Self-Concealment and Career Counseling Help-Seeking in South Korean College Students: A Moderated Mediation Analysis

Identifying factors influencing career counseling services and providing interventions to increase utilization is crucial because only a few individuals facing career problems use these services. Utilizing the moderated mediation effect of career decision-making autonomy on the mediated model of self-concealment, career stress, and attitudes toward career counseling, this study analyzed 307 college students in South Korea. This study investigated whether career stress mediates the relationship between self-concealment and attitudes toward career counseling. Additionally, it examined whether career decision-making autonomy moderates this mediated model. The results suggest that career decision-making autonomy is crucial in seeking career counseling services to cope with stress. Implications for further research, limitations of this study, and interventions for increasing using career counseling are discussed.

Lived Experiences of Parenting Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Youth: Implications for Clinical Social Work Practice

AbstractTransgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) youth are the focus of media attention, policy and practice changes, and multidisciplinary research. Due to their disproportionate risk of self-harm, depression, and suicidality, family support of TGNC youth is a key focus. Despite growing community awareness, TGNC children, and their families, continue to navigate a complex myriad of challenges, including at an individual, family, community, and societal level. Parents are likely influenced by their child’s TGNC identity however little is known about how this parenting experience is perceived and navigated, with most research exploring the TGNC person’s perspective. Using qualitative photovoice methodology, this study explored the lived experience of raising a TGNC child from the parent perspective. Eight Australian parents of a TGNC young person aged between 10 and 18 years participated in an in-depth interview guided by their chosen photographs as the stimulus. Thematic analysis identified five key findings: 1. crossing the threshold: finding out and figuring it out; 2. changing and adapting; 3. same but different: attachment and family dynamic; 4. letting go and holding on; and 5. finding a path forward. Findings suggest complex psychosocial impacts on parenting. Recommendations include targeted support for parents that addresses grief, social isolation, career stress, and access to relevant information and services. Clinical social workers can play a vital role in supporting parents of TGNC children by providing trauma informed responses that recognise disenfranchised grief, acknowledge socioemotional impacts, and empower parents with appropriate resources to meet their needs, and those of their TGNC child.

Proactive behaviors matter for my job! The roles of career decidedness and career stress in face of VUCA

PurposeDrawing on the conservation of resources theory, this study examines how proactive skill development (PSD) influences job performance and mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying the above relationship.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from a sample of 261 full-time workers in three waves, spaced by a six-week interval (Time 1, N = 360; Time 2, N = 320; Time 3, N = 261).FindingsThe results confirmed that career stress mediated the relationship between PSD and job performance. Additionally, high career decidedness strengthened this negative relationship between stress and performance. Furthermore, career decidedness significantly moderated the indirect PSD–performance relationship via career stress, accentuating the indirect effect when decidedness is higher.Originality/valueThis study sheds light on the important role of proactive skills development in influencing job performance and what factors can affect this relationship.

An Investigation into the Prevention of Turnover of Medical Interpreters.

Since there have been no studies for the prevention of job turnover among medical interpreters, this study examined the effects of social support, professional career maturity and stress coping on their attitudes toward job continuity intentions. A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the relationships between social support, professional career maturity, stress coping and job continuity intentions. Stress coping was measured by using a simplified stress coping scale (with 9 items and 1 factor structure). Social support was measured by defining the interpreters who answered "Yes" for "I have someone to talk to when I feel emotional stress". Professional carrier maturity was assessed by using, 12 career-related items. We defined those interpreters who responded "No" to "Have you ever wanted to quit medical interpreting due to emotional stress?" were to have job continuity intentions. The present study indicated that 14 (25.5%) of the interpreters did not intend to continue their occupation because of their psychological stresses. Compared to interpreters without social support, the odds ratio of job continuity intentions was 4.39 (95% confidence interval [CI] : 1.13-18.3) for those with social support. Moreover, in comparison with the interpreters with low professional career maturity, the odds ratio of job continuity intentions was significantly higher for those with high professional career maturity (odds ratio [OR] = 4.35; 95%CI: 1.12-21.8). However, there was an association found for stress coping. Strengthening social support and helping professional career development were the important factors for medical interpreters to be able to continue their careers.

We aimed to identify the factors associated with suicidal ideation by classifying adolescents into three groups: no stress, interpersonal stress, as well as academic and career stress. Using the data from the 16th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey (2020), 15,343 adolescents were included in the study, and their socio-demographic characteristics as well as physical and psychological factors were assessed.

The Mediating Role of Perceived Social Support in the Relationship Between University Students' Perfectionism and Career Stress

Career stress is one of the current issues that university students have to deal with. Although there are many reasons, it is stated that perfectionism can be one of the main reasons for the formation of stress. On the other hand, it is supported by the literature that the perception of social support can be a source that can reduce this effect. For such reasons, this study aims to examine the mediating role of perceived social support in the relationship between university students' perfectionism and career stress. A total of 433 university students, 311 (71.8%) female and 122 (28.2%) male, participated in the sample of this study. The measurement tools used to collect data in the study are the ‘Big Three Perfectionism Scale-16'', 'Career Stress Scale' and 'Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support'. The research findings explain that the perfectionist personality traits of the students have a positive and significant effect on career stress. It is also explained that perceived multidimensional social support has a partial mediating role between perfectionism and career stress. The findings of the research were discussed in relation to the literature.
