Background: Outpatients who have depressive and anxiety symptoms could experience a range of interoceptive awareness and rumination; however, the level of awareness might vary based on individual symptoms and circumstances.
Objectives:To investigate the potential patterns of interoceptive awareness and rumination for outpatients, and to examine the association of these patterns and psychological symptoms.Methods:From August 2021 to February 2022, the outpatients were recruited inKorea. Latent profile analysis was conducted to analyze optimal patterns of interoceptive awareness and rumination. The logistic regression was performed to evaluate the associations between these patterns, depression, anxiety, and somatization.
Results:A total of 115 outpatients were participated. Three distinct latent profiles were identified: "high interoceptive awareness and low rumination" (21.8%), "high interoceptive awareness and high rumination" (45.2%), and "low interoceptive awareness and high rumination" (33.0%). Participants with low interoceptive awareness and high rumination were associated with increased risks of depressive symptoms (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=7.406), state anxiety (aOR=4.111), trait anxiety (aOR=2.789) and somatization (aOR=3.183).
Conclusions:Adults with low interoceptive awareness and high rumination could exhibit more severe psychological symptoms. Such individuals may be provided the early screening and targeted somatic-based interventions.
