A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. Two research questions and corresponding hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The population of the study was all students in the 21 boarding secondary schools (10 public and 11 private) in Bayelsa state. The instrument for data collection was a “School-based Violence in Boarding Schools Questionnaire” (SVBSQ) which was developed by the researchers and validated by experts. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha formula and a coefficient of 0.75 was obtained which was considered appropriate for the study. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested using Z-test statistic at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that bullying, verbal abuse, corporal punishment, forceful collection of property, sexual violence, general beating and washing of toilets, sweeping the hostel are major forms of school-based violence displayed by students while killing and sexual violence are minor forms of school-based violence displaced by students in private and public boarding secondary schools and that there is no significant difference in the mean responses of students in private and public boarding schools in Bayelsa state . It was recommended amongst others that the school system should employ the services of matrons/warders/boarding house officers, to reduce violence and school management should be encouraged to implement the strategies for controlling students’ aggression in secondary schools in Bayelsa state.","PeriodicalId":320629,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Psychology and Behavioural Sciences","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132347473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to reduce psychological impacts, more research data are needed to help develop evidence-based strategies. We conducted a single center, cross-sectional study, with the aim of assessing the immediate psychological impact of COVID-19 pandemic on medical and paramedical staff in a cancer treatment center providing continuous health care during the pandemic. Methods: From April 19th to May 5th, 2020, medical and nursing staff from Oncology and Hematology Center of Mohammed VI University Teaching Hospital was invited to participate with a self-report questionnaire. We used Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) to evaluate stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, respectively. Additional information on demographic characteristics, medical history, exposure to COVID-19, and accessed mental health services were included in the questionnaire. Results: We received 93 completed questionnaires. Among all healthcare workers included in this study, 30.1% reported stress, 32.3% had anxiety, 30.1% reported depression, and 31.2% had insomnia symptoms. Occupation, female gender, concomitant chronic diseases, history of mental disorders, and history of contact with suspected or confirmed patients were risk factors for psychological disturbances, whereas care provided by hospital decision-makers, and full coverage of all departments with protective measures were protective factors. Conclusion: During the initial phase of COVID-19 outbreak in Morocco, about one-third of the respondents reported moderate to severe psychological impact, and more than half rated their anxiety, depression symptoms, and insomnia as moderate to severe.

This study explores the influence of emotional labour, power distance and social dominance orientation (SDO) on attitudes towards women in high ranking jobs. The study adopted a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design. A total of 315 employees across a wide range of the industrial sector in Southern part of Nigeria participated in the study. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire and analysed using a three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent samples t-test and hierarchical regression analysis. Findings revealed that emotional labour, power distance and social dominance orientation independently and jointly influenced attitudes towards women in high ranking jobs. (f [1, 315] =17.611; p<.05). Employees with perceived low power distance (x ̅=89.66, SD=18.68) and low social dominance orientation (x ̅=94.73, SD=20.45) significantly reported more favourable attitudes towards women in high status jobs than employees with perceived high power distance (x ̅=72.16, SD=17.04) and high social dominance orientation (x ̅=70.85, SD=12.91). Power distance, social dominance orientation and emotional labour are important in the examination of attitude towards women in positions of authority. It is therefore suggested that trainings and media campaigns to change perceptions be intensified.","PeriodicalId":320629,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Psychology and Behavioural Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129433555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The burden of caring for children with mental illness (CWMI) often falls on their caregivers, especially the mothers. Caregivers of CWMI experience significant challenges and are at an increased risk of experiencing mental distress than the general population. Resilience, emotion regulation, and social support are identified as protective factors against mental distress among caregivers. Objective: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with mental distress among caregivers of CWMI attending the child and adolescent mental health clinic at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Tanzania. Methodology: Hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at MNH Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. A purposive and convenient sample of 120 caregivers of CWMI attending the child and adolescent mental health clinic at MNH were recruited in the study. Interviewer-administered paperless questionnaire consisting of a socio-demographic questionnaire, self-reporting questionnaire (SRQ), 10-item Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were used to collect data.

However, the level of risk varies among women in same-sex relationship pending on sexual risk behaviors they engage in, posing differentiated perceived and real health needs. I present perceived health needs among women who have sex with women in Tanzania. Four qualitative methods were used to collect data: in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, collecting participants’ life stories and observations. Data analysis deployed thematic approach where open systematic coding of data in the participants’ language and combining emerging emic concepts with preconceived theoretical constructs was used. With the exception of the women who identify transgender men or tomboys, women interviewed reported having similar primary and specialized health needs like their counterparts. Transgender men reported in need of affordable sex toys, lubricants and trusted healthcare providers skilled to manage their specific health needs. Deep-rooted belief that homosexual females are at low risk of HIV and other STIs coupled with a lack of awareness of the link between female same-sex sexual practices and diseases informed the poor risk perception demonstrated by women studied. I recommend for larger ethnographic and multidisciplinary (longitudinal/cohort) studies, with different designs and nationally representative samples to assess women who have sex with women’s health needs and wellbeing in the Tanzania context.","PeriodicalId":320629,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Psychology and Behavioural Sciences","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123967802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
