Objective: To explore the relationship between attachment and negative affect, and the moderator role of mindfulness. Methods: A total of 514 adults (older than 18 years old) were selected. They were assessed with the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21), Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory (ECR), and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). General model analysis, regression analysis and simple slope analysis were employed to analyze the moderating effect of mindfulness. Results: The DASS-21 scores were positively correlated with the scores of attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance (r = 0.52, 0.32, Ps <0.01). The scores of DASS-21, attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance were negatively correlated with the MAAS scores (r = -0.51, -0.49, -0.32, Ps <0.01). Moderating effect analysis showed that the scores of attachment anxiety, MASS, and their interaction were associated with the DASS-21 scores in the relationship between attachment anxiety and negative affect (β=0.35,-0.32,-0.11). The scores of attachment avoidance, MASS, and their interaction were associated with the score of DASS-21 in the relationship between attachment avoidance and negative affect (β=0.18,-0.43,-0.08). Conclusion: It suggests that negative affect has a close relationship with attachment in adults, and mindfulness may have moderating effect on the relationship between attachment and negative affect.

Objective: To explore the mental health service demands among medical staff and its distributions during the COVID-19 epidemic, so as to provide basis for psychological interventions. Methods: A total of 4677 medical staff from 348 hospitals in 31 provinces of China were investigated by an online survey based on "questionnaire star" from February 17 to 24, 2020. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collection information of social-demographic characteristics and mental health service demands. Psychological problem was defined if the screening results of any of the following instruments were positive, including Self Report Questionnaire for emotional pain, Self-rating Anxiety Scale for anxiety symptoms, and Self-rating Depression Scale for depression symptoms. Mental health service demands were recorded according to the self-report of the respondents. Results: Prevalence of psychological problem was 39. 3% and the demands of mental health services among medical staff with any psychological problem was 27. 2%. The results of multivariate analysis showed that fewer instruments with positive screening results ( only one instrument, OR = 3. 02, 95% CI: 2.35 — 3. 89, two instruments, OR = 1. 65, 95% CI: 1.26 — 2. 16), aged 29 and less ( OR = 1. 66, 95% CI: 1. 01 — 2.74), working in departments with lower risk ( OR = 1. 28, 95% CI: 1. 003 — 1. 64), and no epidemic isolation from themselves or the people around them ( OR = 1. 54, 95% CI: 1. 09 —2. 18) were associated with less mental health service demands. There were significant differences among the intentions to the provided methods of mental health services among medical staff with different types of screening results. Promoting health knowledge by mobile phone was the top intention in each subgroup. Conclusion: The rate of mental health service demands for medical staff with psychological problems is relatively low during the COVID-19 epidemic. Different intervention methods should be used for different populations during the psychological interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
