Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: This study examined the effectiveness of rational emotive behavior coaching (REBC) on occupational stress and work ability in a sample of electronics workshop instructors in Nigeria. METHODS: A pretest-posttest control group design was used. The participants were 108 electronics workshop instructors in technical colleges in the south-east of Nigeria who met the study inclusion criteria. Data were collected using 3 questionnaires and analyzed using a repeated measure analysis of variance and Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: REBC led to a significant reduction in occupational stress experienced by the electronics workshop instructors in the REBC group compared to their counterparts in the waitlist control group. Furthermore, the scores for occupation-related irrational beliefs of the instructors in the REBC group were significantly lower than those in the waitlist control group at the end of the coaching intervention. The work ability of the REBC group was significantly better than that of the waitlist control group. Finally, the effects in the REBC group were significantly sustained at 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: REBC is a time-efficient and solution-focused therapeutic modality for assisting occupationally stressed employees in a Nigerian setting. REBC can be used for improving and maintaining work ability of workers. The researchers hope that occupational health professionals and health counselors would extend this approach to tackle psychological issues limiting employees' effectiveness and performance in the Nigerian work environment and in other countries.

  • Previous studies have found that REBT is effective in improving conditions associated with negative thoughts such as job stress, burnout, and irrational beliefs.

    “Previous studies have also found that the rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) is effective in improving conditions associated with negative thoughts such as job stress, burnout, and irrational beliefs[9,10,13].”

    From Clinical benefits of rational-emotive stress management therapy for job burnout and dysfunctional distress of special education teachers (2020) · cites this paper as [13]

    The Discussion and Conclusion report that rational emotive behavior coaching (REBC), an approach adapted from REBT, reduced occupational stress and occupation-related irrational beliefs among electronics workshop instructors in Nigeria. The paper does not report an improvement in burnout, so it supports only part of the cited sentence. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • REBT is meant to assist clients to argue irrational beliefs and achieve adaptive and/or efficient beliefs associated with healthy living.

    “Hence, rational-emotive behavioral treatment is meant to therapeutically assist clients to argue irrational beliefs and achieve adaptive and/or efficient beliefs which are associated with healthy living[9,10,12-15,21].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
