BACKGROUND: Nurses have a challenging job and encounter more stressful situations. Inresponse to these situations, they demonstrate adaptive or maladaptive cognitive emotion regulationstrategies (CERS). As there is a lack of literature regarding the factors predicting the selection ofCERS , the present study aimed to investigate the role of age, sex, marital status, working experience,type of ward, and education level in predicting these strategies in Iranian nurses.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive correlational study was conducted to examine predictivefactors’ emotion regulation strategies used by 193 nurses who worked at six hospitals under thesupervision of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2018. The study population were selectedby stratified random sampling method. Data were collected by two questionnaires, one demographicquestionnaire and the other was Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire conducted byGarnefski (α = 0.8). Data analysis was performed using correlation and multiple linear regression.RESULTS: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the “type of ward”and “age” with adaptive and maladaptive strategies. In the multiple linear regression model, twovariables of age (P = 0.03) and type of ward (P = 0.04) were able to predict 23% of variance CERS.CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of this study, health‑care providers and hospital managersshould pay attention to factors related to adaptive and maladaptive CERS.
