The current research study explored the experiences of collaboration between K–12 school counselors and clinical mental health counselors (CMHCs). Through transcendental phenomenology, we examined the perspectives of 10 practicing school counselors who have collaborated with CMHCs. We identified seven main themes that highlighted the essence of these experiences: (a) key factors for effective collaboration, (b) “no ego on the table,” (c) benefits of collaboration, (d) roadblocks to collaboration, (e) eliminating roadblocks to collaboration, (f) preservice training, and (g) forging forward in practice. Implications and recommendations from this study inform practicing counselors and counselor education programs about these collaboration experiences and the need for collaboration to support the academic and social/emotional success of K–12 students.

Attitudes And Behavior

Introduction: The knowledge and attitude prevailing during internship of medical education are likely to influence whole career. Psychiatry is seen differently, at times unrealistically. Such views might have adverse consequences. The objective of this study was to assess knowledge and views of intern MBBS doctors of B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Nepal about ‘Psychiatry and mental health’. Material and Method: A cross-sectional semi-qualitative survey was done by explaining about the study, distributing a questionnaire and analysing collected samples of the interns. Results: Within study period, 50 respondents participated. Twenty percent respondents were female. One-third subjects were from Kathmandu valley, followed by other cities of Nepal and India. Two-thirds opted psychiatry posting, half to learn about it. About 25% considered psychiatry for career. Majority viewed psychiatry should integrate with other departments. Only few meant mental illness to be unremitting and chronic only, and considered mental patients dangerous and aggressive. More believed that majority of patients understand others’ feelings, attitudes and behavior; and can be productive if treated appropriately. A great majority felt that the management should be multi-sectorial and multi-dimensional. They expressed dissatisfaction about current position of mental health on national health-policy and advised public awareness as the most important step to change the situation. Conclusion: Intern-doctors of a tertiary-care teaching hospital with psychiatry teaching, in overall, have favorable attitude towards psychiatry and mental health.

The Impact

This study explored awareness, attitudes, and behavior in relation to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) prevention among Taiwanese citizens and their physical and mental health statuses. Through collection of 2132 questionnaire responses in field research, the present researchers analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and various approaches. In conclusion, the public’s high level of willingness to share information, sufficient knowledge of and consensus on epidemic prevention between individuals and families, strict compliance with relevant regulations, effective preventive measures, and adequate public facilities have contributed to control of COVID-19. However, vigilance and awareness of the pandemic in some individuals, epidemic-prevention campaigns, and community-based preventive measures were insufficient. Some citizens subsequently suffered from headaches, anxiety, and mood instability. Furthermore, demographic variables (place of residence, sex, age, and occupation) and physical and mental health status produced various effects on citizens’ awareness, attitude, and behavior regarding epidemic prevention as well as the perceived effect of COVID-19 on physical and mental health.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the mental Health and Psychosocial status, thoughts about the measures taken by the government, attitudes, and behaviors of HCWs facing the Covid-19 pandemic.Methods: A 56-question multiple-choice survey was performed by a one-to-one interview with the HCWs in 3 registered hospitals fighting the Covid-19 pandemic from 20 May to 10 June 2020. Mental health variables were assessed via the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) and the Turkish Beck Depression Scale to specify psychological manifestations. A scoring system was applied using a four-point Likert scale, from no points (“strongly disagree”) to three points (“strongly agree”) to determine the levels of anxiety and depression.Results: A total of 300 HCWs (45 physicians, 255 non-physician health care workers) enrolled in the survey. Only 0.8% of HCWs took psychological support from a therapist or psychiatrist. The most common concern about Covid-19 pandemic was that “the elderly and other risky population was being infected” (37.9%). 89.2% HCWs who felt the concern was that they had changed their thoughts with the information they got from television (P= 0.005, χ2= 20.271). Compared with non-physician HCWs, the physicians about the spreading of the Covid- 19 felt more the concern (%80 vs %47.1, p= 0.006 χ2=12.591) and physicians higher rate agreed that the number of tests being performed was sufficient enough. (53.3% vs. 41.2%, p=0.030, OR:0.29-0.35, χ2: 7.047), For all HCWs, the "feeling of being infected with Covid-19” item had the highest mean total score (2.60 ± 0.97). The mean score of “feeling nervous/anxious/on edge” item was 2.53±0.52 for physicians, and 2.26±0.86 for non-physician HCWs. Non-physicians HCWs had a higher mean score for “Feeling of increased body pain and agony” item than physicians (0.27±0.80 vs 0.76±1.23; mean dif= -0.50, 95% confidence interval=-1.002 to 0.006, p<0.05).Conclusions:The results of this survey study showed that the highest anxiety score for all healthcare professionals was the “feeling of being infected with covid-19”. Both physicians and non-physicians HCWs were feeling nervous/anxious/on edge largely according to anxiety scores.

This research applies the binding communication model to the sustainable communication strategies implemented in most hotels. The binding communication model links a persuasive message with the implementation of a low-cost commitment to strengthen the link between the attitudes and behavior of those receiving the message. We compared the effectiveness of a classical communication strategy (n = 86) with that of a binding communication strategy (n = 101) to encourage guests to choose sustainable behavior. Our results show that using the binding communication strategy generates significantly more sustainable behavior in guests than using the classical communication strategy. We discuss our results and suggest future avenues of research.
