Objective. This study aimed to explore the association between DM knowledge and self-efficacy in Chinese patients with T2DM. The influence factors for DM knowledge were explored, and evidence on interventions was provided to patients for information. Design. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in various hospitals in Hunan Province, China, from April 2017 to February 2019, by using multistage stratified randomized sampling. DM knowledge and self-efficacy were measured using the Audit of Diabetes Knowledge (ADKnowl) and the General Self-efficacy (GSE) Scale. The relationship between the ADKnowl and the GSE scores was analyzed using the Spearman correlation analysis. Differences in the ADKnowl and GES scores among groups with different sociodemographic characteristics were computed; significant variables and GES scores were input in the multiple stepwise linear regression model to predict the influencing factors of ADKnowl scores. Results. A total of 1,512 eligible patients with T2DM were included in this study, and their mean ADKnowl score was 59.04 ± 16.24. The top score of the eight dimensions in the ADKnowl scale was reducing the complication risk by 71.01%. The mean GSE score was 2.42 ± 0.59. The Spearman correlation analysis showed that the GSE score displayed a significantly positive correlation with DM knowledge at the ADKnowl scale (r = 0.172, P<0.001). The best fit multivariable linear regression analysis revealed eight variables that explained 37.6% of the variance of ADKnowl scores. They were diabetes-learning experience, educational background, complication, therapy, waist-to-hip ratio, diabetes duration, marital status, and GSE (R2 = 0.376, F = 5.971, P=0.015). Conclusions. In Chinese patients with T2DM, the self-efficacy in managing DM positively influenced DM knowledge. DM knowledge, as a protective factor, conversely improved the efficiency of self-management for T2DM. Some ignored influence factors in previous studies can be showed by investigating and analyzing from two scales. Health educators and promoters should help in developing DM knowledge and self-efficacy.

CLIL approach refers to Content and Language Integrated Learning. This paper discusses the self-efficacy of Malaysian Gifted Students (MGS) at GENIUS@Pintar Negara in understanding Arabic tasks in the classroom, for example, understanding the Arabic terms in the lesson of Haji. These terms are; a) dam tertib and takdir, b) dam tertib and ta’dil, c) dam takhyir and takdir, d) dam takhyir and ta’dil. Besides, by employing the CLIL, the MGS can improve themselves because the CLIL approach encourages their self-efficacy to completely deal with the language task. The present study employs; qualitative study by using an interview, verbal report, and observation. This method is an instrument to answer two research questions. a) How the individual of MGS adapts his/ her situation to understand the four Arabic terms of the dam in Haji after undergo the three principles stages of classroom task in CLIL? b) What is the best method to memorize the four Arabic terms of the dam in Haji? In this study, three participants took part in the pilot study, and seven participants took part in the actual study. The present study revealed that the MGS in the Pusat GENIUS@Pintar Negara prefer to be independent learners by using the internet to understand the four Arabic terms and memorize by using keywords related to the four Arabic terms in performing Haji.

Heart disease is the top cause of death worldwide. Self-efficacy is one of the fundamental factors contributing to self-management programs among patients with heart disease. Cardiac patients with good self-efficacy will participate in disease management, improve health status, better self-care behavior, and a higher level of quality of life. Factors affecting self-efficacy need to be identified for stratified plan intervention strategies; therefore, the goal will achieve significantly. The Purpose of this study to identify factors that influence self-efficacy in patients with heart disease. Literature research from 2013-2019, obtained from the five largest databases consist of Pubmed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Medline and PsycINFO by using keywords "Self Efficacy," "Cardiovascular Disease," "Heart Disease," and "Self Efficacy and Cardiovascular Disease "and Self Efficacy and Heart Disease". Five articles were further analyzed, and ten factors affecting self-efficacy are: 1) Age, 2) Income, 3) Social-economy, 4) Body mass index, 5) Experience on health education, 6) Risk factors awareness, 7) Social support,  8) Depressive symptoms, 9) Adherence and 10) Physical activity. The influence factors of self-efficacy, including demographic characteristics, clinical status, health education, awareness of risk factors, and psychosocial.

Abstract.The aim of this study is to describe the profile of the motivation to learn in students of Elementary and Secondary Education diagnosed as gifted, and to compare it with the profile of students of normal capacity. Despite that gifted students are considered the most skilled for study and homework, they suffer a high rate of low achievement in school. To explore a possible intervention, motivational variables have been chosen to study, as they are widely related to school success in the literature, and have been shown subject to change with proper interventions. This has been studied in a sample of 36 students (18 diagnosed as gifted and 18 of normal capacity) both Elementary Education and Secondary Education, analyzing their motivation through motivational part of the Learning Strategies Questionnaire and Motivation (CEAM) Ayala, Martinez and Yuste (2004), the 60 items measure the Value of learning, Intrinsic Motivation, Teamwork value, External Motivation, the feeling of Self-efficacy and an Internal Attribution of success. The questionnaire was collectively applied to all students in the classroom, then they were selected those diagnosed as gifted, and 18 pairs of the same characteristics with normal capacity to form the comparison group. Results appear consistent with previous scientific research. Gifted students, as a group, gave greater value to learning and had greater feeling of self-efficacy in the school environment that students of normal capacity, there are no major differences between the two groups of students about other motivational determinants.Key words: Gifted, Talented, motivation, motivational profile, low achievementResumen.El objetivo del presente estudio es describir el perfil de la motivación hacia el aprendizaje en alumnado de Educación Primaria y Secundaria con diagnóstico de alta capacidad, y comparar el mismo con el perfil del alumnado de capacidad normal. A pesar de que los alumnos de alta capacidad se consideran los más hábiles para el estudio y las tareas escolares, sufren una alta tasa de fracaso escolar. A la hora de explorar una posible intervención se ha optado por estudiar las variables motivacionales, ya que están ampliamente relacionadas en la literatura con el éxito escolar, y se han mostrado susceptibles de modificación con la intervención adecuada. Para ello se ha estudiado una muestra de 36 alumnos (18 diagnosticados de alta capacidad y 18 de capacidad normal) tanto de Educación Primaria como de Educación Secundaria, analizando la motivación de los mismos a través de la parte motivacional del Cuestionario de Estrategias de Aprendizaje y Motivación (CEAM) de Ayala, Martínez y Yuste (2004), cuyos 60 ítems miden la Valoración del estudio, la Motivación Intrínseca, la valoración del Aprendizaje en Grupo, la Necesidad de reconocimiento, el sentimiento de Autoeficacia y la Atribución interna del éxito. El cuestionario se ha aplicado de forma colectiva a todos los alumnos del aula, seleccionando después aquellos diagnosticados de alta capacidad, y 18 pares de las mismas características con capacidad normal que forman el grupo de comparación del estudio, Los resultados parecen consistentes con investigaciones científicas anteriores en las que los alumnos con alta capacidad como grupo dan mayor valor al aprendizaje y poseen mayor sentimiento de autoeficacia en el entorno escolar que el alumnado de capacidad normal, no existiendo diferencias mayores entre los dos grupos de alumnado en el resto de determinantes motivacionales.Palabras Clave: Alta Capacidad, superdotación, motivación, perfil motivacional, fracaso escolar.
