KONTRIBUSI JOB DEMANDS DAN JOB RESOURCES TERHADAP PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING PEKERJA CREATIVE AGENCY DI JAKARTA

This study aims to examine the contributions of job demands and job resources to the psychological well-being of creative agency workers. Creative agencies often require longer working hours and higher workloads to meet customer demands. However, the resources provided by companies to support workers sometimes do not adequately compensate for these demands, which can negatively impact workers' psychological well-being. Despite this, creative agencies depend heavily on their workers to achieve company targets, and the psychological well-being of these workers plays a crucial role in their ability to develop their potential and function optimally. It is predicted that adequate job resources to meet job demands will enhance the psychological functioning of workers. This research utilized quantitative methods and involved 106 creative agency workers in Jakarta, selected through convenience sampling. The instruments used for measurement were the Questionnaire sur les Ressources et Contraintes Professionnelles and the Psychological Well-Being Scale. The results of multiple regression analysis indicated that job demands and job resources significantly contribute to the psychological well-being of creative agency workers. Specifically, job demands have a negative impact on psychological well-being, whereas job resources have a positive impact. Therefore, even though the work is demanding, sufficient resources can help maintain the psychological well-being of workers.

Shame and depressive symptoms in men: The moderating role of environmental mastery and purpose in life.

Feelings of shame are linked to increased risk for depression. Little is known about protective factors that may buffer this effect, particularly in men. Using prospective data from a community sample of Australian men, we examine the extent to which shame is associated with depressive symptoms, and the protective role of psychological wellbeing, specifically environmental mastery and purpose in life. Participants (n = 448) were from the longitudinal Men and Parenting Pathways (MAPP) Study. Measures were the Event Related Shame and Guilt Scale for shame, the DASS-21 for depressive symptoms and Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being for environmental mastery and purpose in life. Linear regressions were used to test associations between shame and depressive symptoms concurrently and 1-year later, and the moderating effects of mastery and purpose in life. Shame was strongly associated with concurrent depressive symptoms (βunadj = .76, p < .001; βadj = .63, p < .001). This effect was weaker in men with high compared to low environmental mastery (β+1SD = .46, p < .001; β-1SD = .55, p < .001) and purpose in life (β+1SD = .48, p < .001; β-1SD = .62, p < .001). Shame also predicted subsequent depressive symptoms after adjustment for prior depressive symptoms (βunadj = .59, p = .001; βadj = .34, p = .004), although environmental mastery or purpose in life did not moderate these associations. Our findings suggest that promoting a sense of psychological wellbeing in men may confer protective proximal effects in the context of shame, potentially attenuating depression severity. The current study aligns with calls for strength-based approaches to reducing mental health problems in men.

Mindful Eating Behaviour, Psychological Well-being, and Gender Differences among Young Adults

The purpose of this paper is to make a theoretical link between mindful eating, psychological health, and gender of young adults concerning health and well-being. The assessment of life satisfaction is a significant aspect of people’s psychological well-being that involves such domains as autonomy, self-realization, interpersonal relationships, and self-approval, which are crucial for estimating the state of people’s mental health. Knowledge and endorsement of what is ingested and how it is processed have been reported to be very effective in supporting healthy nutrition practices and eradicating eating disorders. It is essential to have such behaviors pointed out in young adults because this category of the population is especially susceptible to health hazards during this stage. Personal analysis shows that there is a difference between male and female participants when it comes to psychological health as well as eating habits; therefore, it is essential to examine gender influence on mindful eating as well as the psychological well-being of participants. To assess these variables, the current study employs standard and reliable tools like Ryff’s Psychological Wellbeing Scale and Mindful Eating Behavior Scale on 180 young adult respondents within the age range of 18-26 years. Moreover, demographic variables including gender concerning the relationships on top of depression, stress, and anxiety will also be examined either as the predictor or moderator. The first research question is to understand the direction of the relationship between mindful eating behavior, psychological health, and gender in young adults and the second is to understand whether these relations can be either buffered or exacerbated by specific factors. Thus, the purpose of the study will be to expand the current understanding of the particular strategy that can be used to promote the overall health of such population. In addition, the research will contribute to the database of health determinants concerning young adults and show that complicated approaches are required for individuals with healthy and unhealthy habits concerning their psyche and body.

Understanding The Correlation Between Self-compassion And Psychological well-being Among Young Adults In India

The present study examined the correlation between self-compassion and psychological well-being subscales (personal growth, environmental mastery, purpose in life, self-acceptance, autonomy, and positive relationships with others) in young adults in India. The sample (aged 18–40, N = 109) was collected using a non-probability sampling technique from various regions of India. The tools used were the Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003) and the Psychological Wellbeing Scale (Ryff, 1989). The data were found to be normally distributed, so Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used for analysis. The study aimed to address research questions such as Hypothesis 1, which posits no significant correlation between levels of self-compassion and psychological well-being. Hypothesis 2, on the other hand, proposes a significant correlation between these levels. The results indicate a positive correlation between self-compassion and the psychological well-being subscales of personal growth, purpose in life, self-acceptance, and positive relationships with others and no significant correlation between Environmental mastery and Autonomy in young adults.

Evaluation of the effect of motivational interviewing interventions on treatment motivation and psychological well-being in patients with substance use disorder: a randomized controlled trial

ABSTRACT Background Although there are many evidence-based clinical studies examining the effect of motivational interviewing (MI) on substance use rates and relapse in substance use disorder (SUD), it has not been adequately explained how motivational interviewing affects the nature of the disease. Objective This study was conducted to examine the effect of MI on treatment motivation and psychological well-being of patients with SUD. Methods This was a randomized controlled study, including 74 patients who were diagnosed with SUD. Patients were allocated either to a combination of MI and treatment as usual (intervention group, n = 38), or treatment as usual only (control group, n = 36). Personal Information Form, Treatment Motivation Questionnaire (TMQ), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB) were used to collect the data. Results TMQ subscales scores and PWB scores were significantly higher in the intervention group when compared with the control group after three weeks of treatment. Conclusions Our results showed that MI interventions significantly increase psychological well-being and treatment motivation in patients with SUD (p < .05). MI interventions may be used along with other treatments by psychiatric nurses and other mental health professionals in patients with SUD.

Professional quality of life, psychological well-being, and work engagement of healthcare professionals in two Greek hospitals during COVID-19: A cross-sectional study.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the mental health of healthcare professionals has emerged as an issue of great concern. To investigate the levels of professional quality of life, psychological well-being, and work engagement among healthcare professionals in two Greek hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study was conducted in December 2021 in two public hospitals in Greece. To assess the levels of professional quality of life, psychological well-being, and work engagement, respondents completed the Professional Quality of Life Scale Version 5 (ProQOL-V), the Psychological Well-being (PWB) scale, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-17). A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed, and 102 were returned (response rate: 68%). It was found that as burnout levels increased, the levels of work engagement decreased (rho = -0.36, p-value < 0.01). Higher levels of compassion satisfaction were associated with higher work engagement (rho = 0.48, p-value < 0.01). Multivariable analysis revealed that healthcare personnel's contact with patients or service users exposed to or who have experienced traumatic events was associated with less positive relationships with others (and, consequently, lower levels of psychological well-being) (p-value = 0.035). Healthcare professionals in the two public hospitals in Greece, experienced moderate levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their psychological well-being was also found to be moderate, and their levels of work engagement were moderate to high. Supporting the physical and psychological well-being of healthcare professionals is essential for their ability to provide high-quality care in times of crisis, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The effects of mandala coloring on fatigue, psychological well-being, and coping with stress in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.

Hemodialysis is an important health problem that negatively affects psychosocial status and support systems. Through practices such as mandala coloring, individuals transfer the unknowns they experience to the outside and make them visible. This study was conducted to examine the effects of mandala coloring on fatigue, psychological well-being, and factors associate with coping with stress in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. The design was a prospective, parallel-group controlled trial. The study was conducted in the dialysis unit of a university hospital in eastern Turkey between April 4 and October 31, 2022, with a total of 60 patients, 30 in the intervention group, and 30 in the control group. The patients in the intervention group colored mandala once a week for 2 h, for a total of 8 weeks. The data were collected face-to-face using a patient information form, a Fatigue Severity Scale, a Psychological Well-Being Scale, and a Ways of Coping Questionnaire. There were improvements in fatigue severity and psychological well-being over the 8-week study period in both the intervention and control groups. Scores were similar at baseline in the control and intervention groups, but better in the intervention groups compared to controls at 4 and 8 weeks for both metrics (p < 0001). Five factors from the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (self-confident approach, optimistic approach, seeking social support, helpless approach, and submissive approach) each improved during the 8-week period in the intervention group (p < 0.001). Three of these five factors improved in the control group as well. Scores for each of the five coping factors were better in the intervention group compared to controls at 4 and 8 weeks (p < 0.001). Mandala coloring improved fatigue and psychological well-being and was associated with improved patient coping strategies.

The relationship between psychological well-being with levels of anxiety, COVID-19 fear and depression in individuals hospitalized with COVID-19

Introduction and aim. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected both the physical and mental health of societies. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between psychological well-being with levels of anxiety, COVID-19 fear, and depression in individuals hospitalized with COVID-19. Material and methods. This descriptive correlative study was conducted with 685 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 treated in the clinics of a pandemic hospital. The data of the study were collected with the information form, psychological well-being scale (PWBS), COVID-19 fear scale (FCV-19S), and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). Results.
