Impact of Sociodemographic and Psychological Factors on Adherence to Glaucoma Treatment - A Cross-Sectional Study.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases characterized by progressive and irreversible damage to the optic nerve. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of sociodemographic and psychological factors on adherence to glaucoma therapy. The study was carried out among 190 adults treated for glaucoma at the Ophthalmology Outpatient Clinic of the University Teaching Hospital in Wroclaw between January 2019 and September 2019. Treatment adherence was measured using the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS). We used the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), the Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). 58.9% patients reported low treatment adherence. Educated females aged 68 or under living in cities had higher adherence. The regression analysis showed an association between dispositional optimism and glaucoma treatment adherence. The higher the level of dispositional optimism, the better the adherence. Higher dispositional optimism is directly associated with a sense of self-esteem and self-efficacy and a feeling of internal control. Patients reporting a high level of illness acceptance were found to have 2.5 times higher odds of adhering to glaucoma therapy. Illness acceptance is an indicator of the degree of adaptation to an illness and is positively correlated with a sense of self-esteem and self-efficacy and engagement in healthy behavior. More than half of patients with glaucoma have low adherence. Sociodemographic characteristics (female gender, age 68 or under, tertiary education and living in an urban area) and psychological characteristics (high level of illness acceptance, dispositional optimism and satisfaction with life) are significant predictors of high adherence.

Dental Aesthetics and Self-Esteem of Patients Seeking Orthodontic Treatment.

(1) Objective: This study aimed to investigate how patients' perceptions of their dental aesthetics and their sense of self-esteem are related. (2) Methods: This cross-sectional survey recruited 141 new patients seeking orthodontic treatment. Patients completed a self-administered questionnaire consisting of three parts: the Malaysian Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES-M), and Aesthetics Component of the Index of Orthodontics Treatment Need (IOTN-AC). Clinical assessment comprised the Dental Health Component of the Index of Orthodontics Treatment Need (IOTN-DHC). Multiple linear regression was performed, with self-esteem as the dependent variable, while the independent variables comprised the domains of PIDAQ; IOTN-AC; IOTN-DHC; and patients' demographics, such as age, gender, and their level of education. (3) Results: The response rate was 96.5% (n = 136 respondents). The multiple linear regression found that, when the other predictors in the model are held constant, Social Impact, Aesthetic Concern, and Dental Self-Confidence are the factors that significantly contributed to explaining the variation in self-esteem, accounting for, 3.9%, 2.3%, and 2.0%, respectively. The entire model explained 23% of the variation in self-esteem. (4) Conclusions: Domains of the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics act as predictors of self-esteem in orthodontic treatment-seeking patients.

Social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities through career/professional counseling

In the context of the inclusive mindset of modern society, as a social value, this paper opens the question of social inclusion of people with mental disabilities in one of the many sociological areas, specifically in the field of professional application of the target group of people with mental disabilities in the labor market. Getting a job is not just a matter of earning; it's also about the sense of self-esteem and value one brings to the world. The aim of this paper is to describe the specifics of career counseling arising from the fact that a student with a given disability is influenced by the impacts of intellectual disability in certain aspects of preparation for a profession or independent life. Vocational counseling can show people with intellectual disabilities that they are capable of achieving things they didn't even know were possible for them. This has a huge positive impact on their self-esteem and overall quality of life. Quality professional counseling contributes to breaking stereotypes and prejudices, which often limit people with mental disabilities in society.

Enhancing student creativity in Chinese universities: The role of teachers’ spiritual leadership and the mediating effects of positive psychological capital and sense of self-esteem

Creativity is considered a key competency in contemporary society and is crucial for college students’ personal growth and future career development. There are many internal and external factors affecting college students’ creativity, among which teacher leadership, an external factor, is substantial. In light of this, this study introduces a new, more detailed theoretical framework that considers the mechanism of influence of teachers’ spiritual leadership on college students’ creativity. Moreover, among the intrinsic influences on college students’ creativity, psychological resources are particularly important; thus, this study selected two variables, positive psychological capital and sense of self-respect, to explore their dual mediating effects in the relationship between spiritual leadership and college students’ creativity. With 697 Chinese college students as the research object, this study collected relevant data through a questionnaire-based survey and statistically analyzed it using SPSS and AMOS. The results show that college teachers’ spiritual leadership has a positive effect on college students’ creativity, and positive psychological capital and sense of self-respect mediate this relationship. Complementing the currently insufficient literature on the factors influencing the development of college students’ creativity, this study provides a perspective that allows for a deeper understanding of the formation process of college students' creativity by exploring the interrelatedness of several factors and elucidating the influence mechanism between them. The results can help optimize programs and strategies to improve college students’ creativity. Specifically, they suggest that by cultivating and enhancing college teachers’ spiritual leadership, educational institutions and organizations can promote the development of college students’ creativity and provide support for students’ comprehensive quality improvement. Simultaneously, paying attention to the establishment of college students’ psychological resources can enhance the level of college students’ creativity.

EFFECT OF SELF-ESTEEM ON LIFE SATISFACTION AMONG ADOLESCENTS

This study aims to investigate two things based on the empirical data mentioned above: (1) how self-esteem and life satisfaction are related (2) the effects of gender on self-esteem as well life satisfaction. This review paper indicates that our emotional health, relationships, well-being, and ability to make decisions are all impacted by our sense of self-esteem. Adolescents who are confident in their skills and abilities may feel more satisfied with their lives generally, which could lead to higher self-esteem. Similarly, persons who tend to underestimate their own skills may have lower levels of positive self-esteem in response to reduced life satisfaction. Adolescents with high life satisfaction scores also exhibit better levels of social, emotional, and academic self-efficacy than those with low life satisfaction. Reduced levels of happiness and life satisfaction might result from poor self-esteem. Life satisfaction and self-esteem help adolescents to control, regulate, or reduce psychological distress and increase their subjective happiness, which in turn contributes to their overall mental well-being. Whether these two variables are high in boys or girls, the conclusion is that gender has an impact on self-esteem and life satisfaction. Increased life satisfaction is predicted by self-esteem and academic achievement in both boys and girls Gender influences the expression and growth of self-esteem. KEYWORDS: Self-Esteem, Life satisfaction, Adolescents

DEMENTIA CAREGIVER RE-ENTRY INITIATIVE: FINDING NEW DIRECTION AND PURPOSE AFTER CAREGIVING ENDS

Abstract Many former dementia caregivers struggle to find a “new normal” when the long and exhausting caregiving journey ends. Grieving eases, the estate is settled, and now what? Who am I after caregiving ends? Following 12 years of intense care for their parents, two with dementia, Sheryl Fairbanks and Warren Wolfe searched nationally for a program that might help them restart their lives. They found none. In 2016, they launched the Former Dementia Caregiver Re-Entry Initiative, which has served more than sixty people. At a kick-off meeting, former caregivers said their deepest needs were reestablishing relationships with family and friends and finding new life purpose. Typically, six to eight former caregivers meet twice a month – online since the COVID pandemic - and focus on moving forward. They share that these meetings give them a renewed purpose, deeper social connections, increased energy and a new sense of self-esteem. “My kids care. My friends care,” one member explained. “But nobody who hasn’t lived it really knows how hard that time was, and how hard it is to find a new path.” Four similar programs have started in Minnesota, The couple has written a book to encourage more. In 2022, Ms. Fairbanks and Mr. Wolfe became Community Leads in a University of Minnesota research project to see if Black former dementia caregivers have unmet needs and whether this model might help. Preliminary findings will be presented at the Addressing the Needs of African American Bereaved Dementia Caregivers symposium at this GSA annual meeting.

Posttraumatic stress symptoms and postpartum anxiety among palestinian women: the mediating roles of self-esteem and social support

BackgroundWomen are estimated to develop several mental disorders during pregnancy and/or for up to a year postpartum, with anxiety and depression being the most common co-morbidities. Postpartum anxiety is less well studied compared with postpartum depression in the Palestinian context in terms of risk factors, mental health outcomes and protective factors.PurposeThe aim of the current study was to investigate whether self-esteem and social support mediated the association between posttraumatic stress symptoms and postpartum anxiety among Palestinian women.MethodsBerlin Social Support Scales, Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale, Impact of the Event Scale, and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were administered to 408 Palestinian women recruited from health centers in northern of the West Banks/ Palestine using a convenience sample.ResultsThe findings of our study revealed that postpartum anxiety positively correlated with posttraumatic stress symptoms (r = .56, p < .01), and negatively correlated with social support (r = − .30, p < .01), and self-esteem (r = − .27, p < .05). Moreover, posttraumatic stress symptoms negatively correlated with social support (r = − .24, p < .01), and self-esteem (r = − .25, p < .01). Results of structural equation modeling (SEM) showed a good fit of the hypothesized model.ConclusionsGiven this, it is recommended to conduct similar studies with diverse samples in the Palestinian society. It would also be useful for health professionals who work with Palestinian pregnant women (i.e., mental health providers, nurses, midwives, physicians) to assess self-esteem and social support in an effort to identify women who may be at greater risk of developing postpartum anxiety. It may also be worthwhile to develop and implement interventions during pregnancy which serve to enhance a women’s sense of self-esteem during this particularly stressful period.

The Resolute Women Characters, “Indramaya” and “Chitranggada”

This paper made study of two strong women characters Indramaya and Chitranggada in Bisheshwor Prasad Koirala’s Tin Ghumti(2004) and Sharada Sharma’a Kampa(2016) respectively. Drawing on feminist theory and gender theory, I analyzed these characters as real humans who are not immune of shortcomings, hardships and conundrums they face in their life. My effort was engrossed to explore how women’s sense of self esteem, freedom and existence is revered in these two novels. By resisting the imposed androcentric values these two characters choose to live their life independently saving their soul and individuality. Such characters can be found in Nepali society where they drift, fight, and claim their right to existence. The narrative, dialogues, and plot portrays these two women of the 21st century heroine, imperfect and sometimes absurd. True love is on the cards, but prohibited relationship nearly sinks them. But they realize and rise without remorse. They represent the world which is non-compliance with the world patriarchy has organized liberating oneself from the sense of inadequacies. They are the voice in the novel that is heard the loudest.

Exploring the antecedents of trust in electronic word-of-mouth platform: The perspective on gratification and positive emotion.

Frequent human-media interaction via the electronic word-of-mouth (e-wom) platform, trust is acknowledged as an ongoing challenge. This study aimed to understand users' trust in the e-wom platform based on uses and gratifications theory and stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) paradigm. Utilitarian gratification (perceived information quality and perceived privacy protection) was regarded as stimulus, social gratification (sense of social belonging and sense of self-esteem) and positive emotion as organism, and platform trust as response. Data was acquired from 268 users in China using a questionnaire survey, and the PLS-SEM was used to further analyze the results. The results indicated that there is a hierarchy relationship between types of gratifications. That is, utilitarian gratification is a premise of social gratification. Moreover, sense of self-esteem and positive emotion have a mediating effect between perceived information quality and platform trust. Sense of social belonging and positive emotion have a mediating effect between perceived privacy protection and platform trust. This study not only broadened trust between human and media, but also purposed a hierarchy relationship of different types of gratifications in e-wom platform.

Impact of Shyness on Self-Esteem: The Mediating Effect of Self-Presentation.

Background: Although the relationship between shyness and self-esteem is well described in the psychological literature, far less is known about the potential mechanisms that underlie this association. The main goal of the current work is to verify whether self-presentation acts as a mediating variable between both constructs. Methods: The study was carried out among 198 adults. The Revised Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Self-Presentation Style Questionnaire were applied. Results: A large and positive correlation coefficient was observed between the following variables: (1) self-esteem/self-promotion; (2) shyness/self-deprecation. All other variables correlated negatively: (1) shyness/self-esteem; (2) shyness/self-promotion; (3) self-esteem/self-deprecation; (4) self-promotion/self-deprecation. Moreover, both self-promotion and self-deprecation acted as mediators between life satisfaction and self-esteem. Conclusion: The outcomes of the present study show a new mediating aspect for the direct relationship between shyness and self-esteem in the form of two styles of self-presentation. The results indicate that the tendency of shy people to avoid others can have a lower effect on their overall sense of self-esteem when they try to present themselves in a clearly favorable light. By contrast, shyness may have a stronger impact on their sense of self-worth when they present themselves as helpless, unsure, and incompetent.

Verbal Abuse of Children

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development states that considerable progress has been made towards the SDGs since 2015, though it is still slow. Conflicts, environmental, financial, health and humanitarian crises place children at risk of multiple rights violations, violence, marginalization, and discrimination. The scale of violence against children in the 21st century is incredibly high, which has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.Verbal or emotional abuse is a form of behavior that can harm a child’s emotional development or sense of self-esteem. This form of abuse may include threats, constant criticism, rejection, as well as lack of love, guidance, support. In many cases it is rather difficult to prove an emotional abuse and accordingly, child protective services may not be able to take measures and somehow intervene without evidence of harm or mental injury to the child. Verbal abuse may have a number of different patterns, including blaming, criticism, judging, threats, insults. Accordingly, abuses like these can impact every element of life, including academic performance, relationships, success at work and later in life. Verbal abuse like any other form of bullying and insult may have both short-term and long-term consequences, including the following mental health problems: chronic stress decreased self-esteem, anxiety, depression and etc. Verbal abuse during childhood can have lifelong implications for victims, effecting their well-being and progress. Although the physical wounds may heal, there are many long-term consequences of experiencing the trauma of abuse. Maltreated and insulted children may be at risk of experiencing cognitive delays and emotional difficulties, among other issues, which can affect many aspects of their lives, including their academic outcomes and social skills development. Experiencing verbal abuse during childhood also is a risk factor for depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric disorders.Changing societal attitudes and norms is an important part of preventing violence against children, which often requires changing well-established social and cultural norms and behaviors. Especially those according to which some forms of violence are not only normal, but sometimes can be justified. A more benevolent attitude towards non-violent methods of upbringing should be developed and, most importantly, an awareness of what constitutes a violent act should be raised.

A Meta-Analysis of Students' Sense of Self-Esteem Among Iranian Studies

Self-esteem is crucial for the survival and mental health of human. It is not stable and changes heavily depend on physical conditions (health or disease), life experiences (success or failure), as well as mental moods (happiness or sadness). As many basic needs do not be satisfied with a lack of self-esteem, it is thought of as a prerequisite to an emotional life. Self-esteem is defined as how people describe and evaluate themselves. The present research aimed to conduct a meta-analysis on studies discovering the effects of psychological interventions on students' sense of self-esteem. The sample consisted of 50 Iranian studies. The snowball sampling technique was employed for studies have done in the last 14 years. Cohen's W effect size, Cochran q-statistic, Etu squared regression, publication bias, n-index, invulnerable number to error, as well as Orwin statistics were employed. Then CAM software was used to analyze data. Cohen's effect size value obtained from the effects of psychological interventions on students' self-esteem was 52.14±1.0 () (P-Value<0.001). 682 studies were required to reject the significant effects of psychological interventions. All early studies suggested a significant effect on Cohen's effect size, so leaving out every one of them changed the results. However, the significance of psychological interventions on students' self-esteem still maintained when any of the studies were omitted. Results suggested a significant effect of psychological interventions on students' sense of self-esteem, and most of them have raised its index.

502 Adapting to COVID19: Can Virtual Burn Camp be as Impactful as Last Year’s In-person Camp?

IntroductionSkin is not the only casualty following a burn accident. Many children suffer long term, debilitating emotional effects from their burn injury (Abdullah et al. 1994; Kornhaber et al. 2018). Armstrong-James et al. (2018) and Maslow and Lobato (2010) found that summer camps explicitly designed for burn survivor children can positively impact children’s adaptability to stares and comments and improve their sense of self-esteem. Camp Susquehanna has been a summer camp for burn survivors for the past 25+ years. When the COVID19 pandemic closed many businesses, we decided to transition our in-person camp to 100% online. Researchers demonstrated the positive effects of summer camp for burn survivors (Maslow & Lobato, 2010; Bakker et al. 2011). However, the effects of a 100% online camp are not known. Our concern was, are we able to transition and be as impactful as it is face to face at camp? What will the schedule and activities look like in this new format? How will we ensure all children participating will have access to online and the supplies necessary?MethodsWe opted to select a three-week format with two sessions a day divided into two age groups. We ensured every child had internet access then mailed out a “camp in the box.” It contained all the things needed for each planned activity. The critical question remained, however, will we be as impactful? The current research looks at quantitative and qualitative measures of self-esteem, happiness, and satisfaction following participation in a three-week summer program held in July 2020. We make comparisons to previous years’ results. The authors expected that self-esteem, happiness, and satisfaction levels matched or exceeded last years’ levels.ResultsWe collected data from 42 campers and 22 volunteer camp counselors. Results show that campers were able to receive the support they needed, not only from the staff but also from their peers.ConclusionsThe delivery method was indeed different this year, but the positive effect on our campers remained the same.

Impacts of Unemployment on Graduates in Bangladesh: A Case Study

The study attempts to explore the impacts of unemployment; how the state of unemployment is becoming the cause of social, economic, physical, personality, and psychological costs on the unemployed graduates with identification of reasons for unemployment in Bangladesh. The study area was the unemployed graduates of the social science faculty of the University of Dhaka. The study followed a qualitative approach by using the case study method. Capacity mismatch, corruption, the incapacity of the graduates, absence of job specialization, outdated curriculum were the leading reasons for unemployment, the study identified. The impacts of unemployment are invariably alike on graduates-mental depression, embarrassment, socio-economic vulnerability, erosion of inner potentiality, degradation of personality, and frustration. The study explored that sense of self-esteem erodes due to peer group pressure and their attitudes towards unemployed graduates. The findings significantly guide that Bangladeshi graduates, who hailed from lower and middle strata, lack in entrepreneurial spirit and are bound in cyclical craziness to secure a job primarily a government job. It recommends for further evaluation of Bangladesh’s education systems, the focus on higher education which will meet the capacity mismatch between market demands and education; and changes in attitudes-overindulgence on government jobs, associated with cultural factors, must be needed to minimize the vulnerabilities. Academia, learners, policymakers, scholars, policy advocates will get significant insight from the findings of the study.
