Single Parent Women's Strategy in Providing Children's Education Needs: A Case Study

While there has been considerable interest in the problems of single parent families, no study has yet determined if the problems are due to increased risk of specific psychiatric disorders in single parents as compared to their married counterparts. Data collected as part of the National Institute of Mental Health Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) Project are presented to compare the psychiatric as well as economic and social functioning of single vs. married parent women ages 18–44, based on a probability sample of members of the greater New Haven community. The major finding between groups is their relative similarity in psychiatric as well as social functioning. The major difference is economic. Single parents, both Black and White, more frequently are less educated and poorer. While many are on welfare, single compared to married female parents are more likely to be working and to report insufficient income to meet their needs. There are no appreciable differences in social contacts, use of health services or six-month prevalence rates of psychiatric disorders including major depression, alcohol or drug abuse. The data suggest that the problems faced by single parent women and their children may be a reflection of poverty and stress in families and not of psychiatric disorders or poor social relations in mothers.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to study the work experience and career adjustment experience of single-parent women who experienced an unanticipated transition through narrative exploration, and to provide implications for career counseling for single-parent women.
 Methods Three single parent women who underwent an unexpected transition were selected as research participants and in-depth interviews were conducted using a narrative inquiry method. The data collection period was from July 2022 to December 2022, and preliminary interviews were conducted with two research participants, followed by three interviews and additional interviews with each research participant. According to Connelly's (2000) narrative inquiry procedure, the research participants' transition experience, work experience, and career adjustment were categorized into key themes and analyzed to reconstruct the narrative.
 Results As a single parent woman who underwent an unexpected turn, the narrative about work experience and career adjustment was a turning point through the story of overcoming ‘like a salmon going upside down in a river’, and the time of struggling ‘in search of lost time’ that had not yet been given meaning. It was a journey through which he became the main character and walked the ‘rugged road I made’.
 Conclusions The personal justification of the narrative about the work experience and career adaptation of single parent women who underwent an unanticipated transition is that they form a new identity and newly recognize the meaning of life through work, and the practical justification is that giving meaning to work and career adaptation are important, and through this to achieve inner or personal growth.

Numerous studies have addressed the issue of "self-stigma" among divorced single-parent women. However, there is a scarcity of quantitative data available on this subject. Moreover, while self-esteem is a crucial factor throughout life, it has been extensively studied in the context of "children" from single-parent families, but not from the perspective of parents themselves. To address this gap, the present study aimed to explore the relationship between self-stigma, self-esteem, and mental health in 347 divorced, single-parent women. The online survey recruited participants randomly, with a specific focus on single mothers who were divorced and had more than one child under the age of 18. The analysis involved utilizing SPSS 25.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA) and PROCESS Macro Version 4.1 (Model 4) to conduct descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, reliability assessment, correlation analysis, and mediating analysis. The findings revealed that self-esteem played a partial mediating role in the relationship between self-stigma and mental health. In other words, higher levels of self-stigma among divorced, single-parent women were associated with poorer mental health outcomes. Additionally, the study discovered that engaging in more self-stigma was linked to lower self-esteem and increased mental health distress. These results underscore the significance of internal factors, such as self-stigma and self-esteem, and highlight their relevance in formulating policies aimed at supporting divorced single-parent women. Policymakers should take these factors into account to develop effective strategies to aid this specific group.

Sex education is not about supporting children to have sexual relations but explaining the natural function of sex as part of themselves and the consequences if misused. Parents are the main actors in children's education. Parents serve as the primary educational facilitators for children, as they are the most suitable individuals to impart sex education during early childhood and adolescence. Parents no longer need to doubt the importance of sex education from an early age. Eliminate the feeling of awkwardness that exists and start building sensitivity to the need for sex education in children. The aim of this research is to analyze the role of parents in providing sex education for teenagers and to analyze the inhibiting factors in providing sex education for teenagers. This research type utilizes naturalistic phenomenology and employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection methods in this research used interviews, observation, and documentation. Next, to check the validity of the data, the author uses triangulation techniques. Then, to analyze the data, the author divides it into three components: data reduction, data display (data presentation), and drawing conclusions (data verification). The research findings reveal that parents at MTs Tarbiyatul Wathon Campurejo Panceng Gresik provide sex education to teenagers; however, despite this, some children continue to engage in deviant behavior. Some parents still maintain a taboo against imparting sex education to teenagers. Furthermore, the obstacles to implementing sex education for teenagers include parents' lack of knowledge about sex education, their inability to communicate it effectively, their lack of openness with children, and the limited intensity of meetings between children and parents. Parents coordinate well between religious leaders, community leaders, and village health workers, such as village midwives or village orderlies, regarding sex education for teenagers through socialization. Try to prevent it by giving warnings and punishments if children do deviant things, accompanied by an understanding so they don't do it again.

The purpose of this study was to comprehend the need for incorporating death education within the curriculum of undergraduate nursing students and to assess the factors that impact the desire for such education. We enlisted undergraduate nursing students from several nursing colleges located in the central and west region of China. Undergraduate students who fulfilled the eligibility criteria between January and February 2021 were chosen to participate. Data were collected via an online platform called Questionnaire Star. The survey encompassed a general information questionnaire and a scale for assessing the need for education on the topic of death. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 20.0 software, while multivariate stepwise regression was employed for more complex analysis. Statistical significance was indicated when the p-value was below 0.05, and high statistical significance was noted when the p-value fell below 0.01. We designed a descriptive quantitative approach to investigate the need for death education and its associated factors. The research involved 907 undergraduate nursing students from the central and west region of China. The data collection was done through the Questionnaire Star platform. Following the collection of completed surveys, individuals displaying contradictory responses were omitted. Out of 911 surveys disseminated, 907 were successfully collected, resulting in a recovery rate of 99.6%. Among the participants, 769 identified as female, constituting 84.8% of the total, while 138 identified as male, making up 15.2%. The survey findings indicated that factors such as residency, parental educational history and exposure to hospice care education significantly impacted the need for death education among undergraduate nurses (p < 0.05). Among students pursuing a nursing degree at the undergraduate level, there was a pronounced need for education related to the topic of death. Offering such education to these students is essential, as it helps cultivate a proper understanding of death. This, in turn, contributes to enhancing the overall quality of patient care throughout their life journey. A total of 907 nursing undergraduates from central and western China participated in the questionnaire.

However, several traditionally useful variables-respondent's age, education, employment status, and income-are not significant predictors. In addition, length of time at current address, travel time to work, structure type, number of bedrooms, and personal expectations for the future are also insignificant.
