Studies support the idea that people diagnosed with social anxiety disorder score significantly lower on self-acceptance than healthy controls, and that self-compassion is inversely related to anxiety. Motivational interviewing has been shown to improve treatment outcomes as well as predict higher self-compassion and reduced resistance among participants.It also has the ability to increase the effectiveness of motivational interviewing as an intervention with perpetrators of intimate partner violence, promoting readiness for change and progression through stages of change. In this context, this study aims to examine the effect of motivational interviewing on social anxiety level, dating violence and self-compassion in nursing students with social anxiety.
This study aims to assess the effect of mobile health (mHealth) support or financial incentives and their interactive intervention effect on smoking cessation (SC) in old smokers in Hong Kong (HK).
The goal of this pilot study is to examine the effectiveness of the STMI in promoting abstinence in unmotivated smokers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI exhibit higher abstinence rate than those in the control group? - Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI show higher intention to quit than those in the control group? - Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI show higher smoking reduction rates than those in the control group? - Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI show lower level of depressive symptoms than those in the control group? - Do unmotivated smokers treated with STMI show higher adherence than those in the control group? - Does STMI show higher consent rates than those the control? - How does STMI affect the smoking behaviors in unmotivated smokers? Participants will be randomized to (1) STMI or (2) control group for smoking cessation services via telephone, and then be invited to join a semi-structured interview.
Exercise is routinely recommended because of its benefits for physical, cognitive, and mental health. It is especially beneficial for older adults due to its potential buffering effects against Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (Luck et al., 2014). However, little is known about how to best encourage older adults to exercise. Based on behavior change theory, different intrapersonal and interpersonal motivational factors are likely to be relevant during the contemplation, action, and maintenance stages of behavior change. Generally, as a result of motivational shifts toward prioritizing positivity and socially meaningful goals with advancing age (Carstensen, 2006), socioemotional aspects of decision making may become more salient and influential for older adults (Mikels et al., 2015; Peter et al., 2011). Our previous work has demonstrated that positive affect (Mikels et al., 2020) and social goals (Steltenpohl et al., 2019) play a critical role in older adults' motivation to exercise, but these two lines of research have not been integrated to date. Recent work indicates that positive affect is particularly beneficial for health when shared in social connections (Fredrickson, 2016; Major et al., 2018), and the proposed work will, for the first time, examine how shared interpersonal positivity may impact exercise decision making and behavior, especially during the contemplation and action/maintenance stages of behavior change. But who are the older adults that benefit the most from exercise in terms of physical, cognitive, and mental health (and should be hence be targeted with messages)? Not all older adults reap the benefits of exercise (Sparks, 2014) and, conversely, sedentary older adults have the most to gain. Overall, the current proposed research program is innovative in its (a) translational application of insights from affective, cognitive, and aging theory and research to understand the antecedents and outcomes of exercise decision making in younger and older adults, (b) conceptualization of both the social and emotional aspects of decision making, (c) development of novel methods for health messaging that incorporate social influences, and (d) novel assessments of the exercise-health link.
Motivational interviewing is an essential practical skill to promote medication adherence; however, it is rarely emphasised in nursing education. Purposes: 1. To develop a self-regulated digital learning system for motivational interviewing; 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of digital learning of motivational interviewing on mental health nurses' knowledge, skills and self-efficacy; 3. To compare the effectiveness of self-regulated digital learning, blended learning and treatment as usual learning.

Vaccine hesitancy is defined by World Health Organization(WHO) "Vaccine Hesitancy Working Group" as a delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite availability of vaccination services(MacDonald,2015). WHO listed "vaccine hesitancy" as one of the ten global health threats that require immediate solution in 2019(WHO, 2019). It was found out that the primary causes of vaccine hesitancy are the risk-benefit ratio concerns, including "concerns about the safety of vaccines" or "their potential side-effects", and secondary causes are the lack of information and awareness about vaccines and their importance and religious, cultural, social gender and socioeconomic perceptions of vaccination(Lark et al., 2018).It is estimated in social studies that the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy is about 25-70% in the top-ranking France, 15% in Switzerland and 19% in Canada(Ward et al.,2019; Shen and Dubey,2019). In the case of pregnant women, on the other hand, childhood vaccine hesitancy has been detected to vary between 6% and 12%(Mohd et al.,2017; Corben and Leask,2018). There is a critical increase in the number of unvaccinated children in Turkey(Turkish Medical Association, 2018).Based on the data from Ministry of Health, number of families that refused to get their children vaccinated rose from 183 in 2011 to 12000 in 2016, and to 23600 in 2017(Turkish Medical Association, 2018). Motivation is the probability of the individual to adopt, continue and adhere to the special strategies of change.MI is a directive and counselee-oriented approach, which is employed to help the patients explore and overcome the ambivalence/dilemma in adopting the behaviors that will enhance and improve their overall health. Studies conducted in recent years have found out that motivational interviewing technique is actually effective in parents' acceptance of childhood vaccines. The main purpose of the MI technique is to explore the ambivalences of the target individuals and attain behavioral change by helping them overcome such ambivalences. This method is particularly useful with parents that are hesitant or ambivalent to get their children vaccinated, or those that fail to get them vaccinated. In MI, which focuses on the parents' concerns, questions and curiosities about the vaccines, the behavioral change takes place depending on the personal values of each individual. MI is a special means of aid to help individuals understand their problems and encourage them to take action(Danchin et al.,2017). In order to enhance vaccination services, studies must be conducted on the issue of vaccine opposition and hesitancy of families, and underlying reasons must be revealed(Topçu et al.,2019; Akbaş,2020). Due to the fact that pregnancy and antenatal periods are the time spans when the first perspectives and beliefs about childhood vaccination are formed, these periods are particularly important for providing information pediatric vaccines. Determining the prevalence of vaccine opposition within the society, and monitoring it in upcoming years, as well as making programs on inspection and education, are assumed to be crucial in the struggle with vaccine hesitancy. This study is particularly important as it will help eradicate vaccine hesitancy through using Motivational Interviewing (MI) method and revealing the ambivalent emotions about vaccine hesitancy in pregnant women.
The research will be carried out on students studying at public secondary schools in the city center of Amasya. First of all, the digital game addiction levels of secondary school students who are randomly divided into experimental and control groups will be determined, and then students with digital game addiction will be included in the individual motivational interview program, which will last 6 sessions. In the last stage of the research, hippotherapy will be applied to the students 1 day a week for 8 weeks. The effect of motivational interviewing and hippoterain on digital game addiction will be investigated by pre-testing at the beginning of the research and post-testing at the end.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, several authors (Lee, 2020; Sahu, 2020; Zhai & Du, 2020) have highlighted the various challenges faced by university students, as well as their negative effects on their mental health. A deterioration in their mental health was observed, particularly during lockdown, with very high levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms (Essadek & Rabeyron, 2020; Husky et al., 2020; Le Vigouroux et al., 2021; Odriozola-González et al., 2020). In addition, COVID-19 has brought about a digital revolution in higher education (Strielkowski, 2020). However, distance learning was not without consequences on student stress (IAU, 2020). The detrimental effects of distance education, in terms of stress and anxiety, could also have important consequences for students' learning and academic success. Our research proposes to evaluate effects of an intervention focused on stress and learning on mental health and learning strategies. This intervention will be proposed to students from University of Nimes. Its primary objective is to prevent psychological health alterations and to improve students' learning strategies. Three groups will be constituted: a group that will participate in an online program (online group), a group will participate in a hybrid program, i.e. with online content and face-to-face support (hybrid group) and a group that will not be receiving any interventions (control group). The investigators plan to include between 150 and 200 university students, between 40 and 70 in each group. The levels of mental health and learning strategies of the two experimental group (online and hybrid group) will be compared to a control group with the realization of pre and post intervention measures. Sociodemographic (e.g., level education) and situational variables (e.g., diagnostic of COVID-19) will be considered in the analyses.
