“…In line with our finding, previous studies showed that rational emotive approach is psychotherapeutically helpful for cushioning cognitive and behavioral changes. [27,29] It was also confirmed an earlier study that REBC program gives organizational employees helpful ways of compacting occupational stress. [26,34] It also gave credence to successfully applied REBT studies [35] who showed that stress in work environment could be managed using basic principles in REBT.…”

“…[28] Like REBT approaches, rational emotive behavior coaching (REBC) has been confirmed to be effective in improving Nigerian workers’ general wellbeing, job relationship, healthy rational beliefs, and reduces work-related stress using the basic practice of REBT. [29] Given the above concerns, we investigated the effectiveness of REOHC for improving work-stress management among Staff of Nigeria Police Force in southeast Nigeria. We, therefore, hypothesized that REOHC will be significantly improved stress management over time among Staff of Nigeria Police Force in Nigeria when compared to the intervention group and no intervention group.…”

Background:Empirical studies indicated that job-related stress is threatening the well-being of Nigerian public workers. The objective of this investigation was to examine the impact of REOHC for improving work-stress management among Staff of Nigeria Police Force in southeast Nigeria.Method:This is a pretest-posttest control group design study with follow-up. A total of 63 Nigerian police officers (randomized into one of 2 groups: n = 32 for treatment group, n = 31 for waitlist control group) completed the study. Two self-report questionnaire measuring organizational and operational stressors associated with police general well-being were used as outcome measures. The intervention group received a 12-week REBC manual intervention. The intervention and waitlisted groups were evaluated at 3-time points: Time1, Time2, and Time3. Statistical analyses were achieved using repeated-measures ANOVA.Results:Results showed that there was no significant difference between the REOHC group and waiting-list control group in initial work-related stress management among staff of Nigerian Police Force. REOHC program had a significant effect on work-related stress management among staff of Nigerian Police Force when compared to their counterparts in the waiting-list control group.Conclusion:Therefore, REOHC program is a time-effective treatment approach for improving work-stress management among Staff of Nigeria Police Force in southeast Nigeria.

“…According to Workers of America, as cited in, [ 16 ] occupational stress leads to low productivity, absenteeism, and increased rates of accidents on and off the job. Ekpenyong and Inyang [ 17 ] as reported in [ 16 ] reported that 39.25% of a group of workers in Nigeria have work-related disorders. Besides, Azodo and Ezeja [ 18 ] showed that in Nigeria, every 10 respondents showed severe occupational stress.…”

Background: Extensive review of literature showed that no available study in Nigeria has explored the impact of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) on the management of occupational stress among open and distance learning (ODL) centers science and social science education facilitators. Thus, this study determined the impacts of CBT on the management of occupational stress among science and social science education facilitators in ODL centers in South-South Nigeria. Methods: A randomized controlled trial experimental design was adopted for the study with a sample size of 68 science and social science education facilitators in ODL centers in South-South states, Nigeria. Perceived stress scale (PSS) and Occupational stress index (OSI) were used for data collection. Using Cronbach alpha method, internal consistency reliability indices of 0.81 and 0.85 for PSS and OSI respectively were obtained in the Nigerian context. A 12-week cognitive behavior therapy intervention was conducted after which the participants in both the intervention group and the non-intervention group were administered posttest, while a follow-up assessment was administered after 2 months. Data collected were analyzed using mixed-design repeated-measures analysis of variance for the within-groups and between-groups effects. Results: It was found that CBT intervention led to a significant decrease in the occupational stress among science and social science education facilitators in ODL in the South-South region of Nigeria. Conclusion: Cognitive behavior therapy is effective in the management of occupational stress among science and social science education facilitators in distance learning centers.

Background/Objective: The identification of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder and its treatment is critically important in contemporary society. This preliminary research aimed to investigate the effect that rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) had on trauma-specific beliefs. Method:This study used a randomized controlled trial design. The study participants were 182 undergraduate students. A self-report questionnaire which measures trauma-specific irrational beliefs was used for data collection. A trauma-focused REBT manual guided the group intervention. Within x Between-subjects and paired t-test statistic were used for data analysis. Results:The results show that REBT brought about a significant reduction in trauma-specific irrational beliefs among the students in the treatment group compared to their counterparts in the waitlist control group. Finally, the results indicate that the positive gains were significantly maintained by the treatment group at four months follow-up. Conclusion:The current study suggests that an REBT program can be helpful in altering trauma-specific irrational beliefs. The authors employed this model of psychological intervention in an African society in which trauma is significant. The authors demonstrated a model for evaluation and a model of intervention that appears to be of a significant and enduring impact as reported in this study.
