Abstract

Background: Academic stress and parental pressure have been shown to be important factors associated with psychological health. However, the internal mechanism between them is still not clear. Aim: This study assessed the joint significant influence of the predictor variables (academic stress and parental pressure) as predictors of psychological health in COVID-19 emergency times among school children with disabilities in Calabar metropolis, Cross River State, Nigeria: The implication for counseling. One study objective was stated, and one statement of hypothesis was posed. A literature review was carried out based on the variable under study. Method: The research design that was adopted in this study is correlational research design. A simple random sampling technique was adopted to select the 234 respondents sampled for the study from a population of 2,344. A validated 35-item four-point modified Likert scale questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The face and content validity of the instrument was established by experts in Test and Measurement. The reliability estimates 0.89 of the instruments were established using the Cronbach Alpha method. A multiple Linear regression statistical tool was used to test the hypotheses formulated for the study. The hypothesis was tested at a 0.05 level of significance. Results: The results obtained from the data analysis revealed that there is a joint significant influence of the predictor variables (academic stress and parental pressure) on psychological health in COVID-19 emergency times among school children with learning disabilities. Conclusion: Sometimes, stress and pressure can be motivating at the mild stage. However, at the severe stage, it could lead to frustration, social pressure, family workload, and cognitive overload, which in turn influences an individual to use and abuse substances in order to escape from unpleasant feelings of life situations. It was recommended that Parents should advise students on how to perform well academically rather than setting standards that may put so much pressure on students, which may have a negative impact on the psychological health of the students.

学业压力和家长压力是尼日利亚克罗斯河州卡拉巴尔市智障学童在 Covid-19 紧急状况下心理健康的预测因素:对心理咨询的影响
背景:学业压力和父母压力已被证明是与心理健康相关的重要因素。然而,它们之间的内在机制仍不清楚。 目的:本研究评估了预测变量(学业压力和父母压力)对尼日利亚克罗斯河州卡拉巴尔市残疾学童在 COVID-19 紧急状况下心理健康的共同显著影响:对心理咨询的影响。 提出了一个研究目标和一个假设。根据研究变量进行了文献综述。 研究方法:本研究采用的研究设计是相关研究设计。本研究采用简单随机抽样技术,从 2,344 名受访者中抽取了 234 名受访者。数据收集工具是一份经过验证的 35 项四分改良李克特量表问卷。测试和测量专家确定了问卷的面效度和内容效度。采用 Cronbach Alpha 方法确定了问卷的可靠性估计值为 0.89。多元线性回归统计工具用于检验为本研究提出的假设。假设检验的显著性水平为 0.05。 结果数据分析结果显示,在 COVID-19 紧急情况下,预测变量(学业压力和父母压力)对学习障碍学童的心理健康有共同的显著影响。 结论有时,压力和压力在轻微阶段会起到激励作用。然而,在严重阶段,它可能会导致挫折感、社会压力、家庭工作量和认知超负荷,进而影响个人使用和滥用药物,以逃避生活环境中的不愉快感受。建议家长应建议学生如何在学业上取得好成绩,而不是制定可能会给学生带来巨大压力的标准,这可能会对学生的心理健康产生负面影响。
