Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

569
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Emerging Adulthood

934
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.9K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

682
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

1.7K
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

383
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Adolescent Medicine
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Effective self-management is crucial for adolescents and emerging adults (AEA) with chronic health conditions transitioning to adult care.
  • Peer-mentoring programs show promise in enhancing AEA self-management skills.
  • Understanding the training needs for young adult peer mentors (YAPM), especially interpersonal skills, is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and pilot-test a training curriculum for YAPM.
  • To enhance the self-management skills of AEA within a healthcare transition context.
  • To identify key components for effective YAPM training, focusing on interpersonal skills.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study involving the creation and pilot testing of a YAPM training curriculum.
  • The curriculum comprised four components: ethics, transition knowledge, interpersonal skills (including Motivational Interviewing), and support.
  • Training methods included didactic sessions, group activities, and standardized simulations.

Main Results:

  • Five YAPM completed the pilot training.
  • YAPM found all training components useful, with a particular emphasis on interpersonal skills.
  • Simulations demonstrated unique skill development in each YAPM, measured by observational coding.

Conclusions:

  • The developed formal mentor training curriculum can clarify YAPM roles and expectations.
  • The training has the potential to improve YAPM interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Enhanced YAPM effectiveness may lead to better self-management support for AEA during healthcare transitions.
