“…A large body of evidence shows that concept of self efficacy has a general role on mental health [21][22][23]. Tahmassian and colleagues reported that there is a significant and negative relationship between self-efficacy and depression ( = −0.42) and anxiety ( = −0.46) [24].…”

The aim of this study was to validate a Chinese version of the Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale (SES6C). In 2012, a cross-sectional study was conducted in a community clinic, in Beijing, China. A total of 262 hypertension patients participated in this study. Concurrent validity was validated by Pearson's correlations between the SES6C and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were performed to evaluate test-retest reliability of the scale. Related factors of self-efficacy were explored in linear regression models. The results of our study display acceptable psychometric properties: the scale was two-dimensional, reproducible (ICC = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.70-0.84), and the reliability was good (Cronbach's alpha = 0.88). Significant ( = −0.30; < 0.001) correlation was found between the level of self-efficacy and the level of psychological distress. In multivariable analysis, the factors significantly associated with self-efficacy were regular exercise ( = 0.659, < 0.01), HADS total score ( = −0.076, < 0.001) and health status ( = −0.530, < 0.001). The study provides evidence that the SES6C is acceptable, valid and repeatable for hypertension patients.

“…Increased psychological capital, especially resilience among nurses, is important because resilient nurses are less likely to have job stress and burnout, have better health, have higher levels of job engagement and intention to stay in the organization (24)(25)(26). Also, the amount of optimism and selfefficacy are related to lower level of depression among nurses, and psychological capitals (hope, optimism, resilience, and self-efficacy) are generally related to nurses' commitment to hospital missions (27).…”

Background and Objectives: One of the significant concepts considered by organizations is job engagement, which has been able to cover variables, namely, job engagement, motivation, and commitment. The present study aimed at investigating the effect of Luthans's psychological program on job engagement among nursing staff. Methods: In the present semi-experimental study, 64 nursing staff working at 22nd of Bahman Hospital in Khaf, during year 2017, with the inclusion criteria, were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental group (N = 32) and the control group (N = 32). The training program of Luthans's Psychological Capital was presented in ten 2-hour sessions (two sessions a week) for the experimental group and the control group did not receive any intervention. The instruments for data collection included a demographic form and work engagement scale, developed by Schaufeli and Salanova (2001). Data were analyzed using SPSS-22 software, independent t-test, pairwise t-test, Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square, Fisher exact test, and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: No significant difference was found between the mean score of general job engagement and its components before the intervention in the staff of the experimental and control groups (P > 0.05). In the staff of the experimental group, after the intervention, the mean score of general job engagement and its components was significantly higher than before (P < 0.05), whereas no significant difference was observed in the control group before and after the intervention (P < 0.05). The mean variations in general job engagement score and its components before and after the intervention were significantly higher in the staff of the experimental group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Based on the results of the present study, it is recommended to lay the groundwork for promoting job engagement and thus increase nurses' job engagement, using the psychological capital training program for nurses.

“…In the literature review of Koinis and his colleagues (2014), it is being accented that the working conditions of the health professionals, working hours, disturbed or minimum communication with co-workers and lack of sleep can contribute to the development of psychiatric symptoms and long-term to depression. In the current bibliography, the rates of depression symptoms in health care professionals differ importantly, depending on the methodology followed every time as well as the country where the research is conducted (for instance : Abbas et al 2013;Gao et al 2011;Chang et al 2010). …”

“…For instance, it has been investigated in nurses (Chang et al 2010), nursing technicians and nursing assistants (Rios et al 2010), physicians (Levine and Bryant 2000), social workers (Siebert 2004), and intellectual disability support staff (Mutkins et al 2011).

“…Compared to this percentage, in some studies have been found lower rates, in some similar or higher, depending on the specialisation of the staff and the evaluation manner of the depressive symptomatology (e.g. Siebert 2004;Yoon and Kim 2013;Chang et al 2010). These differences can be attributed both to the different conditions existing in different socio-cultural environments of the research's implementation and to the research's chosen methodology.…”
