“…The study suggests that PrEP self-efficacy has a negative correlation with anxiety level, while there was no significant difference between different depression levels. This result is consistent with previous findings in other populations (Razavi, Shahrabi, & Siamian, 2017). Therefore, we should continue to popularize AIDS knowledge and PrEP-related knowledge, and strengthen MSM psychological intervention to promote health.…”

This research examines the level of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) self-efficacy among HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM) in China and identifies the influencing factors associated with the level of PrEP self-efficacy in terms of social-demographic characteristics and social psychological factors. The data were gathered from a baseline assessment of a longitudinal randomized controlled intervention trial. From April 2013 to March 2015, nonprobability sampling was used to recruit HIV-negative MSM at Chongqing, Guangxi, Xinjiang, and Sichuan in west China. A total of 1884 HIV-negative MSM were analyzed. Chi-square test and nonparametric rank sum test were used for univariate analysis. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to discuss the factors that influence the level of PrEP self-efficacy. Overall levels of PrEP self-efficacy were low, and five factors were found to effect PrEP self-efficacy: age, residence, AIDS-related knowledge, PrEP-related motivation, and anxiety. Age and anxiety score were negatively related to PrEP self-efficacy. The higher the age and anxiety score, the lower the PrEP self-efficacy. AIDS-related knowledge and PrEP-related motivation were actively related to PrEP self-efficacy. The higher the knowledge and motivation score, the higher the PrEP self-efficacy. In addition, the PrEP self-efficacy level of MSM in rural areas is lower than that in urban areas. The lower level of self-efficacy in the MSM population needs to be improved. Pertinent interventions should be taken to promote the self-efficacy of PrEP in MSM, to enhance their willingness to take medicine, improve their medication adherence, and thus reduce HIV infection among MSM.

“…Pu et al verified that dispositional optimism partially mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and depression 60. Razavi et al reported a negative relationship between self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire) and research anxiety among master’s and PhD students at Islamic Azad University 61. In addition, we found that research self-efficacy (RSES) and mentoring relationship (AWAI-S) correlated significantly.…”

PurposeAlthough the mental health status of doctoral students deserves attention, few scholars have paid attention to factors related to their mental health problems. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression and anxiety in doctoral students and examine possible associated factors. We further aimed to assess whether mentoring relationships mediate the association between research self-efficacy and depression/anxiety.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 325 doctoral students in a medical university. The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 scale were used to assess depression and anxiety. The Research Self-Efficacy Scale was used to measure perceived ability to fulfill various research-related activities. The Advisory Working Alliance Inventory-student version was used to assess mentoring relationships. Linear hierarchical regression analyses were performed to determine if any factors were significantly associated with depression and anxiety. Asymptotic and resampling methods were used to examine whether mentoring played a mediating role.ResultsApproximately 23.7% of participants showed signs of depression, and 20.0% showed signs of anxiety. Grade in school was associated with the degree of depression. The frequency of meeting with a mentor, difficulty in doctoral article publication, and difficulty in balancing work–family–doctoral program was associated with both the level of depression and anxiety. Moreover, research self-efficacy and mentoring relationships had negative relationships with levels of depression and anxiety. We also found that mentoring relationships mediated the correlation between research self-efficacy and depression/anxiety.ConclusionThe findings suggest that educational experts should pay close attention to the mental health of doctoral students. Active strategies and interventions that promote research self-efficacy and mentoring relationships might be beneficial in preventing or reducing depression and anxiety.

“…Based on the findings, it can be determined that the fifth hypothesis is confirmed. This shows that this level of dispositional empathy when activating fear, anxiety and lack of control fosters negative beliefs of self-efficacy due to their presumption of failure [36][37][38]. It should be remembered that a low level of academic self-efficacy can trigger negative consequences not only academic but also personal [4] and that it is predictive of emotional exhaustion [55].…”

“…Regarding the differences in dispositional empathy depending on the high or low self-efficacy that the academic perceived, it should be noted that, based on the previous observed literature [36][37][38], the fifth hypothesis stated that the low perceived academic self-efficacy could present significantly higher averages in personal discomfort with respect to the high perceived academic self-efficacy.…”

“…However, empathic concern compassionately empathizes with others, and personal discomfort empathizes with people activating a feeling of fear, anxiety and loss of control. In this sense, it should be considered that fear activates the negative consequences of failure [36], anxiety negatively influences self-efficacy [37] and control beliefs in students contribute to higher performance goals [38]. In fact, authors such as Dionigi et al [35] affirm that personal discomfort can generate a negative affect when putting oneself in the situation that another person is experiencing, and that a low academic self-efficacy predicts emotional exhaustion [4].…”

High perceived academic self-efficacy influences both subject performance and emotions of the subject. In turn, dispositional empathy implies a social and emotional adaptability towards the subject itself and those around them. This study aimed to analyze the differences in the mean dispositional empathy factors (i.e., perspective taking, fantasy, empathic concern and personal distress) between future teachers with high and low perceived academic self-efficacy, as well as the predictive capacity of dispositional empathy on high perceived academic self-efficacy, and the correlations between both dimensions. For this, a sample of 805 Spanish students of the Faculties of Education of the Universities of Alicante and Murcia was recruited. The Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica de Situaciones Académicas was used to assess perceived academic self-efficacy and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index was used to analyze the dimensions of dispositional empathy. It was observed that high academic self-efficacy is more likely to present in people with a high level of perspective taking and fantasy (OR = 1.07 and 1.09, respectively) and less for those with personal discomfort (OR = 0.17). The other analyzes provided the same conclusions. In conclusion, it is important to develop perceived academic self-efficacy in undergraduates and future teachers due to the consequences that can lead to their classrooms.
