Objectives: In this study, we explored the relationships between psychological capital (PsyCap), social support, and academic adjustment in undergraduate students with learning disabilities (LD), comparing those receiving support from university centers to their unsupported peers. PsyCap, comprising hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism, is a critical determinant in the academic success of students with LD. We assessed the impact of PsyCap and social support on academic adjustment, comparing LD students who visited institutional support centers to those who did not. Methods: The sample included 120 undergraduate students with various LD diagnoses, including attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders. Data were collected using 4 questionnaires. Results: There were statistically significant positive correlations between PsyCap and social support but only among students receiving institutional support. Furthermore, academic adjustment was positively associated with both PsyCap and social support, regardless of institutional support. However, LD students attending institutional support centers showed higher levels of PsyCap, social support, and academic adjustment than their counterparts who did not. Conclusions: The findings suggest institutional support enhances PsyCap-social support relations, underlining the importance of such support systems in educational settings. The study contributes to the understanding of academic adjustment challenges faced by students with LD and underscores the value of targeted support strategies.
Background: The health behavior reflected through patients' recovery determines the actions and attitudes of such individuals to manage their health-related concerns. However, like other factors, personality traits like Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism would greatly support recovering from any disease the patients suffer. Methods: Covering these personality domains, this research applies an empirical investigation of the role of personality traits and social support for recovering patients from different types of diseases in the Chinese region. An up-to-mark methodological context named covariance-based structural equation modeling technique was selected for the data being collected using the self-administered among the patients struggling from the recovery of the different diseases in Guangdong, China, having many hospitals and health-related units. Results: The study, however, through the CB-SEM algorithm, shows that the lowest factor loadings/weights exist for the Openness, hence deleted from the model. However, out of the remaining personality traits, the results show that both Agreeableness and Conscientiousness also improve the patients' recovery. Conclusion: Nevertheless, the study does not achieve significant evidence in favor of social support for the patients' recovery, yet policy suggestions have been provided.
Aim: This research study has explored the relationship between the cardiac rehab program, improvement in depression and anxiety and cardiac health behavior among the Chinese respondents. Methodology: the study applies the quantitative data analysis. A short questionnaire was developed using the several measuring factors of the cardiac rehab program, improvement in the depression and anxiety and cardiac health behavior of the Chinese residents. Sample and Estimations: A sample of 226 respondents was collected using the primary data method of questionnaire. The estimation techniques include the descriptive statistics, checking for the collinearity by variance inflation factor, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The results show that satisfaction with the level of education received from training, usefulness of cardiac rehab program, Success in Finding Information, and Understanding about the information are positively related with the health responsibility, physical activity, diet habit, stress management, and smoking cessation. Moreover, usage of educational tools also creates a positive output in the form of cardiac health behavior among the selected respondents. However, change in the anxiety is negatively related to physical activity, and stress management.
Objectives: We investigated the impact of temporal focus, and emotional and spiritual intelligence on the well- being of emerging adults in Israel's Palestinian minority population in a time of war. Methods: There were 194 Palestinian students enrolled in higher education in Israel who participated in the study. A machine-learning random forest model was employed to explore the interaction of predictors using traditional linear regression and a regression tree. Results: High emotional intelligence and present temporal focus were linked with elevated satisfaction with life. High past temporal focus and older variables were associated with low levels of satisfaction with life. We found no statistically significant differences by time of questionnaire completion (before or after the outbreak of war). Conclusions: For the Palestinian minority in Israel, personal indicators of agency were predictive of life satisfaction, but advent of war had no significant effect on any of these indicators.
Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of health literacy, economic status, healthcare access, family support, and digital health information on the health behaviour of elderly individuals in China. Methodology: Data were collected from elderly populations in Beijing and Wuhan, with a sample size of 560 participants analysed using the JASP statistical software. Results: The results indicated that health literacy and economic status did not significantly influence the health behaviour of the elderly in China. In contrast, healthcare access, family support, and digital health information were found to have a substantial effect on health behaviour among this demographic. Conclusion: These findings offer both theoretical and practical contributions, enriching the existing body of knowledge and providing valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers.
