by maladaptive patterns of behavior, cognition, and stable internal experience. The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of anxiety tolerance and cognitive emotion regulation concerning childhood injuries and dependent personality disorders symptoms in nurses working in hospitals in Shiraz in 1399.
Methods: In this descriptive-correlational cross-sectional study, 291 nurses selected by simple cluster sampling at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences participated in the survey in 1398. The instruments used in the present study included the Childhood Injury Questionnaire, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), the Millon-3 Clinical Multi-Axis Questionnaire (MCMI-III), and the DTS Distress Tolerance Questionnaire. To analyze the statistical data, the authors used the Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient by SPSS software version 16. They also used the structural equation model in AMOS-22 software to determine the fit of the studied model to analyze the path of observable variables.
Results: The results showed that general injuries and childhood physical and sexual abuse could indirectly affect obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (p <0.05) and emotional abuse during childhood.
Conclusion: The present study results showed that abused nurses during childhood are more likely to show obsessive-compulsive personality disorder symptoms in adulthood.
