    STRESSFUL LIFE EVENTS AND MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES AMONG HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF AGENCY AND PERCEIVED SELF-EFFICACY
    (An-Najah National University, 2025-05-08) Egbaria, Yasmeen
    This descriptive corrective study investigated how the incidence of stressful life affects the results of mental health between Palestinian health service providers (HCP), especially flexibility (concept here as an agency) and alleged even as arbitrators. The focus on efficiency. Research also investigated demographic variables gender, age and monthly income roles to provide a broad understanding of mental health factors in this population. A selection of 200 health professionals (96 men and 104 women) were prepared from several hospitals in Palestine, where data was collected through both the survey administration and the online questionnaire. Conclusions revealed a statistically important positive correlation between the events of stressful life and adverse mental health consequences, including depression, anxiety and stress. In particular, the correlation coefficients of 0.775 were set for both depression and stress, and for anxiety 0.696, the strong relationship between stress rational events and the frequency of psychological crisis emphasized. Between correlation coefficient -0.389 and 0.883, which highlights the strength of the proposed model. The study also demonstrated the important role of the agency and alleged self -efficiency as an arbitration variable: high levels of both constructions reduced the harmful effects of stressful life events on mental health results significantly. For example, the negative correlation of -0.485 between self -efficiency and depression emphasizes that those who strongly believe in their ability to handle challenges show low frequencies of symptoms of depression. Analysis of demographic factors made no statistically significant difference in stressful life events, mental health results or self-efficiency based on gender or monthly income. However, age appeared as a remarkable factor in flexibility, where old health professionals showed high flexibility levels. This discovery corresponds to theoretical models as it suggests that individuals may develop more sophisticated copy strategies and emotional regulatory skills over time. In total, these results correspond to the model for the transaction of stress and intercourse (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984), which suggests that stress reactions take shape by evaluating both external stresses and individuals with available sexual resources. Recent empirical tasks (García-Izquierdo, 2018); (Mealer, 2014) further confirm protective function of flexibility and self-efficiency in high pressure professional environments. The current study emphasizes the imperative to design the flexibility of health professionals and design interventions that design self-efficiency, which provided their ability to buffer the harmful effects of broader stress. Investments in such strategies can not only promote psychological welfare for health professionals, but can also increase the general quality of distributed care in a high tin clinical environment.
