Roles of self-efficacy and self-control in the association between relative deprivation and psychological well-being among undergraduate students during COVID-19 pandemic

Prior research show that relative deprivation can decrease individuals’ psychological well-being. However, the underlying mechanism between relative deprivation and psychological well-being remains unclear. To explore the mediating effects of self-efficacy and self-control on the relationship between relative deprivation and psychological well-being. 426 undergraduate students submitted the online survey that assessed their psychological well-being, relative deprivation, self-efficacy and self-control. Students experienced high levels of psychological well-being, moderate to high levels of relative deprivation and moderate levels of self-efficacy and self-control. Parallel mediators of self-efficacy and self-control on the relationship between relative deprivation and psychological well-being were significant (each p < 0.01). This study explores the underlying mechanism between relative deprivation and psychological well-being by identifying the parallel mediators of self-efficacy and self-control. Effective interventions should be taken to alleviate students’ relative deprivation and promote their self-efficacy, self-control and psychological well-being during future pandemics.

An Exploration of Self-Efficacy and Its Associated Factors among Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients in Taiwan

Self-efficacy is an important ingredient in successful disease management, especially in patients with chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the information on self-efficacy and its influencing factors among RA patients is scarce. This study investigated the level of self-efficacy and its pertinent predictors among RA patients in Taiwan. This cross-sectional study recruited patients with RA from a hospital in Taiwan between January and October 2023. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on respondents’ demographic and job characteristics and included a Chinese version of the Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was employed to identify predictors of self-efficacy. A total of 284 RA patients were enrolled during the study period. The mean ASES score among enrollees was 1607.1, indicating a moderate level of self-efficacy (score range of 200–2000). The regression model displayed that those with higher disease activity scores, Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire scores, fatigue level, shorter disease duration, swollen upper limb joints, and no regular exercise regimen reported lower ASES scores, accounted for 46% of the total variance. The study findings may be useful for healthcare providers in identifying RA patients with low self-efficacy attitudes, a trait that appears to be linked to several medical indicators, and thus facilitating the provision of future tailored healthcare regimens.

Online Quantitative Literacy-Based Biology Learning towards Students' Self-Efficacy

Quantitative literacy is an important skill for biology students. During COVID-19, students had to adapt to several changes, including shifting from offline to online classes. However, not all biology content can be taught easily, especially online. Therefore, students need self-efficacy abilities. Self-efficacy was important for students to be able to make a plan for their learning. This research aimed to describe students’ self-efficacy to continue their online biology learning during COVID-19, based on their quantitative literacy skills. This study used 20-item questionnaires with four choices of statements. The biology topic chosen was plant anatomy. This research measured the score of 82 first-year college students’ self-efficacy from three aspects - magnitude, strength, and generality. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to measure the mean, the highest, and the lowest students’ self-efficacy scores. The result showed that the average score of students’ self-efficacy was 2.72, which means students’ self-efficacy was in the moderate category. All three aspects were also in the moderate category, with the strength aspect score being the highest at 2.76 and the magnitude aspect score being the lowest at 2.66. Based on the number of participants’ level of self-efficacy, 3% of students were in the high category, 96% were in the moderate category, and 1% were in the low category. The result showed that most of the students in this research have a moderate level of self-efficacy in online biology learning, based on quantitative literacy. This means that most of the students still must develop their self-efficacy skills to learn online quantitative lessons in biology successfully. The results also suggested that it is essential to teach students how to manage their learning behavior through the development of self-efficacy to succeed in online quantitative lessons in biology learning in the future.

Self-efficacy and academic procrastination in a sample of university students: A correlational study

Introduction: in the university context, self-efficacy extends beyond mere confidence in a student's academic abilities; it is considered a fundamental pillar that impacts their academic performance, intrinsic motivation, ability to face challenges, and psychological well-being. However, its absence could trigger a series of negative effects on the student and their educational experience.Objective: to determine if self-efficacy is significantly related to academic procrastination in a sample of students from a public university in Peru.Methods: quantitative research, non-experimental design, and cross-sectional correlational type. The sample consisted of 185 students, estimated through probabilistic sampling. The instruments used for data collection were the General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Academic Procrastination Scale, both with adequate psychometric properties.Results: the students were characterized by moderate levels of self-efficacy and low levels of academic procrastination. Additionally, it was determined that the Spearman's rho correlation coefficient for the variables of self-efficacy and academic procrastination was -0,687 (p &lt;0,05). This means that as the belief in one's own ability to succeed academically increases, the tendency to postpone academic tasks decreases.Conclusions: self-efficacy is significantly related to academic procrastination in a sample of students from a public university in Peru. This finding underscores the importance of implementing interventions to strengthen students' self-efficacy while strategically addressing academic procrastination

General self-efficacy as a moderator between severity of menopausal symptoms and satisfaction with life in menopausal women.

The study aimed to determine whether self-efficacy acts as a moderator between the severity of menopausal symptoms and life satisfaction. The research tools were: The Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) The Menopause - Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL), and a standardized questionnaire comprising questions on the participants' characteristics. 516 women using health care services who had menopausal symptoms took part in the study. Self-efficacy (GSES) (r = -0.176; p < 0.001) and life satisfaction (SWLS) (r = -0.106; p = 0.016) were negatively correlated with the severity of menopausal symptoms (MENQOL). The self-efficacy correlated positively with satisfaction with life (r = 0.278; p < 0.001). A low level of self-efficacy was associated with a significant and negative relationship between the severity of menopausal symptoms and satisfaction with life (p = 0.005), while at a high and moderate level of self-efficacy, the severity of menopausal symptoms was not associated with life satisfaction (p > 0.05). Self-efficacy moderates the relationship between the severity of menopausal symptoms and life satisfaction in menopausal women. The moderating function of self-efficacy is that, at its low level, an increase in the severity of menopausal symptoms reduces life satisfaction, while at medium and high levels, an increase in the severity of menopausal symptoms does not reduce life satisfaction.

THE SELF-EFFICACY OF TEACHERS IN THE PROCESS OF INCLUSION IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES

One of the more important preconditions for successful inclusion is the teachers’ high level of self-efficacy. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study was to determine the self-efficacy of physical education teachers in the process of inclusion of children with physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and visual impairment. The study was carried out on a sample of 38 physical education teachers, aged 50.89 ± 10.56 years, working in elementary schools on the territory of the city of Niš. To evaluate self-efficacy, the Serbian version of the Situational-specific Self-efficacy and Inclusion Students with Disabilities in Physical Education questionnaire was used. The results indicated that physical education teachers have moderate levels of self-efficacy (3.70). Based on types of disability, the greatest degree of self-efficacy was noted for intellectual disability (3.77), followed by physical disability (3.71), and visual impairment (3.60). The results of the Friedman test showed that the obtained differences were not statistically significant (p= 0.76). The results of the Mann-Whitney U-test showed that gender (p=0.189) and teaching experience (p=0.970) do not lead to statistically significant differences in the self-efficacy of physical education teachers. This pilot study represents a foundation for future studies, which would include a greater number of respondents. In addition, it is necessary to study other factors which can impact self-efficacy, such as direct teaching experience involving children with disabilities, private acquaintance with children with disabilities, the level of academic education in the field of adaptive physical exercise, and attendance of additional workshops.

Patient's learning needs and self-efficacy level after percutaneous coronary intervention: A descriptive study.

Identify and compare learning needs, levels of self-efficacy and their association among inpatients and outpatients of a cardiac care unit with coronary heart disease who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a Swiss university hospital. After primary PCI, 42% of patients will suffer a recurrent ischemic cardiovascular event. Although adherence to therapeutic regimen contributes to prevent recurrence, patient adherence remains low. To strengthen it, learning needs and self-efficacy must be considered when developing effective therapeutic patient education (TPE). Learning needs and self-efficacy were assessed using the Cardiac Patient Learning Needs Inventory (CPLNI) and the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale among inpatients and outpatients. The STROBE checklist for cross-sectional studies was used in reporting this study. Ninety-three patients participated in the study with a participation rate of 73.9%. The CPLNI median total score was significantly higher in inpatients than in outpatients: 4.23 (3.82, 4.64) versus 3.67 (3.33, 4.09), p < .001. In both units, participants declared that the most important need was related to 'anatomy and physiology' of the heart. Despite the high score, the least important need was about 'physical activity' for inpatients and 'miscellaneous information' for outpatients. No statistically significant differences were found among patients from both units regarding their self-efficacy level. This study shows that after PCI, patients have high learning needs and moderate levels of self-efficacy that require addressing. Patient's individual learning needs and self-efficacy level must be assessed prior/after PCI. A tailored TPE that considers individual learning needs and self-efficacy is recommended as a preventative measure to reduce recurrent ischemic cardiovascular events. Nurses can play a key role in this process. For feasibility reasons, patients and public were not involved in the design, conduct, reporting or dissemination plans of this research.

Modeling Students' Self-Efficacy in Mathematics during the Covid-19 Pandemic

&#x0D; Self-efficacy in learning mathematics helps the student to overcome difficulties and challenges in problem-solving during unprecedented times. This article aims to measure the level of students' self-efficacy and its determinants during the COVID-19 pandemic in learning mathematics online. The study considered primary data from 233 students selected in a non-random approach at Visayas State University, Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines through the aid of an online survey. The data were analyzed using some descriptive statistics calculation and regression analysis was used to model the students' self-efficacy and its factors. Results showed that, on average, the students' self-efficacy level is considered "moderate" amidst the pandemic. This means that most of these students are still having mathematical anxiety and experiencing hindrances in achieving good academic performance in mathematics online. The statistical model revealed that the demographic and learning profile of students is not significantly influencing the level of self-efficacy. In addition to that, the mathematics teachers' intervention has shown also an insignificant influence on the students' self-efficacy. In conclusion, students during the pandemic are having difficulty adopting a new type of learning (distant/online) due to their moderate level of self-efficacy. Hence, the study recommends that teachers must make the learning environment exciting and interesting to boost the students' motivation and self-efficacy in doing their mathematics tasks. Furthermore, teachers must give mathematics activities that are suitable and doable for online learning that enhances students' creative thinking.

Analysis of the influence of perceived self-efficacy on organizational performance among pharmaceutical managers: a structural equation study

Abstract Objective To investigate the influence of perceived self-efficacy on organizational performance among operational, product and strategic managers in the pharmaceutical marketing industry. Method A cross-sectional study with a literature-based questionnaire administered to 241 managers proportioned across operational, product and strategic managerial roles using stratified random sampling. Structural equation modeling techniques in the analysis of moment structures software were used to examine causal relations between predictor and outcome variables. Study hypotheses were tested using inferential statistical measures with a P-value of &amp;lt; 0.05. Key findings A large number of respondents were operational sales managers (n = 138, 57.3%), followed by strategic managers (n = 64, 25.6%), and the least was product managers (n = 39, 16.2%). The measurement models of self-efficacy, organizational performance constructs and structural models had acceptable measures of fit. Three first-order constructs were derived from the self-efficacy construct namely: self-adaptability (regression coefficient, β = 0.237, P &amp;lt; 0.025), self-efficiency (β = 0.574, P &amp;lt; 0.001), and self-creativity (β = 0.649, P &amp;lt; 0.003). Structural equation modelling revealed a significant positive effect of perceived self-efficacy on organizational performance (R2 = 0.65, β = 0.651, P &amp;lt; 0.003). Simple plot analysis revealed lower performance scores at a moderate level of self-efficacy with operational sales managers compared to strategic and product managers. Multigroup analysis revealed no confounding effect of gender and type of firm on the hypothesized relationship (P &amp;gt; 0.05). Conclusions This study contributed another dimension to extant research on the relationship between perceived self-efficacy and performance among pharmaceutical managers. The study suggests targeted management training and collaborative learning for managers to improve their level of self-efficacy. Focal and routine training to enhance work-based competencies, professional development and problem-solving skills of pharmaceutical managers are advocated.
