Relationship between Perceived Social Support and Readiness for Treatment in ...iosrjce
Patients having Conversion disorder receives and reinforced by attention and social support thus
they assume sick role unintentionally. Present study aims to examine the characteristics and symptoms of
patients with conversion disorder while find out the relationship of perceived social support and readiness for
treatment. This study was conducted in Lahore, Pakistan. Fifty Conversion patients diagnosed by
psychologist/psychiatrist from different psychiatric departments of hospitals of Lahore were selected and were
required to complete the questionnaires. To assess the perceived social support and readiness for treatment,
Multidimensional Perceived Social Support scale (MPSS) and Client Motivation for Therapy Scale (CMOTS)
was administered respectively. Pearson Product Movement Correlation and t-test was applied for statistical
analysis. Results showed significant relationship between perceived social support and Readiness for treatment.
No significant differences were found in both genders. Perceived social support is related with readiness for
treatment in patients with conversion disorder. No significant gender differences have been found in perceived
social support and readiness for treatment in conversion patients. The result can facilitate psychologist and
other professionals to design the psychotherapy based on increasing sense of perception toward social support
and motivational strategies for patients with conversion disorder.
Background: This study explored the relationship between work stress, workload, and quality of life (QOL) among rehabilitation professionals. Methods: This study applied a cross-sectional design. A questionnaire was distributed to rehabilitation professionals—comprising physicians in the rehabilitation department, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists—working in teaching hospitals. A total of 152 valid responses were collected, yielding a valid response rate of 93.8%. Results: For female respondents, factors affecting the QOL were educational level, type of professional license, length of service, average leisure hours per week, expense on leisure per week, work stress, and workload (all p < .01). For male respondents, no factor reached statistical significance (p > .001). Conclusion: This study provides the following suggestions to hospital administrators: establishing a stress-relief helpline, evaluating employees’ workload, regularly arranging stress management training courses, implementing employee health promotion programs, and promoting proactive strategies to improve employee physical and mental health.

Quality of life (QoL) and Wellbeing (WB) - differences and similaritiesStella I. Tsartsara
Well-being is about Quality of Life. In Health related evaluation both are Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) tools, measuring population health and relate therefore strongly with Behavioral Economics. Both are lowering Healthcare costs, raising productivity and therefore community competitiveness . They also relate to Active and Healthy Ageing (AHA) theory for elderly population, and Gerontology/Geriatric Assessment.

A methodological review of resilience
measurement scales
Gill Windle1*, Kate M Bennett2, Jane Noyes3
Abstract
Background: The evaluation of interventions and policies designed to promote resilience, and research to
understand the determinants and associations, require reliable and valid measures to ensure data quality. This
paper systematically reviews the psychometric rigour of resilience measurement scales developed for use in
general and clinical populations.
Methods: Eight electronic abstract databases and the internet were searched and reference lists of all identified
papers were hand searched. The focus was to identify peer reviewed journal articles where resilience was a key
focus and/or is assessed. Two authors independently extracted data and performed a quality assessment of the
scale psychometric properties.
Results: Nineteen resilience measures were reviewed; four of these were refinements of the original measure. All
the measures had some missing information regarding the psychometric properties. Overall, the Connor-Davidson
Resilience Scale, the Resilience Scale for Adults and the Brief Resilience Scale received the best psychometric
ratings. The conceptual and theoretical adequacy of a number of the scales was questionable.
Conclusion: We found no current ‘gold standard’ amongst 15 measures of resilience. A number of the scales are
in the early stages of development, and all require further validation work. Given increasing interest in resilience
from major international funders, key policy makers and practice, researchers are urged to report relevant validation
statistics when using the measures.
Background
International research on resilience has increased substan-
tially over the past two decades [1], following dissatisfac-
tion with ‘deficit’ models of illness and psychopathology
[2]. Resilience is now also receiving increasing interest
from policy and practice [3,4] in relation to its poten-
tial influence on health, well-being and quality of life
and how people respond to the various challenges of
the ageing process. Major international funders, such
as the Medical Research Council and the Economic
and Social Research Council in the UK [5] have identi-
fied resilience as an important factor for lifelong health
and well-being.
Resilience could be the key to explaining resistance to
risk across the lifespan and how people ‘bounce back’
and deal with various challenges presented from child-
hood to older age, such as ill-health. Evaluation of inter-
ventions and policies designed to promote resilience
require reliable and valid measures. However the com-
plexity of defining the construct of resilience has been
widely recognised [6-8] which has created considerable
challenges when developing an operational definition of
resilience.
Different approaches to measuring resilience across
studies have lead to inconsistencies relating to the nat-
ure of potential risk factors and protective processes,.
Objectives: The goal of this intervention study was to examine the influence of an individualized evidence based psycho educational intervention on appraisal of caregivers (CGs).
Method: This pre-post longitudinal study (baseline, six, twelve and 18 months follow-up) was based on a psychoeducational
intervention (Progressively Lowered Stress Threshold (PLST) model) and a NYU caregiver intervention with 125 informal caregivers of community dwelling people with dementia (PWD). Statistical analysis consisted of T-test, repeated measures Anova and Linear Mixed Models.

Objective: Although supervision has long been considered as a means for helping trainees develop competencies in their clinical work, little empirical research has been conducted examining the influence of supervision on client treatment outcomes. Specifically, one might ask whether differences in supervisors can predict/explain whether clients will make a positive or negative change through psychotherapy. Method: In this naturalistic study, we used a large (6521 clients seen by 175 trainee therapists who were supervised by 23 supervisors) 5-year archival data-set of psychotherapy outcomes from a private nonprofit mental health center to test whether client treatment outcomes (as measured by the OQ-45.2) differed depending on who was providing the supervision. Hierarchical linear modeling was used with clients (Level 1) nested within therapists (Level 2) who were nested within supervisors (Level 3). Results: In the main analysis, supervisors explained less than 1% of the variance in client psychotherapy outcomes. Conclusions: Possible reasons for the lack of variability between supervisors are discussed.

The study examines the relationship between the Big five personality traits of N CC female students and life satisfaction in Tiruchirappalli. This study consists of 208 female respondents, who had attended the Annual training camp in Tiruchirappalli. Finings revealed that the Big five personality traits explained about 30.1% of variance in life satisfaction. Among the Big Five traits, extra-version and neuroticism were found to be the strongest predictors of life satisfaction.
Literature ReviewA search was conducted using electronic database.docxssuser47f0be
Literature Review:
A search was conducted using electronic databases in the fields of nursing, medicine, education, psychology, and sociology. Using ProQuest Direct and EBSCO search engines, the following databases were accessed: CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), MEDLINE in PubMed, Ovid, and PsycINFO. The search terms were grouped in the following key concepts: (a) occupational stress in nursing, (b) stress perception in nursing, (c) occupational stressors in nursing, (d) nursing generational diversity, and (e) coping in nursing. In a commentary on patient safety in nursing practice from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Hughes and Clancy7 reported that complexity and bullying represent 2 clear examples of nurse stressors. Li and Lambert8 concluded that nurses who are more satisfied with their job are more likely to remain in the workforce and to be committed to delivering high-quality patient care. Hall9 found that healthcare professions have some unique characteristics leading to occupational stress including physical responsibility for people, potential catastrophic effects on the patient and the employee, frequent exposure to pain and suffering, and exposure to infectious diseases and potential hazardous substances. Hamaideh et al10 identified that death and dying were the strongest stressors perceived by Jordanian nurses. In this study, workload and guidance were found to be the most supportive behaviors provided to nurses facing stress followed by emotional support.10
Carver and Candela11 concluded that considering the global nursing shortage, managers should increase their knowledge of the generational diversity. It is suggested that understanding how to relate to multiple generations can lead to improved nursing work environments.11 Repar and Patton12 found that the combined effects of compassion fatigue, chronic grief, and emotional and physical exhaustion led to significant burnout and prolonged job dissatisfaction in the nursing profession. In this study, using guided sessions, a massage therapist gave 10-minute chair massages, and a visual, language, or musical artist engaged participants in imaginative and creative activities such as poetry reading, free writing, guided imagery, and listening to live music.12 The results suggest that the activities reduce some of the unpleasant, stressful, and tension-producing emotions that nurses typically experience at work, leaving them more peaceful and energized.12 Based on the findings of this review of the literature, it is recognized that stress is a major component of nursing and can be detrimental to nurse retention. In addition, most studies identified some differences that exist between the present generational nursing cohorts in terms of values and beliefs. No studies were identified reporting how work-related stress affects different generations of nurses, how the generations perceive stress, and what coping styles are used.

Impacts of Mentor’s Strategic Communication on Adjustment Problems among Adol...Arun Varghese
ABSTRACT Introduction: Adolescence is the period of rapid changes in physical and mental state. Rapid storm of physiological changes brigs a great deal of stress and adjustment difficulties. It represents one of the critical transitions in the life span with a wide range of adjustment and mental health problems. The present study is aimed to assess the impact of Mentor’s Strategic Communication on adjustment problems among adolescents. Methodology: A quasi experimental non-equivalent control group design was chosen to assess the impact of Mentor’s Strategic Communication by using Self developed Adjustment Inventory among 60 adolescents (30 each experimental and control group) with mild and moderate adjustment problems at selected schools, Kerala. The Samples were selected based on simple random sampling. Appropriate descriptive & inferential statistics was applied to compute the results. Results: Finding reveals that out of 30 students, 70% reported moderate adjustment problems while 30% were in mild adjustment issues in experimental group. There was a significant difference for adjustment problems among experimental and control group after Mentor’s strategic communication (p<0.001). Further, number of siblings (p<0.032) and education status of father (p<0.008) found significant association to adjustment problems among schools going adolescents. Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that majority of adolescents face adjustment problems and Mentor’s strategic communication had significant impact on improvement in adjustment problems. A planned and timely infusion of mentorship strategy may help them to deal with their day to day adjustment problems and help them to focus in studies in a better way.

• Other Objectives
• To find-out the association between resilience and hope.
• To find-out the association between resilience and
subjective-wellbeing during pandemic
• To find-out the association between hope and subjective-
wellbeing during pandemic.
5. HYPOTHESIS
• H01: there is no cause and effect relationship
between perceived resilience and subjective
wellbeing.
• H02: there is no cause and effect relationship
between hope and subjective wellbeing.
• H03: there is no dependence of perceived
resilience and hope on subjective wellbeing.
6. Research Methodology
• The Study- Causal
• Sampling Design
• Population- Adults in India.
• Sampling Element - Individual adult was used as the
sampling elements of the study.
• Sampling Techniques - Non-probability purposive sampling
technique was used.
• Sample size- 170 individuals
7. • Tools for Data Collection
• The Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire (NMRQ).
