Module 06: Critical Thinking Assignment
Critical Thinking Assignment: Create an Annotated Bibliography
This Critical Thinking assignment builds on the assignment from Module 4.
Create an Annotated Bibliography, writing a two-to-three-paragraph appraisal of each article from the 10 references you gathered for the Module 4 Critical Thinking Assignment. There should be a title page and then these sources should be listed according to APA 7th edition guidelines excluding the reference page. Each individual annotation should be followed by the corresponding appraisal. Look for relevant literature on a topic of interest to you paying attention to the methods of collecting and analyzing data and ethical research practices.
This is an opportunity to practice synthesizing the author’s words. Do not use quotes; rather, put the author’s ideas into your own words. Take as many pages as needed to provide summaries for each of your articles.

Research on Mental Health
Introduction
An individual’s mental health forms an essential foundation for their overall wellbeing, as their mental state significantly impacts their welfare. It involves communal, mental,
and emotional aspects (Baffsky et al., 2023). It is pivotal in deciding an individual’s quality of
life and overall public performance. The significance of mental health has received more
notice in recent years. Growing initiatives are being taken to de-stigmatize mental diseases
and inspire general mental health. This overview aims to grasp mental health and highlight its
numerous facets thoroughly. It also emphasizes the social concerns related to mental health
and the importance of solving them.
Reasons for Selecting Each Reference
The article by Baffsky et al. (2023) focuses on implementing preventative programs
for kids in educational settings, addressing a crucial part of mental health. The systematic
review investigates practical methods for implementing research-based interventions in
educational settings. The article by Halvorsen et al. (2023) satisfies the critical requirement
for reliable and consistent measures of mental health issues. It concentrates on young people
with intellectual disability. It provides information on the difficulties and developments in
evaluating mental health in this at-risk demographic. It helps with better mental health
support and treatment.
The article by Kenebayeva et al. (2022) explores the effects of organizational
elements and stress on the mental health of women teachers in Kazakhstan during the preCOVID-19 and COVID-19 periods in Central Asia. According to the study, the pandemic
made women teachers more anxious and depressed, particularly in urban areas. The article by
Ko (2019) discusses how Zhuangzi’s philosophy, notably the idea of self-adaptation, might be
applied to problems with mental health, including frustration. The study examines how this
3
age-old philosophy might provide modern people, especially university students, with
enduring and beneficial coping skills.
The article by Kush et al. (2022) compares the mental health results of teachers with
those of people in other professions, addressing the understudied topic of teachers’ mental
health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study’s conclusions offer insightful information
about teachers’ mental health during a trying time directly related to discussing mental health
in educational contexts. The article by Moore et al. (2019) uses latent profile analysis (LPA)
to isolate different mental health subtypes in high school pupils and assess their structural
stability over three years. The study examines the relationships between these subtypes and
social-emotional experiences, self-reported grades, well-being, and distress.
The article by Naff et al. (2022) thoroughly reviews the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects
on PK–12 youth’s mental health by combining the most recent findings from 104 empirical
investigations. It draws attention to the impact’s many facets, such as disruptions, caregiver
influence, elevated stress and anxiety, varying effects depending on demographics, and both
effective and ineffective coping mechanisms. The article by Pervez et al. (2021) explores the
frequently disregarded mental health problem among Ph.D. management students in
academia. The study evaluates the prevalence of sadness, anxiety, and impostor syndrome
among these students.
The article by Watson et al. (2022) examines how school social workers (SSWs) view
trauma and mental health in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak and the reopening of the
schools. It clarifies the critical function of SSWs in attending to young people’s mental health
needs during trying times. Finally, the article by Zhang & Zang (2022) looks at how the
marriage status of adult children affects the mental health of elderly parents in an aging
population. The study clarifies this association by considering variances due to gender,
geography, and education using data from CHARLS and PSM methods.

Conclusion
In conclusion, maintaining a balanced and sound mental state is indispensable in
achieving wellness and prosperity. Numerous undesirable results can result from poor mental
health. This involves a decline in productivity, a decline in relationships, and a reduction in
quality of life. Unsettled mental well-being matters can evolve into more severe conditions
and hold profound unfavorable influences on physical condition. Finally, families,
communities, and society at large may be impacted by mental health issues. There have been
initiatives to increase understanding of mental health’s value and lessen stigma. Moreover,
this program has emphasized the importance of improved access to mental health treatments.
