The “Wake-Up Call”: Understanding sleep difficulties in Singapore’s Adolescents and facilitators and barriers to implementation of a sleep intervention programme
The primary aim is to explore the experiences and perceptions of adolescents and parents to identify the facilitators and barriers to the implementation of a sleep wellness programme. The secondary aim is to explore the nature of sleep difficulties in local adolescents across age ranges, academic and socio-economic backgrounds. This qualitative research project will be conducted through individual semi-structured interviews with adolescents 10-17 years old and focus group discussions for parents with adolescents. Data will be analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings will be used to guide the design of an effective and sustainable school and community-based sleep wellness programme catered for local adolescents.
Navigating Online Psychology Learning Amidst COVID-19: Examining the Role of Academic Resilience, Self-Efficacy, and Social Support
The International Conference on Psychology Learning and Teaching (PLAT-2024) focuses on the challenges and issues related to psychology learning and how they affect the mental health and well-being of students. Our research is closely aligned with the conference theme and will offer an excellent opportunity to showcase our research and foster future collaboration. We examined how social support, academic resilience, and self-efficacy can affect online psychology learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicate that a strong online learning platform that offers social support and develops students' academic self-efficacy can enhance academic resilience.
