“…The score expected in the general population is +25 with a standard deviation of 20. Reliability and validity have been well established and reported internal consistency estimates were from .78 to .95 (Rosenbaum, 1990;Zauszniewski & Chung, 2001). The SCS was previously translated in Chinese to measure self-control in adolescents in Taiwan (Huang, Sousa, Tu, & Hwang, 2005).…”

“…White, Tata, and Burns (1996) found that diabetic patients with high resourcefulness levels reported fewer hypoglycemic episodes. Learned resourcefulness was a partial mediating factor between depressive symptoms and health practices of individuals with diabetes (Zauszniewski & Chung, 2001). Individuals with diabetes who had greater learned resourcefulness and better glycemic control also had fewer depressive symptoms.…”

It is well recognized that patients with diabetes encounter a host of daily self-care issues, including controlling blood sugar and preventing and managing complications, which impact significantly upon quality of life. Studies have indicated that learned resourcefulness has a potentially positive effect in dealing with psychosocial and health problems. The purpose of this study was to test the relationship between learned resourcefulness and quality of life in type II diabetic patients. The mediating and moderating effects of learned resourcefulness on the relationship between metabolic control and quality of life of diabetic patients was also examined. This cross-sectional and correlational study included a convenience sample of 131 type II diabetic patients recruited from three hospitals in southern Taiwan. Data were collected through questionnaires, which included the Rosenbaum's Self Control Schedule and World Health Organization's Quality of Life (Short Version). Multiple regression techniques were used to analyze outcome predictors. Study findings include identification of a mediating effect of learned resourcefulness between metabolic control and quality of life. While most DM patients were not satisfied with their health, we found that those with greater learned resourcefulness enjoyed a better quality of life. Learned resourcefulness, gender, and HbA 1 C explained 35.2% of variance in DM patient quality of life. Male diabetic patients enjoyed a better quality of life than females, even though levels of learned resourcefulness between the two groups were not significantly different. Results indicate that poor metabolic control of diabetic patients has a detrimental effect on quality of life, and when diabetic patients use more self-control skills, they may achieve better quality of life. Results suggest that nurses who use cognitive behavior coping strategies (resourcefulness) may help diabetic patients achieve better metabolic control and promote better quality of life.

“…The key component in his model is learned resourcefulness -the basic self-regulatory skills needed to handle everyday life challenges. Individuals possessing a large general repertoire of learned resourcefulness skills make use of positive self-instructions, delay gratification, apply problem-solving methods and employ other self-control strategies when dealing with negative emotions (Rosenbaum & Cohen, 1999), breaking bad habits (Kennett, Morris, & Bangs, 2006), adhering to medical regimens (Zauszniewski & Chung, 2001), or overcoming other adversities they encounter (Edwards & Riordan, 1994;McWhirter, 1997). Evidence shows that these skills begin to develop in early childhood, through interaction and modelling from others (Preechawong et al, 2007;Turkel & Tezer, 2008;Zauszniewski, Chung, Chang, & Krafcik, 2002), and become stable by early adulthood (Rosenbaum, 1990).…”

We examined the variables contributing to statistical anxiety, statistical resourcefulness and grades in an intermediate statistics course. Questionnaires assessing the aforementioned variables, as well as general resourcefulness, statistical self-efficacy and attitudes, and grade goals were completed by 168 students in September and in January. Our findings revealed that students possessing a larger repertoire of general resourcefulness skills and higher statistical self-efficacy were more likely to rely on statistical self-control strategies, and, as a result, attain higher grades. Students having higher statistical test anxiety were not only less generally and statistically resourceful, but they were also more likely to be aiming for lower grades and attributing past performance disappointments to lack of ability and task difficulty.

“…Mothers with challenges due to bipolar illness can draw on resourcefulness to manage variations in their disorder and mothering (Zauszniewski, 2006;Zauszniewski & Musil, 2012). Overall resourcefulness (the total of self-help and help-seeking) has been found to have a strong direct effect on health practices (Zauszniewski & Chung, 2001). We included the direct effect of resourcefulness because we don't expect that self-help and help-seeking will completely account for the effects of resourcefulness on mothering quality.…”

A sensitive, secure, and consistent relationship with their mother is critical for young children. There is a dearth of knowledge about the quality of mothering of young children by women with bipolar disorder. These mothers are frequently challenged, unable to provide consistency, and are at risk for loss of child custody. The model described in this article reflects a critical analysis of conceptual and empirical literature regarding mothering quality, resourcefulness, disorder severity, medication adherence, social supports, and child-rearing beliefs. The model can provide a conceptual framework for research, direct the selection of research instruments, and hypothesize the relationships among constructs.
