The analytical method used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that there is a positive relationship between cognitive flexibility and self-efficacy with entrepreneurial competence (R=.736, R2=.542, p=.000). Therefore, it can be said that the entrepreneurial competence of prospective teacher students can be improved through cognitive flexibility and self-efficacy beliefs.</em>

The moderating role of perseverance and determination in action in the context of self-efficacy and life satisfaction of sportspeople with mobility impairment

Introduction: The article assumes the biopsychosocial model of disability and refers, inter alia, to the assumptions of the concept of empowerment, which recognizes the fact that practicing sports by people with disabilities creates favorable conditions for strengthening resources and developing skills. An attempt was made to develop a model that verifies the moderating importance of mental resilience in the aspect of experiencing a sense of effectiveness and life satisfaction in sportspeople with mobility impairment. Material and method: The research conducted in an encrypted online manner involved 58 people (31 able-bodied sportspeople and 27 sportspeople with physical disabilities). The following tools were used in this study: the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Positivity Scale (P Scale), the Resilience Scale (RS 25) and a demographic questionnaire. The conducted exploratory analyses which ultimately constitute the basis of the mathematically verified model of interactions between the variables identified in the study, as proposed in the article, showed a statistically significant influence of the RS 25 subscale Perseverance and determination in action as a moderator, both in relation to variables, physical disability and life satisfaction, as well as relationships between the variables of motor impairment and self-efficacy. Results: Having taken into consideration group abundance, strength of the effect and statistical significance, it is possible to make attempts to generalize findings of this study into the general population of athletes. Modelling based on subscales turned out to be the most adequate one, as it allowed discovering more in-depth relations between variables. Conclusions: Statistical analysis confirmed the assumed lack of differences between athletes with and without disabilities regarding the life satisfaction variable. It did not confirm that athletes with disabilities had higher scores in the self-efficacy variable (in GSES questionnaire) than regular athletes. It is important to note that physical disability or lack of it moderated by perseverance and determination influences both life satisfaction and self-efficacy in a statistically significant way. Based on conducted statistical analysis, in relations to the initially presented model, the mathematically revised model of confirmed interactions and relations between variables was proposed.

Correlating the level of patients' self-efficacy with paternalistic, consumerist, participative and training doctor relationships in dental offices

Self-efficacy—the belief in using abilities for a specific purpose—is an indicator of engagement. Self-efficacy anticipates the positive results of the actions undertaken due to the knowledge and skills possessed. Within the concept of self-efficacy, we will also mention generalized self-efficacy, i.e. a person's view of himself as capable of effectively performing a wide variety of tasks and performing in a wide variety of situations. Self-efficacy has an important role in learning and developing new skills and knowledge; this applies both to patients and to the doctor or medical staff. Perceived self-efficacy helps to account for such diverse phenomena as changes in coping behavior produced by different modes of influence, the level of physiological stress reactions, self-regulation of refractory behavior, resignation and discouragement from failure. By making a correlation between self-efficacy and the patient's behavior, we can also ascertain the psychobehavioral effect this has on the patient. The quantification of the patient's self-efficacy level is directly proportional to his possibility to overcome the disease along with the involvement of other direct or indirect factors.The study was carried out on a group of 157 patients (age range 18-74 years). The questionnaire with specific questions from the internationally recognized self-efficacy scale "The General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE)" was used. The obtained results will follow the correlation of the self-efficacy level of the patients with the paternalistic, consumerist, participative and training physician relationship.

Effects of physical activity on self-efficacy of patients with bronchial asthma

Introduction: Due to higher exposures to fine dust, increased smoking and prevalence of obesity and stress, an increase in the diagnosis of bronchial asthma can be expected, which requires adequate, scientifically tested, alternative therapy methods. The current study investigated the effects of regular physical training on general and disease-specific self-efficacy. Materials and Methods: Overall 82 participants with mild to moderate medicated asthma (63% female, mean age = 41.88 ± 10.43 years) took part in the study. They were randomly divided into three groups: (1) no intervention, (2) progressive muscle relaxation and (3) physical activity intervention. Intervention lasted ten weeks with two units of physical activity or relaxation per week, each lasting 60min. Self-efficacy was measured using the German scales of general and COPD self-efficacy scales. Results: Analysis showed positive influence of group assignment and basic values on general self-efficacy with significant differences between physical activity intervention and control group (p < .001). Conclusions: The present study underlies positive effects of physical activity on the subjective well-being of patients with bronchial asthma. Therefore, it is advisable to consider physical activity as an important component in the treatment of patients with bronchial asthma.

Promoting the Wellbeing of Physiotherapy Students on Placement:

The current healthcare workforce crisis in the United Kingdom has highlighted the need to equip graduates with the skills to maintain their personal wellbeing whilst working in increasingly pressurised environments. The Placement Wellbeing Project (PWP) is an intervention designed to support the wellbeing of physiotherapy students during studies, while on placement and as they enter the workforce. This action research project used a single group, repeated measures design. Ethical approval was gained from the [redacted] ethics committee. On recruitment, participants were given the Placement Wellbeing Toolkit [toolkit link available but redacted as not anonymous to author or organisation] and took part in a pre-placement peer group discussion and a post-placement de-briefing session. Outcomes were measured using the Placement Coping Scale (PCS) and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Significant improvements were observed in the total PCS score (Friedman's test χ2(2) = 19.75, p = 0.000) and all individual items of the PCS from baseline to post-placement. Post hoc analysis detected significant improvements between baseline and pre-placement total PCS scores (p = 0.005). Total GSE scores improved significantly from baseline to final measure (Wilcoxon sum-rank test Z = 2.105, p =.035). To develop a resilient future workforce we need to ensure that students are well prepared for challenges and supported to maintain their wellbeing on placement. The results of this study indicate that physiotherapy students may benefit from interventions to develop positive coping strategies for placement.

Self-efficacy and Career Adaptability in Early Career employees

<p><strong>Abstract. </strong>Every company strives to increase efficiency and effectiveness to adapt to competitive developments. One of the efforts made is to prepare employees to compete at work. Career adaptability is necessary for employees to support effective performance, especially for early career employees. Therefore, early career employees need good self-efficacy to support career adaptability. This research aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and career adaptability in early-career employees at PT. XYZ. The method used is quantitative with a simple correlational design. Data collection used non-probability sampling with a saturated sampling technique, carried out using a Google form distributed to all PT. XYZ. The research scale consists of the General Self-Efficacy Scale (α =0.932) and the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (α= 0.969). The Spearman Rho correlation test obtained a coefficient value of 0.841 with p(Sig.) = 0.000 (p<0.01) shows that self-efficacy positively relates to career adaptability in early-career employees. Research on self-efficacy and career adaptability in early career employees is expected to provide important information that can be used to improve employee development practices, organizational policies, and future academic literature.</p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Self-efficacy; Career Adaptability; Early Career</em>

Pressure Ulcer Management Virtual Reality Simulation (PU-VRSim) for Novice Nurses: Mixed Methods Study.

Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a common and serious complication in patients who are immobile in health care settings. Nurses play a fundamental role in the prevention of PUs; however, novice nurses lack experience in clinical situations. Virtual reality (VR) is highly conducive to clinical- and procedure-focused training because it facilitates simulations. We aimed to explore the feasibility of a novel PU management VR simulation (PU-VRSim) program using a head-mounted display for novice nurses and to investigate how different types of learning materials (ie, VR or a video-based lecture) impact learning outcomes and experiences. PU-VRSim was created in the Unity 3D platform. This mixed methods pilot quasi-experimental study included 35 novice nurses categorized into the experimental (n=18) and control (n=17) groups. The PU-VRSim program was applied using VR in the experimental group, whereas the control group received a video-based lecture. The PU knowledge test, critical thinking disposition measurement tool, and Korean version of the General Self-Efficacy Scale were assessed before and after the intervention in both groups. After the intervention, the experimental group was further assessed using the Clinical Judgment Rubric and interviewed to evaluate their experience with PU-VRSim. The results compared before and after the intervention showed significant improvements in PU knowledge in both the experimental group (P=.001) and control group (P=.005). There were no significant differences in self-efficacy and critical thinking in either group. The experimental group scored a mean of 3.23 (SD 0.44) points (accomplished) on clinical judgment, assessed using a 4-point scale. The experimental group interviews revealed that the VR simulation was realistic and helpful for learning about PU management. The results revealed that PU-VRSim could improve novice nurses' learning of PU management in realistic environments. Further studies using VR for clinical training are recommended for novice nurses.

Research on the correlation between clinical nurses' self-efficacy, future time perspective, and occupational burnout.

The number of clinical nurses in China experiencing professional burnout is increasing yearly, posing a serious challenge to the public health sector. Implementing effective intervention strategies is key to reducing the level of occupational burnout. At present, training aimed at alleviating occupational burnout among clinical nurses is very limited, with common training programs focusing on addressing external factors of occupational burnout rather than the internal cognitive issues of clinical nurses. Self-efficacy and future time perspective are both aspects of an individual's internal self-cognition. Meanwhile, the relationship between clinical nurses' self-efficacy, future time perspective, and occupational burnout is not clear, and further research is needed to verify this. This study aims to reveal the relationship between clinical nurses' self-efficacy, future time perspective, and occupational burnout, and to explore the mediating role of future time perspective between self-efficacy and occupational burnout among clinical nurses, providing a scientific reference for training directions to improve occupational burnout. This study used a cross-sectional design, conducting a questionnaire survey with 529 practicing clinical nurses using the General Demographics Questionnaire (GDQ), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS). SPSS software version 26.0 was used to analyze the correlation between variables, and AMOS 26.0 was used to test the mediation effect. Clinical nurses' self-efficacy had a negative predictive effect on occupational burnout (r = -0.503, p < 0.001). Future time perspective showed significant differences in regression coefficients on both the paths of self-efficacy (r = 0.615, p < 0.001) and occupational burnout (r = -0.374, p < 0.001). Future time perspective played a partial mediating role between self-efficacy and occupational burnout, accounting for 33.8% of the total effect. This study suggests a significant correlation between clinical nurses' self-efficacy, future time perspective, and occupational burnout. Self-efficacy can directly affect occupational burnout in clinical nurses and can also indirectly affect occupational burnout through the future time perspective.

Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Anxiety, Self-Efficacy, and Quality of Life in Patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Transplantation

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of mindfulness meditation on the anxiety, self-efficacy, and quality of life of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: Data of 124 patients who underwent CABG in our hospital from May 2020, to May 2022, were collected. In accordance with the presence or absence of mindfulness meditation, the patients were divided into control group (n = 64, conventional cardiac rehabilitation) and observation group (n = 60, conventional cardiac rehabilitation + mindfulness meditation). The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), quality of life, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: No significant difference was observed in the HAMA, GSES, and quality-of-life scores between the two groups after operation (p &gt; 0.05). After the intervention, the HAMA score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (p &lt; 0.05), and the GSES and quality of life scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (p &lt; 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group (5.00%) was lower than that in the control group (7.81%), without significant difference (p &gt; 0.05). Conclusions: The use of mindfulness meditation for patients undergoing CABG is beneficial to relieve anxiety and improve their self-efficacy and quality of life, hence worthy of adoption.

Pengaruh konformitas positif terhadap kompetensi sosio-emosional yang dimediasi oleh self-efficacy pada santri remaja

Socio-emotional competence in adolescence is needed in socio-emotional development where individuals are able to manage emotions and interact with others and develop healthy relationships. Positive conformity behavior is used as a cognitive strategy to adjust to peer groups so that deviant behavior can be avoided. In order for positive conformity to develop properly, self-efficacy is needed as a mediator to increase socio-emotional competence. The purpose of this study was to examine self-efficacy as a mediator between positive conformity and socio-emotional competence. This research method uses a quantitative approach using population quotas. The subjects in this study were all 197 students of SMP YPUI Darul Ulum Banda Aceh City. The instruments used were the Delaware Social Emotional Competence Scale-Student (DSECS-S), the Peer Conformity Disposition Scale (PCDS), and the General Self Efficacy Scale (GSES). Data analysis was performed using the Process Macro Analysis Hayes mediation analysis technique. The results of the study show that there is a significant effect of positive conformity on socio-emotional competence. With the role of self-efficacy as a mediator, positive conformity can indirectly increase the socio-emotional competence of young students at Islamic boarding schools.

The association between parental warmth and children's prosocial behaviour: A moderated mediation analysis

Prosocial behaviour is a bedrock of humane societies. Although previous studies have shown that parental style is an important contributing factor for children's prosocial behaviour, the psychological mechanism underlying this association in specific cultural background remains unclear. Based on the ecological systems theory, this study sought to explore the influence of parental warmth on children's prosocial behaviour, and the mediating effect of self-efficacy, as well as the moderating role of teachers' incentive evaluation in the link between self-efficacy and children's prosocial behaviour. This cross-sectional, survey-based study collected data from parents and teachers of 414 Chinese preschoolers (5–6 years old). Parents of these children finished questionnaires on the Chinese version of the short-form Egna minnen av. Barndoms uppfostran (s-EMBU-C), Child Behaviour Scale (CBS), and the revised General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES), while Incentive evaluation questionnaire was finished by their teachers. Results indicated that children who experience high parental warmth were more likely to act prosocially (b = 0.61, p < 0.001) and the association between parental warmth and prosocial behaviour was partially mediated by self-efficacy (indirect effect = 0.25, 95 % CI = [0.19, 0.32]). Besides, teachers' incentive evaluation moderated the link between self-efficacy and children's prosocial behaviour (b = 0.24, p < 0.001). Specifically, the effect of self-efficacy on prosocial behaviour was stronger for high teachers' incentive evaluation children than those with low teachers' incentive evaluation. These findings extend the existing understanding of the mechanism concerning the influence of parental warmth on prosocial behaviour in Chinese settings. The results revealed that interventions that could improve children's self-efficacy would be effective in accelerating their prosocial behaviour and schools played a crucial role in working with families to increase their self-efficacy at a young age. It should be noted that this study focused only on Chinese children of 5–6 years old, and the cross-sectional design means that the possibility of bidirectional effects could not be ruled out.

Evaluation of a training program using the SBAR communication tool for caregivers managing acute respiratory distress in lung cancer patients: A pilot randomized controlled trial protocol

BackgroundFamily-based caregivers are increasingly important in the management of non-hospitalized lung cancer patients. However, lack of training can negatively impact care including diagnostic errors that can lead to delays in providing appropriate medical treatment. Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is common symptom of lung cancer and requires urgent intervention as well as adequate communication with healthcare professionals (HCPs) to enable appropriate decision-making and improve patient outcomes. Standardized tools such as the Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) tool and its French adaptation SAED, standing for Situation, Antécédent, Évaluation et Demande, are designed to facilitate communication among (HCPs).Additionally, digital interventions, such as serious games, are increasingly used to train HCPs though its use for caregivers has not been studied. This pilot study aims to assess an innovative serious game training using the SAED tool combined with standard instructions on self-efficacy for family-based caregivers of lung cancer patients when facing a simulated situation of ARF. The study also aims to examine caregivers' emotional state, quality of life, satisfaction and knowledge about the SBAR tool. MethodsA monocentric, randomized, controlled, open-label, superiority, parallel-arm trial will be conducted for 18 months with 3 mid-study assessments (NCT05839353). Family caregivers of lung cancer patients will be recruited at the University Hospital Center of Saint Pierre, Reunion Island, France. Participants will be randomized (1:1) into two groups: the experimental group receiving training using the SBAR/SAED tool and standard instructions for managing respiratory distress/dyspnea, and the control group, receiving standard instructions only. The primary outcome will be to determine perceived self-efficacy as measured by the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale. DiscussionThis study will present a preliminary assessment of training family caregivers in using the SBAR/SAED tool in simulated episodes of ARF in lung cancer patients. Our findings may provide valuable insights into effective training methods for caregivers in critical home care situations and could be widely used for lung cancer management.

Readiness for return to work and its influencing factors among head and neck cancer patients: a cross-sectional study.

This study aims to investigate the Readiness for Return-to-Work (RRTW) of patients with head and neck tumours and to analyse the relationships among self-efficacy, disease uncertainty, psychosocial adaptation, and RRTW in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 259 HNC patients with a discharge length of ≥1 month at a tertiary hospital in Liaoning Province. The research tools included a self-designed general information questionnaire, the Readiness for Return-to-Work (RRTW) Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS), and the Self-Reporting Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS-SR). Descriptive statistical analysis, the rank sum test, Spearman correlation analysis, and ordered multiple and dichotomous logistic regression analyses were used. The overall RRTW among HNC patients was low (41.9%). HNC patients who did not return to work were mainly in the precontemplation stage (38.1%) and contemplation stage (29.9%). HNC patients who returned to work were mainly in the active maintenance stage (64.2%). Children's status (OR = 0.218, 95% CI 0.068-0.703), self-efficacy (OR = 1.213, 95% CI 1.012-1.454), unpredictability (OR = 0.845, 95% CI 0.720-0.990), occupational environment (OR = 0.787, 95% CI 0.625-0.990), and family environment (OR = 0.798, 95% CI 0.643-0.990) influence the RRTW of HNC patients who have not returned to work. Educational level (OR = 62.196, 95% CI 63.307-68.567), children's status (OR = 0.058, 95% CI 1.004-2.547), self-efficacy (OR = 1.544, 95% CI 3.010-8.715), unpredictability (OR = 0.445, 95% CI 1.271-2.280), and psychological status (OR = 0.340, 95% CI 1.141-2.401) influence the RRTW of HNC patients who have returned to work. Children's status, education level, self-efficacy, illness uncertainty, and psychosocial adjustment are crucial to RRTW. This study provides a theoretical basis for formulating intervention measures aimed at improving the RRTW of patients.

Association between anxiety, depression symptoms, and academic burnout among Chinese students: the mediating role of resilience and self-efficacy

BackgroundTo explore the associations between anxiety and depression symptoms and academic burnout among children and adolescents in China, and to examine the role of resilience and self-efficacy in addressing academic burnout.MethodsA total of 2,070 students in grades 4–8 were recruited from two primary and three middle schools in Shanghai, completed the Elementary School Student Burnout Scale (ESSBS), the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children-Chinese (MASC-C), the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), with 95.04% effective response rate. Multivariable regression analyses examining the associations between anxiety / depression symptoms and academic burnout (as well as the associations between resilience / self-efficacy and academic burnout) were performed using STATA 16.0 and SmartPLS 3.0.ResultsAnxiety symptoms (β = 0.124, p < 0.01) and depression symptoms (β = 0.477, p < 0.01) were positively correlated with academic burnout. Resilience partially mediated the association between depression symptoms and academic burnout (β = 0.059, p < 0.01), with a mediation rate of 12.37%. Self-efficacy partially mediated the associations between anxiety symptoms and academic burnout (β = 0.022, p < 0.01) and between depression symptoms and academic burnout (β = 0.017, p < 0.01), with mediation rates of 17.74% and 3.56%, respectively. Resilience and self-efficacy together (β = 0.041, p < 0.01) formed a mediating chain between depression symptoms and academic burnout, with a mediation rate of 8.6%.ConclusionsAnxiety and depression symptoms were positively associated with academic burnout. Resilience and self-efficacy were found to mediate the associations partially.

Compliance with oral nutritional supplements and its influencing factors in postoperative patients with digestive tract tumors: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundOral nutritional supplements are one of the preferred methods of nutritional support for postoperative patients. This study aims to investigate the current status of oral nutritional supplements compliance in postoperative patients with digestive tract tumors and its influencing factors.MethodsConvenience sampling was employed to select 242 patients who underwent surgery for digestive tract tumors at a tertiary hospital in Shanghai from October 2022 to July 2023 as the study subjects. Data following a normal distribution were analyzed using independent sample t-tests, ANOVA single-factor analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis to determine the factors influencing compliance with oral nutritional supplements.ResultsA total of 252 questionnaires were distributed, with 10 invalid questionnaires excluded, resulting in an effective questionnaire rate of 96.03%. The compliance score for oral nutritional supplements in postoperative patients with digestive tract tumors was (2.40 ± 1.45), General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES) score was (24.72 ± 4.86), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS) score was (58.67 ± 11.09), and Belief about Medicines Questionnaire Scale (BMQ) score was (0.17 ± 2.78). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age, adverse reactions, educational level, self-efficacy, medication beliefs, and social support were factors influencing compliance with oral nutritional supplements in postoperative patients with digestive tract tumors (P < 0.05).ConclusionOur study revealed that the compliance to oral nutritional supplements among postoperative patients with digestive tract tumors was at a moderate level and was closely associated with age, educational level, adverse reactions to oral nutritional supplements, medication beliefs, social support, and self-efficacy. Nursing staff should conduct nursing assessments based on the specific circumstances of patients and their families, provide personalized health education management plans based on the patients’ educational level, enhance patients’ nutrition knowledge, improve patient self-efficacy, and enhance social support for patients, while further improving patient nutrition management.

Roles of Sleep Quality, Self-Efficacy, and Coping Style in the Frailty of Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study

ABSTRACT Objectives Although the association between sleep disorders and frailty has been well established, little is known about the cognitive appraisal mechanisms underlying this association. Building on the transactional theory of stress and coping, this study explores the role of self-efficacy and coping style in the association between sleep quality and frailty among community-dwelling older adults. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 585 community-dwelling older adults were investigated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Tilburg Frailty Indicator, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression were performed. A moderated mediation model was established using the PROCESS macro. Results Poor sleep quality affects frailty directly (B = 0.193, p < .01) and indirectly via self-efficacy (B = 0.063, p < .01). The negative impact of poor sleep on frailty through self-efficacy was moderated by both positive and negative coping style (index = −0.007). The moderating effect was stronger when participants’ negative coping tendencies increased. Conclusions Poor sleep quality indirectly influences frailty by modifying self-efficacy. Effective coping strategies can help attenuate this association. Clinical Implications Timely sleep assessment and tailored strategies such as psychoeducational programs and targeted coping skills training may be beneficial for preventing frailty in older adults.

Longitudinal curriculum to address wellness and professional development in a hematology/oncology fellowship program.

9004 Background: Many trainees, including Hematology/Oncology (HO) fellows, face burnout throughout their training. Here we implemented a longitudinal curriculum to help fellows with a focus on professional development and burnout mitigation skills. Methods: Interventions to address wellness were initiated in our HO fellowship program in academic year (AY) 2022-2023 based on a needs assessment, including faculty-led sessions, fellow debrief sessions, and social activities (data previously reported). In AY 2023-2024, a new baseline needs assessment was distributed to fellows to determine topics of interest for developing a fellowship retreat and for discussion throughout the year. This assessment also included the Mini ReZ survey to evaluate learning environment, the Patient Health Questionnaire 2 to assess for depressed mood, and the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale. Surveys were completed anonymously in person and online and were sent throughout the year (data to be fully analyzed by June 2024). T-test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results: 22 out of 27 fellows (81.5%) completed the baseline assessment in July 2023. Topics of interest for further discussion included work-life balance, management of scholarly expectations, and professional boundary setting. A day-long, off-site fellowship retreat was designed to address these concerns, with a specific focus on fellow strengths, leadership skills, boundary setting, and communication. Retreats were divided into senior and first-year fellows. Of the 27 fellows who attended the retreats, 22 responded to post-retreat surveys, with 21 of 22 fellows indicating they found the retreat helpful (95.4%). When asked what the most meaningful part of the retreat was, fellows responded “connection with colleagues,” “sharing what inspires/motivates [them],” and “discussing methods to try and prevent burnout.” Scores of self-efficacy and perception of positive learning environment did not significantly differ before and after retreats, and levels of depression remained low. Additional faculty-led didactic sessions were held including a session titled “Grief and Awe” and another titled “Shame Resilience”, with plan for 2 additional sessions. Evaluations of these sessions are planned for the end of the AY to assess effectiveness. Conclusions: The development of a curriculum to address wellness and professional development, including a fellowship retreat that focused on topics identified by a needs assessment, was found to be helpful among HO fellows. More data must be collected to evaluate the effect of these interventions; final data on the entire experience will be available to report at the annual meeting. This curriculum could serve as a model for other programs and be integrated into ASCO’s array of trainee resources to address HO fellow wellness and professional development skills during training.

Pengaruh Art Therapy (Painting) dengan Media Tote Bag terhadap Self Efficacy pada Pasien Skizofrenia di RSJD Dr. Amino Gondohutomo Provinsi Jawa Tengah

Abstract Background: Schizophrenia is a group of psychotic symptoms that affect different areas of the functioning of a person. Schizophrenics will experience impaired social functioning that is influenced by self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is a very important motivating factor to achieve success. One of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be given is art therapy (painting). Objectives: This study was used to determine the effect of art therapy (painting) with tote bag media on self-efficacy in schizophrenia patients at RSJD Dr. Amino Gondohutomo Province of Central Java. Methods: This research is a pre-experimental quantitative research with one group pre and post-test design. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling with a population of 35 samples. Self-efficacy was measured using the Indonesian version of the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) instrument. Hypothesis testing uses the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results showed that the age was predominantly late adulthood (45.7%), the majority were female (65.7%), the work history was predominantly non-working (37.1%), the majority of the sample had a marital status of being unmarried (60.0%), education level was dominated by SMA/MAN/SMK (42.9%), and the majority of the sample had an unspecified diagnosis of schizophrenia (65.7%). The average pre-test score is 21.91 and the post-test score is 29.89 with a difference of 7.98, which means there are differences in the results of the self-efficacy examination in the research sample. The results of this research were measured using the Wilcoxon test, obtaining a p-value of 0.000 (p-value &lt;0.05). Conclusion Activities of art therapy (painting) with tote bag media influence self-efficacy in schizophrenia patients at RSJD Dr. Amino Gondohutomo Province of Central Java. It is hoped that the results of this research can become a routine therapeutic activity for schizophrenia patients at RSJD Dr. Amino Gondohutomo Province of Central Java.

The Associations of Perceived Self-Efficacy with Emotional Intelligence, Personality, Resilience, and Attitudes Towards Death among Midwives.

Midwives' self-efficacy can significantly affect the provided care and, therefore, maternal and neonatal outcomes. The aim of the present study was to investigate associations of perceived self-efficacy with emotional intelligence, personality, resilience, and attitudes towards death among midwives in Greece. From 2020 to 2022, a total of 348 midwives were recruited in this descriptive cross-sectional study. The participants were employed as independent professionals, in public hospitals or regional health authorities. Data collection involved five research instruments: the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF), the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), the Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC), and the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) scale. The mean score for the GSES was 29.1 (SD = 4.2), suggesting a moderately elevated level of self-efficacy among midwives. The results revealed that higher scores on the GSES were significantly associated with higher scores on the Extraversion subscale (p < 0.001) and lower scores on the Neuroticism (p < 0.001) and Lie (p = 0.002) subscales of the EPQ. Additionally, high self-efficacy was significantly correlated with high emotional intelligence (p < 0.001), high neutral acceptance of death (p = 0.009), and high resilience (p < 0.001). These findings highlight the relationship between the self-efficacy of Greek midwives and various psychological factors, as well as the multifaceted nature of self-efficacy and its importance for midwives' psychological well-being and professional functioning.
