Psychologically, the victim experienced post-traumatic stress. This article describes stress factors, forms of stress, and coping strategies of the Kanjuruhan tragedy survivors. The case study implemented a qualitative approach. Data were collected via in-depth interviews with three male adolescents who survived the tragedy. These informants reported symptoms of stress after the incident. In dealing with this stress, the informants used various methods which included problem-focused and emotion-focused coping.

Abstract

In the context of ongoing banditry incidents in Zamfara State, Nigeria, this study aimed to assess the mental health status of lecturers in Federal University Gusau (FUGUS). The purpose was to examine whether banditry had affected psychological well-being of the university teachers. Employing a descriptive survey design, data were collected from 86 lecturers using a Self-Reporting Mental Health Inventory (SMHI). The inventory demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.89) and comprised dimensions reflecting positive mental health attributes. Data analysis involved the use of mean scores, one-sample and Independent Sample T-Tests. The results of the analyses revealed that the mean scores for various dimensions of mental health were consistently below 3.0, suggesting a significant level of negative mental health experienced by the participants. Furthermore, an Independent Sample T-Test indicated that gender did not exert a significant influence on the observed negative mental health outcomes (t=-0.195, p>0.05). The findings underscore the need for targeted counselling interventions and support strategies to address negative mental health outcomes among lecturers, irrespective of gender, and to cultivate a conducive academic environment that promotes their psychological well-being.

Abstract

The pressure of juggling work responsibilities and academic commitments results in increased stress levels, problems with sleep and sub-optimal quality of life. This study examined the relationship between work-related perceived stress (WRPS), sleep disturbances (SD), and quality of life (QOL) among working university students. A total of 287 working Pakistani students (72 men, 215 women) participated in this study and were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (α=0.81), PROMIS Sleep Disturbances Short Form (α=0.88), and Quality of Life Scale-16 (α=0.92). The results showed that WRPS is significantly correlated with SD (r=0.397, p<0.01) and negatively correlated with QOL (r=-0.193, p<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis reveals that SD and QOL are predictors of WRPS. It also confirms that SD is a significant moderator in WRPS and QOL’s relationship, and the interaction variable (SD_QOL) is also significant. The findings emphasized the importance of balancing work and academics to reduce stress and improve students' overall quality of life. Further research should investigate specific stressors and their impact on sleep disturbances and the quality of life.

Abstract

Little is known about the relationship between sensory processing sensitivity and tension-type headache. The aim of the present study was to examine the moderating role of pain catastrophizing in the relationship between sensory processing sensitivity and tension-type headache. The sample was selected from Islamabad and consisted of 324 adults (46 men, 278 women). 212 adults were diagnosed with tension-type headache) via a structured questionnaire using the ICHD-3 criteria, and 112 did not report such a health condition. The Highly Sensitive Person Scale was used to measure sensory processing sensitivity, and the Pain Catastrophizing scale was used to measure pain catastrophizing. The results show that tension-type headache was positively correlated with sensory processing sensitivity (r = 0.35, p < 0.01), and this relationship was moderated by pain catastrophizing. This study sheds light on subtle factors contributing to headache disorders. It also informs clinical approaches, emphasizing the role of pain catastrophizing in the sensitivity-headache link, potentially guiding personalized interventions for improved headache management in individuals.

Abstract

The present study intended to assess the prevalence of burnout and its associated factors among teachers at Bule Hora University, Southeast Ethiopia. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to achieve the objective of the study. Using a simple random sampling technique, 220 (200 men and 20 women) teachers who were actively working at Bule Hora University during the study period were selected. Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), General Self-efficacy Scale (GSE), Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE), and Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) were used to collect the data. Then, quantitative data analysis techniques such as frequency, percentage, Pearson’s Product Moment correlation, and linear regression analysis were conducted to analyze the collected data. The study showed a significant positive correlation between personal accomplishment and self-efficacy (r=0.435, p<0.01), whereas optimism had a negative correlation with emotional exhaustion (r=-0.315, p<0.01) and depersonalization (r=-0.289, p<0.01). While self-efficacy significantly predicted personal accomplishment (B=0.690, t=7.107, p<0.01), optimism significantly predicted both emotional exhaustion (B=-0.143, t=-4.898, p<0.01) and depersonalization (B=-0.407, t=-4.456, p<0.01). From this result, we can conclude that the prevalence of burnout is attributed to self-efficacy and optimism. Therefore, concerned parties ought to design appropriate interventions that incorporate self-efficacy and optimism to manage university teachers' burnout.
