“…Social support does have an important role in relieving adolescents’ stress, contributing to stabilizing their emotional state and having a positive impact in promoting adolescents’ mental health ( Qi et al, 2020 ; Ringdal et al, 2020 ). For adolescents, social support has a transitional role when they face crises, making them feel more trusted, respected, tolerant, understanding, and concerned, and less anxious and depressed ( Xing et al, 2016 ; Kang et al, 2022 ). The present study enriches the explanatory mechanism of family adaptability affecting adolescent depression from the perspective of ecological systems theory.…”

ObjectivePrevious research has shown a correlation between family adaptability and adolescent depression. However, there is a lack of studies that have investigated the underlying mechanism between family adaptability and adolescent depression. Based on the Ecological Systems Theory, this study aims to investigate the link between family adaptability and depression in adolescents, mediated by the sequential roles of social support and self-efficacy.MethodsThe sample consisted of 1086 students randomly selected from seven public middle schools in Shandong Province, Eastern China. All the participants filled in the structured self-report questionnaires on family adaptability, social support, self-efficacy, and depression. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in AMOS 24.0.ResultsThe findings of this study are as follows: (1) Family adaptability is negatively associated with adolescent depression; (2) Social support plays a mediating role between family adaptability and adolescent depression; (3) Self-efficacy plays a mediating role between family adaptability and adolescent depression; (4) Social support and self-efficacy play a chain mediation role between family adaptability and adolescent depression.ConclusionIt is suggested that early interventions and support should be provided to facilitate adolescents’ family adaptability, social support, and self-efficacy, thus reducing their depression and improving mental health of adolescents.

“…The provision of social support can come from a variety of different sources, such as managers and coworkers, relatives and friends, and friends of friends. The significance of social support in the nursing profession has recently come to light because it has the potential to influence both the level of care that nurses deliver and the overall enjoyment they derive from their work [ 33 ]. Additionally, feedback, mentoring, and resources can be provided via social support, which is another way it can boost the efficiency of training programs.…”

Background The nursing profession has significant importance in delivering high-quality healthcare services. Nursing practitioners who have essential competencies and who are satisfied with their job are vital in achieving optimum patient outcomes. Understanding the effects of technology integration on nurse workforce competencies and job satisfaction is crucial due to the fast progress of technology in healthcare settings. Furthermore, many elements, including self-efficacy, social support, and prior experience have been recognized as possible mediators or moderators within this association. The primary objective of this quantitative research was to examine the influence of nursing education and the integration of technology on the competencies and job satisfaction of nursing professionals. Additionally, this study aimed to explore the potential mediating and moderating effects of self-efficacy and social support in this relationship. Methods This cross-sectional, quantitative study employed an online survey questionnaire with standardized scales to measure nursing workforce competencies, job satisfaction, self-efficacy, social support, and prior experience. It was completed by 210 registered nurses from various healthcare settings in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and structural equation modeling performed with SPSS 23 and SmartPLS 3.0 software. Results The study’s findings revealed that nursing workforce competencies and job satisfaction were significantly predicted by nursing training and technology integration. The relationship between nursing training and technology integration, as well as nursing workforce competencies and job satisfaction, was partially mediated by self-efficacy and social support. Furthermore, prior experience moderated the relationship between nursing education and technological integration, nursing workforce competencies, and job satisfaction. Conclusions The study’s findings suggest that nursing training and technology integration can improve nursing workforce competencies and job satisfaction and that self-efficacy and social support play an important role in mediating this relationship. Furthermore, prior experience can have an impact on the efficacy of nursing training and technology integration programs for developing nursing workforce competencies. The study has several practical implications for nursing education, training, and professional development programs, as well as strategies used by healthcare organizations to improve nursing workforce competencies and job satisfaction. To maximize their impact on nursing workforce competencies and job satisfaction, this study recommends that nursing training and technology integration programs focus on enhancing self-efficacy and social support. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significance of prior experience when designing and implementing nursing training and technology integration programs.

“…Perceived social competence or social intelligence [ 15 , 16 ] has been defined as the ability of an individual to effectively engage in social interactions and communicate through many skills: (1) emotional regulation [ 17 ], which is the ability to acknowledge one’s emotions and to control them during stressful events; (2) self-awareness [ 18 ], which is defined by the capacity of someone to have reasonable judgment regarding a stressful situation; (3) self-esteem and self-confidence [ 19 ]. A meta-analysis [ 20 ] showed small to moderate decline in aggression with presence of social competences among school-aged children, and a similar study [ 21 ] concluded that aggression could be prevented by providing social-emotional competence in educational settings. A previous study involving 2265 Korean students [ 22 ] supported the moderating effect of social competency on aggression mediated by psychological distress.…”

Introduction The majority of people experience anger at some point in their lives when confronted with unpleasant situations. In social settings, anger can lead to aggressive and hostile in the absence of adequate social competences. Our study aims to examine the moderating role of perceived social competences in the association between psychological distress and anger expression (trait anger, hostility, physical aggression, and verbal aggression) among a sample of Lebanese adults. Methods 403 participants above 18 years (the mean age was 24.56 ± 8.46) were enrolled in the cross-sectional study with 73% female participants. The candidates were asked to complete a structured questionnaire including the following scales: (1) Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire-Short Form (BPAQ-SF), (2) the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-8), (3) Perceived Social Competencies (PSC), and (4) The De Jong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale. Results The interaction psychological distress by perceived social competence was not significantly associated with physical aggression, verbal aggression, or hostility but was significantly associated with anger. After adjusting the results over variables that showed a p <.25 in the bivariate analysis, this association was significant at low (Beta = 0.24; p <.001), moderate (Beta = 0.20; p <.001) and high (Beta = 0.16; p <.001) levels of perceived social competencies, where higher psychological distress was significantly associated with more anger. On another note, with higher perceived social competence, we find a decrease in levels of psychological distress in our sample. Conclusion This study provided evidence that perceived social competencies such as communication skills, empathy and prosocial behaviors act as moderators in the association between psychological distress and anger. In future works, investigating and building advanced program in order to develop social competences of individuals might prove important. It is crucial to implement such strategies and projects in schools: this educational setting could be fruitful in a way that social skills could be instilled during childhood and anger-aggressive behaviors could be managed throughout adulthood.
