“…For instance, a group-based CBT program [30] reported significantly greater improvements, compared to the control condition, on the total burnout subscales scores (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment) at post-treatment, with treatment effects maintained at 6-month follow-up. REBT, similar to CBT, has also demonstrated positive impacts on stress and burnout, among special educators [46][47][48] and in the health sector, in addition to reducing depression in adults with congenital heart disease [75].…”

Background: Teaching is recognized as a highly challenging profession. Experience of chronic stress is a risk factor for poor mental and physical well-being, and burnout. There is limited knowledge regarding optimal interventions to address stress and burnout among teachers. Objective: To undertake a scoping review of the literature in the last five years to determine various psychological interventions to address stress and burnout among teachers. Method: The PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews was followed. Relevant search terms were used to determine different interventions adopted to reduce teachers’ stress and burnout. Articles published between 2018 and 2022 were identified using five bibliographic databases. Relevant articles were extracted, reviewed, collated, and thematically analyzed, and findings s were summarized. Results: Forty studies conducted in Asia, North America, Oceania, Europe, and Africa, met the inclusion criteria. Sixteen kinds of burnout and stress-reduction interventions were identified. The most popularly studied intervention were Mindfulness-Based Interventions alone or in combination with yoga or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), followed by Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). Mindfulness-Based Interventions led to decreased overall Teacher Stress Inventory (TSI) and emotional exhaustion subscale scores. REBT, primarily used with special education teachers, especially in Africa, has also shown positive results. Other interventions reporting positive outcomes include Inquiry-Based Stress Reduction (IBSR), the Stress Management and Resiliency Training Program (SMART), Cyclic Meditation, Group Sandplay, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Autogenic Training, Sport-Based Physical Activity, Emotional Intelligence Ability Models and Christian Prayer and Prayer-Reflection. Conclusions: Stress and burnout can have a negative impact on teachers and, very often, on the students they teach. Implementing suitable school-based interventions is necessary to improve teachers’ stress-coping ability, reduce the likelihood of burnout and improve general well-being. Policymakers, governments, school boards and administrators should prioritize the implementation of school-based awareness and intervention programs.

“…[27] The present finding also corroborate that of past studies which have used various models of rational-emotive behavioral therapy for depression treatment and reported positive results. [32][33][34][35][36][37] The current study also demonstrated a significant effect of Time on HDRS and GDS scores of pre-service adult education teachers. This study also found significant interaction effects of Time and Group on HDRS and GDS scores of pre-service adult education teachers.…”

“…A combination of RREBT (Christian-oriented REBT treatment model) [25][26][27] and some conventional REBT treatment techniques (e.g. cognitive disputation, homework) adapted from past interventions [32][33][34][35][36][37] were used incorporated into the manual to provide depression treatment to pre-service adult education teachers in the current study.

Objective: Studies show that depression undermines the mental health of pre-service teachers. The objective of this research was to determine whether a rational emotive behavior intervention will be effective in treating depression among Nigerian pre-service adult education teachers. Methods: The study participants comprise 70 pre-service adult education teachers with moderate to severe depression. The treatment arm consist 35 pre-service adult education teachers, while the control arm consist 35 pre-service adult education teachers. With randomized control group design, an 8-week rational emotive behavior intervention was delivered to the treatment arm while the control arm participants were waitlisted. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Goldberg Depression Scale (GDS) were used for data collection. We utilized repeated ANOVA to analyze the study data collected at 3 time points (pretest, post-test, and follow-up). Results: The rational-emotive behavior intervention was significantly effective in reducing the mean depression scores of pre-service adult education teachers in the treatment arm when compared to those in the control arm (HDRS: P < .001, ηp 2 = 0.869; GDS: P < .001, ηp 2 = 0.827). The treatment intervention consistently reduced mean depression scores of the pre-service adult education teachers at follow-up compared to the control arm (HDRS: P < .000, 95% confidence interval: −24.049, −19.837, ηp 2 = 0.864; GDS: P < .001, 95% confidence interval: −37.587 to 31.213, ηp 2 = 0.872). The results also showed significant effects of Time as well as significant interaction effects of Time and Group on HDRS and GDS scores of pre-service adult education teachers. Conclusion: The study concludes that among pre-service adult education teachers, a rational emotive behavior therapy treatment model was significantly effective and consistent in depression treatment. It is crucial to apply this rational-emotive behavior treatment approach in depression treatment among Nigerian pre-service adult education teachers. Compliance to the REBT treatment plans and timing is very crucial in achieving desired results.

“…Irrational thoughts in women with CVDs induce reactive emotions, maladaptive behaviors, cognitive defects, trigger catastrophe, and sexual isolation. On the other hand, their husbands' pressure to have sex causes guilt, worthlessness, and lack of sexual efficiency [37][38][39]. This attitude in women contributes to irrational fear and anxiety around sex causing them not to run away from it, not yield to it, to take constructive action to solve it, and correct irrational interpretations and frameworks, which reduce their fear and anxiety about having sex [37,40].…”

Background: Sexual function in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is often associated with anxiety and irrational beliefs. Moreover, 60-78% of patients with CVDs report sexual problems. Some studies suggest that sexual counseling is necessary for these patients but is not usually provided for them. Online or telephone counseling may be helpful during the covid-19 pandemic, but studies on its application to sexual function appear to be limited. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of online vs. telephone counseling of rational-emotional-behavioral therapy (REBT) on the sexual function of women undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, 46 women diagnosed with CVDs under rehabilitation were assigned into online and telephone groups. Overall, eight 60-min intervention sessions were held (once a week). The Female's Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was completed by the women at baseline, week 8th, and follow-up week 12th (main outcome). Results: FSFI scores between the two groups at baseline (online: 13.28±2, telephone: 12.68±1.52, P=0.254) compared to week 12th (online 28.86±2.44, telephone, 26.6±2.10, P=0.002) were significantly different. As for within-group comparison in baseline compared to week 12th statistically significant difference was observed in all subscales of FSFI (P<0.05). Conclusion: Online and telephone REBT counseling can improve the sexual function of women undergoing cardiac rehabilitation, but online counseling appears to be more effective. Thus, this method is recommended to improve the sexual function of these women during the covid-19 pandemic
