“…There was a statistically significant relationship between self-efficacy and general health, which is in line with the results of a number of studies on the relationship between self-efficacy and general health [31,35–39]. This current study showed that general health and burnout levels are significant predictors in the explanation of self-efficacy levels.…”

“…This finding may be related to identical and repeated tasks, and the lack of innovations in the working environment. Moghaddam and Poorahmad [29] reported that there was no relationship between gender and self-efficacy, which were in line with the findings of this current study, but it is inconsistent with the results of Aliyev and Tunc [12], Mehdizadeh et al [30], and Chamanabad et al [31]. This may be attributable to the uniformity of the work environment for male and females.…”

“…The relationship between general health and marital status was not statistically significant, which was inconsistent with the findings of Solhi et al [36], but is consistent with other studies [40,41]. A statistically significant relationship was observed between general health and gender, which was consistent with some studies [31,42]. It is thought that women are more subject to stress and psychological distress because the majority of women in Iran are bound to their social roles as housewives; even when women have salaried work outside the home.…”

ObjectivesTo evaluate the relationship between self-efficacy, general health and burnout of the staff at Shahroud University of Medical Sciences.MethodsIn 2015, 249 staff at Shahroud University of Medical Sciences (from a total reference population of 520 staff members) were selected through stratified random sampling. To collect the data, Sherer self-efficacy Scale, General Health Questionnaire and Maslach Burnout Inventory were used. The collected data were analyzed through ANOVA, Pearson correlation and Chi-square tests using SPSS 16. The relationship between self-efficacy, general health and burnout (latent factors) were studied using structural equation modeling with Stata 14.ResultsThe mean age of participants was 36.97 ± 7.60 years, and the mean number of years work experience was 12.29 ± 7.57. The mean scores of general health, self-efficacy and burnout were 28.24 ± 11.14, 62.30 ± 9.21 and 81.67 ± 22.18, respectively. The results of the study showed a statistically significant relationship between self-efficacy and general health which equals −0.32. A statistically significant relationship also existed between burnout scores and general health scores (beta = 0.78).ConclusionThe results showed that high self-efficacy improves the general health of employees at the Shahroud University of Medical Sciences and reduces burnout. Special attention should be paid to self-efficacy in the prevention of burnout.

“… 34 Emotional self-efficacy belief may improve individual subjective happiness, interpersonal relationships, and ability to build up a positive attitude toward diseases. 35 Participants can cherish feelings of concern and love from others through communicating and propagating health education. The results support the hypothesis that meditative movement appeared to be more beneficial than pulmonary rehabilitation incorporating the popular breathing and walking exercises in patients with COPD.…”

BackgroundThe effectiveness of meditative movement (tai chi, yoga, and qigong) on COPD remained unclear. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effectiveness of meditative movement on COPD patients.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Center Register of Controlled Trials for relevant studies. The methods of standard meta-analysis were utilized for identifying relevant researches (until August 2017), quality appraisal, and synthesis. The primary outcomes were the 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), lung function, and dyspnea levels.ResultsSixteen studies involving 1,176 COPD patients were included. When comparing with the control group, the 6MWD was significantly enhanced in the treatment group (3 months: mean difference [MD]=25.40 m, 95% CI: 16.25 to 34.54; 6 months: MD=35.75 m, 95% CI: 22.23 to 49.27), as well as functions on forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) (3 months: MD=0.1L, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.18; 6 months: MD=0.18L, 95% CI: 0.1 to 0.26), and FEV1 % predicted (3 months: 4L, 95% CI: 2.7 to 5.31; 6 months: MD=4.8L, 95% CI: 2.56 to 7.07). Quality of life for the group doing meditative movement was better than the control group based on the Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire dyspnea score (MD=0.9 units, 95% CI: 0.51 to 1.29) and fatigue score (MD=0.75 units, 95% CI: 0.42 to 1.09) and the total score (MD=1.92 units, 95% CI: 0.54 to 3.31).ConclusionMeditative movement may have the potential to enhance lung function and physical activity in COPD patients. More large-scale, well-designed, multicenter, randomized controlled trials should be launched to evaluate the long-range effects of meditative movement.

“…The two continua model has gained support for its differentiation between mental health and mental illness (Eklund et al, 2010; Góngora & Solano, 2017; Keyes, 2002, 2005; Payton, 2009; Westerhof & Keyes, 2010). Mental illness has been found to be related to the constructs of locus of control (LOC) (Roddenberry & Renk, 2010) and generalised self-efficacy (GSE) (Chamanabad et al, 2011). However, most previous research investigating these constructs did not utilise a multidimensional operationalisation of mental health, or generated conflicting results.…”

Flourishing or Languishing? The Relationship Between Mental Health, Health Locus of Control and Generalised Self-Efficacy

Mental health is a core component of overall wellbeing and can contribute to positive functioning and purpose in life. Mental health is purportedly related to the constructs of generalised self-efficacy (GSE) and health locus of control (LOC). Most research, however, has explored GSE and LOC and their relationship with psychopathology, or defined mental health as a lack of psychopathology indicators. This contradicts the two continua model of mental health, as it does not incorporate positive mental functioning. The current study sought to re-examine the relationship between health LOC, GSE, and mental health, whilst controlling for potential confounding factors. It was anticipated that health LOC and GSE would predict mental health. A sample of 224 adults completed an online survey comprised of validated psychometric tools scales. Regression analyses were conducted to determine whether health LOC and GSE predicted mental health, after controlling for self-esteem, social support, and coping. Results indicated that GSE was a significant unique positive predictor of mental health. Health locus of control was not a significant predictor of mental health. Limitations were present, including a cross-sectional research design and use of convenience sampling. This study builds upon existing research in providing a better understanding of contributors to mental health, which may assist in the development of evidence-based mental health promotion interventions.
