The effect of tidal model-based emotion regulation nursing interventions on recovery in individuals with depression:...

The development of emotion regulation skills is crucial for supporting recovery among individuals experiencing mental illness. Nurses play a vital role in this process. However, there appears to be no theoretical basis to support the effectiveness of nursing care in improving emotion regulation skills based on evidence.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of Tidal Model-Based Emotion Regulation Interventions (TMBERI) on emotion regulation skills, depression levels, recovery and nursing outcomes in individuals with depression.

This parallel group randomized controlled trial utilizes a pre-post-test design, with a total of 46 individuals. The intervention group received Tidal Model-Based Emotion Regulation Interventions in addition to routine control.

After TMBERI, a statistically significant difference was found in the mean scores RAS (Z = -4.617, p < 0.05), DERS (Z = -4.944, p < 0.05), HDRS (Z = -4.534, p < 0.05). Also, a statistically significant difference was found in NOC1208, NOC1409 and NOC1204 mean scores (Z = -4.562, p < 0.05; Z = -3.532, p < 0.05; Z = -4.540, p < 0.05, respectively). A significant negative correlation was observed between DERS and RAS (r = -0.796, p < 0.05).

TMBERI is effective in increasing recovery, decreasing the level of depression, and the difficulties in emotion regulation in individuals with depression. This study highlights the potential effectiveness of emotion regulation interventions based on the nursing model in clinics. Nurses can use emotion regulation interventions while providing care for individuals with mental illness.
