All of them completed the questionnaires of eating disorder, alexithymia, coping styles and cognitive emotion regulation. Data was analyzed with using SPSS-21 and by Pearson correlation and multiple regression with enter model methods.
Results: The findings showed that alexithymia (r=0/173), avoid-focused coping style (r=0/198) and negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies (r=0/465) had a significantly positive relationship with nursing students’ eating disorder and problem-focused coping style (r=-0/376) and positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (r=-0/541) had a significantly negative relationship with nursing students’ eating disorder. Also, the variables of positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies and problem-focused coping style significantly could predict 45/5 percent of variance of nursing students’ eating disorder that in this prediction the share of positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies was higher than other variables (p<0/05).
Conclusions: The results indicate the role and importance of the variables of positive and negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies and problem-focused coping style in predicting nursing students’ eating disorder.
