Construct validity analysis showed moderate positive correlation between the scores obtained using Sickle Cell Self-Efficacy Scale and those obtained using Mental Components Scale of SF36. There is a weak correlation between the score obtained from SCSES and that of Physical Components Scale of SF36.Conclusion: this scale can be used in the future for future studies on self-efficacy and also to find the relationship between this component and other components.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v8i4.10931

This chapter is about a multicultural GATE teacher, Jennifer Waldron, and her circuitous journey on becoming the educator that she is today. Having lived on three continents by the age of 13, she struggled with cultural identity exacerbated by the inevitable awkwardness that accompanies key developmental junctures. Central to this piece are acculturation, assimilation, self-determination and self-efficacy, and learning to manage the awareness of belonging nowhere, yet everywhere at once. This is an educational journey of finding, appreciating, and using one's strengths and growth mindset in the pursuit of re-educating oneself to become a more empowered person and educator. This chapter underscores the relevance of cultural competency and the need for tolerance of difference at all levels of education. Jennifer Waldron embraces research based and innovative approaches to thinking and learning. She strives to break down barriers through design and creative thinking so as to find relevant connections between seemingly disparate subjects.

The Relationship

Background and Objectives. The career decision-making self-efficacy (CDSE) in medical, pharmacy, and dental students is more important than other disciplines due to professional sensitivity, direct involvement in decision-making for the treatment process, and the significant clinical involvement. It is also expected that learning styles can have a significant impact on the academic success, and the CDSE also affects the quality of clinical care. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the learning styles and the career decision-making self-efficacy among medicine and dentistry students. Materials and Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 235 medical interns and fifth- and sixth-year dental students of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, Iran. The data were collected using Kolb Learning Style Inventory and Betz and Luzzo career decision-making self-efficacy questionnaire. Statistical tests such as Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Spearman correlation coefficient, Chi-square, one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Results. The mean age of participants was 25.9 ± 1.30; a majority of them were dental students (134 persons, 59.3%), and 92 were medical students (40.7%). The predominant learning styles in dental and medical students were assimilating (40.3%) and converging (47.8%), respectively. There was no significant relationship between students’ learning styles and career decision-making self-efficacy and none of its subscales ( P > 0.05 ). The Chi-square test results showed that a significant difference was observed between the field of study and learning styles of the participants ( P = 0.024 ). Conclusion. This study showed that there was no significant relationship between learning style and career decision-making self-efficacy of the participants.

The Health Belief Model

Background and Objectives: A new generation of corona virus in the areas of China, Wuhan City has been expanded and has caused many deaths. The virus is highly contagious and spreads rapidly. So far, thousands of people have been infected with the virus. The aim of this study was to investigate the status of preventive behaviors of corona virus among household health ambassadors of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences using the health belief model. Subjects and Methods This study is a cross-sectional study of analytical type that was conducted on 1020 household health ambassadors of the cities covered by Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences in the fall of 1399. Samples were taken using available sampling and by sending an online questionnaire link to the participants. The questionnaire was completed online. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, whose validity and reliability were determined. For data analysis, Spss software, descriptive and analytical statistics were used. Results The mean age of study participants was 31.12±7.66 years. The scores of perceived benefit were 18.81±1.80 and self-efficacy 31.76±3.71, which was higher than other structures. Correlation coefficient test showed a significant correlation between corona virus preventive behaviors and all model constructs. In regression analysis, it was found that model constructs predicted 23.7% (R2=0.237) of behavior changes. Conclusion The results confirm the predictive role of perceived benefits, barriers and perceived self-efficacy concepts in corona virus disease prevention behaviors based on the Health Belief Model. Therefore, methods of promoting these constructs, such as verbal persuasion, raising awareness of the benefits, barriers and abilities of individuals through virtual media and providing appropriate models for them, can be used as factors to improve preventive behaviors of corona virus.
