“…Common anxiety coping strategies for students, as mentioned by Baluwa et al [ 40 ], involved active coping and planning. Sucuogluet et al [ 42 ] showed that relaxation techniques and positive self-talk are the most common methods of managing test anxiety. Ortega et al [ 43 ] suggested that cognitive behavioral therapy and progressive muscle relaxation programs are useful for anxiety management in clinical practice nursing students.…”

Nursing students experience anxiety during clinical practicum, which may interfere with their learning of clinical practice. This study explored the practicum anxiety symptom experience of clinical nursing students. The methodology was a qualitative research design following a grounded theory approach. Research data were gathered via theoretical sampling from 37 female college nursing students practicing in a Central Taiwan hospital and analyzed using the content analysis method. The mean age of the subjects was 20.7 ± 1.35 years old. The practicum-related anxiety symptom experience was made up of core dimensions associated with the nursing clinical practicum, such as bad sleep and fatigue, and covered six themes. Students first encountered anxiety-inducing situations in the clinical setting, and then they began coping through self-adaptation and teachers’ help. In cases of coping failure, students began to have a bad sleep in the night and then felt tired and fatigued all day. These themes became a repeating cycle during the clinical practicum. This conceptual model shows that students experienced bad sleep and fatigue as a result of anxiety symptoms during the clinical practicum. Bad sleep and fatigue are critical anxiety symptoms for nursing students in clinical practice. Nursing teachers should pay attention to bad sleep and fatigue in nursing students and help students to improve their mental and physical health.

“…Anxiety is a delicate and challenging subject that arises in every human endeavour (Alpert & Haber, 1960 ; Horwitz et al, 1986 ; Reiss et al, 1986 ; Spielberger, 2010 ). Anxiety is defined by Sucuoğlu et al ( 2017 ) as extreme worry and self-consciousness about immediate and prospective conditions.…”

After withdrawing the movement control order (MCO), new variant (Omicron) of COVID-19 returns as an outbreak again. Therefore, consumers are very much informed by various media to be more cautious in visiting shopping malls and spend less time in there. The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors influencing the desire to stay shorter at the shopping mall. This study was conducted in Malaysia, with the application of three psychological theories and one behavioural theory. This is quantitative research based on an online cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected from 296 respondents, by applying the online snowball sampling method through numerous media platforms i.e., Viber, WhatsApp, Messenger, and other apps in three severely affected cities in Malaysia i.e., Selangor state, Putrajaya, and Kuala Lumpur. SmartPLS was used to analyse the data. Using structural equation modelling, this study result shows risk, protection motivation, and fear have a significant effect on the desire to stay a shorter time at the shopping mall. Social norm moderates the association between fear and the desire to spend a shorter time at the shopping mall. These findings, highlight the need for a more empirical study to design more robust strategies, and a safer and risk-free shopping mall environment.

“…Anxiety is a very sensitive and difficult issue that re-occur in all humans endeavour (Spielberger, 2010;Horwitz, Horwitz & Cope, 1986;Alpert & Haber, 1960;Reiss, Peterson, Gursky & McNally, 1986). Sucuoğlu, Nawaila and Shimave (2017) defined anxiety as an intense worry and self-consciousness that concern the immediate and anticipated circumstances. Horwitz (2010) termed anxiety as a multi-faceted and psychological science that consists of numerous types of anxietylike traits, state, achievement, and facilitative-debilitative anxiety.…”

“…According to Sucuoğlu, Nawaila and Shimave (2017), to reduce the effects of examination anxiety among teachers is to prime interest in their personal development, examination standard and evaluation system, excessive course load, lack of time to revise before the exam and lack of systematic studies (McKeachie & Svinicki, 2013). Moreover, Johnson, (1999) suggested that short-term and long-term anxiety by instructors can lead to regulate feelings (somatic) and thoughts (cognitive) that lead to worry/anxiety before the examination.…”

In recent years, examination anxiety among teachers assumes a critical sphere in the global academic environment. The causes of teacher examination anxiety in education have been reviewed by a few scholars. This shows that teacher examination anxiety and its impact on academic development are limited in research. Therefore, this study investigated the linear relationship between two self-report instruments – the causes of teacher examination anxiety and dimensions of coping with pre-exam anxiety. The study adopted a quantitative approach with three-hundred teachers from four secondary schools in Nigeria and twenty teachers from two secondary schools in North Cyprus participated in the survey. Also, a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was utilized for the analysis. The results of the study indicate that the two factors (teacher causes of exam anxiety and dimensions of coping with pre-exam anxiety) are interconnected. The results also indicate teachers’ preparation for examinations coupled with various dimensions of anxiety is a complex task that demands educational stakeholders to constantly improving on causes of examination anxiety and factors of pre-exam anxiety among teachers for better academic and ethical development.
