Abstract

Severe mental health disorders remain a global concern due to delayed treatment and the lack of optimal integration between pharmacological and psychosocial interventions, particularly regarding limited understanding of the appropriate role and timing of counseling in supporting long-term recovery. This study aims to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize the role and timing of counseling interventions. A qualitative approach with a conceptual–integrative design in the form of a position paper was employed. The study examined 45 scientific and policy documents, including peer-reviewed journal articles, clinical practice guidelines, reports from global health organizations, and empirical studies on pharmacological and psychosocial interventions. Data were collected through a document analysis method using a structured document analysis matrix as the research instrument, developed based on intervention focus, counseling timing, and recovery outcomes. Data analysis was conducted using thematic and comparative analysis to identify patterns, relationships, and conceptual gaps within the literature. The findings indicate that early and continuous counseling following pharmacological stabilization is more effective in enhancing psychosocial functioning and supporting long-term recovery. The timing and continuity of counseling are key elements in managing severe mental disorders, highlighting the need for early detection, multidisciplinary collaboration, and adaptive counseling models.

Abstract

Although the National Youth Service Corps (N.Y.S.C.) program is designed to improve the employability of college graduates, many members still exhibit low employability skills and struggle to adapt to the demands of the workforce. This raises questions about the extent to which psychological factors such as self-efficacy, achievement motivation, and emotional intelligence can predict the employability skills of N.Y.S.C. members in Kwara State, Nigeria. The purpose of this study was to analyze and determine the extent to which psychological factors such as self-efficacy, achievement motivation, and emotional intelligence can predict employability skills among N.Y.S.C. members. A correlational research design was adopted, involving 250 participants selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using three standardized instruments: the Career Adaptability Scale (CAS, r = 0.82), the Self-Efficacy Scale (SES, r = 0.73), and the Employability Skills Scale (ESS, r = 0.59). Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression were used to analyze the data, with hypotheses tested at a significance level of 0.05. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between career adaptability and employability skills (r = 0.64, p < 0.05), and between self-efficacy and employability skills (r = 0.64, p < 0.05). The combined predictive effect of both factors was significant (Adjusted R² = 0.59, F(2,97) = 71.13, p < 0.05), with career adaptability (β = 0.47) and self-efficacy (β = 0.46) contributing significantly. In conclusion, psychological factors such as self-efficacy, achievement motivation, and emotional intelligence were shown to play an important role in predicting and enhancing employability skills of N.Y.S.C members.
