Diagnostic Accuracy of PID‐5‐BF for Screening Personality Disorders: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Clinical and Nonclinical Samples

Background: Awareness of youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services (YFSRHS) is an important starting point for enabling young people to identify and seek appropriate sexual and reproductive health information and care. However, awareness of these services may vary across settings, including higher education institutions. Objective: To determine the level of awareness of YFSRHS among undergraduate students at Saint Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT), Malimbe Campus. Methods: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate students at SAUT Malimbe Campus. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire. Of 109 questionnaires distributed, 108 completed questionnaires were included in the analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize students’ awareness and reported sources of information. Results: Of the 108 respondents, 96 (88.9%) reported having heard of YFSRHS, while 12 (11.1%) had not. Social media was the most frequently reported source of information (44.0%), followed by friends or peers (41.0%) and health facilities (36.0%). University programmes and posters or advertisements were reported less frequently. Conclusion: Most respondents had heard of YFSRHS, with social media and peer networks serving as prominent information channels. Strengthening accurate information through these channels, alongside university-based communication, may help address the awareness gap among students who remain unreached.

زمینه: آگاهی از خدمات سلامت جنسی و باروری جوان‌پسند (YFSRHS) نقطه شروع مهمی برای توانمندسازی جوانان در شناسایی و جستجوی اطلاعات و مراقبت‌های مناسب سلامت جنسی و باروری است. با این حال، آگاهی از این خدمات ممکن است در بافتارهای مختلف، از جمله مؤسسات آموزش عالی، متفاوت باشد. هدف: تعیین سطح آگاهی از خدمات YFSRHS در میان دانشجویان کارشناسی دانشگاه سنت آگوستین تانزانیا (SAUT)، پردیس مالیمبه. روش‌ها: یک مطالعه توصیفی مقطعی کمی در میان دانشجویان کارشناسی پردیس مالیمبه دانشگاه SAUT انجام شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه ساختاریافته و خودگزارشی جمع‌آوری شدند. از میان ۱۰۹ پرسشنامه توزیع شده، ۱۰۸ پرسشنامه تکمیل شده در تحلیل گنجانده شدند. از آمار توصیفی برای خلاصه‌سازی آگاهی دانشجویان و منابع اطلاعات گزارش‌شده استفاده شد. نتایج: از میان ۱۰۸ پاسخ‌دهنده، ۹۶ نفر (۸۸.۹٪) گزارش دادند که از YFSRHS شنیده‌اند، در حالی که ۱۲ نفر (۱۱.۱٪) چنین نبوده‌اند. رسانه‌های اجتماعی به عنوان پرکاربردترین منبع اطلاعات گزارش شد (۴۴.۰٪)، پس از آن دوستان یا همسالان (۴۱.۰٪) و مراکز بهداشتی (۳۶.۰٪) قرار داشتند. برنامه‌های دانشگاهی و پوسترها یا تبلیغات کمتر گزارش شدند. نتیجه‌گیری: بیشتر پاسخ‌دهندگان از YFSRHS شنیده بودند، به طوری که رسانه‌های اجتماعی و شبکه‌های همسالان به عنوان کانال‌های اطلاعاتی برجسته عمل می‌کردند. تقویت اطلاعات دقیق از طریق این کانال‌ها، همراه با ارتباطات مبتنی بر دانشگاه، ممکن است به رفع شکاف آگاهی در میان دانشجویانی که همچنان تحت پوشش قرار نگرفته‌اند، کمک کند.

Religious education is often expected to promote tolerance, but respect for religious difference does not necessarily ensure accurate understanding of religious others. This study examines how religious education policies in Indonesia and England emphasize different forms of cognitive tolerance. Using qualitative document analysis and comparative policy analysis, the study analyzes selected legal, curricular, and pedagogical documents through four components: Knowledge of Religious Others, Recognition of Internal Diversity, Critical Reflection, and Understanding Commonalities and Differences. Indonesian policy gives greater relative emphasis to understanding commonalities and differences within religion-specific formation, social harmony, and responsible citizenship. English policy gives greater emphasis to critical reflection and knowledge of religious and non-religious worldviews through shared enquiry. Recognition of Internal Diversity appears in similar proportions in both datasets, but it serves different curricular functions. The findings show differently configured pathways toward cognitive tolerance, combining the same cognitive components with different relative emphases and curricular purposes.

Character education is an important foundation for preparing preservice teachers. However, the internalization of moral values does not necessarily entail the ability to make ethical decisions in professional practice. This article aims to synthesize the conceptual relationships among character education, moral development, professional identity, and professional ethics among preservice teachers and formulate a framework for strengthening teacher education. The study employed an integrative literature review involving targeted searches for major theoretical works and scholarly articles on character education, moral reasoning, teachers’ professional ethics, and preservice teacher education. The literature was analyzed thematically by comparing theoretical foundations, research contexts, findings, and pedagogical implications. The synthesis indicates that the transition from personal character to professional ethics is a nonlinear process integrating five mechanisms: recognition of values and moral sensitivity, role modeling, reasoning through ethical dilemmas, guided reflection during field placements, and an institutional culture consistent with ethical values. The synthesis also identifies a gap between ethical knowledge and the ability to apply moral concepts explicitly when considering conflicts between values. These findings underscore the need for ethics education that connects an understanding of norms with reasoning practice and reflection on professional experiences. This article proposes a Character–Professional Ethics Transition Model linking value internalization, moral reasoning, professional identity formation, and accountable ethical action. In practical terms, the framework may guide the integration of learning based on ethical dilemmas, reflection on field placements, and the strengthening of institutional culture into preservice teacher education. The proposed model requires empirical testing, particularly through longitudinal research in Indonesian teacher education contexts.

Although physical activity enjoyment is associated with athletes’ psychological outcomes, the mechanisms underlying its relationship with mental well-being remain unclear. This study examined the mediating role of loneliness among athletes. A correlational survey design was employed. The participants consisted of 350 athletes selected through criterion sampling, including 178 females (Mage= 20.58 ± 1.99) and 172 males (Mage= 21.91 ± 4.88). Data were collected using the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale–Short Form, and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. Pearson correlation analysis and PROCESS Macro Model 4 mediation analysis were conducted, and indirect effects were tested using 5,000 bootstrap samples. Physical activity enjoyment was positively associated with mental well-being (r= .586, p< .01) and negatively associated with loneliness (a= −.196, p< .01). Loneliness was negatively associated with mental well-being (b= −.447, p< .01). The mediation analysis revealed a significant indirect effect of physical activity enjoyment on mental well-being through loneliness (indirect effect= .088, 95% CI [.026, .147]). These findings indicate that enjoyment of physical activity contributes to athletes’ mental well-being and that loneliness partially explains this relationship. The results emphasize the importance of considering social connectedness and psychological experiences in understanding athletes’ well-being.

Creativity is widely considered to be a core competency for learners and graduates in rapidly changing environments; personality research has identified two dispositions as relevant to creativity repeatedly: openness to experience (OE) and tolerance of ambiguity (TOA). This narrative review examined how OE, TOA and creativity are related (with particular attention to university undergraduates). The review clarifies the three constructs and their measures, summarizes evidence for OE–creativity, TOA–creativity and OE–TOA associations, compares theoretical accounts linking them together and proposes an integrative model in which TOA may explain how openness translates into creative thinking and achievement. Evidence for an OE–creativity link is substantial and comparatively consistent. Evidence for a TOA–creativity link is positive but less strong, relies heavily on self-report, and is concentrated in a small number of research groups. Formal tests of TOA as a mediator were not found. The review closes with methodological recommendations and a research agenda for undergraduate samples, including cross-cultural and longitudinal designs, and with implications for educators who wish to foster creativity as a student strength.
