Impact of social media on Youth: Comprehensive Analysis

The advent of social media has revolutionized the way youth communicate, express themselves, and interact with the world. This study explores the multifaceted impact of social media on young individuals, considering both the positive and negative effects of social media on youths, and provides a solution. A thorough examination of relevant research and existing literature, this study aims to shed light on the influence social media has on various aspects of youth’s lives. The positive impact of social media on youth is evident in enhanced communication and connectivity, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Social media platforms provide a wealth of information and educational resources, allowing young people to access diverse perspectives and knowledge. Moreover, it has become a powerful tool for raising social awareness, encouraging activism, and promoting positive causes, empowering the youth to be change-makers in their communities. However, alongside these benefits, social media also presents several negative consequences for youth. Excessive use can lead to mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and feelings of inadequacy, exacerbated by the culture of comparison and unrealistic standards prevalent on these platforms. Cyberbullying and privacy concerns pose serious risks to young individuals, impacting their emotional well-being and safety. This abstract delves into the ways social media affects various aspects of youth’s lives, including education, self-expression, identity formation, and career development. It highlights the potential for distraction and the impact on academic performance due to excessive usage. Additionally, the role of social media in shaping body image concerns and influencing consumer behavior among youth is addressed. By examining the role of parents, educational institutions, and society in guiding and managing the use of social media among youth, this abstract emphasizes the importance of promoting responsible digital citizenship.

Adaptación transcultural del Trans Women Voice Questionnaire (TWVQ) para mujeres trans hablantes del español de uso en Argentina

ContextIn trans women, the physiological aspects of their voices that may be different from expected, either by them or other people they interact with, may result in limitations in their daily lives generating feelings of inadequacy, restricting social interaction, and impacting their overall psychosocial well-being. ObjectiveThe objective was to undertake the transcultural adaptation of the TWVQ and test its face and content validity, as well as its conceptual, practical, and lingüistic equivalence to measure the self-perception of trans women's voices from Argentina and its impact on their daily lives in relation to their health. MethodThis study followed the World Health Organization guidelines for transcultural adaptations recommended by the author of the original TWVQ Georgia Dacakis. The adaptation underwent five different stages. I – Two forward translations (from English to Spanish from Argentina), II – expert panel revision, III – interview with a group of trans women to test comprehension, IV – two back translations (from Argentinian Spanish back to English), and V – pre-testing and cognitive interviewing with a group of trans women. ConclusionThe TWVQ-AR is valid in face and content validity as well as in conceptual, practical, and lingüistic equivalence to the original TWVQ to successfully measure the self-perception of trans women's voices from Argentina and its impact on their daily lives in relation to their health.

Near-peer teaching in a psychomotor skills course: Benefits, challenges and solutions.

This study evaluates the perceptions and experiences of students in the role of near-peer teachers in a psychomotor skills course. Final year BDS students were invited to participate as near-peer teachers in a 4th-year conventional bridges course. Near-peer teachers attended eight sessions (3 h) of simulation laboratory teaching relating to conventional bridge tooth preparations and provided feedback on near-peer tooth preparations and answered their questions. Interviews were conducted with all near-peer teachers to evaluate their perceptions of this novel teaching and learning experience and a thematic analysis was performed to analyse the data. Near-peer teachers reported this to be a rewarding, enjoyable and challenging experience. They benefited from learning and revising content-related materials as well as gained insights and teaching skills through the peer teaching process. Students felt supported and learned from peers and teaching staff and some used dyad teaching as a strategy to overcome perceived challenges. Students also reported the benefits of social and cognitive congruence in interacting with junior peers. However, students reported the feeling of inadequacy or lack of confidence and suggested the need for a training to prepare them better for the course. This paper reports on the benefits as well as challenges perceived by near-peer teachers during simulation laboratory teaching experience. We provide solutions into how to better prepare students for such teaching experience.

Resilience and empathy in pharmacy interns: Insights from a three-year cohort study

BackgroundResilience and empathy are important attributes for healthcare professionals to navigate challenging work environments and providing patient-centred care. Knowledge about pharmacists' levels of resilience and empathy, particularly during the early stages of their careers, is limited. ObjectivesTo explore pharmacy interns' levels of resilience and empathy using the Connor-Davidson-Resilience-Scale-25 (CD-RISC-25) and the Kiersma-Chen-Empathy-Scale (KCES), examine potential associations with demographic characteristics and ascertain what challenges interns' resilience and which support mechanisms they identify. MethodsHard copies of the surveys were distributed to three cohorts during face-to-face intern pharmacy workshops from 2020 to 2022. Additionally, a qualitative questionnaire explored interns' experiences while completing an accredited internship program during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, open-ended questions were analysed through qualitative and quantitative content analysis. ResultsAmong 134 completed surveys, most respondents were female, aged 18–22, and worked in hospitals. The CD-RISC-25 mean score was 66.6 (SD 11.7) and the KCES mean was 84.3 (SD 9.23) indicative of intermediate levels of resilience and empathy. Resilience and empathy scores did not significantly differ between the three cohorts (p-value > 0.05), and both were not consistently correlated with each other (p-value > 0.05). No significant associations were found between demographic characteristics and resilience scores. However, age and pre-internship employment history showed a statistically significant association with empathy scores (p-value < 0.05), with younger age groups and those who worked part-time during undergraduate studies demonstrating higher levels of empathy. Challenges undermining interns' resilience included the COVID-19 pandemic, internship requirements, and feelings of inadequacy and inexperience. ConclusionsThis study showed that resilience and empathy scores among interns were at what can be regarded as intermediate levels, largely unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic or cohort demographics. It highlights professional aspects and strategies which are professionally sustaining and may assist interns in navigating challenges to their resilience and empathy.

Predictors of psychopathologic symptoms by work-related stress factors in Mental Health Professionals of a tertiary-level Psychiatric Hospital in Mexico City

Introduction: Mexico has a high prevalence of work stress; mental health professionals are a vulnerable group who experience demanding environments that place their own mental health at risk. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the work-related stress levels and development of psychopathology in mental health professionals of a tertiary-level psychiatric hospital in Mexico City. Methods: The study included 90 mental health professionals, utilizing two questionnaires: (1) to analyze the level of occupational stress, the Stress Work Instrument (SWI) for Mexican physicians was employed; and (2) for symptomatic distress, the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) was applied. Two theoretical assumptions’ (‘Effort-Reward’ for Karasek and “Effort-Reward Imbalance” for Siegrist) were used to propose an analytical model based on structural equations. Results: The model obtained showed a high and positive structural coefficient (0.76). The goodness-of-fit for the model was acceptable (χ2 = 51.22, p = .02; CFI = .97; RMSEA = 0.08). This study showed a causal explanation for the generation of distress, and the model detected a strong and significant effect from work stress to distress. Conclusion: We conclude that the model obtained predicts a significant effect of work-related stress on mental health such as anxiety, depression, somatization, and feelings of inadequacy in mental health professionals. Therefore, work-related stress factors should be minimized thus preventing distress to ensure that psychiatric personnel enjoy physical and mental health enabling them for efficient and professional clinical practice.

Incidence and occurrence of academic burnout: The impact of personality, self-efficacy and self-esteem and post-pandemic effects

Academic burnout is a health issues that largely interests the global community and troubles students at all academic levels. Despite the significant effects on students’ quality of life, well-being, and academic performance, yet, it has not been adequately examined. Therefore, this study is aimed at exploring the levels of academic burnout, the personality’s role as predictor (through Big Five Factors) and the effect of protective factor like self-efficacy and self-esteem. Moreover, in an innovative way, a multi-group analysis will be proposed to verify differences between the variables observed in the COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 period. Through a total sample of 609 students, it proposed a multiple-mediation model with a comparison between two phases: pandemic and post-pandemic. Results suggest that among the Big Five Factors, there are strong predictors of the effects of burnout, and specifically that conscientiousness and self-efficacy are important in the management of the academic burnout and that self-esteem could support students and mitigate feelings of inadequacy in different academic challenges. Moreover, the pandemic seems to have worsened emotional instability and negative effect on university stress. Studies such as this provide valuable information for educators and all stakeholders who want to contribute to the education and training for students’ life and educational journey in a way that is certainly more holistic, equitable and accessible to all.

The Effect of Simulation on Nursing Student Perceptions of Readiness to Provide End-of-Life Care.

Evidence suggests that nursing students in a prelicensure nursing program lack the required preparation to care for patients at the end of life (EOL), causing feelings of inadequacy and stress. New graduate nurses (years 0-5) struggle to address the needs of this patient population, leading to considering career changes. Nursing simulation has been shown to enhance competency and is gaining increasing favor in prelicensure nursing education. Little research has been conducted on the application of simulation using standardized patients in EOL patient scenarios. This study used live standardized patients who simulated a home health patient encounter with the nursing student acting as a home health hospice nurse. Watson's theory of caring and interpretive phenomenological analysis guided the qualitative research method and analysis. Five students chose to participate in this simulation and completed 6 reflective questions. After simulation, they felt more comfortable having difficult discussions about EOL care, treatment options, and patient fears. Participants noted the importance of communication in a team setting, which included the caregiver as an integral member. The use of standardized patient-simulated experiences increases realism and provides students the opportunity to bridge the gap between didactic education and clinical practice. This will enhance their readiness and confidence in providing EOL care.

MALLOW APPS: Aplikasi Berbasis Android untuk Pencegahan dan Monitoring Gangguan Depresi

Depression is often defined as a mental condition characterized by severe despondency and dejection, typically also with feelings of inadequacy and guilt, often accompanied by a lack of energy and disturbance of appetite and sleep. Its mortality rate is 800 thousand deaths worldwide. This project aims to make a gamified Android-based application to prevent and treat depression titled Mallow apps.

Impostor Phenomenon Among Family Medicine Residency Program Directors: A CERA Study.

Impostor phenomenon (IP) can be described as feelings of inadequacy that exist despite apparent success. Although IP may be related to multiple important outcomes in physicians, it has not been examined among residency program directors (PDs). The seven-item Leary Impostorism Scale (LIS) was added to the 2021 Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) PD survey. In addition to standard questions, we surveyed PDs about their likelihood to leave their role, whether they started their PD role due to an unexpected transition, their beliefs concerning workplace evaluations relative to self-assessed performance, and their perceived support in completing PD responsibilities. Of the 257 PDs included in the survey (response rate approximately 41%), 28% (N=71) reported no IP. IP did not statistically differ across gender or race. LIS scores were lower among Hispanic/Latino respondents, but only 8% of our sample (N=20) identified as Hispanic/Latino. LIS scores did not significantly differ by PD likelihood to leave their position or for PDs starting their position due to a sudden transition. Respondents who felt that evaluations overestimated actual performance had higher LIS scores, as did those with lower levels of perceived support in completing administrative responsibilities and those with less time in their PD role. Most PD respondents did not report high levels of IP. Short duration of PD role, lack of programmatic support, and negative self-evaluations were correlated with higher levels of IP. Future research should examine interventions or resources to help those with IP thrive.

The influence of sport motivation on college students' subjective exercise experience: a mediation model with moderation.

The degree to which an individual experiences a positive emotional state after exercise is a measurement of how much enjoyment sports bring to the individual. This can also be seen as the individual's essential motivation for engaging in sports, and an indirect means of improving the individual's physical health. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the factors that affect college students' subjective exercise experience and their effecting mechanism, thereby providing a basis for promoting college students' positive emotional experience after exercise. A questionnaire survey on 600 college students was conducted to examine the mediating effect of sport-confidence on the relationship between college students' sport motivation and their subjective exercise experience, and to investigate whether this process is moderated by the feelings of inadequacy. The indirect effect of sport-confidence was significant (95% CI [0.133, 0.276]), and the index of moderated mediation Bootstrap 95% CI [0.003, 0.017] did not contain 0. The results indicated that: (1) sport-confidence had a partial mediating effect between college students' sport motivation and their subjective exercise experience; (2) the mediating effect of sport-confidence was moderated by the feelings of inadequacy, and the feelings of inadequacy moderated the latter half path of the mediating process of sport motivation - sport-confidence - subjective exercise experience. Therefore, the influence of college students' sport motivation on their subjective exercise experience is a moderated mediating model.

Shame and Disavowing Queer Reality

Stigma has been defined as a spoiled identity, a branding that sets a person outside the norm, with potential to elicit feelings of shame. The authors recount firsthand experiences of having felt shame in connection with their queer identities and the disavowal this provoked, until such time as they met serendipitously as researchers with related interests and began sharing memories of being queer in a cis-heteronormative society. Two stories, illustrated in comic form and told in first-person narrative, are centrepieces for analysis in which the authors write against themselves, their past assumptions, and interpretations. Applying insights from queer and feminist decolonial theory, and from arts pedagogy, this autotheoretical analysis demonstrates that, despite the injurious nature of shame, revisiting and recodifying its roots can help one avow queer reality and come to terms with feelings of inadequacy induced by the politics of purity infecting many fledgling efforts at self-expression.

Analyzing the Impact of Social Media on Students using SPSS: Insights and Implications

Students may lose concentration and productivity in their academics by spending hours scrolling through their feeds, participating in online debates, or viewing videos’ students' mental health may be greatly impacted by social media sites. Continual exposure to curated and idealized versions of others' lives can contribute to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and anxiety.

The Impacts of Online Experience on Health and Well-Being: The Overlooked Aesthetic Dimension

It is well-recognized that online experience can carry profound impacts on health and well-being, particularly for young people. Research has already documented influences from cyberbullying, heightened feelings of inadequacy, and the relative decline of face-to-face interactions and active lifestyles. Less attention has been given to the health impacts of aesthetic experiences of online users, particularly gamers and other users of immersive virtual reality (VR) technologies. However, a significant body of research has begun to document the surprisingly strong yet previously unrecognized impacts of aesthetic experiences on health and well-being in other arenas of life. Other researchers have used both fixed laboratory and wearable sensors and, to a lesser extent, user surveys to measure indicators of activation level, mood, and stress level, which detect physiological markers for health. In this study, we assessed the evidence that online sensorial experience is no less important than in the physical world, with the capacity for both harmful effects and salutogenic benefits. We explore the implications for online design and propose an outline for further research.

An Investigation of Social Factors Contributing to Unrealistic Self-Assessment

The phenomenon of self-inflation, characterized by individuals overestimating their abilities and accomplishments, has been observed throughout history and is influenced by various factors. This article explores the underlying reasons for unrealistic self-evaluation, focusing on the impact of socialization, culture, and social media. The formation of self is shaped by feedback and validation received from social relationships, which can lead individuals to overestimate themselves to cope with feelings of inadequacy. Cultural values and norms also play a role, with individualistic cultures promoting self-enhancement while collectivistic cultures value modesty. Furthermore, social media platforms exacerbate the trend of exaggerated self-perception by fostering competition and the need for social validation. However, it is essential to maintain a balanced approach to self-evaluation, striving for a realistic assessment of one's abilities and limitations. This balanced perspective promotes mental health, well-being, and improved decision-making. By understanding the factors contributing to unrealistic self-evaluation, individuals can develop a healthier and more accurate sense of self-worth, facilitating personal growth and better relationships.

The couple norm in single men’s digital stories

The number of people living alone is increasing in Finland (OSF, 2020a; 2020b), in Europe (Eurostat, 2020a) and globally. Individualisation is growing, and many public institutions are adjusting to the rising number of single clientele. At the same time, the couple norm persists, and monogamous partnering is still often seen as the most appropriate way to organise intimate adult life. In this study, we analysed the written stories of 19 single men aged 29–64 and found that the couple norm was predominant in their stories. Internalisation of the norm caused feelings of inadequacy, a lack of self-appreciation and uncertainty about the future. Many men attributed their singlehood to events in their past and felt a lack of agency at present.

Öğretmen Adaylarının Öğretmenlik Uygulaması Sürecinde İyi Oluşlarının Araştırılması

Understanding the psychology of pre-service teachers and the factors that affect their well-being have received relatively little attention in the relevant literature. Therefore, the present study seeks to investigate how pre-service teachers perceive their wellbeing during their practicum by collecting data from pre-service teachers via narratives and semi-structured interviews. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the data. The results revealed a number of factors influencing the well-being of pre-service teachers, including motivation, students, their appreciation of the profession, feelings of inadequacy, relationship management, their multiple roles, technical concerns, and future perceptions. The findings highlight how pre-service teachers’ well-being influences their professional practices and provide insights for teacher educators, pupils, and researchers who are concerned with the well-being of pre-service teachers and work in the field of teacher education. Overall, the study sheds light on the complex and multifaceted nature of pre-service teacher wellbeing during practicum and emphasizes the need for a more holistic approach that considers the various factors that influence pupils' psychological and emotional states.

Perceptions and experiences of preservice music educators working with students with disabilities: A mixed methods inquiry of online field experiences within a music for special education course

Music teacher preparation programs typically provide preservice music educators (PMEs) experiences working with many student populations, including students with disabilities. Researchers have shown the positive impact field experience and coursework has on PMEs preparation to teach music to students with disabilities (SWD). Yet, few music education programs provide PMEs with experiences teaching SWD. The purpose of this explanatory mixed methods study was to examine the influence of a 6-week online field experience, in combination with content-specific coursework, on PME’s perceptions related to teaching music to SWD. From pretest to posttest, participants reported a significant decrease in these perceptions. In subsequent interviews, the authors found that participants’ perceptions may have decreased due to feelings of inadequacy and the desire for more experience. Participants stated that the field experience was the most meaningful part of the course overall. Implications for preservice music teacher education are discussed.

STUDENTSKO SAGORIJEVANJE: IZAZOV SVEUČILIŠTIMA

The aim of this paper is to examine the presence and types of manifestations of student burnout in Croatian students, but also the opportunities for improvement and implementation of adequate prevention measures and support systems. To conduct the research of this paper, a questionnaire on student burnout was prepared and filled out online by N = 897 students, 723 of which were females and 174 were males, from six Croatian universities: University of Zagreb, University of Rijeka, University of Osijek, University of Dubrovnik, University of Zadar and University of Pula. The results of the research indicate the existence of the first component of student burnout among respondents which is exhaustion due to academic tasks, but there is a low level of cynical and separate attitudes towards study and feelings of inadequacy as a student. However, 77.5% of respondents believe they have gone through or are still going through student burnout. The results also implicate a statistically significant difference between the manifestation of student burnout and gender, age, level and type of study and year of study, but no statistically significant difference was found between the occurrence of student burnout and average grade, university and financial support (receiving scholarships and places of residence). The paper also presents the qualitative answers of the respondents aimed at preventing and reducing the incidence of student burnout among Croatian students.

An Insight through Various Models being used for Assessment of Depression and its Management at Primary Level in Current Scenario.

The main aim of present study to assess depression and various neurotransmitters involved in it with their evaluating models. Depression is a common ailment that can be recurrent or even become chronic. According to the National Service Framework for Mental Health (released in 1999 by the Department of Health), people with depression should continue to be treated primarily in primary care settings. Despite mounting evidence that general practitioners could do a better job of detecting and treating depression, little research has been done on the perspectives of general practitioners who treat patients who are depressed. Depression (major depressive disorder) is a widespread and significant medical condition that has a negative impact on feeling, thinking, and behaviour. The primary goal of this study was to gather data on depression, as well as to discuss several methods for evaluating antidepressant drug response based on physical activities and neurotransmitters. Antidepressant activity of various medications can be tested using two different types of studies, including in vivo and in vitro, according to the review. Depression is characterized by a persistent sense of sadness, insomnia, lack of concentration, slowness in activity, restlessness, social isolation and a loss of interest that prevents you from doing normal things. There are several types of depression, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Depression is caused by a combination of factors and conditions, rather than a single factor. Major depression is a mental condition marked by feelings of inadequacy, hopelessness, decreased activity, sadness and mood swings, which seriously disrupt and negatively affect a person's life, sometimes, leading to suicidal thoughts. The quest for a better understanding of the causes of depression and the development of more effective treatments is critical. According to clinical and preclinical research, stress appears to be a crucial mediator in the pathophysiology of depression. Using experimental models, depression may be assessed based on several physical parameters such as locomotor activity, rearing, defecation, and the number of centre square entries (in vivo and in vitro). Biological parameters may also be used to locate it. Unhappiness and loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities are the symptoms of depression. It can cause emotional and physical problems, as well as a decrease in the ability to function together at work and at home. Finally it has been concluded that various neurotransmitters are involved in depression at the synaptic cleft which can be controlled using various synthetic and herbal drugs through in vitro and in vivo evaluating models.
