Social-Emotional Development in the Summer Art Camp Setting.

Introduction Social-emotional development refers to the development of one's abilities to understand, regulate, and express emotions and to establish and maintain successful relationships with peers and adults. Education in the arts has been shown to promote learning these skills, but the relationship between social-emotional development and summer art camp has not been explored. Methods The objective of this study is to determine the potential for social-emotional development in a community-based art day camp. A qualitative thematic analysis of the art camp's curriculum was conducted and compared with current literature regarding opportunities for social-emotional development in arts education and summer camp settings. Results The summer art camp curriculum included practices known to facilitate social-emotional learning in school-aged children. The curriculum data themes identified were performance, art projects, and outdoor activities. All of these themes have been shown to facilitate social-emotional skill building and can be connected to the components of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework. Conclusions Through the shown benefits of summer camp in combination with the benefits of in-school arts education, art camp provides the unique opportunity to practice self-expression, friend-making, and self-esteem building, all of which can contribute to mental well-being and academic success long-term.

Career Adaptability of Students at Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City

This study elucidates the career adaptability of students at Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM), through the analysis of survey data consisting of 380 samples collected in 2023. The data was gathered using a combination of quota sampling and convenience sampling methods. The theoretical foundation of this research is based on Savickas’ (2005) model of career adaptability [1]. The data analysis methods employed include descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, reliability testing using Cronbach’s Alpha, One-way ANOVA, and T-Test, all conducted using SPSS software. The study focuses on third-year students and above, from six member schools of VNU-HCM. The results indicate that VNU-HCM students scored highest on future orientation and lowest on confidence. Among the 23 indicators of career adaptability, the highest average scores were observed in the areas of personal responsibility, concern for future careers, and the acquisition of new skills. Conversely, the indicators with the lowest average scores included planning to achieve goals, confidence in overcoming life's obstacles, and confidence in problem-solving. To enhance the career adaptability of VNU-HCM students, the study emphasizes the need for educators, counselors, and policymakers to support students in career planning; building self-esteem; enhancing decision-making skills; and fostering optimism. Additionally, there should be increased support for building student confidence to overcome obstacles and solve problems. Attention should also be given to differences in career adaptability among students of different majors, academic performance levels, and the positive, significant impact of part-time work on enhancing career adaptability for VNU-HCM students.

Understanding suicidality in Pacific adolescents in New Zealand using network analysis.

Pacific adolescents in New Zealand (NZ) are three to four times more likely than NZ European adolescents to report suicide attempts and have higher rates of suicidal plans. Suicidal thoughts, plans, and attempts, termed suicidality in this study, result from a complex dynamic interplay of factors, which emerging methodologies like network analysis aim to capture. This study used cross-sectional network analysis to model the relationships between suicidality, self-harm, and individual depression symptoms, whilst conditioning on a multi-dimensional set of variables relevant to suicidality. A series of network models were fitted to data from a community sample of New Zealand-born Pacific adolescents (n = 550; 51% male; Mean age (SD) = 17 (0.35)). Self-harm and the depression symptom measuring pessimism had the strongest associations with suicidality, followed by symptoms related to having a negative self-image about looks and sadness. Nonsymptom risk factors for self-harm and suicidality differed markedly. Depression symptoms varied widely in terms of their contribution to suicidality, highlighting the valuable information gained from analysing depression at the symptom-item level. Reducing the sources of pessimism and building self-esteem presented as potential targets for alleviating suicidality amongst Pacific adolescents in New Zealand. Suicide prevention strategies need to include risk factors for self-harm.

Assessing Self-Concept in Children (Aged 5-7) with Functional Dyslalia.

Language not only plays a powerful role in human life, as it is also a crucial factor in our minds. It shapes our personality, memory and even the way in which we see the world, as well as playing a fundamental role in the building of self-concept and self-esteem. Having a good self-concept, that is, knowing one's own qualities and strengths, will, in turn, promote good self-esteem. The aim of this research was to analyze self-concept in 50 children (aged 5-7) with functional dyslalia in the city of Granada (Spain). A quantitative approach was taken, with a non-experimental design; it was descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational. The Perception of Child Self-concept Scale (PCS), a Spanish scale, was used. In general, the children who were interviewed showed a medium level of self-concept. It is noteworthy that differences were found in the average scores on the scale according to the sex of the children, with girls showing a higher level of self-concept than boys. Participants scored higher on Factor 1, family attachment, followed by Factor 3, feelings, with the values of both these factors decreasing with age. On the other hand, lower average scores were found for Factor 2, environment, and Factor 4, autonomy. It was found that self-concept was higher in young children (five-year-old children) as well as in those who studied in rural areas. Finally, guidelines for improvement were provided. Self-concept is a fundamental aspect of personality, but it is not innate; it develops and evolves.

Self reported benefits of participating in group prayer in a hospital outpatient setting: A cross-sectional observational study

BackgroundPrayer had long been used as a tool to bring hope among patients suffering with intractable diseases. Most clinical researches conducted so far on prayer were done upon indoor patients. Effects of prayer involving patients and health care providers in a hospital outpatient setting have never been explored. ObjectivesThis cross sectional study aimed to observe the self-perceived changes post prayer among patients and hospital staff involved in the health care delivery and who actually have participated in the prayer sessions. Material and methodSurvey was conducted with the help of a structured questionnaire on routine OP days at Ayurveda –Arthritis Treatment and Advanced Research Center, Lucknow. Patients visiting the center for OP based consultation and hospital staff who has participated in any prayer session were eligible to participate in the survey. Results49 hospital staff and 85 patients have participated in the survey. Among most important self-reported attributes following the prayer sessions in patients were Positive Attitude (84.70%), Optimism about cure (92.90%), Feeling of well-being (95.30%), Optimism about future (95.30%) and Changes in energy level (89.40%). Among hospital staff the important attributes were related to change in energy level (93.90%), increased empathy (93.90%), feeling of universal good (96.00%), less fatigue post prayer (69.40%), sustained effects (81.60%) and healthier feeling (81.60%). ConclusionThis observational study suggests that a simple prayer session in outpatient department may be helpful in inculcating hope and building self-esteem among patients and can bring a better self-image, efficiency and connectedness in the hospital staff. Eventually, this may help in improving the outcomes and quality of care being provided at outpatient setting at any hospital.

Applying terror management theory to patients with life-threatening illness: a systematic review

BackgroundTerror management theory (TMT) posits that people manage death-related anxiety through the meaning provided by their cultural world-views and the sense of personal value provided by self-esteem. While a large body of research has supported the core propositions of TMT, little research has focused on its application to individuals with terminal illness. If TMT can help healthcare providers better understand how belief systems adapt and change in life-threatening illness, and the role they play in managing death-related anxiety, it may provide guidance on how to improve communication around treatments near the end of life. As such, we set out to review the available research articles that focus on describing the relationship between TMT and life-threatening illness.MethodsWe reviewed PubMed, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and EMBASE through May 2022 for original research articles focused on TMT and life-threatening illness. Articles were only deemed appropriate for inclusion if direct incorporation of the principles of TMT were made in reference to a population of interest whom had life-threatening illness Results were screened by title and abstract, followed by full review of candidate articles. References were also scanned. Articles were assessed qualitatively.ResultsSix relevant and original research articles were published which provide varied levels of support for TMT’s application in critical illness, each article detailed evidence of ideological changes consistent with what TMT would predict. Building self-esteem, enhancing the experience of life as meaningful, incorporating spirituality, engaging family members, and caring for patients at home where meaning and self-esteem can be better maintained are strategies supported by the studies and serve as starting points for further research.ConclusionThese articles suggest that applying TMT to life-threatening illness can help identify psychological changes that may effectively minimize the distress from dying. Limitations of this study include a heterogenous group of relevant studies and qualitative assessment.

The relationship between peer victimisation, self-esteem, and internalizing symptoms in adolescents: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Peer victimisation is common and predicts increased internalizing symptoms. Low self-esteem, which is associated with both greater peer victimisation and higher internalizing problems, may help explain why victimised adolescents experience greater internalizing symptoms. Objectives of the present research were to establish the relationships between peer victimisation, internalizing problems, and self-esteem, and to test whether self-esteem mediates the effect of victimisation on internalizing symptoms. We conducted a systematic literature search in Psychinfo, ERIC, Web of science, and Pubmed, following PRISMA guidelines. Inclusion criteria were: age 10-18 years; empirical studies that measured a) internalizing symptoms, b) self-esteem, and c) peer victimisation or bullying; design was either longitudinal or cross-sectional with a comparison group. Quality assessment were conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. We conducted random effects models and a meta-mediation analysis, with self-esteem acting as a mediator between peer victimization and internalizing symptoms. Sixteen papers with a total of N = 35,032 (53% female) participants met the criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis demonstrated an association between peer victimisation and both high internalizing problems (r = .31, CI 95 = .26 to.36) and low self-esteem (r = -.25, CI 95 = -.29; to -.22), and between low self-esteem and high internalizing problems ((r = -.38, CI 95 = -.42 to -.33), as well as an indirect effect of peer victimization on internalizing symptoms via self-esteem (ß = .10, CI lower = .07, CI upper = .13). Peer victimization, high internalizing symptoms and low self-esteem are all mutually related. Peer victimization partially mediates internalizing symptoms via self-esteem. Anti-bullying programmes may consider incorporating self-esteem building exercises in bully-victims. Limitations include high heterogeneity of results.

The Mediating Role of Self-Esteem on the Relationship between Teachers Students Interaction and Students Academic Achievement of Wolaita Sodo University Students

This study examined the meditational role of self-esteem on the relationship between student teacher interaction and academic achievements in the graduating class students of Wolaita Sodo University, Ethiopia. A survey-based study was performed among 313 students, randomly selected from four colleges and one school, by using a well-established questionnaire. To analyze the data, a confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling procedure was used. The analysis result revealed that student teacher interaction has a positive and significant relationship both with self-esteem and academic achievement. Further, self-esteem played a mediating role in the relationship between student teacher interaction and academic achievement. Thus according to the analysis finding, all hypothesis of the present study were supported. Based on the findings of the present study, Ministry of Education of Ethiopia and Wolaita Sodo University leaders can review the display rules, designed for teachers, in a way that teachers can perform appropriate care and emotional attachment strategies while interacting with the students. Besides by using the model of the present study, the university leaders and practitioners can identify core area to be considered in hiring teachers, in giving life skill training, interpersonal relationship training, and self-esteem building workshops for all students and teachers as well.

Relationship between Communication Skills, Mental Health and Self-esteem among Nursing Students at a Medical Sciences University in Hamadan, Iran

Communication is considered to be one of the central concepts in nursing and a prominent part of practising this profession. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between communication skills, mental health and self-esteem among nursing students at Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in Hamadan, Iran. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in 2018 on 320 undergraduate nursing students who were selected using a stratified random sampling method. The data was gathered using three self-administered questionnaires, namely, the Queendom Communication Skills Test, the Goldberg Mental Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory. The data was analysed using R.V4.0.2. Using the elastic net method, mental health, self-esteem and age were shown to be associated with communication skills over 1 000 repetitions of the model. Communication skills were significantly associated with the three subscales of mental health (p < 0.001), self-esteem (p < 0.01), and age (p < 0.05). Regarding the significant relationship between communication skills, mental health and self-esteem of nursing students, it is recommended to organise self-esteem building and focus on mental health promotion to promote communication skills among nursing students.

Socio-economic gaps in educational aspirations: do experiences and attitudes matter?

ABSTRACT We use detailed survey data linked to administrative records from secondary schools in England to investigate potential channels contributing to the socio-economic gap in post-compulsory educational aspirations. We investigate the role of experiences and attitudes including the provision of information, advice and guidance (IAG), bullying victimisation, locus of control and self-perception of academic potential. Our findings indicate a significant socio-economic gap in aspirations to stay in education, to follow the academic rather than the vocational route, and to attend university. We use decomposition analysis to show that the experiences we consider are not statistically correlated with the observed socio-economic gap while differences in attitudes explain up to 22% of the effect. The findings suggest that investing in self-esteem building and attribution training programmes within schools could contribute to equalising educational outcomes.

Building self-esteem by prosthetic rehabilitation in a child with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, role of pediatric dentist: A case report

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a congenital disorder exhibiting multiple disorders that affect ectodermal tissues. Over 150 different presentations of the syndrome have been reported, of which the most commonly encountered are hidrotic and hypohidrotic variants. In the present paper, we report the case of an 8-year-old male who was diagnosed with hypohidrotic ED by a physician. The extraoral and intraoral findings were recorded and found in accordance with the diagnosed variant. A comprehensive therapy was initiated which included child and parent counseling, familiarizing the child with dental setup, and delivery of a removable partial denture for the upper arch and a removable complete denture for the lower arch. The importance of follow-up and newer dentures as per the growth of the patient was also explained to the parents. The article highlights the key role of a pediatric dentist in managing the child and parents in syndromes as such.

Parenting style and depression among students: The mediating role of self-esteem

Parenting style has been highlighted as one of the causes of depressive symptoms and also influences adolescent self-esteem. Although many studies have investigated the effect of self-esteem on depression, few have considered its role as a mediator variable. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the direct effect of parenting style on adolescent depression and its indirect effect on self-esteem. An online survey was completed voluntarily by 555 respondents from four senior high schools in Bekasi, Indonesia. The Patient Health Questionnaire, Parental Authority Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and Path-SPSS analysis were employed to prove the hypothesis. The results show a significant direct effect of parenting [authoritative (β = -.257, p .01), authoritarian (β = .181, p .01) and permissive (β = .109, p .01)] on depression. In addition, there is an indirect effect of authoritative (β = -.182, p .01) and authoritarian (β = .055, p .01) parenting styles on depression as mediated by self-esteem. The study indicates the importance of positive parenting and the building of adolescents' self-esteem to avoid the risk of depression.

The role of self-efficacy in HIV treatment adherence and its interaction with psychosocial factors among HIV positive adolescents in transition to adult care in Kenya

ABSTRACT Adolescents and young adults (15–24 yrs.) have poorer HIV clinical outcomes than adults. Despite this, there is minimal data on individual-level factors such as self-efficacy towards antiretroviral adherence among perinatally infected adolescents living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. Our study examined the interaction between antiretroviral treatment adherence self-efficacy and other psychosocial factors among adolescents receiving care in Nairobi, Kenya. We enrolled perinatally infected Adolescent Living with HIV (ALWHIV) 16–19 yrs. who were accessing care routinely at the HIV clinic. We measured self-reported ART adherence (7-day recall) and defined optimal adherence as >95%, and conducted a regression analysis to identify independently associated factors. Mediation analysis explored interactions between the psychosocial variables. We enrolled 82 ALWHIV median age 17 (IQR 16,18) who had been on ART for a median age of 11 yrs. (IQR 7,13). Sixty-four per cent (52) of the ALWHIV reported optimal adherence of >95%, and 15% reported missing doses for three or more months. After controlling for the other covariates, self-esteem, high viral load and an adherence level > 95% were significantly associated with adherence self-efficacy. Self-esteem was significantly associated with adherence self-efficacy and social support (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001), respectively. The paramed test indicated that the association between self-efficacy and adherence was mediated by self-esteem with a total effect of OR 6.93 (bootstrap 95% CI 1.99–24.14). Adherence self-efficacy was also mediated by self-esteem in developing adherence behavior. Interventions focused on increasing adherence among ALWHIV should include self-esteem building components.Key words : Adolescents, Adherence self -efficacy, Transition , perinatal,

Intervention Outcomes, Anxiety, Self-Esteem, and Self-Efficacy With DHH Students in Universities.

This article reports the impact of an online spiritual counseling (OSC) program in mitigating anxiety and building self-esteem and academic self-efficacy among deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students in universities. Compared to online relaxation sessions, the OSC was more effective. Male DHH students and those whose parents were highly qualified exhibited less anxiety and higher self-esteem and self-efficacy at pretest (T1). Post-test (T2) male students having better educated parents responded better to the OSC. T2 anxiety was lower and self-esteem and academic self-efficacy was higher for liberal arts students and having stay-at-home parents compared with science and commerce students and whose parents worked outside home. Self-esteem was also positively moderated by better economic class and presence of siblings. Intervention compliance in terms of regular attendance and self-practice mediated the relationship between sociodemographic predictors and outcomes. Results support the biopsychosocial model and encourage the implementation of the OSC with DHH university students.
