The Psychological Effect of Mental and Social Assets on the Efficiency of Microfinance Institutions
Get PDFIntroduction: Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) are businesses that provide low-income people and communities that often do not have access to regular banking services and financial services such as modest loans, savings accounts, and insurance products. Strong social relationships and networks help MFIs reach and assist more prospective customers. Mental assets are especially important in the framework of MFIs for the staff members who deal with consumers and oversee the institution\u27s operations.
Methods: The impact of social and mental resources is regarded as one of the newest development strategies. In MFIs, social intermediation is seen as one of the key links in the process of replacing mental assets. With the use of empirical data, this research analyzes the link between mental and social resources and the effectiveness of MFIs and attempts to quantify its effect on the social empowerment of women. The study is based on primary data that was gathered from a random sample method used to choose 128 women from the Self Help Groups (SHGs) founded by a significant production firm in Karnataka, India, as part of its corporate social duty program. Only the amount of outstanding debt affects mental assets. The indices of optimism and depressive symptoms in people\u27s mental health don\u27t seem to be impacted by financial access.
Results: The result shows a strong positive correlation between mental and social resources and MFI effectiveness. The perceptions of SHG members regarding the alterations that the MFIs have caused in their lives are determined using a Likert scale about 15 factors related to capacity building, active and collective involvement in social and mental life, and knowledge rising to bring about desired alterations. It also shows that the influence of financial access on the mental health and financial standing of microfinance consumers is quite modest.
Conclusion: The report comes to the conclusion that the organization\u27s MFIs have generated social assets and metal that empowers SHG members. According to the study, social asset formation is not a natural process; instead, companies must intentionally cultivate it by putting into practice various laws, including programs to expand capacity, the improvement of decision-making abilities, etc
An Exploratory Controlled Trial Investigation of the Impact of a Positive Psychology Intervention on Promoting Well-Being in Greek Refugee Children
Get PDFIntroduction: Interventions for child refugees that are rigorously studied and focus on protective factors and supportive resources rather than reducing unfavorable outcomes are uncommon.
Objectives: To combat this, we created and assessed a brief, group-based resilience-building intervention called Strengths for the Journey (SFJ), which was created for children who had been impacted by conflict.
Methods: To address this problem, we developed and assessed SFJ. On the Greek island of Lesvos, 72 forcibly displaced children between the ages of 7 and 14 who were housed in three Refugee Camps (RC) (Mage = 10.76, 64.8% female) participated in a Pilot Study (PS)of the Strengths for the Journey intervention (SFJI).
Results: The effectiveness of the intervention (EI) was determined by contrasting pre- and post-intervention levels of happiness (hp), self-esteem (SE), optimism (Ot), and depressive symptoms (DS). With a total of 31 participants, it was decided to have four Focus Group (FG) interviews to get their opinions on the intervention\u27s impacts and how the participants were still using the skills they had learned. We found that the Intervention Group (IG) considerably outperformed the Wait-Listed Group (WLG) in terms of happiness, optimism, and depressive symptoms.
Conclusions: Participants in the FG emphasized the significance of SFJ in the process of cultivating a sense of unity and enhancing their strengths. Fast, frontline interventions that focus on protective factors like Well-Being (WB), hope, SE, and belonging may be useful for children who are refugees and are living in conditions with few resources

The Psychological Impact of High-Risk Newborn Care Simulation Training on the Critical Thinking Disposition, Self-Leadership, Problem-Solving Ability, and Clinical Competency of Nursing College Students
Get PDFIntroduction: Clinical competency is one of the core abilities that are required of nurses and emphasized by Korean Accreditation Board of Nursing Education. It refers to a nurse’s ability to expertly use knowledge, skills, and attitude in clinical settings. Simulation-based training is a method to allow students to experience different clinical situations. Previous studies reported that critical thinking disposition, problem-solving ability, and self-leadership are variables related to nurses’ clinical competency, albeit with somewhat conflicting results. This needs to be confirmed through further and repeated studies.
Objectives: This study utilizes a one-group pretest-posttest design to examine the impact of high-risk newborn care simulation training on nursing college students. The objective is to identify the factors that influence clinical competency and explore the correlation between the training and critical thinking disposition, self-leadership, problem-solving ability, and clinical competency of the students.
Methods: Data were collected both before and after the High-Risk Newborn Care Simulation-based training. The collected data were then analyzed using various statistical techniques, including SPSS/WIN 24.0 software. Descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson\u27s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analyses were employed to analyze the data.
Results: As a result, the mean score in critical thinking disposition, self-leadership, problem-solving ability and clinical competency increased a statistically significant level after Simulation-based training. And Clinical competency had statistically significant positive correlations with critical thinking disposition, problem-solving ability, and self-leadership. It was found that their clinical competency was affected by critical thinking disposition and self-leadership at statistically significant levels.
Conclusions: In order to help nursing college students, or future nurses, develop their clinical competency, attention needs to be paid to improving their critical thinking disposition and self-leadership. In addition, efforts need to be made to improve the quality of simulation-based training, which can supplement the limitations of clinical practice training

Community-based surveys find that 15–25% of adults suffer from chronic pain at any given time.
Objective: to assess mother\u27s knowledge of non-pharmacological pain management and determine the relationship between mother\u27s knowledge and their demographic data.
Material and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study is carried out in AL-Zahra teaching hospital at AL-Najaf city; the study has been conducted from 13th April 2022 to 2nd March 2023. A non-probability (purposive sample) of 96 mothers.
Results: The study results reveal a significant relationship between mother\u27s knowledge and mother\u27s education and occupation.
Conclusion and Recommendation: Most of the mothers surveyed demonstrated a limited understanding of non-pharmacological pain management methods. The study suggests that enhancing awareness among mothers through educational programs focused on non-medicated pain management would be beneficial. This approach aims to improve their knowledge levels, leading to a reduction in drug usage due to potential long-term effects
The Effect of a Family Counseling Program in Reducing Stress in Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Get PDFThis study aimed to measure the effect of a family counselling program in reducing the level of psychological stress among mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To achieve the goals of the study, a counselling program based on the theory of behavioural and cognitive therapy was d. designed and the maternal stress scale, which was applied to the participants consisted of six domains. The indications of validity and reliability were verified. Thirty mothers made up the study sample, who were equally divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15).The findings revealed that there were statistically significant gender differences at the significance level (a≤0.05) for the level of psychological stress among mothers in the post-test. As the mean forfemales was (3.42) which is better than thatof males (3.04). The calculated (T) value was (-3.340), which is a statistically significant value. There were also statistically significant differences (a≤0.05) in favour of the experimental group. These results are consistent with studies that adopted the theory of behavioural and cognitive therapy in reducing psychological stress among mothers, and this is due to the active and effective participation in the program sessions, because mothers did not previously receive similar programs because they were suffering from psychological pressures, and no one would provide them with any support.The study suggested that mothers should permanently perform the counselling program exercises to lessen the effects of psychological stress

The Relationship between Nutritional Intake and Mother\u27s Education Level with the Nutritional Status of Children with Special Needs
Get PDFChildren between the ages of 7 and 15 are considered to be of school age, and this is also an age period in which there is often a significant increase in children\u27s growth and development. But tragically, some kids don\u27t grow and develop normally, and they are the ones that are labelled as "special needs." This child has serious metabolic problems, which may affect their ability to absorb nutrients. The study\u27s overarching goal is to learn more about the links between maternal diet, nutritional knowledge, and children\u27s health and development. This study fits the criteria for what is known as a cross-sectional study. A total of 32 participants participated in this study\u27s sample. This research used a food-record questionnaire, a mother-nutrition knowledge exam, and a respondent-characteristic questionnaire. The findings showed that there was no significant relationship between children\u27s food intake and mothers\u27 nutritional knowledge with the nutritional status of students aged 7-15 years. The results of Spearman\u27s Rank correlation test indicate that there is no relationship between dietary intake and health. Spearman\u27s Rank correlation analysis yielded the same result, indicating that maternal nutritional literacy did not correlate with child growth and development
