Communication tools and social media usage: Assessing self-perceived communication competence

Communication skills, such as listening, open-mindedness, empathy, and confidence, are essential for personal and professional development and play a significant role in many disciplines, including education, health, and business. Social media, a widely used communication channel, has revolutionized how people interact, and its effects on education and overall social development are significant. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of communication skills possessed by university students and to determine whether these levels are affected by the social media applications that the students use. In this study, there were 407 participants in the sample, with 55.8% (227) female and 44.2% (180) male. Communication skills scale was used to assess the students’ communication skills. Exploratory statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to determine the participants’ communication skill levels. Bayesian statistics were used to determine how well the data supported the differentiation of communication skill levels based on independent variables. The study revealed that most college students possessed moderate communication skills and disclosed disparities between academic departments, underscoring the need to assess curricula and teaching methods. It also suggested that most social media platforms have little effect on communication skills, with some gender differences observed, emphasizing the significance of addressing these differences to enhance the development of communication skills.

Difficulties in Emotion Regulation and Communication Skills: The Mediating Role of Co-Rumination

Teaching highly depends on good communication skills including emotional regulation. This study specifically examines the mediating role of co-rumination between emotional regulation and communication skills in an educational setting. Data was collected from 4128 (1387 females, 2741 males) teachers working in the Turkish Ministry of National Education. Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate the mediator role of co-rumination in the relation between difficulties in emotion regulation and communication skills. Difficulties in emotion regulation predicted lower level of communication skills, which was mediated by co-rumination. Contrary to predictions, co-rumination was found to be positively correlated with communication skills. Thus, difficulties in emotion regulation lead individuals to co-ruminate more, which in return seems to be a positive variable that contributes to overall communication skills. Therefore, it can be inferred that when teachers with higher emotion regulation difficulties start to co-ruminate more, which positively increases their communication skills.

STRUCTURAL-SUBSTANTIVE MODEL OF FORMATION OF PEDAGOGICAL CREATIVITY OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

Socio-economic development in society reflects the high demand for a creative person who can successfully solve problems and change their behavior. Modern conditions increase the need for active, business-minded, creative professionals who are able to move forward and solve various problems on their own in non-standard situations. To be confident in the face of constant change, a future computer science teacher must activate his or her creativity and help students discover their potential and focus on solving the problem. The social demand for education is determined by the needs of the state, society and social groups. In this regard, the social order for creative people capable of creativity, striving for innovation and scientific achievements, non-standard, original thinking makes the issue of formation of pedagogical creativity of future computer science teachers relevant. The purpose of the structural and content model of the formation of pedagogical creativity of future teachers of computer science is to form their ability to pedagogical creativity: the student's understanding of the meaning and content of pedagogical creativity; aspiration of the student to the formation of pedagogical creativity. Creativity and innovation are an integral part of the learning process and the basis of all disciplines. They are an important aspect of how to teach in the process. In addition, creativity and innovation are crucial for teachers who are improving their professional skills. In terms of creativity, teachers play an important and key role in universities, as they provide organizational support for innovation and creativity in the teaching process. The high level of creativity of teachers contributes to the development of students - to increase their competence and demand in the labor market. However, if there is a big difference between the high level of creativity of the teacher and the low level of perception of students, the high creativity of the teacher has a negative impact. In addition, factors that may have a negative impact are: irrationalism on one or both sides; lack of constructivism, low level of communication skills of the teacher; lack of feedback in the learning process, etc. The considered world trends in the development of education are general. In addition, there are new trends in the development of different types and levels of education, depending on their goals, characteristics, the nature of implementation and the new social requirements for the level of training of relevant graduates.

Determination of Critical Thinking Dispositions and Communication Skills of Gifted Middle School Students

The purpose of the study is to determine the critical thinking dispositions and communication skills of gifted students, and to investigate whether these students’ critical thinking dispositions and communication skills vary significantly by some demographic variables. This study used the descriptive survey model. The sample, which was determined by using maximum variation sampling, consists of 326 gifted students attending BİLSEMs. To collect data, the “California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory”, the “Communication Skills Evaluation Scale” with “Information Form” were used. In the analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and correlation analysis techniques were employed. It was seen that the critical thinking level of the students is medium and communication skills level is high. Their critical thinking does not vary significantly by the variables of gender, birth order, grade level and family type. However, their level of critical thinking was determined to vary significantly by the variables of the number of siblings and mother’s/father’s education level. Their communication skills vary significantly by the variables of gender, grade level, mother’s/father’s education level and the number of siblings but does not vary significantly by the variables of birth order and family type.

The effect of implementing the COMFORT communication model on communication skills of nursing students.

Effective communication as a key component of palliative care requires sufficient knowledge and experience to make nursing interventions successful. This quasi-experimental study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the COMFORT communication model as an intervention to improve student nurses' communication skills while they are under clinical training in specialist palliative care inpatient units. The population sample included 86 student nurses who were randomly assigned into two groups of 40. The intervention group received training on communication skills using the COMFORT communication model. Nine lectures were delivered online or offline; the lectures lasted between 25 to 60 minutes. The control group received the conventional educational programme about communication with patients and families, according to the curriculum of the bachelor's degree in nursing. Data were collected using the Communication Skills Questionnaire and Communication Skills Attitude Scale and analysed using IBM® SPSS® Statistics 22.0. The findings showed that, after the implementation of COMFORT communication model, there was a statistically significant difference in communication skills between the intervention group (122.95±9.36) and the control group (110.1±8.92). There was also a significant difference in attitudes toward communication skills between the intervention group (90.25±8.86) and the control group (90.85±9.15) (P=0.0001). The findings of the study revealed that the COMFORT Communication model created significant statistical differences in the student's attitude, knowledge and communication skills. Novice nurses sometimes struggle with the level of communication skills needed when caring for patients with an end-stage illness. The implementation of the COMFORT communication model significantly improved communication skills and attitudes toward communication. Due to the need to establish effective communication as the core of nursing practice, the implementation of this training programme is recommended for students and qualified nurses, particularly when providing palliative care.

Post-traumatic stress disorder and experiences involving violence or sexual abuse in a clinical sample of autistic adults with intellectual disabilities: Prevalence and clinical correlates.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health disorder that may be triggered by the experience of events perceived as terrifying or overwhelming. Examples of such events include being the victim of violence or sexual abuse. Compared with other people, autistic people have increased risk of being exposed to violence or sexual abuse. In addition, autistic people may be more vulnerable to developing post-traumatic stress disorder following such exposure. However, knowledge is limited concerning the prevalence of experiences involving violence and sexual abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder, in autistic people with co-occurring intellectual disabilities. Detection of these experiences, and identification of post-traumatic stress disorder, may be challenging in these individuals, and previous research indicates that post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms may be overlooked or misinterpreted. In this study, we examined prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder, violence and sexual abuse in a clinical sample of 88 autistic adults with intellectual disabilities referred for mental health assessment. Only 3.4% were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, even if experiences involving violence (34.1%) or sexual abuse (17.0%) were common. Anxiety and affective disorders were common diagnoses among participants with these experiences. Controlling for autism characteristics, level of intellectual disability and communication skills, experiences of violence/sexual abuse were found to be associated with a measure of 'challenging' behaviours. These results indicate that potentially traumatic experiences are common in autistic adults with intellectual disabilities referred for mental health assessment, and that post-traumatic stress disorder may be under-recognised. The findings highlight the importance of trauma screening and post-traumatic stress disorder assessment, as well as the importance of trauma-informed care, in this population.

Therapeutic communication skills level among students undertaking the pediatric nursing course and the associated influencing factors

AimThe present study to determine the level of therapeutic communication skills among the students undertaking the pediatric nursing course and explore the associated influencing factors. MethodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 140 nursing students who took the pediatric nursing course. Data were collected using a Nursing Student Information Form and the Therapeutic Communication Skills Scale for Nursing Students. The mean and percentage calculations, t-test, ANOVA test, and regression analysis were conducted to analyze the correlations between the participants' descriptive characteristics and their mean scores on the scales. ResultsThe participants' mean scores obtained on the total Therapeutic Communication Skills Scale for Nursing Students and all of its subdimensions were observed to have a statistically significant correlation with variables such as gender, grade point average, willingness to select the nursing department, satisfaction with the nursing department, difficulty in establishing communication, perceived ability to establish social relations, difficulty in communicating with a child, perception of childhood life, experience with child care, fondness for children, interest in playing therapeutic games with children, and perceived ability to communicate with children. In Model 1, certain descriptive characteristics (satisfaction with the nursing department, difficulty in communicating with a child, experience with child care, interest in playing therapeutic games with children, and perceived ability to communicate with children) explained 52.4% of the therapeutic communication skills scores of the pediatric nursing students and were statistically significantly. ConclusionsIn this study, it was determined that some of the descriptive characteristics of the students who took the pediatric nursing course had a significant effect on their therapeutic communication skills. Implications for practiceIn order to develop the therapeutic communication skills of students undertaking a pediatric nursing course, it is necessary to support these students with a standard curriculum that includes student-centered, innovative, and interactive educational methods, such as role play, case analysis, and video-based learning. It is also recommended to conduct comparative studies on different educational approaches for nursing students undertaking pediatric nursing courses or meta-analyses to evaluate the effectiveness of such approaches.

Türkiye'deki Suriyeli Kadın Mülteciler Arasında Travmanın Bir Sonucu Olarak Yeni Başlayan Oligomenore

Introduction: Depression is a common psychological response to trauma and stress, and research suggests that depression may play a role in the development of menstrual irregularities in women, including oligomenorrhea. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the gynecological symptom of oligomenorrhea as a consequence of traumatic events and its relation with depression and sexual dysfunction in Syrian refugee women in Turkey. Materials and Methods: The study was held in one of the refugee camps in Turkey (Cevdetiye, Osmaniye) in April 2013. A total of 404 Syrian refugee women were interviewed during their medical visits at the gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic located in the refugee camp for menstrual cycle irregularities, depression and sexual dysfunction in regard to the parameters such as the level of linguistic communication skills, ethnic origin, marital status, active involvement of husband or loss of any first degree relative in civil war. Results: A total of 404 refugee women of different ethnicities (Turkish n=310 and Arabic n=94) were interviewed. Out of 404 participants, 200 (49.5%) had secondary oligomenorrhea (study group) and 204 (50.5%) had normal menstrual cycles (control group). Oligomenorrhea was found to be significantly associated with decreased sexual function, active involvement of husband in civil war and higher depression scores. Conclusion and suggestion: Depression is one of the major component of post-traumatic events and one of the known reasons of menstrual irregularities in women. Menstrual irregularities, particularly oligomenorrhea, may be an objective and initial gynecological sign in refugee women alerting the clinicians to refer the women for further psychiatric evaluation

Coaching technologies in socionomy specialists' professional self-development in supporting families with children having special needs

The aim of the article was to evaluate the effectiveness of coaching technologies in training social workers to work with families that have children with special needs. The research involved the following methods: formative experiment, where the Professional Coaching technology is implemented as an influence; tests as tools to determine the level of theoretical knowledge, Job Satisfaction Test, Ontogenetic Reflection Self-Assessment Test; observation to determine the specialists’ communication skills level; statistical data processing. The research involved two samples - experimental and control, which included social workers. Social Competence Model in working with families that have children with special needs was developed, which consists of motivational-value, cognitive, communicative-activity and reflective criteria. The dominance of medium levels of social workers’ social competence in working with families that have children with special needs was found. The effectiveness of the developed coaching system is proved. It was found that the formative influence is more effective for the cognitive and reflexive criteria than for motivational-value and communicative-activity criteria. The obtained results can be guidelines for further improvement of the developed Professional Coaching system. Further research prospects involve studying the impact of coaching on the self-development of not only social workers but also other socionomy specialists.

Confronting Challenges: An Inductive Thematic Analysis Of Barriers And Solutions To Undergraduate Medical Research In Pakistan.

To qualitatively analyse the barriers in pursuing undergraduate research, and to propose solutions for the problems identified. The qualitative study was conducted from May to October 2021 after approval from the institutional ethics review board of the Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, and comprised undergraduate students of either gender at various public and private medical universities across Pakistan having some level of research experience and good communication skills. Data triangulation was employed to collect qualitative data through open-ended survey, face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions. Using the information of one method to inform the rest, linked trajectories were established that allowed validation of information at each level. Data was coded manually by two researchers independently. Data was subjected to inductive thematic analysis. Of the 33 subjects, 17(51.5%) were males, 17(51.5%) were from private medical colleges, 18(54.5%) were from Karachi, and 11(33.3%) were in the final year of medical school. Overall, 13(39.4%) students completed the open-ended survey, 6(18.2%) completed face-to-face interviews, and 14(42.4%) participated in focus group discussions. Thematic analysis showed that students were interested in research to improve their career prospects, but not all were passionate about it. Students were not satisfied with the quality of research being conducted in the country. Dearth of motivated faculty, unavailability of well-maintained and digitalised data registries, ineffective research methodology teaching and lack of access to medical journals and research software were the major barriers in undergraduate research. Time constraint was a projecting problem which challenged the students. Frequent research workshops and conferences, strong networking, reorienting curriculum to provide early exposure to research and student-led initiatives were suggested to improve undergraduate research in Pakistan. Students' lack of initiative coupled with administrative and faculty-related issues pose a serious threat to the future of evidence-based medicine. Proposed solutions offer a ray of hope to the future of undergraduate research in Pakistan.

Formation of Communication Skills of Younger Schoolchildren with Mental Retardation through Theatrical Activities

The article presents the practical aspects of studying the formation of communication skills of younger schoolchildren with mental retardation in the process of extracurricular theatrical activities. The specifics of the phenomenon of communication skills and the influence of theatrical activities on their formation are analyzed. In the course of the pilot study, it was found that at the ascertaining stage of the experiment, children of primary school age with mental retardation showed low levels of communication skills, indicating insufficient communicative competence, ineffective communicative interaction, insufficiently developed activity in the field of displaying and transmitting action landmarks: In order to form communication skills among younger schoolchildren with mental retardation, a program was developed that consists of three stages: preparatory, main and final. At the control stage of the experiment, the indicators of the development of communication skills became higher in the experimental group, which indicates the effectiveness of the use of the psycho-correction program by means of theatricalization, aimed at increasing the communication skills of children of primary school age with mental retardation.

Mathematical Communication Based on Maslow's Theory: A Study of Learning Motivation in Elementary School Students

Mathematical communication skills are of utmost importance for students to effectively solve mathematical problems. However, the evidence suggests that elementary school students still exhibit very low levels of communication skills. Communication skills are influenced significantly by various factors, and one of these factors is learning motivation. This study aims to describe and analyze the mathematical communication abilities of students in the topic of linear equations of two variables, taking into account their learning motivation based on Maslow's theory. The research design employed in this study is descriptive qualitative. The data collection instruments consist of written tests on the topic of a two-variable linear equation system, non-test instruments in the form of questionnaires to assess students' learning motivation based on Maslow's theory, and semi-structured interview guidelines. The subjects of the study were fifth-grade students at SDN Kedungsari Purwerejo, and a sample of six students was selected using purposive sampling. The data analysis technique involved data reduction, data visualization, and drawing conclusions. The research findings indicate that students who fulfill all aspects of Maslow's theoretical hierarchy exhibit higher learning motivation. This is evident in the differences observed in their responses to the questions. Students who fulfill all aspects of Maslow's theoretical hierarchy put in more effort to provide detailed and clear answers, while students who only fulfill some aspects of Maslow's theoretical hierarchy tend to answer questions more straightforwardly without providing a more elaborate explanation.

Covid-19 as a Black Swan. University Education Adaptation to Online Learning in the Second Wave of the Coronavirus Pandemic from the Perspective of Students and Academics

In 2020 and 2021, modern society faced a historically unprecedented situation in the field of education. Education systems worldwide underwent a massive transformation from conventional forms of face-to-face learning to distance learning alternatives. This forced transformation of teaching, triggered by the global COVID-19 pandemic, has been a major test of resilience and adaptability for universities and other academic institutions. This emergency situation, and the way it was handled, was the subject of empirical study by the University of Finance and Administration in the form of a questionnaire-based survey focused concurrently on students and academics during the 2020/2021 academic year, during what has been referred to as the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. We observed the attitudes of students and academics, then broke these down to greater levels of detail through mutual confrontation in the areas of evaluating the quality of online education, the decreasing or increasing levels of interest in courses, the level of communication skills of educators, or their availability during online office hours. We also explored the key question of the role and significance of the absence of physical interactions that characterizes distance learning. The empirical data point to ambivalence in the perceptions of online learning in both populations studied. While, on the one hand, there are clear collective expressions of confidence in the communication skills of educators, partly in the overall quality of the online instruction they provide and partly in their willingness to continue to enhance it in subsequent semesters, on the other hand, the expectations of students were not fully met in certain subjects, which was marked by a palpable decline in interest. One criterion that was critical for the emotional acceptance of online learning is the absence of physical interaction and presence in the school environment. It would therefore appear that the ideal model for future education is a combination of full-time and distance learning that would combine their respective benefits, while eliminating their perceived shortcomings.

Vocabulary Mastery on Business Communication Skills of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) Students: Basis for a Business Correspondence Guide

This study examined the relationship between vocabulary mastery and business communication skills of hospitality management students in HEIs in Oriental Mindoro. A descriptive research design was utilized. In the quantitative case, the hospitality management students’ vocabulary mastery using the VLT and VST, their level of business communication skills, and the relationship between vocabulary mastery and business communication skills were described. Respondents of the study were the 89 hospitality management students selected through a stratified random sampling method using GPower Analysis. Results revealed that there is no significant relationship between vocabulary level and business communication skills. However, results also showed that there is a significant relationship between vocabulary size as to 20, 000 version B and business communication skills in terms of instructional. This indicates that the total vocabulary size of hospitality management students or how many words they know is closely related to their proficiency in business communication within the context of hospitality management instruction requiring the use of industry-specific terminology, jargon, and professional language.

Interpersonal Communication Model on Parenting with Adolescent

The role of parents becomes relational reframing for adolescents; with all the turmoil and characteristics that adolescents have, communication between parents and adolescents is the key to success in the parenting process. This study aims to prove the interpersonal models of parents-adolescents who are influenced by self-compassion and self-disclosure, either directly or indirectly. The method of this study is a quantitative correlation, with the sampling technique purposive sampling. The participants of the study numbered 287 parents, consisting of 98 fathers and 189 mothers. The instruments used are ICS (Interpersonal Communication Scale) by Campbell (2006), SCS (Self-Compassion Scale) by Neff (2003), and Self-Disclosure Scale by Whells & Grotz (1997). The analysis showed that the interpersonal communication model was proven to influence self-compassion and self-disclosure directly. However, self-disclosure does not prove to be a mediator variable between self-compassion and interpersonal communication. The score showed that self-compassion - interpersonal communication had an influence of β = 0.399 (39.9%) with p = 0.000, and self-disclosure - interpersonal communication had an influence of β = 0.282 (28.2%) with p = 0.007. The demographic analysis also found that fathers have higher self-compassion than mothers. At the educational level, it also shows differences in the level of interpersonal communication skills, self-compassion, and self-disclosure.

This research is a reference for teachers to make flipbooks using Flip PDF Professional software which can assist the learning process and further researchers can conduct research and development of flipbooks in collaboration with other software on different material and mathematical abilities

Adaptive skills in children with mucopolysaccharidoses

Introduction. Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of rare lethal lysosomal storage disoders. The progress in pathogenetic and symptomatic treatment, achieved in the last two decades, has resulted in increased life expectancy of patients. Assessment of functional abilities of patients is necessary for optimization of medical, psychological, and pedagogical support. 
 The aim of the study. To study the adaptive skills, measured with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, and the impact of enzyme-replacement therapy on adaptive skills in MPS children.
 Materials and methods. A semi-structured interview for Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales filling was carried out with one of the parents of 59 children with MPS. 41 patients had neuronopathic disease: 20 children received pathogenetic еnzyme replacement therapy (ERT), 21 patients didn’t receive ERT. 18 patients exhibited non-neuronopathic disease: 8 children received ERT, 10 — didn’t receive pathogenetic therapy. Dynamical changes in adaptive skills were investigated in 11 patients with neuronopathic MPS. 
 Results. Low level of adaptive motor, communication, daily living and socialization skills and their dynamical regress, stagnation or decele­ration are characteristic for children with neuronopathic MPS. More than 75% of non-neuronopathic MPS patients have moderately low and low levels of adaptive behavior composite. ERT hasn’t demonstrated significant impact on adaptive skills in MPS patients. Non-significant tendency toward better level of communication skills has been noticed in children, receiving pathogenetic therapy. Necessity of weekly infusion may have a negative influence on patients’ socialization. 
 Conclusion. Elaboration of motor, pedagogical, and social rehabilitation programs is needed for correction of deficiency in adaptive skills and achieving adequate social adaptation in MPS children with preserved cognitive abilities.
