    (2019-01) Ofole, N. M.
    Correlational design was adopted to investigate the relationship among adherence self- efficacy, interpersonal forgiveness and perceived social support on subjective-well-being of PLWHA in Akwa-Ibom state. Purposive sampling technique was used to select one hundred persons living with HIV and AIDS from the state chapter of Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria (NEPWHAN) made of fifty-six males and forty-four females with age ranging from 18-to 45 years and mean age of 31.5. They responded to four self-report measures. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC), t-test for independents samples and multiple regressions were utilised to analysis three questions. Results show that independent variables have linear relationship with the subjective well-being of respondents. Further, interpersonal forgiveness was most potent in predicting subjective well-being (fi = 0.464, t = 6.011, P < 0.05) followed by perceived social support (fi = 0.233, t =3.898, P < 0.05), while the least was adherence self- efficacy (P = 0.053, t = 0.707, P >0.05). It was concluded that subjective well-being is associated with personal and socio-psychological factors. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings were discussed.

    (2018) Adeyemi, A. O.
    In recent tunes, it has been observed that poor knowledge on health state and status has led to high morbidity and mortality. There is prevalence in poor health-information knowledge, ignorance, increased STIS, HIV/AID, risky health behaviour, abortion and the like. The danger posed by poor health knowledge motivated an investigation of the health information-seeking behaviour of adolescents using conscientiousness, self-efficacy and social support as predictors. The study adopted a correlational study with a sample of 200 adolescents randomly sampled from Ibadan North local Government Area of Oyo State. Four reliable measuring instruments were used to collect data. Three research questions raised analysed were using Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. The result showed that conscientiousness, self-efficacy and social support positively correlated with health information-seeking behaviour. The regression analysis showed that the three factors jointly accounted/or 42.2% of the total variance in adolescent information-seeking behaviour. Social support was found to be the strongest predictor followed by self-efficacy and conscientiousness. Among others recommendations, parents, teachers and significant individuals are enjoined to help students out with their demand to know much about their health status. School counsellors are admonished to help students to build their self-efficacy to help them to he bald enough to seek for health information. The government should also employ school counselors who will assist students to build their personality (conscientiousness) to enhance self-control on their health issues. This might go a long u-«v in reducing self-prescription and misuse of drug
