“…People believe that irrational thoughts about an event influence emotions and behaviour rather than the event itself (Ellis, 1977 ). This is why Rational Emotive intervention will be used in this study since it has been used by many researchers (Ede et al, 2019 , 2020 ; Ede, Okeke, Adene & Areji, 2021 ; Ede, Okeke & Chinweuba et al, 2021 ; Ede, Okeke & Chukwu, 2021 ; Ede, Okeke, Igbo et al, 2021 ; Ezegbe et al, 2019 ; Ogbuanya et al, 2019 ), however with a different focus. These researchers have concluded that it is effective as a preventive and curative method of psychotherapy.…”

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.

“…That is, what touches a child appeared to have touched the parents. Given this reason, the healthiness of those parents whose children are experiencing language and motor development impairments, and sensory deficiency required a specialized REBT programme (Ede et al, 2021a). This was affirmed in past literature that improvement of family health gives psychosocial support to family members with special needs and possibly leads to life-goal actualization (Ede et al, 2021b(Ede et al, , 2021cCatalano et al, 2018).…”

“…Nevertheless, it may be difficult to achieve this when there is no family-oriented intervention (Ooi et al, 2016). As some of the problems seem non-clinical, Ede et al (2020Ede et al ( , 2021a argued that a family health-based intervention that is rooted in REBT should be recommended for such families. According to the authors, a trained rational emotive behavioural therapist with family health experience could provide professional mental health support to parents of children with disabilities.…”

“…Further, a recent intervention has demonstrated that family health model of REBT is a cost-effective method that alters irrational beliefs linked to parents' experiences whose children are living with disabilities such as visual impairment (Ede et al, 2021a). Similarly, the life and perceptions of parents of children with visual impairment were greatly improved after being exposed to rational-emotive approaches (Greaves, 1997;Weiss et al, 2015).…”

A good number of parents of children with Down syndrome are prone to depressive disorders. The depressive feelings are attributed to negative perceptions of the situation, self, and the future. Given this, we explored the impact of the family health model of rational-emotive behavior therapy on depressive symptoms in parents of children with intellectual disability of Down syndrome in the COVID-19 pandemic era. This is a randomized pretest-posttest control group design that recruited 88 parents of children with intellectual disability of Down syndrome. We measured the depressive symptoms in parents at Time 1, Time 2, and Time 3 using the Beck depressive inventory and Hamilton depression rating scale. We adopted a family health model rational emotive behaviour therapy intervention in treating the depressive symptoms affecting the parents. The analysis of covariate results showed that at initial assessment there was no significant difference between the treatment group and comparison group at baseline evaluation of depressive symptoms in participants. At the posttest, it had a significant effect on the intervention on participants' depressive symptoms. Likewise, a follow-up result still shows that intervention had a significant effect on participants' depressive symptoms of participants. In conclusion, this study suggests that treatment variable accounted for the effect in decreasing depressive symptoms scores of participants.

Background: The dispositions of students towards critical thinking (CT) no doubt improve their clinical practice and performance. Hence, efforts to explore ways to help students become aware and conscious of the need for CT are imperative for their selfactualization, development, and improved professional practice. It is worrisome that in spite of the limited intervention addressing CT disposition challenges, scholars are yet to study the problem, especially in developing countries.Methods: In view of that, we assessed how CT disposition can be improved among students enrolled in cognitive-behavioral reflective training programme (CBRT-P) using a group-randomized control study with three months follow-up. To achieve this, 163 students were allocated to different groups. The recruited participants were exposed to CBRT-P.Results: Repeated-measures analysis performed shows that at the posttest, the mean CT disposition scores of the participants enrolled in CBRT-programme (treatment group) were significantly greater compared to the counterpart group that is the comparison group. At the third assessment, the mean score of the dependent measure consistently remained higher in favor of the experimental group. Conclusion:Given the results, it is concluded that the treatment programme improves the CT disposition of students over time.Abbreviations: CBRT = cognitive-behavioral reflective training, CT = critical thinking, CTDI-M = critical thinking disposition inventory for Chinese medical college students, F = value from analysis of variance test, M = mean, SD = standard deviation.
