“…Our findings indicated that nomophobic students experience sleep problems. This is consistent with another recent study evaluating the occupational performance difficulties of university students, in which sleep was the most problematic occupation (Keptner and Rogers, 2019). Therefore, occupational therapists who work with individuals that have sleep problems should keep nomophobia level in mind as a confounding factor.…”

Introduction Nomophobia is a contemporary phobia that emerged in the digital age and is becoming increasingly common. University students are at higher risk for nomophobia. This study aims to develop an understanding of nomophobic university students’ problem areas in their daily occupations. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted with 181 university students between January and March 2020. The Nomophobia Questionnaire was used to determine the students’ level of nomophobia and they were separated into groups based on nomophobia severity. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was used to determine the students’ occupational performance and satisfaction in the occupations they identified as being most problematic for them. Canadian Occupational Performance Measure scores were compared between nomophobia severity groups. Results All students in the study had some degree of nomophobia (mild = 56, moderate = 95, severe = 30). Canadian Occupational Performance Measure performance and satisfaction scores were significantly lower in students with severe nomophobia compared to the mild/moderately nomophobic students ( p<.05). The occupations of greatest concern were in the areas of productivity (studying, 20.89%), self-care (sleeping, 9.87%), and leisure (doing sport, 8.23%). Conclusion This study demonstrated a relationship between nomophobia and occupational performance difficulties in university students. Occupational therapists should consider nomophobia when evaluating occupational performance difficulties in university students.

“…Surprisingly, however, the non-PMDD group also reported problems related to relaxation and enjoyment. Consistent with our findings, a study evaluating occupational competence and satisfaction among university students showed that social participation was their greatest concern (Keptner and Rogers, 2019). These results showed that independent from PMDD symptoms, university students may experience relaxation and enjoyment problems.…”

“…Occupational competence includes participating in a variety of occupations to meet the standards expected of one's valued roles in order to sustain a pattern of occupational behavior that is meaningful and satisfying (Taylor, 2017). A study by Keptner and Rogers (2019) evaluating occupational competence and satisfaction among university students showed that social, academic, and work-related occupations were the most frequently reported occupations of concern and that time management was the students' most common personal concern.…”

Introduction Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is defined as a mental health issue and is assessed using DSM-V diagnostic criteria. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder comprises emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms that occur in the premenstrual phase and resolve shortly after the start of menstruation. These symptoms and functional impairment may negatively affect occupational competence and value. This study investigated perceived occupational competence and value in university students with premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed at a public university with 35 students with PMDD and 35 age-matched students without PMDD. Occupational competence and value were evaluated using the Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA). Results There was a significant difference between the groups in OSA competence score ( p < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in OSA value score ( p > 0.05). Conclusion This study demonstrated that university students with PMDD experience more occupational competence challenges than peers without PMDD. Further studies should be performed to determine the role of occupational therapy in the rehabilitation of PMDD.

“…It is important for university students to feel competent in their chosen vocation, as this buffers against negative affect (Keptner & Rogers, 2019), such as stress levels (Partido & Owen, 2020), which can in turn impact academic performance (Larson et al., 2016). PSC has also been linked to increased MIL (Demirbaş‐Çelik & Keklik, 2019).…”

Both meaning in life (MIL) and perceived self‐competence (PSC) have been linked to a sense of calling, and better well‐being. To the authors' knowledge, no study has examined MIL or PSC in counselling students. Current counselling students (N = 292) were asked whether studying counselling brought them MIL, and completed the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, and an adapted Perceived Competence Scale for Counselling Students (PCS‐CS). Results showed that students with a higher sense of MIL had a higher level of PSC. Over 95% of participants found meaning in their study of counselling, implying that many found it to be a calling. The PCS‐CS was found to be reliable, and implications include its potential usefulness in future research on PSC in counselling populations. With MIL and PSC being linked to better workplace well‐being, this study implies that trainee counsellors have high levels of these protective factors, with further research warranted to establish whether this is also the case for counselling professionals.
