Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the relationship between daily stress, rumination and depressive symptoms, with a particular focus on the differences between depressed and healthy individuals. Key findings highlight the fact that depressed participants experience a higher frequency of stressful events and feel more stress. The correlation between stress and rumination is not significant. Rumination is identified as a response to stress that occurs in both healthy and depressed individuals, yet it is more prominent among the latter. It shows a varied mediating impact on the relationship between stress and depression, but this impact is not always significant. These findings underscore the importance of confronting ruminative tendencies and stress reception in therapeutic interventions such as CBT and mindfulness to improve stress management strategies and general coping strategies, particularly in depressed patients. Keywords: ecological momentary assessment, depression, daily stress, rumination
