<p>In this study, the relationship between pre-service teachers' psychological well-being levels and self-esteem, perceived general self-efficacy, cognitive emotion regulation strategies and hope variables were investigated together with how these variables predicted pre-service teachers' psychological well-being. The research was conducted via relational screening model. The research group consists of a total of 403 participants including 206 females and 197 males, who received pedagogical formation education at a university located in Turkey’s Marmara Region, and participants were selected using a simple random sampling method. In the research, Psychological Well-Being Scale (short form), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Scale, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, and Personal Information Form were used as data collection tools. The data obtained were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis. According to the findings, self-esteem, general self-efficacy, level of hope, positive reappraisal from cognitive emotion regulation strategies, accusing and accepting others significantly predicted psychological well-being.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0526/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

BACKGROUND The level of stress and life satisfaction of medical students plays a pronounced role in their mental development. Unfortunately, some of them may face huge psychological pressure. To better understand how to alleviate and improve their psychological problems has become an urgent problem. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate whether and to what extent general self-efficacy was related to medical students' stress state and life satisfaction level. METHODS This is a cross-sectional, observational study conducted among medical students in grades one to four from a medical college in Shenyang. All of the information was collected by questionnaire, which included sociodemographic data, life satisfaction index B (LSIB), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and Stress Response questionnaire (SRQ). Also, the questionnaires are demonstrated adequate reliability and validity. Linear regression models were used to calculate β and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) after adjusting for potential factors. RESULTS A total of 1543 medical students completed the survey, including 441 boys (28.58%) and 1102 girls (71.42%). General self-efficacy was significantly associated with emotional response (β, -1.37; 95% CI, -2.24, -0.49), physical response (β, -0.60; 95% CI, -1.13, -0.07), behavior response (β, -0.78; 95% CI, -1.20, -0.36) and the total stress response score (β , -2.60; 95% CI, -4.39, -0.80) adjusting for confounding factors. A positive belief about life satisfaction was associated with general self-efficacy (β, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.70, 1.31). The association between general self-efficacy, stress, and life satisfaction were also found in the stratified analyses. Moreover, the current research also revealed the interesting interactions between general self-efficacy and confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS We observed the negative associations between general self-efficacy and stress, while the positive associations between self-efficacy and life satisfaction. Moreover, regular psychological counseling should be provided to medical students. However, it is also necessary to confirm our findings and clarify the potential specific mechanisms in future studies.

First year medical students are under severe psychological distress, since they have to cope with the study demands of the medical curriculum. Living away from home and making a transition to a more independent and less supported condition can lead to distress. The present study was designed to determine psychological distress, general self-efficacy and psychosocial adjustments among first year medical college students in New Delhi. A cross-sectional study was designed and data was collected from 88 first year medical students of a government medical college in New Delhi. A pretested, semi-structured questionnaire was administered. The questionnaire consisted of socio-demographic data, Goldberg’s General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), Schwarzer’s General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES) and modified Pareek’s Pre-adolescent Adjustment Scale (PAAS). According to GHQ-12, 39.7% (95% CI 29.6-50.7) students had psychological distress; it was slightly higher in female students (41.6%) than their male counterparts (38.5%). Psychological distress was greater in students when both of their parents are doctors 66.6% (p-0.016). There was a negative association (r: -0.384) between GHQ-12 scores and GSES scores. From PAAS scores, 19.3% students were found to be maladjusted towards college and 9.1% students were found to be maladjusted with teachers. Adjustment towards peers was found to be good. The prevalence of psychological distress among first year medical students was high. The causes of psychological distress among medical students should be recognized and strategies should be designed to address those issues.

Data were collected using the Yang Internet Addiction, Scherer General Self-efficacy, and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. Results: The results of this study showed that the mean age of students were 22.31 years and the sex ratio was almost equal (43.9% male and 56.1% female). 12.2% of students had severe Internet addiction behavior. The most frequent use of the Internet during the day was 2-4 hours (35.4%), which was the most time consumed during the night (63.2%). The results also showed that the mean score of self-efficacy was 59.88 ± 8.72, the mean score of Internet addiction was 53.59 ± 16.43, and the mean score of happiness was 41.09 ± 12.99. Conclusion: Daily use of the Internet on various websites by students with Internet addiction reduces their sense of happiness; this finding could be an alarm about the increase of this disorder among students. So appropriate planning in this field should be done with the cooperation of university officials.
