Exploring the Application (or Use) Of Educational Theory in Perinatal Teaching through Four Theorists
Published in Mary Nolan, Shona Gore, Contemporary Issues in Perinatal Education, 2023
Build self-esteem by demonstrating a non-judgemental attitude, inviting parents’ contributions and valuing them, acknowledging individual experiences and achievements. Give parents the freedom to express feelings and thoughts. Draw out the knowledge parents already have, thereby enhancing their self-esteem. Provide multiple opportunities to acquire practical baby care skills and self-help skills for labour and birth so that parents feel they have competency to meet the practical challenges ahead.
Work stress induced psychological disorders in construction
Published in Imriyas Kamardeen, Work Stress Induced Chronic Diseases in Construction, 2021
Self-esteem is an overall evaluation of one’s personal worth or value. It is a collection of an individual’s attitudes towards him/herself, i.e. the sum of self-confidence (a feeling of personal capacity), and self-respect (a feeling of personal worth) (Kanayo 2016). Self-esteem is a moderator of the stress–strain relationship (Cooper, Dewe and O’Driscoll 2001) as individuals with low self-esteem are likely to experience more strains and individuals with high self-esteem are more likely to adopt adaptive coping methods (Landy and Conte 2006). However, a vicious cycle is also possible between self-esteem and work stress. Self-esteem can impact one’s performance and stress coping to a large extent and employees’ self-esteem is negatively influenced by their failure to meet goals, and thereby work stress (Akgunduz 2013).

Obese children are usually fat because their intake of calories is more than their expenditure. While genetic factors may be relevant, and family eating habits invariably are, endocrine causes are rare. One of the conditions predisposing to the most severe obesity is Prader-Willi syndrome, which should be diagnosed in the early years of life through chromosome analysis, because of dysmorphic features and floppiness. Other syndromes are probably even rarer. Low self-esteem and other psychological problems are common, but it is not easy to tell whether they are the cause or the consequence of the obesity.
Relationship Between Self-Esteem and Risky Sexual Behavior among Adolescents and Young Adults: A Systematic Review
Published in American Journal of Sexuality Education, 2023
Adolescents with low self-esteem were more likely to not use condoms (Supplement 2 (Miller et al. 2000):). Low self-esteem can lead to an inferiority complex, which, in turn, leads to poor self-perception. It seems that adolescents are involved in RSB to conceal such flaws (Boden & Horwood, 2006). These adolescents have difficulty asserting their wish to use a condom for themselves and their sex partners; they engage in unprotected sex due to inhibition when purchasing a condom and poor self-worth. By contrast, adolescents with high self-esteem use condoms during their sex. A Swedish study on RSB among high school students in rural areas reported that condom use and self-efficacy in purchasing condoms increased with self-esteem (Unis et al., 2015). However, there are also studies showing no significant relationship between self-esteem and condom use (Supplement 2 (Babalola et al., 2002; Chewning et al. 2001; Enejoh et al., 2016; Mlunde et al. 2012):), thus calling for further studies, including qualitative studies, on the effects of self-esteem on condom use (Arsandaux et al., 2020). Professional counseling and parental and teacher support are needed for adolescents with low self-esteem so that they can develop healthy self-esteem instead of trying to increase their self-esteem by indulging in RSB (Mruk, 2013; van de Bongardt et al., 2016).

Self-esteem refers to the positive or negative evaluation of our worthiness as individuals, such as a judgment that we are good valuable people. (see Neff, 2011; Rosenberg et al., 1995). As a generic indicator of mental health, self-esteem could be raised by being accepted and supported by the people surrounded. Given the fact that a main source of stress for LGB individuals is discrimination from the external environment, sufficient social support could provide valuable meaning to the development of self-esteem in LGB individuals. The minority stress theory posited that social support could decrease the risk of adverse outcomes and maladaptive behaviors among sexual minorities (Meyer, 2003). Building on minority stress theory, Hatzenbuehler (2009) proposed that interpersonal and cognitive factors play a crucial role in coping with minority stress. Among these factors, low levels of social support and self-esteem are agreed to lead to poor mental health outcomes among sexual minority individuals.
Parental perceptions of stuttering in children: a systematic review of the literature

In addition to making decisions at the onset of stuttering, parental responses to stuttering may also impact on the psychosocial engagement of the child as stuttering progresses. Yaruss and Quesal (2004) highlighted environmental factors, such as support and personal relationships, impact the quality of life of people who stutter (PWS). Given children typically spend a significant amount of time in their formative years with their family, it is likely the reaction of family members to stuttering may also impact a child’s psychosocial wellbeing. Parents can provide support by teaching their child to accept and manage stuttering, or negative reactions may hinder the development of positive management techniques and their self-identification as a person (Hughes, Gabel, Goberman, & Hughes, 2011). Further, some studies suggest that young children’s self-esteem is highly dependent on the approval and acceptance of their parents and others in their environment (Özdemir, St Louis, & Topbas, 2011). Therefore, parental reactions to stuttering would impact on the psychosocial wellbeing of a CWS.
