Rumination as Predictor of Anxiety, Depression, Stress and Affect among People with Traumatic Amputation in Pakistan
Abstract
Researchers have depicted relationship between rumination and other psychological challenges, but rumination has never been examined as predictor of psychological illnesses among people with traumatic amputation. This research examines the possible role of rumination in predicting anxiety, depression, stress, negative affect (NA) and positive affect (PA) among (N = 200) people with traumatic amputation. Results revealed that rumination significantly predicted depression, anxiety, stress and negative affect (NA), while negative affect was found to mediate between rumination and stress, anxiety, and depression. In addition, the results revealed that the sub-dimensions of rumination, brooding and intrusion positively predicted negative outcomes while the instrumentality positively predicted positive affect. The present study suggests that early intervention in incidences of traumatic amputation might inhibit development of psychological problems.
