Abstract

The study utilized a correlation research design and employed the Simple Random Sampling Technique to select 100 counselors. Data were gathered using scales developed by Cameron, Berling, and Kataria, which respectively measured Communication Skills (CSS), Time Management Skills (TMS), and Effective Service Delivery Skills (ESDS). Statistical analyses included Pearson Product-Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Multiple Regression, with a significance level set at 0.05. Results indicated a significant positive correlation between communication skills and effective service delivery (r = 0.64, df = 198, p 0.05), as well as between time management and effective service delivery (r = 0.64, df = 198, p 0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant combined contribution of communication skills and time management to effective service delivery (Adjusted R^2 = 0.59, df = 2/97, F = 71.13, p 0.05). Communication skills (β = 0.47) and time management (β = 0.46) both made significant relative contributions to effective service delivery among counselors.

Abstract

Teachers are one of the most valuable human resources in a school system. The strengths and quality of any educational system are heavily reliant on the efforts of its teachers. It is commonly known that teaching is one of the most stressful jobs in the world. Teachers tend to view aspects of their profession that are hazardous to their health. The school system in Kwara State has lately experienced significant modifications. Nonetheless, despite numerous reforms and advances over the years, Kwara teachers continue to face stressful working conditions when compared to other jobs. Numerous studies have demonstrated that teachers’ physical and mental health might suffer as a result of excessive stress. It has been claimed that teachers who have a lower quality of life live shorter lives. School teachers must have a high quality of life to train good students. Any fault or flaw in teachers' quality of life might have an impact on their job performance. As a result, the purpose of this study is to look at teachers' quality of life in Kwara State secondary schools, as well as the consequences of counselling. As a result, the report proposed instructors be provided additional assistance in improving their quality of life and well-being.

Abstract

Smartphone addiction has become an increasingly pressing issue among university students globally, with undergraduates in Oyo State, Nigeria, exhibiting similar patterns of excessive smartphone use. The proliferation of mobile technologies and social media platforms has contributed to maladaptive behaviours that negatively impact students’ academic performance, mental health, and social relationships. This paper investigates the growing concern of smartphone addiction among undergraduate populations in Oyo State and emphasises the urgent need for effective psychological interventions. The primary aim of this paper is to explore and recommend counselling therapeutic approaches that can help mitigate smartphone addiction and promote healthier technology usage among students. Employing a narrative literature review method, this research synthesises findings from empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and global counselling practices to comprehensively understand the issue. Findings from the literature reveal that multiple factors, including psychological stress, low self-esteem, peer influence, and the constant availability of mobile applications, influence smartphone addiction. The review identifies counselling strategies such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) as practical therapeutic approaches. The paper concluded that the importance of integrating evidence-based counselling methods into institutional support systems lies in addressing smartphone addiction. The paper contributes to the growing discourse on digital wellness. It offers a framework for educators, counsellors, and policymakers seeking to promote mental health and academic success among undergraduates in Nigeria.
