“…In a related study, Malhotra et al (2012) indicated that the existence of a child with disability negatively affects family relationship and wellness. Such negative attitudes and perceptions could be resolved using a well-promising cognitive behavioural treatment (Abiogu et al, 2020a(Abiogu et al, , 2020bAgah et 2020;Agah et al, 2021;Ugwuanyi, et al, 2020aUgwuanyi, et al, , 2020bUgwuanyi, et al, , 2020c like family health-model of REBT among family members to enable them to live up to expectation.…”

“…In addition, the study’s sample size did not in any could affect the study; this is in line with the assumptions that cognitive therapy is not affected by small sample size. Rather, what is important is the therapist’s expertise in the therapeutic relationship (Agah et al, 2020 , 2021 ). Furthermore, the participation and involvement of mothers and fathers in this study signals one of the study’s biggest strengths, considering that earlier studies had mostly used mothers of children with disabilities, while neglecting potential moderating roles of the other parent.…”

The high rate of negative thinking in family circles due to the presence of children with visual impairment has grossly affects the quality of family life. In the case of Nigeria, low quality of family life is prevalent among parents of children with visual loss. This study attempts to validate the efficacy of a rational emotional family health therapy in addressing family values and quality of life among parents of children with visual impairment in Enugu state Nigeria. A group randomized controlled design, participants comprised 132 parents whose children were living with visual impairment in Enugu state, Nigeria. The participants in REFHP-group were exposed to a 12-session treatment programme whereas their counterparts in the waitlisted control group did not receive this intervention. Two measures-Family Quality of Life Scale and Family Value Scale were utilized in assessing the participants at three time points. Data analyses were completed using repeated measures ANOVA. Findings revealed that rational emotive family health therapy had a significantly positive effect on increasing family values and quality of family life among the study participants of the treatment group. This study contributes to the scholarship on the efficacy of rational emotive family health therapy in improving family values and quality of family life among parents of children with visual impairment.

“…The crux of REBT is on rational and irrational beliefs (David, 2014 ). Furthermore, rational beliefs have been empirically proven to have functional consequences such as rational thoughts, adaptive behaviours, and healthy psychophysiological reactions; but the reverse is the case for irrational beliefs (Abiogu et al, 2020 , 2021 ; Agah et al, 2020 ; Iremeka et al, 2021 ; Ugwuanyi et al, 2022 ; Kahn et al, 1964 ) explain that some family or personal resources may cushion the negative effect of work-family conflict among employees. Kahn et al ( 1964 ) further stated that cultural beliefs about gender roles influence women’s behaviour, and most often correspond with societal expectations.…”

Globally, work and family conflict has been investigated by many researchers. Yet there is an increased prevalence of work-family conflict and its influence on the well-being of the female teaching population, especially Nigerian primary school teachers. This incidence has kept a good proportion of schoolteachers vulnerable to health problems as well as affected their wellbeing. This study evaluates the effect of rational emotive behaviour therapy on improving the well-being of female teachers with irrational behaviours arising from the work-family conflict. This is a randomized study. A total of 69 female primary school teachers in Enugu state Nigeria who met the criteria for inclusion were used as the study participants. Three self-report measures (Work-Family Conflict questionnaire, Multidimensional Health States Scale-Short Form, and Teacher Irrational Belief Scale) were used to collect data. Repeated measures with analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine the effects of the intervention. The findings of the study revealed that REBT had a significant effect on the well-being scores of Nigerian female primary school teachers with work-family conflict when compared to their counterparts in the no-intervention group at Time 2. In addition, the effect of REBT on improving well-being in female teachers with work-family conflict was significantly maintained at the follow-up measurements (Time 3). In conclusion, it is suggested that REBT is an effective intervention for moderating the effect of work-family conflict on the well-being of career female teachers. As such, cognitive behavioural therapists can further examine the effectiveness of REBT using other constructs and cultures.

“…Positive or rational belief promotes realistic feelings and prosocial behaviours (Ellis et al, 1997) and equally plays key roles in influencing how people act, behave and feel (Abiogu, et al 2021;Abiogu et al 2020a, b;Agah et al 2020;Bernard & Cronan, 1999;Ede et al, 2020). As part of the roles of rational-emotive approaches, parents with dysfunctional cognitive behaviours and emotions, especially those that have children with a disability, could change from their irrational thinking to better ones (e.g., Greaves, 1997;Weiss et al, 2015).…”

A good number of parents of children with Down syndrome are prone to depressive disorders. The depressive feelings are attributed to negative perceptions of the situation, self, and the future. Given this, we explored the impact of the family health model of rational-emotive behavior therapy on depressive symptoms in parents of children with intellectual disability of Down syndrome in the COVID-19 pandemic era. This is a randomized pretest-posttest control group design that recruited 88 parents of children with intellectual disability of Down syndrome. We measured the depressive symptoms in parents at Time 1, Time 2, and Time 3 using the Beck depressive inventory and Hamilton depression rating scale. We adopted a family health model rational emotive behaviour therapy intervention in treating the depressive symptoms affecting the parents. The analysis of covariate results showed that at initial assessment there was no significant difference between the treatment group and comparison group at baseline evaluation of depressive symptoms in participants. At the posttest, it had a significant effect on the intervention on participants' depressive symptoms. Likewise, a follow-up result still shows that intervention had a significant effect on participants' depressive symptoms of participants. In conclusion, this study suggests that treatment variable accounted for the effect in decreasing depressive symptoms scores of participants.
