简要总结
The important role of Emotion Regulation (ER) in managing stress and anxiety is well recognized. Aims: 1) assessing the level of anxiety, and the level of difficulties in emotion regulation (DER) among University Students during COVID-19, 2) investigating the effect of the emotional regulation training program on the anxiety of University Students during the COVID-19. Methods: Part I, students will be assessed for their anxiety, DER, and the general impact of COVID-19 on their lives. The students will complete Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Part II will be a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) using a pre-assessment and a post-assessment. A voluntary sample of students will randomly assigned to either a group that will receive emotion regulation training or a control group. The training program is an adapted version of DBT skills training. The training program will include mindfulness, emotion regulation, and problem-solving skills through eight 90- min group sessions.

主要结局
Change in anxiety from Baseline to the completion of training three months later using Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)
时间窗: 3 months. Assessments of anxiety will be collected from all students two times, three months apart
Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI): was developed by Dr. Aaron T. Beck and it is a brief measure of anxiety with a focus on somatic symptoms of anxiety such as nervousness, dizziness, inability to relax (Beck et al., 1988). It has a total of 21 items that takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Answers are on a 4-point Likert scale and range from 0 (not at all) to 3 (severely). The values for each item are added together to get an overall or total score for all 21 symptoms that can vary from 0 to 63 points. A total score of 0 - 7 indicates "Minimal" anxiety; 8 - 15 indicates "Mild" anxiety; 16 -25 indicates "Moderate" anxiety; and 26 - 63 indicates "Severe" anxiety
Change in difficulties in emotion regulation from Baseline to the completion of training three months later using Emotion regulation difficulties Scale
时间窗: 3 months. Assessments of DER will be collected from all students two times, three months apart
The DERS is a 36-item self-reported questionnaire that assesses an individual's ability to regulate their emotions (Gratz \& Roemer, 2004). Participants rate items on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = seldom to 5 = nearly frequently) to represent their self-perceived reactions to stressful emotional situations. The DERS produces an overall difficulty score in ER as well as six subscales: (a) Awareness, (b) Clarity, (c) Nonacceptance, (d) Impulsivity, (e) Goals, and (f) Strategies. Subscales are evaluated in such a way that higher values imply more difficulty.
