As for the usefulness of the research carried out, it is scientific and practical. Subjects in this study were students 73 and teachers 14 a total of 87. The data collection technique used is the lifting and documentation technique, which is a method used by arriving at the research site, and holding direct observations of the object being studied. The type of research carried out is quantitative research in particular correlational research, using pedagogical and psychological management approaches. The data analysis technique is Microsoft Excel. Based on the results of the analysis and interpretation presented the result that it is based on the statistical test T value t count of 0.567 greater than the t value of table 0.207, then it can be concluded that there is a influence of the leadership of the head of the matrasah (X) on the quality of education (Y). It is based upon the result of the simple linear regression analysis with the help of microsoft word and referring to the correlation value between X and Y is 0.314. Included in the middle category. The determination coefficient value is 0.314 or 31.4%. Which means that X can explain the big Y. The remaining 31.4% is influenced by other factors. Significant value alpha = 0.05. So the final result is that the leadership variable of the head of the madrasah affects the educational quality variable by 31.4%, while the remaining 68.6% is affected by another factor.

Postindustrial transformations of administrative approaches to creative motivation

The decisive feature of creative management is the creation of conditions for self-realization, which determines the relevance of the study of the transformational vector of creative motivation for the development of creative capabilities of staff. A significant problem of psychological management approaches to creative motivation is the awareness of the need for continuously updated material incentives for staff. A reward received as a deserved prize may cause its unjustified expectation in the future, and its absence begins to be perceived as an unfair incentive system. Monetary motivation is also not an effective tool for stimulating the creative development of staff, because its positive-motivating effect only manifests itself in the first 48 hours. The introduction of a bonus system as a short-term incentive usually indicates the desire of managers to mechanically control the motivation of employees. The use of bonuses is based on the incorrect assumption that an employee does not fully utilize his own potential, and this leads to a motivated inconsistency between the actual and the possible volume of work. Thus, the system of bonus incentives, not taking into account the complex interweaving of market factors, market conditions, prices, products, competition, can destroy the employee's responsibility for achieving the resultant results. Motivated systems that directly rely on quantitative results of work often target workers to achieve short-term success, ignoring long-term development prospects. The effect of displacement of internal motivation with external motivation is manifested: interest in remuneration displaces interest in creative work. Material incentives appear to be incapable of motivating most of them to a long-term desire for self-improvement, development and achievement of creative results. Job satisfaction, diverse activities that require dedication, self-planning goals, education and training, and participation in management are often more important than attractive wages and bonuses in the form of a bonus. The psychological danger to the head is also the use of established non-material methods of stimulating creativity, which often provoke material expectations from the staff. The newest managerial approaches to creative motivation must mutually coordinate the nonlinear combination of different directions of material and immaterial stimulation, despite their certain contradictory nature. Thus, the motivation of creativity focuses on the psychological self-regulation of the individual, integrating the intellectual, motivational, volitional and emotional components of creative activity.

Service evaluation of a nurse-led dental anxiety management service for adult patients.

Objective Evaluate patients' and professionals' experiences of a nurse-led dental anxiety management service (NDAMS).Design Service evaluation.Setting The NDAMS operates as part of the Sheffield Salaried Primary Dental Care Service.Subjects and methods Questionnaire survey of anxious patients and qualitative interviews with patients and professionals.Interventions Dental nurses delivered low-level psychological interventions as part of an integrated care pathway (ICP) for dental anxiety.Main outcome measures Dental anxiety and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaires were completed by patients before and following NDAM.Results A total of 187 patients were assessed as suitable for NDAM (mean age = 33.7, 77% female) and 33 had completed it at the time of the service evaluation. Of those patients who had completed the intervention, significant improvements in dental anxiety and OHRQoL were reported. Professionals highlighted the importance of integrated working, adequate support and training, and assessing the suitability of patients for NDAM.Conclusion ICPs that combine pharmacological and psychological management approaches can help meet the needs of dentally anxious patients; however, early identification of patients most likely to benefit from psychological intervention should be a priority.

Openness to psychological explanations and treatment among people with Fibromyalgia versus Rheumatoid Arthritis

Objective: The classic perspective in the psychosomatic literature is that patients with medically unexplained syndromes do not acknowledge psychologically-based causes for their conditions and will not engage in psychological treatments. These assumptions were tested by contrasting the illness models and reported treatment experiences of individuals with fibromyalgia (FM), a syndrome with a currently unknown organic origin, with those of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a ‘legitimate’ (i.e. organic) condition. Method: 193 patients with FM and 176 with RA completed measures assessing their views about the causes of their condition, the treatments they had used and their judged effectiveness. Results: Contrary to prediction, compared to patients with RA, patients with FM were more likely to endorse psychological causes for their condition and reported having used more psychological management approaches. Moreover, patients with FM considered psychological approaches to be more effective than narcotics. Conclusion: These findings indicate that patients with FM do not react defensively to the implication of psychogenic causes. Rather, as a group, they tend to acknowledge both the psychosocial influences on and the effectiveness of psychological management approaches for their condition.

Impulse control disorders and dopamine dysregulation in Parkinson’s disease: a broader conceptual framework

Impulse control disorders (ICDs) and dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS) in Parkinson's disease are motivation-based behaviours that involve repetitive occurrences of impulsive and uncontrolled activity. Psychiatric classification is currently inconsistent and unclear. An accurate conceptualisation of these problems is important to guide research and treatment. The review considers conceptual and methodological problems underlying the diagnosis of ICDs and the assessment of their severity. Whilst having features of obsessive-compulsive spectrum model, ICD-5 may bring them together for the first time into a single category of behavioural addictions. Whilst matching clinical and biological evidence, any such psychiatric classification in Parkinson's disease will remain complicated by the interactions of pathophysiology and medication and fail to capture the range of subthreshold but still clinically significant symptomatology. A non-diagnostic, dimensional construct of disinhibitory psychopathology may be a useful tool to guide research and inform treatment. The role of dysphoria is suggested as a further important factor in driving some of these problem behaviours. This opens the opportunity for adjunctive psychological approaches in management.
