Transition readiness of adolescents with cancer: A cross-sectional study based on self-determination theory

PurposeThis study aimed to assess the transition readiness of adolescents with cancer in central China and to explore the paths associated with transition readiness based on self-determination theory (SDT). MethodsSelf-management and transition to adulthood with Rx = treatment questionnaire, patient activation measure, perceived social support scale and general self-efficacy scale were used to measure transition readiness as well as constructs pertaining to SDT (competence, relatedness and autonomy). The factors influencing transition readiness were evaluated using multiple linear regression. Models 4 and 6 in PROCESS Macro 3.3 were used to test the mediating effects and chain mediating effects, respectively. ResultsA total of 217 adolescents with cancer were included; their mean transition readiness score was 59.95 (11.34). Age (t = 6.086, p < 0.000), duration of diagnosis (t = 2.218, p = 0.028), completion of treatment (t = −2.036, p = 0.043), insurance, and competence (t = 11.149, p < 0.000) were significantly associated with transition readiness. The direct effects of self-efficacy and perceived social support on transition readiness were not significant. However, two chain mediating paths were observed: perceived social support - self-efficacy - patient activation - transition readiness and self-efficacy - perceived social support - patient activation - transition readiness; the effect values of these paths were 0.0678 and 0.0703, respectively. ConclusionsThe findings of this study add to the evidence supporting the use of SDT-related constructs to promote transition readiness among adolescents with cancer, highlight the importance of encouraging patient activation, and clarify the ancillary roles of social support and self-efficacy in patient activation development during transitional period.

고학년 대학생의 자기효능감과 진로준비행동의 관계에서 취업스트레스의 매개효과

Objectives The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating role of job-seeking stress, especially in relationship between self-efficacy and career preparation behavior of senior undergraduates who consider employment, and to provide implications for career counseling based on the study.&#x0D; Methods The study is based on the survey participation of senior undergraduates(including the students who are in extra semesters and maintain scholarly) in Seoul, Gyeonggi-Incheon, and other regions. Demographic variables, general self-efficacy, career preparation behavior and job-seeking stress were studied among 250 respondents who answered that they were considering employment and the data was analyzed by using SPSS 29.0 and Process Macro to verify the research questions.&#x0D; Results The result revealed that there was a positive correlation between self-efficacy and career preparation behavior of the senior undergraduates, a negative correlation between self-efficacy and job-seeking stress, and job-seeking stress partially mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and career preparation behavior. The direct effect of self-efficacy on career preparation behavior was larger than the total effect, so job-seeking stress was found to be a suppressor variable.&#x0D; Conclusions For senior undergraduates who do not have experience in practical career behavior despite having high self-efficacy, the study suggests that it is required to intervene after evaluating their job-seeking stress level.

The association of self-efficacy and coping strategies with body mass index is mediated by eating behaviors and dietary intake among young females: A structural-equation modeling approach.

Globally, around three billion people are either under- or overweight. Speculating the different roles of psychological factors in body weight between over- and underweight people, it was first hypothesized that whether or not the effects of self-efficacy and coping strategies on body mass index (BMI) is different between these two groups. We secondly predicted that their association is mediated by nutritional factors. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study was conducted to model the impact of self-efficacy and coping strategies on eating behaviors, dietary intake and BMI, using structural equation modeling in two BMI groups: low-to-normal-BMI (LBMI: BMI<21.75 kg/m2) and normal-to-high-BMI (HBMI: 21.75 kg/m2 ≤ BMI). Female participants (N = 250, aged ≥18) were included using convenience sampling method and data of self-efficacy, coping strategies, eating behaviors and dietary intake were collected via questionnaires. The model fit was evaluated and confirmed by fit indices. The analysis revealed in both groups the participants tended to adopt emotion-focused coping strategy (EFCS) more than problem-focused coping strategy (PFCS) (mean score: 61.82 (7.96) vs 49.21 (6.73)). The HBMI group tended to use EFCS more than the LBMI group (P<0.001). In the LBMI group, self-efficacy, PFCS and EFCS had positive effects on BMI. Only the direct effect of self-efficacy (β = 0.314, P<0.001) and the indirect effects of PFCS and EFCS (through increasing unhealthy eating behaviors; β = 0.127, P<0.01, β = 0.095, P<0.05, respectively) were significant. In the HBMI group, self-efficacy had negative effect on BMI (both directly (β = -0.229, P<0.05) and indirectly (β = -0.103, P<0.05) by decreasing unhealthy eating behaviors). PFCS had no effect and EFCS had an indirect, positive effect on BMI (through increasing unhealthy eating behaviors, β = 0.162, P = 0.001). In conclusion, these findings suggest that improving self-efficacy and coping-strategies seems helpful to have a healthy BMI in both BMI groups and further interventions to reduce EFCS should be limited to overweight people.

Depression-related factors in nursing students: A path analysis.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of self-efficacy and automatic thoughts on depression as mediated by anxiety in nursing students. This was a descriptive study to identify direct and indirect variables that affect depression levels of nursing students and to examine the relationship between independent variables. A total of 477 students from the Nursing Department participated in the study. As a result of the data analysis, the direct effect of self-efficacy and automatic thoughts on depression was found to be significant. The effect of automatic thoughts on depression as mediated by anxiety was significant. It is thought that understanding the relationship between these variables will be useful in designing appropriate interventions for university students with depression, especially for nursing students.

The effect of educational intervention on nutritional behavior in pregnant women based on social cognitive theory

Background One of the key issues for women’s health is pregnancy. Healthy nutrition during pregnancy is a reliable guarantee for proper pregnancy and childbirth. This study sought to determine the impact of an educational intervention based on social cognitive theory on the nutritional behavior of pregnant women in Iran Methods This randomized controlled trial study was carried out in women of reproductive age in Iran, from February to April 2020. The samples were divided into experimental (n = 150) and control (n = 150) groups. The questionnaire included demographic questions, questions related to the structures of social cognitive theory and nutritional behavior questionnaire. The data were analyzed through the SPSS20 and AMOS23 software. Results The mean age of the women was 28.11 ± 6.54 and 28.83 ± 6.62 years in the intervention and control groups, respectively. The results of the Structural Equation Model showed that direct effect of self-efficacy, self-regulation, and mutual determinants on behavior were significant. After the educational intervention, nutritional behavior in the experimental group was increased significantly. Also, there was a significant difference between two groups in structures such as outcome expectations, outcome value, self-efficacy and knowledge. But there was no significant increase in the self-regulation and social support after educational intervention. Conclusion Social cognitive theory as a theoretical framework is able to predict healthy eating behavior during pregnancy. Also educational intervention based on the structures of social cognitive theory, improved the behavior of pregnant mothers. Educational intervention based on social cognitive theory and providing simple and understandable training packages for pregnant women is recommended.

The Effect of Modeling on Self-Efficacy and Flow State of Adolescent Athletes Through Role Models.

This study aimed to verify the effects of role modeling on adolescent athletes’ self-efficacy and flow state. The subjects were middle school and high school athletes registered with the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee. From the collected data, descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation model analysis were performed. To verify the mediating effects of self-efficacy in the relationship between modeling and flow state, structural equation modeling analysis was conducted. The direct effects of adolescent athlete modeling on flow state (β = 0.416, B = 0.244, p < 0.01) and self-efficacy (β = 0.479, B = 0.500, p < 0.01) were all significant, and the direct effects of self-efficacy on flow state (β = 0.404, B = 0.227, p < 0.01) were also significant. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the indirect effect of modeling on flow state (β = 0.194, B = 0.114, p < 0.01) was significant, and that the partial mediated effects of self-efficacy were significant. Thus, we confirmed that when adolescent athlete use modeling through a role model, their self-efficacy increased which in turn led to a positive effect on the ability to achieve a flow state.

Factors influencing the adoption of mobile payment systems in Indonesia

PurposeThis empirical study aims to determine factors that influence an individual’s intention to use mobile payment (MP) systems. The study investigates direct, indirect and total effects as well as factors that mediate or moderate effects on intention.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical model is derived from previous studies and combines factors from technology acceptance model and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, facilitating conditions, behavioral intention) with factors relevant to MP (perceived security, uncertainty avoidance, trust, network externalities and self-efficacy). Gender, age, MP experience and income are included as moderators of direct effects on behavioral intention. The sample includes 736 participants from the four large cities in Indonesia. Structural equation modeling is used to analyze and develop the theoretical model.FindingsSelf-efficacy has the greatest total effect on behavioral intention, followed in decreasing order of importance by perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, trust, network externalities and uncertainty Avoidance. only gender and MP experience have significant moderating effects whereby the direct effects of self-efficacy and network externalities on behavioral intention are influenced by gender and MP experience, respectively. Trust, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have important mediation effects.Originality/valueThis study fills the gap in the limited theoretical understanding of MP adoption in Indonesia. New theoretical findings related to mediating and moderating effects, direct, indirect, and total effects are used to discuss important practical implications of the findings.

Health Promotion Model on Preventive Behaviors of Risk Factors for Adults’ Metabolic Syndrome in Ponorogo, Indonesia

In Ponorogo, there are three risk factors for metabolic syndrome higher than national numbers that are 74% of physical inactivity with 26.1 % of national number, 46.9% of hypertension risk with 26.6% of national number, and 40.6% of weight with 28.9% of national number (Rosjidi et al., 2015). This research aimed at finding out the effects of individual beliefs, social capital and other effects on preventive behaviors of risk factors for adults&amp;rsquo; metabolic syndrome. This control case study was employed on October 2019 in Ponorogo Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The dependent variables were preventive behaviors of risk factors for metabolic syndrome. The independent variables were perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, governmental support, peer support, social capital, imitation, collective efficacy, and outcome expectations. The data was obtained using questionnaires and then analyzed by using a path analysis of 13 strata program. There were direct effects of self-efficacy, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived severity on preventive behaviors of risk factors for metabolic syndrome. There were indirect effects of perceived susceptibility toward perceived severity, perceived benefits toward perceived barriers, governmental support toward perceived barriers, peer support toward imitation, collective efficacy toward self-efficacy, imitation toward self-efficacy, outcome expectations toward perceived benefits, social capital toward collective efficacy, imitation through toward preventive behaviors of risk factors for metabolic syndrome.

Self-efficacy and fatigue among non-frontline health care workers during COVID-19 outbreak: A moderated mediation model of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms and negative coping.

PurposesSince a considerable number of health care workers (HCWs) were sent to Wuhan to aid COVID-19 control during the epidemic, non-frontline HCWs who stayed in local hospitals had to work overload to provide daily health care services for other health issues, which makes them more vulnerable to experience fatigue. Self-efficacy is suggested as a protective factor for fatigue. Nonetheless, less is known regarding the underlying mechanisms. This research aimed to explore the prevalence of fatigue among non-frontline HCWs during the pandemic, investigate the mediating effect of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and moderating effect of negative coping in the association between self-efficacy and fatigue.MethodsGeneral Self-Efficacy Scale, PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and 14-item Fatigue Scale were administrated to 527 non-frontline HCWs from Anhui Province, China. The mediating effect was examined by Mackinnon’s four-step procedure, while Hayes PROCESS macro was used to test the moderated mediation model.ResultsThe prevalence of fatigue among non-frontline HCWs was 56.7%. The effect of self-efficacy on fatigue was partially mediated by PTSD symptoms (ab = -0.146, SE = 0.030, 95% CI = [-0.207, -0.095]). Additionally, negative coping moderated both the direct effect of self-efficacy on fatigue (β = -0.158, P<0.001) and the mediating effect of PTSD symptoms (β = 0.077, P = 0.008). When the standard score of negative coping increased to 1.49 and over, the direct association between self-efficacy and fatigue became insignificant. Likewise, the effect of self-efficacy on PTSD symptoms had no statistical significance when the standard score of negative coping was -1.40 and lower.ConclusionsMore than half non-frontline HCWs suffered from fatigue during COVID-19. For those who tend to use negative coping, it might be crucial to design programs combining the enhancement of self-efficacy, preventions for PTSD symptoms and interventions for fatigue.

Self-Efficacy, Academic Motivation, and Self-Regulation: How Do They Predict Academic Achievement for Medical Students?

Self-efficacy, academic motivation, and self-regulation have been identified as important factors contributing to students' learning success in general education. In the field of medical education, however, few studies have examined these variables or their interrelationships as predictors of undergraduate medical students' learning outcomes, especially in the context of flipped learning. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), this study explored the impact of self-efficacy on 146 first- and second-year medical students' academic achievement in a flipped-learning environment, and whether such impact (if any) was mediated by academic motivation and self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies. On average, students scored highest on self-efficacy (mean = 5 out of a possible 7), followed by intrinsic motivation (mean = 4.59), resource-management strategies (mean = 4.48), metacognitive strategies (mean = 4.46), extrinsic motivation (mean = 4.24), and cognitive strategies (mean = 4.17). Our SEM results suggest that, while there was a direct effect of self-efficacy on learning outcomes, academic motivation and SRL strategies did not mediate it. By unpacking the structural relationships among self-efficacy, academic motivation, SRL strategies, and learning outcomes, this study provides evidence-based support for the importance of promoting students' self-efficacy in undergraduate medical flipped-learning environments. Strategies for increasing students' self-efficacy are also discussed.

Medical students’ motivation and academic performance: the mediating roles of self-efficacy and learning engagement

ABSTRACT Background: Motivation matters in medical students’ academic performance. However, few studies have specifically examined how motivation and external environmental factors (e.g., institutions) affect medical students’ performance with large-scale data sets. The roles of self-efficacy and learning engagement in the mechanisms that govern how motivation affects academic performance are still unclear. Objective: This study aims to advance a comprehensive understanding about the relationships between medical students’ motivation, self-efficacy, learning engagement, and academic performance in a nationwide survey, taking students’ demographic factors and sociocultural environments into consideration. Design: We collected data from 1930 medical students in China. We probed the relations between studying variables. We then performed structural equation model (SEM) analysis to examine the mediating roles of self-efficacy and learning engagement on the relationship between motivation and academic performance. We further carried out multiple-group SEM analyses to compare differences between males and females, and between students in key universities and colleges (KUCs) and non-key universities and colleges (NKUCs). Results: Medical students in KUCs demonstrated significantly higher intrinsic motivation, better academic performance and lower extrinsic motivation than those in NKUCs. Male students reported higher intrinsic motivation but surprisingly lower academic performance than females. The total effect of intrinsic motivation on academic performance was larger than that of extrinsic motivation. There were significant indirect effects of either intrinsic or extrinsic motivation on academic performance through learning engagement. Besides, both intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation predicted self-efficacy; however, the direct effect of self-efficacy on academic performance was not significant. Conclusions: This study provided researchers with a holistic picture of students’ types of motivation in relation to academic performance. Findings from this study can help in rethinking the role of self-efficacy in medicine, in finding more effective interventions for promoting medical students’ levels of motivation, and in developing motivation-related counselling methods for different groups of medical students.

Towards an Integrative Model of Achievement Outcomes in Research Writing: A Predictive Analysis of Personal, Behavioural, and Environmental Factors.

The study examined the influence of self-efficacy (PF), student engagement (BF), and mentorship (EF) on student’s achievement outcome in research writing. The participants in the study were graduating students and were composed of a sample size of N=257. Convenience and snowball sampling techniques were adopted in the sample selection from within the university. The study employed an explanatory research design and used a one-way and factorial ANOVA as the statistical techniques for data analysis. All one-way ANOVA to determine the direct effects of Self-efficacy F(1, 255)= 6.46, p&lt;.011, Student Engagement effect F(1, 255)=4.40, p&lt;.036 and Mentoring F(1, 255)=17.38, p&lt;.000 on Student’s achievement outcome in research writing were statistically significant, including the factorial ANOVA to determine the interaction effect of self-efficacy × student engagement × mentoring F(1,249)=9.56, p&lt;.002. The interaction result suggests that students with high self-efficacy, high engagement and positive mentoring are likely to have high levels of achievement outcome in research writing. In contrast, a combination of low self-efficacy, negative mentoring and low student engagement is likely to lead to a very low achievement outcome in research writing.
