“…Participants’ perceived agency will be assessed using the agency subscale of the State Hope Scale. 42 Participants rate the extent to which they endorse items on an 8-point Likert scale. The agency subscale consists of three items that relate to an individual’s propensity to engage in goal-directed thinking and purse-related actions.…”

BackgroundThe burden of common mental disorders in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) is growing with little known about how to allocate limited resources to reach the greatest number of people undergoing instances of significant psychological distress. We present a study protocol for a multicentre, parallel-group, superiority, randomised controlled trial.Methods and analysisAdults with significant psychological distress (K10 score ≥20) will be randomised to receive a stepped care programme involving a self-guided course (Doing What Matters) followed by a more intensive group programme (Problem Management Plus) or the self-guided course alone, both of which will take place in addition to enhanced treatment as usual comprising of a follow-up referral session to available services within the community. We will include 800 participants. An intent-to-treat and completer analysis will explore the impact of the stepped model of care on anxiety and depression symptoms (as measured by the Hopkins Symptom Checklist; HSCL-25) at 24 weeks from baseline. Secondary outcomes include positive psychological well-being, agency, changes in patient-identified problems, quality of life and cost-effectiveness. Linear mixed models will be used to assess the differential impact of the conditions over time. Analyses will focus on the primary outcome (HSCL-25) and secondary outcomes (agency subscale, WHO Well-Being Index, WHO Disability Assessment Schedule V.2.0, EQ-5D, Psychological Outcomes Profiles Scale) for both conditions, with the main outcome time point being the 3-month follow-up, relative to baseline.Ethics and disseminationThis will be the first randomised controlled trial to assess the benefits of a stepped model of care to addressing psychological distress in a LMIC setting. Results will provide important insights for managing limited resources to mental healthcare in these settings and will be accordingly disseminated to service providers and organisations via professional training and meetings, and via publication in relevant journals and conference presentations. We will also present these findings to the Jordanian Ministry of Health, where this institute will guide us on the most appropriate format for communication of findings, including written reports, verbal presentations and/or brochures. Ethical approval was obtained from the University of Jordan School of Nursing Research Ethics Committee (number: PF.22.10).Trial registration numberACTRN12621000189820p; Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry.

“…In contrast to wishful thinking, hope spurs individuals to realize the goals they have set for themselves . Hope derives from both the energy directed toward goals and the pathway for their achievement (Snyder et al, 1996). The continual interplay between determination and strategy fuels creativity and innovation, ultimately fostering greater control over one's actions.…”

This study delves into the association between Psychological Capital and Work Commitment among Generation Z workers in Vietnam. Through a survey conducted among Gen Z employees in Can Tho city, data was collected utilizing the snowball sampling method. The results uncover a significant positive correlation between Psychological Capital and Work Commitment, indicating that individuals with heightened levels of Psychological Capital tend to display stronger commitment to their work. Specifically, components of Psychological Capital such as self-confidence, hope, resilience, and optimism emerged as pivotal determinants of work commitment, impacting facets like job satisfaction, employee engagement, and work performance. These findings underscore the significance of fostering Psychological Capital among the younger workforce in Vietnam, fostering their dedication to their roles and organizations.

“…Particularly problematic are Likert-type scales with multiple anchor points (e.g., extremely unlikely, very unlikely, somewhat unlikely, unlikely). For example, The State of Hope Scale (Snyder et al, 1996) had an eight-point Likert response level (i.e., Definitely False, Mostly False, Somewhat False, Slightly False, Slightly True, Somewhat True, Mostly True, Definitely True). When administering the instrument, research staff noticed that participants had a difficult time differentiating between the levels.…”

There is a shortage of health-related questionnaires developed specifically for African countries' cultural contexts and local languages. Researchers have translated some tools to the target local languages. However, poor-quality or even high-quality translation can lead to an instrument that is not comparable with the original language if linguistic nuances, and cultural differences are not considered. This can affect the validity and reliability of the research data. The objective of this commentary was to highlight limitations of the commonly accepted forward–backward translation approach and the importance of more rigorous cultural and linguistic adaptation processes in social and behavioral research related to HIV.
