“…Previous studies have shown that self-efficacy is significant in improving levels of responsibility taken in an emergency and work enthusiasm of the MHO staff [34][35][36][37]. Among them, MHO staff with high self-efficacy have high expectations of themselves, are more inclined to choose challenging tasks, and will adhere to their behavior even if they encounter difficulties [38][39][40]. Conversely, individuals with low self-efficacy have low cognition and evaluation of themselves and tend to give up after being negatively affected [41].…”

Medical and Health Organization (MHO) staff’s emergency preparedness awareness and behaviors are essential variables that affect public health emergency response effectiveness. Based on the theory of psychological capital and the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study discusses the mechanism of the psychological characteristics of MHO staff on their emergency preparedness behavioral intention (EPBI). To verify the research model, we conducted a web-based questionnaire survey among 243 MHO staff from China and analyzed the data using the structural equation modeling software, AMOS 24.0 (IBM, New York, United States). The empirical results reveal that psychological capital significantly affected cognitive processes theorized by TPB. This study suggests that the positive psychological capital of MHO staff should be developed and managed to improve their EPBI.

“…Knowledge and attitudes are information sources in the self-efficacy theory [22], and they were both targeted in the SIP. Many intervention programmes focus on improving either knowledge or attitude of HCPs [39,40]. The current study provides evidence that both knowledge and attitude changed positively by the SIP.…”

“…Correct knowledge and attitudes among HCPs are key factors for perinatal mental health actions [9]. Lack of knowledge among HCPs is related to lack of self-efficacy [40], and negative attitude among HCPs may compromise the motivation of depression prevention [39]. Knowledge and attitudes are information sources in the self-efficacy theory [22], and they were both targeted in the SIP.…”

Background: Targeting perinatal depressive symptoms among women can reduce premature mortality. However, public health professionals (PHPs) in primary healthcare settings often have low self-efficacy for detection and management of perinatal depressive symptoms among women. This mixed-methods study was aimed at developing and evaluating a self-efficacy improvement programme (SIP) intended to increase PHPs' self-efficacy in efforts to detect and manage perinatal depressive symptoms. Methods: The SIP consisted of 1 day of theory and 4 weeks of practice. Sixty-six PHPs from sub-district health promotion hospitals (primary health care level) in Sakonnakhon, a northeastern province in Thailand, were randomised into an intervention group (n = 33) and a control group (n = 33). Twenty-three of the intervention group participants also took part in focus group discussions (FGDs). Multiple linear regression and qualitative content analysis were used to analyse the data. Results: After the SIP, the intervention group participants had higher self-efficacy score than those in the control group (p = 0.004). The FGDs resulted in four categories emerging: Having confidence, Changing knowledge and attitudes, Increasing perception of an important role, and Increasing awareness of performed function. Conclusions: To enhance the ability of PHPs to detect and manage perinatal depressive symptoms, an intervention programme based on self-efficacy modification is recommended.

“…Two factors could account for this difference between labour/childbirth and invasive procedures. Firstly for invasive medical/surgical procedures, the hypnotherapist is present during the whole procedure, which is not so for labour, implying that the presence of a therapist is a key element, as suggested by McAllister et al (48). Secondly, hypnosis could mainly act on the affective component of pain, and not on the sensory component, suggesting that hypnosis may not prevent the appearance of pain, but that it helps to cope with it.…”
