Abstract:

Healthcare personnel are at the front line fighting COVID, under tremendous pressure and sustain severe mental stress, leading to burn out and mental health crisis, contributing to healthcare system meltdown. This presentation describes two peer support projects developed and carried out by a group of experienced mental health professionals, to address this mental health crisis by providing psychological support via different approaches. The first project was to offer peer psychological support via a novel method of popular social media from overseas to healthcare professionals on the frontline of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China. The second project is providing even larger scale but more a traditional method of US national hotline dedicated to front line physicians. Both models for intervention can be used elsewhere in the face of current global pandemic, or future disaster response, to improve healthcare personnel mental health during stressful environment, hence to contribute to the sustainability of public health.

Abstract:

Emotional competencies can be defined as combination of skills and abilities that individual puts to use to perceive accurately, appraise, and express, regulate and understand emotions. It shows the individual’s ability to demonstrate emotionally intelligent behavior. The emotional intelligence is the behavior that requires emotional and behavioral control in social situations (Kanfer &Kantrowitz,2002). The work of Boyatzis, Goleman, and Rhee (1999), designed a framework for the clustering of emotional competencies. According to Wolff (2005), the competencies can be assessed by an instrument based on this framework, the Emotional and Social Competencies Inventory (ESCI).

Emotional intelligence competencies allow people to gain insight into their emotional state, regulate their moods effectively, and build their emotional resources, help people to relate confidently and empathically to others, (Salovey et al. 2002; Frederickson 2001). Strong positive relationships have been found between emotional intelligence and several positive outcomes such as physical and psychological health and life satisfaction (Salovey et al. 2002; Carmeli and Josman 2006; Mikolajczak et al. 2006). The important role is played by emotional intelligence in enhancing the resilience and psychological wellbeing (Kinman and Grant 2011).

Self-efficacy is a perceived belief concerning the level of competence that a person expects he or she will display in a given situation (Bandura, 1997).  Self-efficacy has a significant influence on human achievement in a wide variety of settings, including education, health, sports, and work (Bandura, 1997). Self-efficacy strongly influences the choices people make, the effort they expend and their perseverance in the face of challenge (Bandura,1986), Self-efficacy beliefs influence task choice, effort, persistence, resilience and achievement (Britner & Pajares, 2006).

Adolescence, a period of physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional transition, is a crucial age for development. The child once entering in this phase requires intensive readjustment to school, social, and family life. Social and emotional learning, which involves enhancing social and emotional competencies of students in schools, has been found to be an appropriate way of dealing with such mental health issues. Self-efficacy is seen as an essential element that contributes to an adolescent’s well-being. This is supported by Meyer and Kim (2000) which stated self-efficacy is a psychological mediator of health and academic accomplishment of the adolescents.

Resilience is a complex and multi- faceted construct (Grant and Kinman 2013). The term resilience reflects ‘emotional stamina’ (Wagnild and Young,1990.) The ability to “recover” from adversity, react appropriately, or “bounce back” when life gets tough. Resilience is not an innate or fixed characteristic but can be developed through carefully targeted interventions (McAllister and McKinnon 2008; McDonald et al. 2010: Beddoe et al. 2013). 

Limited research has been done to study the association between emotional competencies, self efficacy, and resilience of adolescent students.

Abstract:

This research aimed to understand the life experiences of teenage mothers and assess the impact of such experiences on their sexual lives. This survey was created keeping in mind confidentiality about the participants and the information provided by the Drop-in—Centre of Mauritius Family Planning & Welfare Association. A total of 40 participants were used for this survey where 6 cases of teenage mothers (case studies), 24 face-to-face interviews and 10 telephone interviews were analyzed. The result of this survey was that teenage pregnancy is a major concern that has a very deep impact not only on the life of the teens but on their environment as well be it family, education, society as well as the economy of the country. It was also found that most of the partners of the teen disappeared from the lives of the teens. Stopping the stigmatization and reintegrating them in the society is the major key to help the teenage mothers. Statistics show the rising figures of teen mothers. The result shows the growing need for further research as well as sensitization of all citizens of Mauritius about teenage mothers as it is not the concern of only a particular group of people but of all of them. Educating adults, youths, elders and children on the importance of using contraception and not engaging in early sexual acts, are the very concerned topics that young people need to be informed and educated about. The importance of family, counselling on regular basis depending on the need of the teen mothers should always be priority for their well-being and that of their child.
