“…In addition, similar findings were reported by empirical-based literature that CBT is a strong non-clinical intervention that could help people irrespective of their class, backgrounds, affiliation, and sex [61–64] . This study also supported Iremeka et al, [65] Ede et al, [66] Ede et al, [67] and Agah et al [68] on the efficacy of cognitive–behavioral and rational–emotive approaches in altering irrational behaviors.…”

Background: Most classroom teachers are weak in constructing test items for assessment of students. This study examined the effects of cognitive behavioral active engagement training on test items construction skills among primary school teachers in Nigeria. Methods: We adopted a randomized pretest–posttest control group design. A total of 148 participants served as the study sample. One instrument was used for data collection. The participants were administered the instrument at 4 different times. Test construction guide was employed to implement the training. Data analysis was completed using analysis of covariance. Results The researchers found that cognitive behavioral active engagement training had a significant effect on participants’ test items construction scores as measured by test construction skills inventory at posttest, first and second follow-up stages. Conclusion The researchers concluded that cognitive behavioral active engagement training is efficacious in the improvement of test items construction skills among primary school teachers in Nigeria.

“…In a related study, Malhotra et al (2012) indicated that the existence of a child with disability negatively affects family relationship and wellness. Such negative attitudes and perceptions could be resolved using a well-promising cognitive behavioural treatment (Abiogu et al, 2020a(Abiogu et al, , 2020bAgah et 2020;Agah et al, 2021;Ugwuanyi, et al, 2020aUgwuanyi, et al, , 2020bUgwuanyi, et al, , 2020c like family health-model of REBT among family members to enable them to live up to expectation.…”

“…In addition, the study’s sample size did not in any could affect the study; this is in line with the assumptions that cognitive therapy is not affected by small sample size. Rather, what is important is the therapist’s expertise in the therapeutic relationship (Agah et al, 2020 , 2021 ). Furthermore, the participation and involvement of mothers and fathers in this study signals one of the study’s biggest strengths, considering that earlier studies had mostly used mothers of children with disabilities, while neglecting potential moderating roles of the other parent.…”

The high rate of negative thinking in family circles due to the presence of children with visual impairment has grossly affects the quality of family life. In the case of Nigeria, low quality of family life is prevalent among parents of children with visual loss. This study attempts to validate the efficacy of a rational emotional family health therapy in addressing family values and quality of life among parents of children with visual impairment in Enugu state Nigeria. A group randomized controlled design, participants comprised 132 parents whose children were living with visual impairment in Enugu state, Nigeria. The participants in REFHP-group were exposed to a 12-session treatment programme whereas their counterparts in the waitlisted control group did not receive this intervention. Two measures-Family Quality of Life Scale and Family Value Scale were utilized in assessing the participants at three time points. Data analyses were completed using repeated measures ANOVA. Findings revealed that rational emotive family health therapy had a significantly positive effect on increasing family values and quality of family life among the study participants of the treatment group. This study contributes to the scholarship on the efficacy of rational emotive family health therapy in improving family values and quality of family life among parents of children with visual impairment.

“…The study used a group-randomized trial design which allowed the researchers to assign groups to study conditions and members of each group were assessed to measure their level of irrational thoughts/behaviours. Specifically, this type of study design enables randomization, the use of a control group which has been used in many REBT treatment studies (Agah et al, 2021 ; Ede et al, 2019 , 2020 ; Egbe et al, 2022 ; Ezegbe et al, 2019 ; Uzodinma et al, 2022 ). This measure is taken so as to ensure an improvement or change in each participant as well as across no contact control and treatment groups’ behaviours after the intervention programme as it relates to their work-family conflict.…”

Globally, work and family conflict has been investigated by many researchers. Yet there is an increased prevalence of work-family conflict and its influence on the well-being of the female teaching population, especially Nigerian primary school teachers. This incidence has kept a good proportion of schoolteachers vulnerable to health problems as well as affected their wellbeing. This study evaluates the effect of rational emotive behaviour therapy on improving the well-being of female teachers with irrational behaviours arising from the work-family conflict. This is a randomized study. A total of 69 female primary school teachers in Enugu state Nigeria who met the criteria for inclusion were used as the study participants. Three self-report measures (Work-Family Conflict questionnaire, Multidimensional Health States Scale-Short Form, and Teacher Irrational Belief Scale) were used to collect data. Repeated measures with analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine the effects of the intervention. The findings of the study revealed that REBT had a significant effect on the well-being scores of Nigerian female primary school teachers with work-family conflict when compared to their counterparts in the no-intervention group at Time 2. In addition, the effect of REBT on improving well-being in female teachers with work-family conflict was significantly maintained at the follow-up measurements (Time 3). In conclusion, it is suggested that REBT is an effective intervention for moderating the effect of work-family conflict on the well-being of career female teachers. As such, cognitive behavioural therapists can further examine the effectiveness of REBT using other constructs and cultures.
