Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire

The range of students ages are 18 – 24 years have a responsibility as students at college susceptible to stress even if exaggeration can trigger suicidal ideation.Suicide data for students aged 18-26 in America in 2016 reached 1,000 people/year, while in Indonesia the national death rate from suicide during the year of 2016 recorded 1,800 cases. Preliminary study results on 30 students: 45% think unable to continue life, 20% thought hopeless, 5% Think to harm themselves and 30% Have positive think to against stress. Objective: To determine the relationship of stress levels with suicide ideas in students. Research method used correlational quantitative research methods and purposive sampling techniques with a sample count of 250 respondents. Research instruments uses perceived stress scale valid (0.84) and reliable (Cronbach α 0.85) and Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (&gt;1.96) reliable (Cronbach α 0.97). Results found the highest stress levels in the moderate stress category (80.0%) and the majority of suicidal ide ideas have a minimum risk (77.2), and there is a link between stress and suicidal dealing with a p-value of 0.048. Further research related to the application of adaptive stress coping and the provision of social support to students.<p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA </strong>Mahasiswa yang termasuk dalam rentang usia 18-24 tahun memiliki tanggung jawab sebagai pelajar di Perguruan Tinggi rentan mengalami stres berlebihan sehingga dapat memicu ide bunuh diri.

The Relationship

Sympathetic neural responses to mental stress are well documented but controversial, whereas sympathetic neural responses to emotional stress are unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate neural and cardiovascular responses to emotional stress evoked by negative pictures and reexamine the relationship between muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and perceived stress. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), MSNA, and perceived stress levels were recorded in 18 men during three randomized trials: 1) neutral pictures, 2) negative pictures, and 3) mental stress. MAP and HR increased during mental stress (Δ14 ± 2 mmHg and Δ15 ± 2 beats/min, P < 0.001) but did not change during viewing of negative or neutral pictures. MSNA did not change during viewing of neutral (Δ1 ± 1 burst/min, n = 16) or negative (Δ0 ± 1 burst/min, n = 16) pictures or during mental stress (Δ1 ± 2 burst/min, n = 13). Perceived stress levels were higher during mental stress (3 ± 0 arbitrary units) than during viewing negative pictures (2 ± 0 arbitrary units, P < 0.001). Perceived stress levels were not correlated to changes in MSNA during negative pictures ( r = 0.10, P = 0.84) or mental stress ( r = 0.36, P = 0.23). In conclusion, our results demonstrate robust increases in MAP and HR during mental stress, but not during emotional stress evoked by negative pictures. Although the influence of mental stress on MSNA remains unresolved, our findings challenge the concept that perceived stress levels modulate MSNA during mental stress.

Stress is a common problem in modern life. Most Malaysian students suffer from high stress levels and poor sleep quality without realising their harmfulness to health and well-being. The major focus of the paper is to examine the relationship between stress and sleep quality among Cognitive Science undergraduate students. This paper also investigates if demographic attributes (gender differences and year of study) affect stress level and sleep quality. The participants of this study comprised 90 Cognitive Science undergraduate students studying at the Universiti Malaysia Sarawak.  Data was collected by using the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (Perceived Stress Scale) and Sleep Quality Questionnaire (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). The results of the study showed that there was a weak relationship between stress and sleep quality. Those in the poor sleep category reported higher levels of perceived stress. Moreover, the findings showed that female students had higher stress levels than male students. First year students appeared to experience poorer sleep quality compared to final year students. The study also found no interaction effects between gender and year of study on sleep quality and stress. Further research could be conducted with a bigger population size and in other study programs. Future research could also assess non-demographic factors which might influence stress and sleep quality.

In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declares a pandemic of infection with the novel coronavirus (nCoV) COVID-19 and on 23rd of April the first official report on its evolution and effects emerges. A state of medical emergency and quarantine is imposed in all affected countries. This study proposed a research of what parenting entails and which are the implications of parenting in a crisis context for young people, particularly how perceived parental support and perceived support work on the relationship between stress on one hand, and depression and anxiety on the other hand, especially for those who study online due to context. The proposed sample consists of 104 students aged 18 to 25. Participants self-reported on their attitude towards online school, perceived stress levels, perceived parental and maternal support and anxiety and depression levels. The procedure consists of completing online questionnaires. The statistical procedure used is the mediation analysis. The results show that there is a partial mediation effect of perceived parental support and perceived parental support in the relationship between stress and anxiety, and the attitude towards the online academic races leave to an increase in perceived stress levels. These results could be used for programs to prevent the negative effects associated with online school and the effects of long-term social isolation, as well as for psychological education and parenting programs in emergency situation.

This research aims to examine in the context of the structural equation model the moderating effect of spiritual orientation on the relationship between the situation of common anxiety and the levels of perceived stress in individuals who teach at different types of schools. Similarly, addressing teachers’ perceived stress levels, common anxieties, and spiritual orientations in the context of various demographic variables is an aim of the present study. The research universe included teachers working at various school levels in the 2018-2019 school year in the Anatolian side of the Province of Istanbul. The research sample consisted of 268 teachers from different school levels. Data were obtained using scales for perceived stress, common anxiety, and spiritual orientation and a form on demographic information. In line with the aims of this research, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and path analysis were used. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the variables of stress and anxiety were in a negative and significant relationship with the variable of spiritual orientation (r1=-.305; r2=-.227; p<.001). As a result of the path analysis, spiritual orientation was seen to have a moderating effect on the relationship between perceived stress and common anxiety. The research has been discussed and finalized in light of the literature. Click or tap here to enter text.

138 studentai iš trijų šalių (Japonijos (45), Lietuvos (50) ir JAV (43)) buvo apklausti, siekiant nustatyti, kaip skirtingų kultūrų žmonės suvokia stresą ir kaip patiriamo streso lygis susijęs su individo tikėjimu, kad pavyks pasiekti tikslą, bei su savo Aš efektyvumo vertinimu. Vadovautasi prielaida, kad skirtingos kultūros lemia skirtingą streso išgyvenimą, o stresą patiriantis žmogus vertina savo Aš efektyvumą dar ir priklausomai nuo jį supančios kultūros. Tiksliau tariant, kolektyvistas, t. y. kolektyvistinės kultūros atstovas, išgyvens didesnį stresą ir prasčiau vertins savo Aš efektyvumą, palyginti su tokią pat situaciją išgyvenančiu individualistu, t. y. individualistinės kultūros atstovu. Tyrimas parodė, kad JAV studentai, kaip didesni individualistai, geriau vertina savo Aš efektyvumą ir išgyvena mažesnį stresą nei Lietuvos studentai, gyvenantys bendruomeniškesnėje aplinkoje. Japonijoje atlikto tyrimo rezultatai taip pat parodė, kad japonų studentai, pačios bendruomeniškiausios iš tirtų tautos atstovai, išgyveno didžiausią stresą, prasčiausiai vertino savo Aš efektyvumą. Gauti duomenys rodo, kad gilinantis į Aš efektyvumo, suvokiamo streso ir kultūrinių orientacijų ryšį, būtų galima rasti atsakymą į klausimą, kaip skirtingose kultūrose gyvuojanti streso samprata padeda žmogui atlaikyti jo padarinius.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: kultūrinės orientacijos, individualizmas, kolektyvizmas, Aš efektyvumas, stresas. A cross-cultural comparisonof perceived stress and self-efficacy across Japanese, U.S. and Lithuanian students Konstantinas Kononovas, Theodora Dallas SummaryA sample of 138 university students across Japan (45), Lithuania (50) and USA (43) were surveyed in order to compare their cultural orientations, self-efficacy and perceived stress levels. It was predicted that cultural orientations might differently affect participants’ levels of perceived stress and self-efficacy. Specifically, collectivists would have higher levels of stress and lower levels of self-efficacy in comparison with individualists. This study found that US students scored higher on individualistic scales, self-efficacy, and lower on perceived stress. In contrast, Lithuanian students had lower results on individualistic scales, self-efficacy, and higher on perceived stress. Lastly, Japanese students had significantly different results in comparison with Americans and in some cases with Lithuanians, scoring higher on collectivistic scales, perceived stress, and lower on self-efficacy. The implications of these results require an explanatory examination of the relationship between self-efficacy, stress and cultural orientations.Keywords: cultural orientations, individualism, collectivism, self-efficacy, stress.

The study aimed to determine the relationship between the job performance of individuals working in the sports industry and their perceived stress. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 474 people including 361 male and 113 female that working in a private company operating in the sports industry in Istanbul, and they were selected by purposeful sampling method. After the data showed normal distribution; Independent t-test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. According to the result of the analysis, there was no statistically significant difference found between the job performance and perceived stress levels of the participants according to their marital status and educational status. A significant difference was found in the perceived stress levels and job performances of the individuals according to their gender and working period in the workplace. Finally, it was found that there was a negative and low-level relationship between the perceived stress scale and job performance scale. As a result, it was determined that the stress perceived by the individuals and their job performance levels differed according to the socio-demographic characteristics of the individuals, and the higher the stress levels perceived by the individuals, the lower their job performance were.

The Way

The present study investigated the relationship between people’s reasons for listening to music, trait emotional intelligence, and alexithymia whilst also controlling for the effect of participants’ gender, age, and perceived stress levels. In keeping with previous research, initial findings indicated that emotionally intelligent individuals were less likely to use music to relieve and alleviate negative moods, whilst those who had high scores on a measure of alexithymia were more likely to use music for the same reasons. However, when the effects of gender, age, and perceived stress were controlled for, these relationships were no longer significant and previously non-significant relationships between trait emotional intelligence and using music to manipulate arousal and to reminisce about the past were found to be significant. Together these findings suggest that emotional intelligence is related to the reasons why people listen to music but not in the way that previous research had suggested, and the apparent links between emotional intelligence and mood management might be better explained by the stress experienced by participants at the time of questioning.

Many psychological researchers have proven the deteriorating effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic on public mental health. In Malaysia, various Covid-19 clusters were associated with religious gatherings. From a cultural psychology perspective, how ethno-religious groups respond to this crisis originating from their unique rationality and ecological systems. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the illness perceptions of major religious groups (Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist) in Malaysia toward the Covid-19 pandemic, their stress levels, and the relationship between illness perception, stress, and forms of religious expression during the lockdown period. Through an online survey method, 608 Malaysian religious believers were included in this mixed-method empirical study, which adapted standardized instruments [Duke University Religion Index (DUREL), Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)]. Statistical analysis showed that all three groups reported moderate levels of stress in average without any significant difference after controlling for age. Both internal and external forms of religious expression had a significant negative relationship with stress levels. Personal control, comprehension, and emotions domains of illness perception accounted for a significant variance in the stress level. Furthermore, religious expression significantly moderated the relationship between some illness perception domains and stress. Qualitative coding revealed that most participants perceived human behavior and attitudes, sociopolitical, and sociological factors as causal factors to the current pandemic. These findings confirmed the relationship between religious expression, illness belief, and stress regulation during the pandemic lockdown. Incidental findings of age as a potential protective factor for Malaysian believers warrants further study. In the conclusion, implications for public health policymakers and religious communities on pandemic prevention and well-being promotion were discussed.
