Abstract

Stress, anxiety and depression are among youth mental health issues that are on the rise all over the world, but access rates to traditional counselling services are still limited due to stigma, cost, and geographical issues. The study used quantitative survey design focusing on the youths in the state of Anambra in Nigeria. The virtual method was used to collect data through Google Forms, which ensured convenience and anonymity. A questionnaire in a structured form that included a four-point Likert scale was used to measure perceptions of social media counselling on dimensions of accessibility, confidentiality, professional involvement and mental health support. The questionnaire was confirmed by expert review and pilot test. Systematic compilation, coding and preparation of responses were done to undergo statistical analysis, with ethical concerns and privacy of the participants being considered in the research process. According to the study, female youths (69.7 ) were the majority in the sample, as males (30.3‛) followed, and 26.7 did not have gender data. There is a high perception of social media counselling as being extremely accessible and thought to involve youth engagement although there were low ratings of professional involvement and information reliability. Social media counselling is a proven method of supporting youth mental health, as it helps manage stress, anxiety, and personal challenges, as well as encourages emotional support. However, awareness-making is minimal. The correlation was found to be strong (r=0.664, p= <0.01) and showed that the more youths engage in social media counselling, the better their mental health outcomes were, which supports the idea that this intervention can be helpful to them. The results suggest that social media counselling is an accessible, flexible, and supportive source of mental health advice for youths, and thus it has the potential to supplement traditional services.

Abstract

Corruption and a lack of integrity pose significant challenges to the credibility and effectiveness of educational institutions. These issues undermine academic standards, erode public trust, and can have long-term negative effects on societal development. In response to these pervasive problems, this study investigated the effectiveness of values-based education and ethics-focused curricula as tools for tackling corruption and fostering integrity in tertiary institutions in Anambra State. The study used a quantitative survey to examine the impact of values-based education on ethics and corruption within tertiary institutions in Anambra State. A sample of 140 students was selected through stratified random sampling. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire with a 4-point Likert scale. The survey measured perceptions on the role of values-based education, the manifestation of corruption, and the influence of ethics curricula and policies. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS, employing the Chi-Square Test of Independence, directional measures like Lambda, and symmetric measures like Cramer's V to determine associations between variables. Findings revealed a significant, positive relationship between values-based education and promoting ethical behavior among students. However, the study failed to find a statistically significant association between corruption's direct impact on teaching or the influence of broad ethical policies. The results suggest that while direct educational interventions are effective, the implementation and enforcement of institutional policies may require further investigation. The study recommends that future research use mixed-methods to gain a more comprehensive understanding of these dynamics.
