Relationship between social support and depression among military personnel stationed on islands and reefs:the mediating effect of negative coping style
Objective To explore the relationship between social support and depression among military personnel stationed on islands and reefs,as well as the mediating effect of negative coping style between the two variables.Methods In April 2019,the simple random sampling method was adopted to select 247 officers and soldiers stationed on certain islands and reefs.The military personnel social support scale,depression symptom scale,and simplified coping style questionnaire were employed to collect data.The correlation analysis,multiple linear regression analysis,and mediation analysis were adopted to analyze the data.Results The total scores of social support,negative coping style,and depression were positively correlated with each other.Low social support and passive coping style can positively predict depression,and both variables together can explain 43.71％of the total variation of depression(F=96.50,P＜0.001).Negative coping style played a partial mediating role between social support and depression,with an indirect effect value of 0.036(95％CI:0.014 3-0.066 3),accounting for 8.35％of the total effect.Conclusion Low social support can positively predict depression among military personnel stationed on islands and reefs,and it can also influence depression through the partial mediating effect of negative coping style.
