“…Researchers support Ellis' theory that cognitive behavioral approaches (CBAs) can help workers manage and reduce stress by identifying negative thought patterns and correcting them. [4,22,39] Also, the findings of this study are consistent with the findings of previous studies that demonstrate that CBAs are effective in managing and reducing depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as improving a person health status. [4,38,[40][41][42] As found in the study, CBAs can be effective in changing dysfunctional thoughts and managing occupational stressors in science and social science education facilitators, [43] which is in line with a similar study conducted in 2020 in Nigeria South-South region.…”

“…A CBA intervention was proposed in this study to correct dysfunctional workplace impressions such as "I must have continuous support from colleagues and superiors," or "affairs in the workplace must follow a predictable path," adapted from literature. [4] As part of the CBA intervention, the researchers planned to provide active sessions where participants would experience the side effects of misconceived ideas, receive guidance on analyzing arguments, making inferences, evaluating issues, and ultimately, be able to manage stressors around them by making informed choices.…”

“…The cognitive and behavioral approach to stress management has received wide recognition in literature. [4,22] Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the basis of CBA, which is premised on the idea that undesirable thought patterns and stimuli can negatively affect a person emotions and behavior in the workplace, and therefore must be identified and corrected. Individuals can change the way they think and relate to others by identifying adverse thinking patterns in them and replacing them with more acceptable and progressive thinking patterns.…”

Background: Those in administrative positions in adult education are more likely to suffer from stress because of the hard work they do, long hours in the office, a lack of adequate medical and welfare packages, and a lack of financial aid. In this study, adult education workers in Nigeria were assessed on the effectiveness of a cognitive and behavioral approach to managing occupational stress in public administration. Method: This study was a group-randomized trial in which 94 adult education workers occupy public administrative positions within Enugu State, Nigeria, participated. Data were collected using 2 instruments, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Workplace Stress Scale, which were validated by cognitive and behavioral psychologists at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The instruments contained internal construct and content validity as determined by Cronbach alpha. ANCOVA was employed to test for hypotheses and answer research questions. Results: This study demonstrates that cognitive and behavioral approaches are significantly effective in managing occupational stress among adult education workers who work for public agencies. Conclusion: To improve stress management capacity among adults in public administration positions, researchers recommend frequent exposure to cognitive and behavioral approaches.

“…Conceptually, cognitive restructuring technique (CRT) is a behaviour change technique that deals with the potential effect of clients' attribution on the change and maintenance of behaviour (Oguzie, Ani, Obi & Onyegirim, 2018). It is a core component in cognitive behavioural therapy which focuses on cognitive, thinking, emotion and behaviour (Mkpoikanke, Ibiwari, Elizabeth, Chigbu & Favour, 2021). CRT addresses the potential impact or clients' attributions on the modification and maintenance of behaviour (Chigbu, Oguzie, Nwosu, Ngwaka & Onu, 2022).…”

The study investigated the effect of cognitive restructuring technique on emotional adjustment among sampled single mothers in Abia State, Nigeria. The need for the research came as a result of high increase of single mothers in the area of the study and the quest to ameliorate the continuous increase in the subject area. The study was guided by two research questions and two hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted thenon-randomized pretest-posttest control group quasiexperimental design. The population of the study consisted of 52 sampled single mothers in Umuahia and Isuikwuato Local Government Areas of Abia state. The entire populations of 52 single mothers were used as sample for the study because the number was manageable by the researchers. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire titled “Emotional Adjustment of Single Mothers Questionnaire (EASMQ)” developed by the researchers and validated by three professionals from the Faculty of Education at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The instrument yielded a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.83, which was dimmed sufficient for the study. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at p 0.05 level of significance and answer research questions utilizing the data obtained for the study. The result of the study indicated that cognitive restructuring technique had significant effect on emotional adjustment of sample single mothers. The study also showed thatthere was no significant difference in the effects of cognitive restructuring technique on emotional adjustment among urban and ruralsingle mothers. In the other words, urban and rural single mothers benefitted almost equally from the CRT treatment. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that professional counsellors should employ all necessary avenues such as workshops, seminar and jingle to help the single mothers adjust emotionally using cognitive restructuring technique.

Studies have shown that reading difficulties and low achievement motivation have a negative impact on the learning outcomes of students. This research investigated the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in improving the reading skills and achievement motivation of 70 primary school students in Southeast Nigeria. The experimental group received CBT treatment. The control group received normal classroom instruction. Data were analyzed using a 2 × 3 mixed design. The results showed that CBT improved students’ reading skills and achievement motivation. Thus, CBT can be used in the treatment of reading difficulties and low achievement motivation among primary school students.
