The tools used included a positive and negative emotion program, a quality of life scale, and a scale of difficulty in regulating emotion. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. Indirect relationships were also analyzed by the bototherapy method.

In this model, the relationship was difficult to regulate emotionally with a negative and significant quality of life. There was also a significant relationship between difficulty in regulating emotion and positive and negative emotions with quality of life (p <0.001).
