The Effect of Emotional Intelligence Training on Self-Efficacy in Nursing Students

Students who are in the last semester of their degree often experience stress because of their academic tasks. Stress that cannot be controlled can have a negative impact, especially emotionally, which can result in a decrease in self-efficacy. The objective of this research was to identify the effect of emotional intelligence training on self-efficacy in nursing students. This research was quasi-experimental (pre-test post-test with a control group), and 60 undergraduate nursing students at level 3 were recruited using purposive sampling. The measuring instrument used was the General Self Efficacy questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of respondents in this study were women (81.7%) with an average age of 20-21 years. The paired t test showed that in the intervention group there was a significant difference in the average values of the pre-test and post-test (p < 0.001), whereas in the control group there was no significant different (p = 0.549). The ANCOVA test results produced a p-value < 0.001, showing that emotional intelligence training led to increased self-efficacy in nursing students at STIKep PPNI West Java. It is hoped that with this research, the campus can conduct an assessment of the level of student self-efficacy on a regular basis, so that self-efficacy in students can always be monitored.

ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH MATEMATIS DITINJAU DARI KEPERCAYAAN DIRI

Mathematical problem solving abilities and students' self- efficacy are still not optimal, so they need to be studied. This study aimed to describe the mathematical problem solving ability of class IX students of SMP Negeri 1 Baula in terms of self- efficacy . The type of this research was qualitative. The research subjects were 56 students of class IX SMP Negeri 1 Baula. The instruments were in the form of a self- efficacy questionnaire (18 statement items), 3 test questions of mathematical problem solving abilities, and interview guidelines. Data analysis covered data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. There were three findings in this study as follows. Firstly, students' self- efficacy from 56 students consisted of high self- efficacy (6 students), medium (24 students), and low (26 students). Secondly, the number of students whose problem solving ability were being measured was in high category (5 students), medium category (24 students), and low category (27 students). And lastly, the students with high self- efficacy and high problem solving ability were able to meet the four indicators of problem solving ability. The students with moderate self- efficacy and moderate problem-solving abilities were less able to meet the four indicators of problem-solving abilities. While the students with low self-efficacy and low problem solving ability were not able to meet the four indicators of problem solving ability. So it can be concluded that the higher the students' self- efficacy is, the easier the students solve the problems. On the other hand, the lower the student's self- efficacy is, the more difficult the students solve the problems.

Teachers’ Collective Efficacy as a Predictor of Students’ Academic Performance in North Central Nigeria

Public secondary schools in Nigeria occupy a significant position for providing qualitative education, yet there has been increasing public discontent with the quality of students being produced in the country’s public secondary schools. Teachers are regarded as one of the resources necessary for achieving the goals of secondary education. It is against this backdrop that this study examined teachers’ collective efficacy as a predictor of students’ academic performance in North Central Nigeria. Three research questions and hypotheses were generated to guide the study, which made use of a correlation-type descriptive research design with a population consisting of all teachers in the North Central region. An instrument titled the Teachers’ Collective Efficacy Questionnaire (TCEQ) was developed to elicit pertinent data from the participants. Also, students’ academic achievement was measured. The results of the study revealed that no substantial nexus existed between the teachers’ experience and the students’ academic achievement. However, the teachers’ verbal encouragement was found to be an important predictor of the learners’ academic success. Similarly, the teachers’ academic emphasis was a significant predictor of the learners’ academic performance. Based on this, it was established that teachers’ collective efficacy is an important predictor that can be used to improve students’ academic achievement. The study recommended that education administrators should acquaint their staff with the importance of collective efficacy towards improving students’ academic performance. It was also recommended that the government should organize workshops, seminars, and conferences for the supervisors, principals, and teachers of schools on efficacy issues and that teachers should be well motivated to maintain a high degree of efficacy in their various schools.

693 Sleep Health in the Young Adult Clinic: A retrospective observational cohort study

Abstract Introduction The Toronto Academic Pain Medicine Institute (TAPMI) Young Adult Clinic (YAC) was developed to offer transition services for clients aged 17–25 with persistent pain. It was noticed that YAC patients had significant problems with their sleep and the program was expanded in January 2019 by including a sleep medicine specialist for systematic evaluation of sleep health. Long-term sleep disruption has been associated with increase sensitivity to pain, prolonged pain duration, and predicts chronic pain. The degree of pain relief can directly impact the quality and disruption of sleep. Methods After approval from institutional review board, we reviewed YAC medical charts from March 2018 to April 2019 and extracted information pertaining to demographics, chronic pain and sleep. We present here the preliminary data of our multidisciplinary clinic Results 55 medical charts were reviewed which included 40 females, 13 males, 2 nonbinary individuals, with a mean age of 20.3±2.4 years. 53% of the patients had chronic widespread pain. Symptoms of or disorder of sleep were reported in 72.7% of the patients. The various nighttime disorders of sleep were trouble falling asleep, insomnia, problems with sleep initiation, difficulty in maintaining sleep, poor sleep continuity, frequent night awakenings due to pain, restless leg syndrome (RLS), obstructive sleep apnea, parasomnic behavior, circadian rhythm disorder such as delayed sleep phase disorder. As assessed by Epworth Sleepiness scale, 7% of the patients had mild, 7% had moderate and 2% had severe daytime sleepiness. 42% of the youths demonstrated a low self-efficacy score as per Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ). Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to measure the severity of depression which showed that 5.5%, 27%, 18%, 14.5%, 22% of the YAC patients suffered from minimal, mild, moderate, moderately-severe and severe depression respectively. The information collected on Pain Catastrophizing scale (PCS) suggested that 24%, 29% and 31% were at low, moderate, and high risk respectively in having catastrophizing thoughts and feelings related to pain. There was no statistical difference in the means PSEQ, PHQ-9 and PCS scores of young adults. Conclusion Sleep disturbances may be an important modifiable risk factor for alleviating distress in young adults with chronic pain. Support (if any):

Educational guidance for functional visual diversity in Nicaragua. Design and evaluation of a teacher-training program

The article exposes the process of design and implementation of a training program for teachers that teach people with Visual Functional Diversity (VFD), taking into account their needs both in training and in the provision of resources in Nicaragua. To verify the effectiveness of the program, a quasi-experimental design was carried out with a non-equivalent pretest and posttest control group. The experimental group received training while the control group did not receive training. The evaluation of the results obtained after the application of the program was carried out through two instruments: an efficacy questionnaire and a satisfaction questionnaire. The results showed significant differences between the experimental and control group after the application of the program (Z = −4,383; p = 0.000) in favor of the experimental group. It is confirmed that the program is effective in training teachers on inclusive education for the visually impaired as the teachers who took part in the training program significantly increased their knowledge in that issue.
