An Overview of The Implementation Status and Development Path of China's Policy on The Integration of Medical Care and Elderly Care

At present, the aging trend of China's population is accelerating, but there is still a particular mismatch in the level of medical care for the aging trend. The medical team and rehabilitation are independent of each other. If you are sick, you have to go back and forth frequently between your family, hospital, and rehabilitation institution, which delays treatment and increases the financial burden on family members. The separation of medical care and rehabilitation has also led to many elderly patients who have recovered from serious illnesses or need long-term recuperation and will find various reasons to refuse to leave the hospital once they are admitted to the hospital. Therefore, the development of the integration of medical care and nursing needs to be accelerated. At present, several comparative paradigms of medical and elderly care integration models have initially formed in various parts of China: "institutional", "community", and "home" and other integrated medical and elderly care models. According to the research, in the process of practice, there are still imperfections in the integration of medical care and elderly care, such as supply and demand, service, supervision, and institutional cooperation, which can be improved by improving the supervision system, integrating medical care resources, standardizing industry standards, and cultivating service personnel.

Ancestral Kinship and the Origins of Ideology

AbstractFamilies are not only the first institution ever created, they are also, for most people, the first institution ever encountered. The preindustrial family structure, which was a function of local ecology and cooperation needs, instilled family members with different values, such as trust in strangers and respect for elders. These values passed through generations and, as we show in three studies, impact today's political attitudes and policies. First, using surveys of second-generation immigrants representing roughly 180 ethnicities living in 32 European countries, we show that the tighter kinship structure of a person's ancestors predicts right-wing cultural attitudes. Among those who are less engaged in politics, tighter ancestral kinship structure also predicts left-wing economic attitudes. In a second study, we control for country-level differences by comparing ethnic groups within countries and find that ancestral kinship strength predicts right-wing cultural attitudes but not left-wing economic attitudes. Finally, in a third study, we examine the policy implications of ancestral kinship. We show that stronger country-level ancestral kinship strength also increases anti-LGBT policies and welfare spending. Finally, we examine whether value systems link preindustrial kinship with modern political attitudes. In total, this work indicates that our political beliefs are rooted in the value systems and familial institutions created by our forebears.

Dialogical interaction between family and school: The content aspect

Introduction. The development of modern education is connected with the convergence of social institutions of family and school, involvement of parents in the educational process, and realization of the role and importance of education by parents. The harmonisation of family and school relations is possible if the development of educational relations is based on the principle of dialogue aimed at bringing together the interests of the subjects of education, elaboration of a unified educational strategy and identification of the common values and goals of education. In this regard, it is necessary to discuss a number of issues and problems that require promotion of dialogue between teachers and parents.Aim. The aim of this research is to determine the content of dialogical interaction between teachers and parents in the modern socio-cultural environment of the educational process and the directions of updating the psychological and pedagogical knowledge of parents.Methodology and research methods. To determine the content of the interaction between teachers and parents, the authors used theoretical provisions of philosophical anthropology about the essence of dialogue: the intention of dialogue, the «encounter» views in the process of dialogue and the openness of dialogue. An existential approach was applied to determine the value-semantic foundations of the co-existence of family and school.Results. This study has revealed educational needs of parents that consist in the promotion of dialogue with teachers on the problems of education and upbringing, relations between students in class and between students and teachers. It has also identified the problems of creation of conditions that improve moral and psychological well-being of a child at school, as well as the issues of a child’s development and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Parents view interaction with teachers as coordination of pedagogical attitudes, values and goals of education. The survey reveals the priorities of parents connected with the necessity of perception and comprehension of values and meanings of their own upbringing methods, and the need for enrichment of their psychological and pedagogical background with axiological and practice-focused components.Scientific novelty. The interaction of family and school is analysed in the context of dialogue between parents and teachers, who are subjects of educational relations. The educational choice of parents is connected with the assessment of the meaning of their own upbringing methods via the dialogue with teachers. The authors found that dialogue is a way of subjects’ interaction, which is characterized by mutuality due to their co-existence, incompleteness and openness and preservation of the dialogical nature in the process of interaction. Dialogical interaction between teachers and parents contributes to the development of the common existential educational values – love, freedom and responsibility, and collegiality.Practical significance. The results of the present study can be used by teachers to build a dialogical interaction between family and school. The content of the interaction between the family and the school will allow teachers to plan the topics of consultations, parent conferences, meetings and other forms of interaction.

Russian student family: Determinants of marriage

The birth rate reducing to the level that does not ensure even the simple reproduction of the population, which leads to problems in the economy and social sphere and to migration crises, is a challenge for many developed countries. The demographic and family policy measures aim at solving this problem, which is reflected, for instance, in the Russian National Security Strategy approved on July 2, 2021 by the Decree of the President: the increasing birth rate is declared a required condition for increasing the country’s population. In contemporary Russia, the age model of fertility has transformed: the spreading practice of postponing childbirth in the last fifteen years has led to an increase in the modal age of mothers by more than five years, which is a factor in the decline in fertility. One of the mechanisms that can change this trend but lacks the due attention is the institution of the student family. The study aims at identifying those factors that determine the marriage intentions of the student youth. The article is based on the quantitative analysis of the surveys data of the Rosstat and authors’ sociological research, including logistic models and the decision tree method, which allowed to conduct modeling and select factors to identify the determinants of student marriage. The modeling results revealed the role of the value-system structure of students and their parental family in the motivation for marriage and starting family life. One of the main conclusions of practical significance is the confirmed importance for the youth of marriage as such and as a key stage in the life path, which under the postponing childbirth and reducing birth rate determines the need for the state support for the student family. The results of the study can help to solve a complex demographic problem of the decline and aging of the birth rate, which requires systematic work to create an image of the happy student family and to introduce mechanisms for supporting it.

Elopement and its implications to a family system: a sociocultural perspective

ABSTRACT Elopement is described as an act that is against the religion, culture and social values of a society. Elopement can cause negative impacts to the individual, the family and society. This issue is commonly discussed from legal and religious perspectives, but not from sociocultural perspectives. This study employed an open-ended question on the perception of elopement among Malay couples. A social media platform, namely Facebook, was utilized as a platform for data collection. The data was analyzed using a thematic analysis. The themes that emerge from the analysis are ungratefulness and disobedience to the family, elopement as a beginning of a miserable life, legal complications, criminal behaviors, and blessings in marriage. This article provides a discussion of elopement from a social perspective and poses further research avenues for future studies. This study hopes to raise the topic of elopement as an important issue when dealing with cultural, religious and family institutions.

Contemporary Marriage in Cambodia.

Previous work has suggested that the drastic Khmer-Rouge-era changes to the family institution have not endured. Potentially more influential in the long term were the rapid socio-economic changes Cambodia underwent starting in the 1990s. We use four waves of the Cambodian Demographic and Health Surveys from 2000 to 2014 to document contemporary trends in marriage formation and dissolution. We find little change in the centrality of marriage, as both cohabitation and sex between unmarried partners remain quite rare. Marriage also continues to be nearly universal and early for women, but we find that the transition to self-arranged "love" marriages occurred earlier and faster than previously documented. A sign that parental endorsement may still matter though, marriage dissolution continues to be associated with spousal characteristics deemed undesirable by past generations. While higher among recent marriage cohorts, especially in the first year after marriage, levels of marriage dissolution remain comparatively low overall.

Coping Mechanism for Fathers’ Well-being

The COVID-19 pandemic affecting Malaysia and the world presents various challenges, pressures and negative impacts on various groups, including among fathers. Some fathers have lost their source of income, face pressures of working from home, managing their children and losing loved ones. This has affected their mental health and led to the erosion of the family institution in Malaysia. In addition, issues such as divorce, domestic violence and child abuse are at worrying levels. Therefore, this study sought to identify the level of stress among fathers during the COVID-19 pandemic, their main coping strategies, and the relationship between stress and coping strategies. This quantitative study employs a survey design involving 120 fathers in a district in Negeri Sembilan. Descriptive and inferential data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. This study found that the stress level among the participant was at a moderate level. Meanwhile, the emotional coping strategy (mean 29.3) represents an option used by them in adapting to problems faced during the pandemic. A significant negative relationship was found between stress coping strategies in the father group [(p=0.001 <0.05).]. It is hoped that this study will aid fathers in choosing a coping strategy to face the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as provide guidance for relevant authorities in formulating plans aimed at promoting the wellbeing of families in Malaysia.

Children's Health and Typology of Family Integration and Regulation: A Functionalist Analysis.

Children's health is conventionally studied as an ultimate consequence resulting from various social and biological processes that jointly channel the risk factors and pathogens toward an individual health outcome. What is currently neglected is the rich tradition of a functionalist analysis of children's health as a necessary function in the family institution. Children's health may be associated with how children are integrated into the family's core functioning and how parents regulate children's behaviors. The current study used a cross-sectional sample of 891 parents from 2018 southern Jiangsu and surveyed information about children's health and family activities. Employing a latent class analysis, we established four types of families based on children's integration and parental regulation: loose, free, pressed, and concerted. The regression results showed that a child's health is associated with the concerted family type (OR = 3.6, p < 0.05), indicating the necessary functionality of health in heavily regulated and mobilized families. This study broadens the perspective on children's health by ushering back functionalism and placing health in its social implications.

Mental Health problems and psychotherapy in female victims of human trafficking

IntroductionHuman trafficking is the trade of humans for the purpose of forced labor, sexual slavery, or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others. This may encompass providing a spouse in the context of forced marriage or the extraction of organs.Research into the mental health impact of trafficking has consistently found high rates of mental health problems, most commonly depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).While there is some evidence that these factors can contribute the diagnosis of PTSD, exposure to trauma is the most important feature in the development of PTSD.Other Mental Health Problems in victims ofTrafficking:1.Dissociative disorders2.Substance-related disorders3.Complex traumaObjectivesAlthough mental health problems among victims of trafficking have been shown to be high, recovery without treatment is rare, particularly in those who have developed PTSD.Where there is comorbidity, recovery often does not occur even when rehabilitation has been attempted. This is unsurprising given the multiplicity of trauma that victims of trafficking have experienced, which often includes trauma prior to the trafficking situation.MethodsEvidence-Based Therapeutic Treatment Options for PTSD:Some evidence suggests that selective serotonin reuptakeinhibitors can effectively complement the psychotherapeutictreatment of PTSD as well as other anxiety and mooddisorders.Cognitive-behavioral therapyExposure therapyEye movement desensitization and reprocessingNarrative Exposure Therapy (NET)ResultsIn the absence of research pertaining to the mental health treatment of victims of human trafficking, mental health professionals working with this population must educate themselves on the evidence based research related to the treatment of common diagnoses and similarly marginalized populations to ensure proper provision of the best mental health care possible.ConclusionsAmong the most devastating mental health consequences for victims of any crime can be the destruction of basic life assumptions; that one is safe from harm, one is a good and decent person, and the world is meaningful and just. For victims of human trafficking, mental health problems can be compounded by the misconceptions about and limited understanding of the issue of human trafficking.Additionally, lack of social support and stigmatization by friends, family, and social institutions can exacerbate victims mental health conditions.Psychologically process the trauma they have experienced. However, until these studies are conducted and their results made available, mental health practitioners can base treatment options for this population on existing research findings and interventions found to be successful with other similarly victimized populations.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Characteristics, types and functions of family concept

The family, which has existed throughout human history, is a social institution. There are many definitions of the family, which is defined as the smallest cornerstone of societies consisting of a mother, father, and children. However, a universal definition of the family is quite difficult. As the smallest component of society, a family is a social unit with economic, psychological, biological, legal, and social aspects. This research aims to examine the concept of family, family types and family functions. The method of the study is a systematic literature review. Unlike other institutions, the roles and obligations that the family institution imposes on human beings continue from birth to death. Family types are classified in different ways. When analyzed in terms of family structure, values, and functioning in general, it is classified into two types "nuclear family" and "extended family". With today's social and economic changes and the increasing participation of women in working life, the family structure has also changed. Today's family structures have undergone significant changes as a result of urbanization, industrialization, and migration to big cities. Such a high number of divorce data shows that in modern times, the family is moving forward with different impulses and dynamics compared to the past. The duties and responsibilities of families have therefore changed in parallel with daily problems. While in the past the main purpose of marriage was to have children, today they expect more from marriage. As a result of the family's inability to fulfill its functions, the society in which it exists has also been affected and the social problems of the society have increased. In this study, within the scope of the literature, the concept of family, family characteristics, family types, and family functions were examined.

Attitude to the childfree phenomenon of modern youth: regional aspect

The article provides an overview of key theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of voluntary and deliberate childlessness, or childfree phenomenon, which are used in modern sociological and socio-psychological science against the background of transformation of family values and the institution of family. The authors highlighted some of the patterns of the phenomenon specific to modern society and presented the results of an empirical study carried out with participation of Perm youth. These results allow to identify regional aspects of the attitude towards the childfree phenomenon by means of analyzing a set of parameters: the ideas that young people have of the childfree phenomenon; their emotional assessment of the phenomenon; awareness of the childfree social movement’s activities in the Russian Federation; attitude towards representatives of the social movement; willingness to support the ideas of the movement’s representatives; as well as willingness to have or not to have children. The authors also analyzed the main factors that influence the formation of young people’s attitude towards the childfree phenomenon and the corresponding social movement.

The role of social institutions in shaping taxpayer behaviour

The article is devoted to the assessment of the impact that the social institutions of family, education and business have on taxpayer behaviour of natural persons. Special emphasis is placed on novice taxpayers, namely graduates, as they are most exposed to the impact of social factors. A laboratory experiment in the form of a survey of Russian students, conducted in 2021, served as the main research method. In order to process the results obtained, correlation and regression analysis, structural analysis, and the method of tabular presentation of data were used. It was found that the level of influence that the institutions under study have on tax behavior is different, that of the institution of family being the weakest. Respondents’ answers indicate that the joint influence of the institutions of education and business is much stronger. The results of the study can be used by the Federal Tax Service of Russia to develop a strategy for interacting with taxpayers as well as to implement the policy on legalization of business entities’ income. Prospects for further exploration of the topic are linked to the possibility of conducting a more detailed experiment that would include an extended list of questions. Such list will allow to assess the impact of a larger number of social institutions on taxpayers’ behavioural motives.

The approach method used is socio-legal research which is a study that "integrates" doctrinal legal studies with social studies. The results of this study were obtained and it was concluded that: (1) The position of the Corruption Eradication Commission legally is a state institution of the executive family which has implications if the Corruption Eradication Commission can be made the object of the Right of Inquiry by the People's Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia and the position of the Supervisory Board which is one of its powers increasingly giving a new color, which includes the permit process for Wiretapping, searches, and confiscation, which is mandatory for the Corruption Eradication Commission to the Supervisory Board which will have implications for the problem of intervention, certain political interests towards the Corruption Eradication Commission that enter through the Supervisory Board. (2) Reconstruction of the ideal position of the Corruption Eradication Commission in a constitutional system based on Pancasila values of justice is the Corruption Eradication Commission as a unique agency carrying out the functions of judicial power in the field of prevention and prosecution of criminal acts of corruption that are free, independent and may not receive interference from the executive or legislature in carrying out its position. By the values of Pancasila, namely social justice for all Indonesian people, where the relevance is that the Corruption Eradication Commission's power as a law enforcer must be positioned by efforts to achieve justice with the support of the Corruption Eradication Commission's ideal position in the constitutional system. To strengthen the reconstruction of values, the legal reconstruction should ideally be carried out by amending several articles, namely Article 3, Article 21, Article 30, and Article 37B paragraph 1 b, in Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission. So that the position of the Corruption Eradication Commission is no longer under the auspices of the executive but at the judiciary which is independent and independent.

The Internet as a social institution: Rethinking concepts for family scholarship

AbstractObjectiveI evaluate multidisciplinary scholarship on the Internet, the family, and adjacent institutions, comparing their findings to Patricia Yancy Martin's (2004) 14 criteria of social institutions to demonstrate how the Internet represents a new social institution and how that impacts the institution of family in the digital age.BackgroundScholars have called for investigations into the effects of the Internet on family life. This study aims to show how reimagining the Internet as an institution better reveals its complexities and embeddedness in other institutional spaces that shape the family and how.MethodUsing Martin's descriptions of the 14 characteristics of a social institution, I reviewed 85 peer‐reviewed, cross‐disciplinary studies focusing on the Internet and the family for themes that indicated the presence or absence of each criterion.ResultsData analysis revealed that the Internet functions as a social institution, which mutually influences and shapes the institution of family and its overlapping social dynamics. Fifty‐seven cases had all 14 criteria, and 19 cases had 13 criteria. Six had 12 criteria, and only three had 11 criteria.ConclusionThe foundational qualities of the Internet as an institution center the digital space as an active site of social change, where the power dynamics, identities, and practices of “doing family” within digital communities extend beyond those present to others elsewhere.ImplicationsThis reconceptualization provides practitioners with new approaches and insights into how digital spaces impact family outcomes and influence the ways in which groups “do” and define family across other institutional areas, even when the Internet is not directly implicated.

Family Institution: A Study of Socio-Economic Factors of Senior Citizens to Old Age Homes in Lahore

The study's overarching goal was to investigate how social and economic factors influence family institutions and ultimately lead to the institutionalization of care for loved ones. Qualitative and descriptive research methods were used in this investigation. New studies show that social and economic variables affect the family unit, leading people to look for care for their golden years in institutional settings. The major demographic included seniors in institutional settings like nursing homes, retirement communities, and assisted living facilities. For this study, we used a systematic approach to identify 30 retirees from various communities in and around Lahore. In-depth interviews with an interview guide yielded the data. Interviews were conducted with key personnel who had direct responsibility for the retirees. Thematic analysis was used to draw out recurring topics once qualitative data had been collected.
