This article presents an examination of career counselling models and services for students with SLDs. The chosen methodology for this research was a narrative literature review. Some examples of career counselling models discussed in this article include the trait-and-factor model, the client-centered career counselling model, and the faith-based career counselling model. The provision of career counselling services to students with SLDs was addressed, including aspects such as choosing a career and promoting a balance between their professional and personal lives. Career counselling models provide counsellors with a practical framework for implementing career counselling with students. These models are particularly valuable in offering practical career assistance to students with SLDs. It is advisable for career counsellors to acquire a deeper understanding of the experiential worldviews held by students with specific learning disabilities, recognise the potential impact of these disabilities on students' sense of self, and formulate interventions aimed at facilitating these students' adaptation to the educational environment and professional settings. Students with specific SLDs who use career counselling services are afforded the chance to develop a professional identity that is in congruence with the demands of the current job market.","PeriodicalId":55720,"journal":{"name":"Konselor","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135429140","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}

This need is strengthened considering that health is not just the absence of illness but a complete state of well-being. This fact leads to a sharp turn to psychological measures for understanding and ascertaining the construct which has been explored extensively in developed countries. Understanding the construct through the sub-Saharan African lense becomes necessary for accuracy in the assessment to improve the population’s health mental-well-being and to reduce the risk of those impending effects in case of the reverse. With the need for comprehension across multiple factors, scientific consensus is considered necessary for reflexivity and applicability, deployable at medium-scale level. Adapting the POWER framework while leveraging the Web of Science data base complemented with random Google-led searches, this paper reviewed related literature on mental health and well-being revealing that the construct is fast gaining attention in sub-Saharan African space with heavy reliance on western-developed/validated assessment instruments majorly deployed as paper-pencil. The adaptive forms which are largely non-existent becomes a direction for research considering the need for accuracy in mental well-being and a framework for action to ensure transdisciplinary science of sustainability which is fast-gaining relevance for tackling complex problems in a bid to promote health and mental well-being in a targeted population.","PeriodicalId":55720,"journal":{"name":"Konselor","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136275647","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}

Mathematics anxiety significantly impedes students' efforts to attend or study mathematics courses. Researchers have developed mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) to aid in the recovery of students suffering from academic anxiety, particularly mathematics anxiety. The primary objective of this article is to assess how effective these MBIs have aided in alleviating students from mathematics anxiety so as to achieve success in their academics. This study utilized a discursive-analytic literature review approach. The following MBIs were identified: mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), self-compassion therapy (SCT), yoga, and meditation. Few studies examined some MBIs and reported their significant treatment effects on mathematics anxiety. Specifically, existing studies examining MBSR and MBCT for the treatment of mathematics anxiety in students reported a significant positive effect. A study examined the efficacy of SCT in treating mathematics anxiety in students and reported a positive effect. Educators who use MBIs should prioritize the implementation of successful therapy strategies with their students, consider the necessary time frame to achieve desired results, and explore the fundamental processes that facilitate change. This will facilitate future educators in adapting their techniques in a manner that is advantageous to their respective students.","PeriodicalId":55720,"journal":{"name":"Konselor","volume":"438 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136275646","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}

Nigerian workplaces are known to present psychosocial dangers, however, no studies have examined how the lecture attributes may affect these risks. In order to determine whether demographic factors can affect psychological workplace risks of academics, researchers examined factors such as age, education, and location of the university. A sample of 185 lecturers from universities in southeast Nigeria participated in the study, which utilized a qualitative research strategy and an ex-post facto research design. The study's data were collected using an adapted Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire. A reliability index of 0.87 was calculated for the survey items. In order to analyze the data, we applied the statistical procedure called analysis of variance. While lecturers' ages and university location affected their psychosocial occupational hazards, their educational qualification did not play a significant role. As a result, lecturers are more likely to experience psychological workplace risks as they grow older. It is recommended that University authorities should consider the age of candidates when making their hiring decisions in order to avoid recruiting lecturers more likely to suffer psychological hazards.","PeriodicalId":55720,"journal":{"name":"Konselor","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136275648","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}

This research is a cross-sectional quantitative study which has a sample of 142 health workers. This study uses instruments from Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire II (COPSOQ II), Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire and Brief COPE Inventory (Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced). Data processing uses process macro moderation analysis by Andrew F. Hayes through the SPSS Program. The results of the study show there are moderation effects of job control and coping strategies on emotional job demands and different dimensions of burnout. Job control as job resources moderates emotional job demands and the exhaustion dimension of burnout. While coping strategies as personal resources between emotional job demands and the burnout dimension of disengagement. Health workers can use their job control to overcome the emotional work demands experienced by health workers. Other than that, health workers can also be given activities or programs that can improve their coping skills, either those that focus on behavior or those that focus on emotions.

This study aims to determine the correlation between emotion dysregulation and deliberate self-harm in adolescents. This study applied two instruments to measure each variable: (1) Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), developed by Victor and Klonsky (2016), to measure emotion dysregulation; and (2) Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, developed by Gratz (2001), to measure deliberate self-harm. Researchers implemented a quantitative approach with a correlational design to answer the research questions. Participants were 174 adolescents recruited from the distribution of online questionnaires with purposive sampling technique. Findings from the study indicate that emotion dysregulation is positively correlated with deliberate self-harm in adolescents with a sig p value < 0.005.

A total of 108 patients were evaluated with the Roman IV criteria and the frequency of functional constipation was investigated.Results: A total of 108 cases, 87% (n = 94) male and 13% (n = 14) female, were studied. The ages of the patients were between 2 and 15 years and the mean age was 6.89 ± 2.76. Organic constipation was not detected in patients with constipation and all of them were diagnosed as functional constipation. There was no statistically significant difference between the rates of functional constipation in cases according to gender. The incidence of functional constipation in males was significantly higher in patients with severe autism than in those with mild to moderate autism. “Two or fewer defecations in the toilet per week” criteria was found significantly higher in girls than in boys. No significant difference was found for the other five criteria according to gender. Each of the six criteria of the Rome IV criteria were found to be significantly higher in patients with severe autism than those with mild to moderate autism according to CARS scores. One of the Roman IV criteria, “History of large diameter stools that may obstruct the toilet” was found significantly higher in patients aged nine years and older.
