Abstract

Purpose: The present study aimed to determine the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between covid-19 anxiety and students' HRQoL. Method: In a descriptive cross-sectional study, among 18 thousand students in Guilan province in the winter of 2021, 369 students were randomly selected and voluntarily responded to the Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36), the Emotion Regulation Skills Questionnaire (ERSQ), and the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS), which was adjusted online. Data processing was performed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and SEM technique by AMOS-24 software. Results: There was a significant negative relationship between coronavirus anxiety and HRQoL and between coronavirus anxiety and emotion. The mediator model achieved a good fit (CFI = 0.944, RMSEA = 0.074). Bootstrap analysis in the MACRO program of SPSS-24 software revealed that emotion regulation does not play a significant mediating role in the relationship between corona disease anxiety and HRQoL (p = 0.1998). Conclusion: Based on the results, it is suggested that the important role of anxiety on HRQoL be considered and therapists and those in charge of macro-health policies put on the agenda the implementation of enterprises in the face with health conditions, the issue of coping with anxiety in their outcomes.
