    Psychological characteristics of health-related quality of life among retired elite athletes in Nigeria
    (2021) Jaiyeoba, M. O.; Ogunsanya, J. O.
    Retirement from sport is inevitable and unavoidable. It is a major source of threat to the health-related quality of life of retired elite athletes especially among who refute involvement in adequate planning and preparation for life after sports. The purpose of this study was to examine psychological characteristics of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among retired elite athletes in Oyo State, Nigeria. Two hypotheses were tested. The study employed descriptive survey research design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select one hundred (100) (Male = 63, Female = 37) retired elite athletes. The standardized questionnaires of Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), Centre for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-DS) and the Short-Form 8 (SF-8) Health Survey were used for collection of data from the respondents. The reliability coefficient of the instrument used are 0.86, 0.84 and 0.88 respectively. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics of frequency counts, percentages and multiple regression. The result of the study showed that, there is significant joint contributions of psychological characteristics on HRQoL (F(2, 97) = 107.581, R = .74, R2 = .686, Adj R2 = .686, p<0.05) with 68.6% of degree of variance. Also, there is significant relative contributions of psychological characteristics [athletic-identity (p = -0.079, t = 0.41, p < .05) and depression (p = -.297, t = -1.521, p<0.05)] on HRQoL. Based on the findings, it was concluded that psychological intervention programme that promotes HRQoL and prepares retired elite athletes for life after sports should be developed and inculcated into the elite athletes' programme before retirement, while regular visitation to psychological and mental health care centres for optimum advise on health-related wellbeing should carried out by the retired elite athletes

    Psychological consequences of sport injury on mental well-being of elite athletes in Ibadan, Nigeria
    (2021-06) Jaiyeoba, M. O.
    Injuries are an unavoidable and inevitable part of sport participation. Some injures car be managed easily, while some disrupt and impose a threat on the mental health of the athletes. Some injuries heal on time, linger and some lead to transitioning from the sport. Either minor or major, an injury sustained does not only affect the physical well-being of the athletes but also their mental well-being. Little concern is given to the mental aspect of the outcomes of psychological consequences of sport injury. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the psychological consequences of sport injury on the mental well-being of elite athletes in Ibadan, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was employed. The participants were a hundred (100) (Male=63, Female=37) elite athletes of Oyo State Sports Council purposively sampled from various sports. The instruments used for data collection were: The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Centre for Epidemiologie Studies-Depression Scale (CES-DS), Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), Modified Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (MRULS), Sport Injury Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and The Short-Form 8 (SF-8) Health Survey. The data collected were analysed using multiple regression to test the hypotheses. Results of the study showed that there was a significant joint contribution of psychological consequences of sport injury on mental well-being of elite athletes (F (5.94) = 110.272, R = 924, R2 =.854. Adjusted R2 =.851, p<0.05). Psychological consequences factors of sports injury of stress (β = -.667. t= -15.007), depression (β = -.250. t= -6.852), isolation (β = -.197, t= -6.065) and fear of re-injury (β = -.210, t= -4.152) were significance while loss of identity (β= -.050, t= -1.316, p>0.05) was not significant. It was therefore recommended that athletes, coaches, support staff among others should be educated on symptoms of mental health and coping resources to be employed and also, optimum mental health care supports should be rendered to the athletes

    Biofeedback technology for stress management and self-regulation of athletes
    (2022) Jaiyeoba, M. O.
    With present technological advancement, the construct of stress management and self- regulation has received a new approach as this affects both psychological and physiological indices of athletes during training, competition, injury recovery and psychological wellbeing. The thought of biofeedback technology that makes use of instruments (electronic devices with electrodes and sensors) to assess, monitor, and feed psycho physiological information back to a person which is gaining recognition is to build a more complete tool to improve athlete’s performance and psychological wellbeing rather than replacing the traditional PST. In this perspective, the paper examined brief historical background of biofeedback in sports, meaning of biofeedback and biofeedback training, biofeedback modalities, stress management, self-regulation, biofeedback technology for stress management and self-regulation, two training models of Wingate 5-Step Approach (W5SA) and the Learning-Modification- Application (LMA) Approach. The author suggested that, sport scientists, sport psychologists and coaches could adopt biofeedback technology as a means to manage competitive stress and improve athlete’s self-regulation for great performance and optimal Health

    (2022) Jaiyeoba, O. M.
    Organizational stress poses a lot of threat on student-athletes unique population and causes numerous undesirable consequences, which affect their well-being, academic, personal life and sport performance. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of basic psychological needs on organisational stress among student- athletes in Nigeria. This study employed correlational descriptive research design. The participants were 200 student-athletes that participated in 2022 NUGA held in Lagos, Nigeria. Convenient sampling method was used to select the sample size. The participants completed Basic Need Satisfaction in Sport Scale (BNSSS) and the Organizational Stressor Indicator for Sport Performers (OSI-SP) to collect data. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and multiple regression analysis. The results of the study showed that there was significant positive correlation between autonomy and organisational stress (r=0.181, p<0.05); relatedness and organisational stress (r=O.204, p<0.05), Regression analysis showed that joint contributions of basic psychological needs accounted for about 53% of variance influencing dependent variable. Relatedness was only found to have relative significant contribution on organisational stress. It can therefore be concluded that fulfilling and satisfying the basic psychological needs of student-athletes can reduce organisational stress and enhance performance and over all well-being

    INSTITUTIONAL AND STUDENT FACTORS AS PREDICTORS OF LEARNING OUTCOMES IN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROGRAMME AMONG TRAINEE MIDWIVES IN SOUTH-WESTERN NIGERIA
    (2020-02) UPONI, M.I
    Reproductive health is one of the core programmes in midwifery education necessary for the competency development of the trainee midwife. Records have shown that trainee midwives' performance in Reproductive Health Programme (RHP) is on the decline in schools of midwifery across southwestern Nigeria. This has become worrisome and a major concern to nursing professionals and practitioners. Previous studies focused largely on curriculum development, availability of resource materials and tutor–related factors with less emphasis on institutional and student factors. This study, therefore, was designed to examine the institutional factors (Curriculum Content Knowledge-CCK, Continuous Professional Development-CPD and Learning Environment-LE) and student factors (Academic Support Seeking-ASS, Academic Self-efficacy-AS and Self-regulated Learning-SrL) as predictors of learning outcomes (knowledge, attitude to and skills) in RHP among trainee midwives in southwestern Nigeria. Bandura's Social Learning Theory provided the framework, while the survey design was adopted. The purposive sampling technique was used to select seven accredited Post-basic Schools of Midwifery (PbSM) in the South-west (Eleyele, Ogbomoso, Ado-Ekiti, Ilesa, Osogbo, Yaba and Idi-araba). The 30 nurse tutors and 228 final year trainee midwives were enumerated. Teachers (r=0.92) and Students (r=0.86) questionnaires were used. Knowledge of Reproductive Health (r=0.70), Skills Acquisition of Reproductive Health (r=0.70) and Attitude towards Reproductive Health (r=0.86)Tests were used. Focus group discussions were held with some trainee midwives in each PbSM. Quantitative data were analysed using Multiple regression at 0.05 level of significance while qualitative data were content analysed. The students' age was 27.74 ± 5.07 years; 73.3% had diploma certificate in nursing education, while 26.7% had first and higher degrees. The nurse tutors adopted teacher-centered teaching methods: practical demonstration (96.7%) and lecturing (90.0%), while modern teaching approaches were rarely used: seminar presentation (23.0%), simulation/Internet use (20.0%) and tutorial (22.0%). There were significant joint predictions of institutional factors on attitude (F(3;224)=17.02; Adj. R2=0.18); knowledge (F(3;224)=15.23; Adj. R2=0.16) and skills (F(3;224)=12.57; Adj. R2=0.13); accounting for 18.0%, 16.0% and13.0% of variance of reproductive health. There was a significant joint prediction of student factors on knowledge (F(3;224)=71.03; Adj. R2=0.48); skills (F(3;224)=55.83; Adj. R2=0.42) and attitude (F(3;224)=9.02; Adj. R2=0.10); accounting for 48.0%, 42.0% and 10.0% of variance of reproductive health. The CCK (β=0.39, β=0.34, β=0.37); CPD (β=0.04, β=-0.04, β=0.02) and LE (β=0.08, β=0.26, β=0.06) had relative contributions to knowledge, attitude to and skills of reproductive health, respectively. The ASS (β=0.04, β=0.13, β=0.10); AS (β=0.48, β=0.34, β=0.36) and SrL (β=0.51, β=0.15, β=0.50) had relative contributions to knowledge, attitude to and skills of reproductive health, respectively. The learning environment lacked modern facilities for training. The trained nurse tutors were inadequate, while there were insufficient instructional materials and poor environment for teaching and learning. Curriculum content knowledge, continuous professional development, learning environment, academic support seeking, academic self-efficacy and self-regulated learning determined the knowledge of, attitude to and skills of reproductive health among trainee midwives in south-western, Nigeria. Therefore, there is need to give attention to modern teaching approaches, conducive environment and adequate instructional materials by the heads of schools of midwifery.
