    Emotion dysregulation and mindfulness in non-suicidal self-injury
    (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2022-06-25) Calvete Zumalde, Esther ; Royuela Colomer, Estíbaliz; Maruottolo, Claudio
    This study examined the association between mindfulness and engagement in non-suicidal self-injury (ENSSI) and whether emotion dysregulation explains this association. A secondary objective was to explore the difference between participants who engaged in a suicide attempt and those who only engaged in non-suicidal self-injury. A sample of 201 psychiatric patients (62.7% female; age range: 18–71 years old) participated in the study. The path analysis indicated that trait mindfulness was negatively associated with all emotion dysregulation dimensions and that one of these dimensions, impulse control difficulty, was associated with higher ENSSI. Moreover, impulse control difficulty was associated with increased odds of having attempted suicide. These findings suggest that mindfulness is a relevant construct to ENSSI with and without a suicide attempt. Future studies should investigate mindfulness-based interventions for ENSSI and the role played by the capacity to control impulses when experiencing negative emotions.

    Exploring the interrelations of obsessions, compulsions, and health: the mediating role of psychotic symptoms in individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2025-09-17) Aonso Diego, Gema; Parada Fernández, Pamela; Mendo Sancho, Laura; Macía Guerrero, Laura; Estévez Gutiérrez, Ana; Maruottolo, Claudio
    Background: Despite the high comorbidity between obsessive-compulsive and psychotic symptoms, little is known about its impact on the health of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This study aimed to 1) explore the prevalence of psychotic symptoms in individuals with OCD, and 2) examine the mediating role of psychotic symptoms in the relationship between obsessive-compulsive symptoms and overall health. Methods: This study included 102 participants undergoing treatment for OCD (Mage = 42.33, SD = 14.40, 52.9 % female). Structural equation modeling was employed to assess whether psychotic symptoms mediated the relationship between obsessive-compulsive symptoms and health outcomes. Results: Among participants with OCD (from mild to severe), 53.9 % exhibited positive psychotic symptoms, 74.7 % presented negative psychotic symptoms, and 83.5 % showed depressive psychotic symptoms. A significant correlation was found between OCD symptoms and psychotic symptoms (r ranging from .338 to .512). Structural equation modeling indicated that psychotic symptoms fully mediated the relationship between compulsions and health. Conclusions: Understanding the intricate relationship between OCD and psychotic symptoms remains a critical challenge in mental health research and clinical practice. Enhanced insights into this connection could facilitate more precise diagnoses and allow for more personalized treatments.
