Recovery from Long COVID: How College Students Thrive During Lockdown | Author : Alisa Mar Cabacungan, Klent Rodni Mundog Delima, Jo Niza Boldero Mortiz, Loressa Joy De Claro Paguta, Ruel Billones | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The Long COVID-19 Syndrome affected the lives of college students on lockdown for almost two years (2020-202), is the focus of this paper. Specifically, this study examined their stress, anxiety, depression levels, and psychosocial factors (socioeconomic status, adverse childhood experiences, and perceived social support) were related to these mental health issues. The impact of the Long COVID-19 on the students well- being and their coping mechanisms were explored. Using a cross- sectional survey research design, 600 students from different areas in Mindanao (southern islands of the Philippines) participated in this study. Results showed that the majority of the respondents reported no stress (78%), no anxiety (38%), and no depression (44.80%) during the lockdown. Moreover, a significant positive relationship appeared between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and levels of stress (p <0.001), anxiety (p <0.001), and depression (p <0.001). These findings suggest that adverse childhood experiences increase and the risk of other mental health issues increases. Results also suggest a significant negative relationship between perceived social support and levels of stress (p <0.05) and depression (p <0.05). The intersection of learning in higher education and mental health suggests the correlates of stress, ACE, and anxiety. |

Furthermore, demographic data also showed the highest percentage using of expressive suppression among men than women. This research illustrates that individuals could achieve healthy family functioning during the age period of emerging adulthood. In addition, in the context of marital relationships among individuals in the emerging adulthood age period, there are also more adaptive emotion regulation strategies, the use of cognitive reappraisal emotional regulation strategies are better used by married emerging adults for better healthy family functioning in the family. |
| The Role of Perceived Organizational Support on Employee Turnover Intention | Author : Nadia Khairina | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Based on data obtained in 2016, it is known that at PT. X, the number of employees who made a turnover or changed jobs was 40 people or the equivalent of 25% of the total 135 employees at PT. X. Employees who have a high level of perception of organizational support will show high commitment and will not look for alternative jobs or have the desire to move out. As a result of previous research, perceived organizational support is one factor that reduces turnover intensity. This study recruited participants using a purposive sampling technique in which 55 men agreed to be participants. The analysis showcases a negative relationship between perceived organizational support and turnover intensity. The higher the perceived level of organizational support, the lower the turnover intensity behavior. Another finding is there is a 12.5% effect of perceived organizational support on turnover intention, which means that perceived organizational support is one of the main factors that directly affect turnover intention. This finding can be another evidence that perceived organizational support significantly affects turnover intention. |

However, little attention is given to psychotherapeutic intervention in managing mothers caring for such children in Nigeria. This study, therefore, investigated the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) among mothers of children with CP accessing therapeutic outpatient services at Federal Psychiatric Hospital (FPH) Lagos, Nigeria. This research follows a quasi-experimental type with pre-test, post-test plans, and control group. Accordingly, 30 people were selected through volunteered sampling among mothers of children with CP accessing therapeutic outpatient services at child/adolescent unit of Federal Psychiatric Hospital. Then, they were randomly placed into two groups of 20 (experimental and control) each and evaluated using research tools. Research tools consisted of Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II) and Cerebral Palsy Psychological Health Scale (CPPHS) whose reliability and validity have been confirmed in previous studies. Research data were analysed using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The statistical analysis confirmed the difference in the components of psychological health and acceptance level/psychological flexibility in the experimental group, which had received acceptance and commitment therapy compared to the group that had not received any therapy in this regard (control group) (p<.05). The ACT had significant effect on Psychological Health {F (1.36) =7.94} after controlling for severity of illness and parental knowledge. Participants in experimental group improved in their Psychological Health when compared with those in control group {t(38) = 3.20}. Acceptance level/ psychological flexibility of the mothers improved after intervention with a decrease in pretest mean score (= 31.60) to posttest mean score (= 24.10). Acceptance and commitment therapy improves psychological health |
