Self-reported negative life events, rumination, hope and suicide ideation were measured using a range of questions and scales. Our research demonstrated that the incidence of suicidal ideation among college freshmen in the past week was higher during the COVID-19 pandemic than that before the pandemic. In this study, conditional process model 15 was used to verify the hypothetical model of rumination as a potential mediator and hope as a moderator.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The hypothesized moderated mediation model was verified significant (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> = -0.047, 95% CI = [-0.061, -0.035]), and hope was found to moderate the direct effect of negative life events on suicidal ideation (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> = -0.039, t = -2.937, 95% CI = [-0.065, -0.013]) as well as the indirect effect of through the mediator rumination (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> = -0.134, t = -10.850, 95% CI = [-0.158, -0.110]).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found that rumination partially mediated the effect of negative life events on suicidal ideation, and hope buffered the direct and indirect effect of negative life events on suicidal ideation. The implications of the findings for clinical interventions are discussed, including the importance of hope arousal as a protective factor and rumination as a cognitive mechanism for emotion regulation under the background of normalization of pandemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2022.898580","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,20]],"date-time":"2023-01-20T06:18:00Z","timestamp":1674195480000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Role of rumination and hope on negative life events and suicidal ideation under the background of normalization of pandemic prevention and control: A moderated mediation model"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Yingying","family":"Yao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhihong","family":"Qiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fangbai","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianchao","family":"Ni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"468","DOI":"10.1111\/jopy.12592","article-title":"Change in mental health symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic: The role of appraisals and daily life experiences","volume":"2020","author":"Brose","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Personal."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s12199-021-00953-1","article-title":"Cross-sectional survey of depressive symptoms and suicide-related ideation at a Japanese national university during the COVID-19 stay-home order","volume":"26","author":"Nomura","year":"2021","journal-title":"Environ Health Prev Med."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"53231","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2021-053231","article-title":"Mental health condition of college students compared to non-students during COVID-19 lockdown: The CONFINS study","volume":"11","author":"Arsandaux","year":"2021","journal-title":"Br Med J Open."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"957","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfma.2020.01.012","article-title":"Suicide and associated psychosocial correlates among university students in Taiwan: A mixed-methods study","volume":"119","author":"Chen","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Formosan Med Assoc."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"785","DOI":"10.1177\/1049909120905261","article-title":"Hospice care: Hope and meaning in life mediate subjective well-being of staff","volume":"37","author":"Shiri","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am J Hospice Palliat Care."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"82646","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17082646","article-title":"The influence of negative life events on suicidal ideation in college students: The role of rumination","volume":"17","author":"Wang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am J Hospice Palliat Med."},{"key":"B7","unstructured":"White paper \u201cChina's Action against COVID-19 Epidemic\u201d2020"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"76","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apnu.2021.05.005","article-title":"Depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in nurses with and without symptoms of secondary traumatic stress during the COVID-19 outbreak","volume":"37","author":"Ariapooran","year":"2022","journal-title":"Arch Psychiatr Nurs."},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"114475","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psychres.2022.114475","article-title":"Suicidal ideation during COVID-19: The contribution of unique and cumulative stressors","volume":"310","author":"Rudenstine","year":"2022","journal-title":"Psychiatry Res."},{"key":"B10","first-page":"113","article-title":"The neurobiology of suicide risk: A review for the clinician","volume":"60","author":"Mann","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Clin Psychiatry"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"268","DOI":"10.1098\/rstb.2017.0268","article-title":"The integrated motivational-volitional model of suicidal behaviour","volume":"373","author":"O'Connor","year":"2018","journal-title":"Philos Trans Royal Soc B Biol Sci."},{"key":"B12","volume-title":"The Cry of Pain","year":"2001"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"731","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2020.01.171","article-title":"Are stressful life events prospectively associated with increased suicidal ideation and behaviour?
