- Description: Abstract: This survey research was conducted to examine the predictive power of some demographic factors over nurses’ work stress and burnout. Participants were a convenience sample of 923 nurses who provided informed consent prior to completing the survey instruments. We used regression statistics to analyze the research data collected. The results suggest that gender, age, marital status, educational qualification, and work experience had very low predictive power over burnout and work stress among the nurses. These demographic variables accounted for very little or no variance in work stress and burnout respectively among the nurses. Further research could make use of interview schedule to investigate the demographic predictors of work stress and burnout among nurses.

- Description: Abstract: This study investigated the eating habits of pupils in Nigerian primary schools based on the respective education levels of their parents. Data were obtained using the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ). Participants included a total of 144 pupils who were purposively selected from 6 primary schools. Based on responses, a cross-sectional analytic study design was implemented to investigate how parental education levels (PELs) influenced the eating habits of their children. Data assessment was performed using a one-way between-group analysis of variance at the .05 probability level. PELs significantly affected the eating habits of participants, respectively. Specifically, low PEL was associated with more satiety responsiveness to food (F [2, 141]=14.251, P<.001), higher responsiveness to food (F [2, 141]=36.943, P=<.001) greater food enjoyment (F [2, 141]=93.322, P<.001), greater drinking desires (F [2, 141]=23.677, P<.001), and the tendency for emotional over-eating (F [2, 141]=13.428, P<.001), while high PEL was associated with slower eating (F [2, 141]=11.665, P<.001), fussier responses to food (F [2, 141]=14.865, P<.001), and a higher tendency for emotional under-eating (F [2, 141]=5.137, P<.01). This study examined PELs in relation to the respective eating habits of their children, who were attending Nigerian primary schools. Data showed that children with parents who had high, middle, and low education levels tended to exhibit progressively worse eating habits, in descending order.

- Description: Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the association between work irrational beliefs and each burnout dimension (physical fatigue, cognitive weariness and emotional exhaustion) by treating burnout as a construct that is multidimensional. This cross-sectional, correlational study was completed by a convenience sample of nine hundred and twenty-three Nigerian federal medical nurses. The study data were collected from participating nurses through a 15-item Nurses’ Work-related Irrational Beliefs Questionnaire (NWIBQ) and a 17-item Nurses’ Burnout Questionnaire (NBQ) with three subscales consisting of physical fatigue, cognitive weariness and emotional exhaustion. For analyses of data collected, bivariate correlation and linear regression analyses were conducted at .05 level of significance. The statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software, version 22. Results indicated that work irrational beliefs negatively correlated with physical fatigue (r=-.049, P=.136), cognitive weariness (r= -.025, P=.442) and emotional exhaustion (r=- .051, P=.123) among the nurses. The analyses also confirmed the extent of a direct association between work irrational beliefs and burnout symptoms among the nurses. Given the negative connection of work irrational beliefs with burnout among the nurses, the medical centres should ensure nurses benefit from psychological interventions to eliminate irrational beliefs and burnout issues linked to work.
