Abstract

This study sought  to develop a religion addiction scale using a cross-sectional design with 74 participants from an online WhatsApp group. The analysis showed that most items met the .30 correlation value requirement, indicating high reliability. The scale demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = .97), making it a reliable tool for assessing religious addiction. Results showed that younger participants were more likely to exhibit religious addiction, while gender and religious affiliation did not significantly impact scores. Muslims had slightly higher scores than Christians, but the difference was not statistically significant. The study recommends using this scale to measure religious addiction, providing a valuable tool for researchers and clinicians.

Abstract

Healthcare workers experience multifaceted mental health issues due to the nature of their work. Some studies have investigated predictors of mental health with varied results. In Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria, this study looked at the moderating effects of work-family conflict self-efficacy (WFCSC) on the association between work-family conflict and mental health among healthcare professionals. The study adopted cross-sectional survey design while purposive sampling technique was used to select three state hospitals in Akure metropolis. Three hypotheses were tested through the use of zero-order correlation and three-step hierarchical multiple regression analysis on data obtained from 201 healthcare workers using validated scales. All hypotheses were accepted at p < .05 level of significance. The result indicated that work-family conflict significantly predicted mental health among study participants.  Also, the result revealed that WFCSE significantly predicted mental health among healthcare workers. Finally, the result showed that WFCSE significantly moderated the relationship between work-family conflict and mental health among healthcare workers). The study found that among study participants, WFCSE is a powerful predictor and modifier of mental health. Consequently, it is advised that management offer mental health support services to employees in order to lessen the detrimental impact that work-family conflict self-efficacy has on mental health outcomes.
