Self-Efficacy towards Health Risk among Graduates

Abstract

One of the most intriguing topics in health risk research, as well as behaviour change, is the concept of behaviour change. Understanding the factors that influence behaviour change becomes critical for the organisation or community to ensure that behaviour change is properly addressed. However, changing one's behaviour is difficult due to a variety of external and internal barriers. The purpose of this study is to look at behavioural changes that can help prevent mental health risks such as depression among undergraduates. As a result, organisations must identify the factors that influence behaviour change in order to protect themselves from mental health risks such as depression among undergraduates. As a result, this study looks at the factors that influence behaviour change in terms of self-efficacy and action planning by partially adopting Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) Theory. This paper explains how the efficacy of students' can positively adapt changes of behavior towards preventing the risks of mental health risks such as depression as a first step in a bid to reduce the chances of having it. Finally, as an initial experiment, this study provides a conceptual framework for the role of self-efficacy and planning in assisting behaviour change among undergraduates in order to prevent mental health risks such as depression risk.

A Study on the Causes of Work Stress among Malaysia Civil Defense Force (MCDF) Personnel

“…When a worker's abilities do not match the demands of the job, it gives rise to harmful emotional and physical conditions, and stress is the response to those conditions (Okechukwu & Babatunde, 2021). A study by Yussof, Idris and Razak (2022), recommended conducting more research to find out the prevalence of mental health hazards such as stress, anxiety, and depression as well as ways to avoid them. According to them, workplace stress can negatively impact employees' quality of life, productivity, and job performance (Yussof et al, 2022).…”

According to them, workplace stress can negatively impact employees' quality of life, productivity, and job performance (Yussof et al, 2022). This is agreed by Wijayanti and Fauzi (2020) that emphasized employee job stress negatively affects performance to a greater or lesser extent.…”
