Challenges and reactions of families of women survived self-immolation: A qualitative study in western Iran.

Families are a key source of support for women recovering from self-immolation, a common form of suicide in many parts of the world. Yet, we know little about the challenges these families face. The present study explores the challenges and reactions of the families of women saved from self-immolation in western. This qualitative research used a phenomenological approach with the families of women who survived self-immolation in western Iran. Saturation was achieved with semi-structured interviews with 31 participants who were selected through purposive sampling and snowball sampling. The Colaizzi approach was used to analyze the data, and Guba and Lincoln's four criteria were used to improve the quality of the results. Two categories, 11 subcategories, and 163 primary codes were obtained from the data analysis. (a) Challenges include the cost of treatment, a lack of appropriate health and treatment centers, family stigma, fear, and worry, challenges in justifying the victim's continued treatment and counseling, unpleasant feelings, the spread of family tensions, and a lack of support. (b) Reactions include rejection of the victim, compensation for the past, tolerance of the victim, and changes in family life conditions.

Changing the Level of Education and Career Choice Depending on the Socioeconomic Status of the Family: Evidence from Azerbaijan

Education plays an important role in the fight against poverty and contributes to the formation of human capital by increasing the knowledge and skills of the individual. It increases the educational opportunities for future generations, provides more opportunities to participate in public life, and makes a significant contribution to social development. Education is influenced by various factors. One of the main factors influencing education is the socio-economic conditions of family life. This study explores the relationship between the socio-economic status of the family and the level of education in Azerbaijan. To this end, the influence of two main independent variables, namely, the influence of family elders and family income, on the level of education of an individual was studied. As a result of the study, it was found that mothers compared to grandparents and grandparents compared to fathers have a positive impact on the level of education of children. It was also found that household income is a determining factor in choosing a risky career and that children from families with an upper middle income are especially more positive than those from low income families.

Історико-правовий аналіз кримінально-правової притидії домашньому насильству

The article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of domestic violence at different times and in different countries, as a result of which it can be stated that regardless of the development of society, its evolution, the problems of domestic violence have always existed. It has been found that the roots of domestic violence in history are deep, come from ancient times and are determined by the peculiarities of national values, culture, traditions and, of course, religion of different peoples and states. Today, domestic violence is one of the most acute problems of society, which is quite widespread in the whole world and during the period of quarantine restrictions, it is gaining larger and larger scales. Modern society considers domestic violence as a type of criminal offense, but in most cases in Ukraine, domestic violence remains a family secret, because victims of such violence are ashamed to admit it and report it to law enforcement authorities. Realization of personal human rights, guaranteeing the right to life and health, to free personal development is one of the main tasks of the legal social state, which Ukraine is declared to be. Ensuring these rights is directly related to combating violent acts and, in particular, domestic violence. The first attempts to regulate family relations at the legislative level, as evidenced by historical monuments, were made as early as the 18th century BC, during the reign of Hammurabi, king of Babylon. In the laws of King Hammurabi, a lot of attention was paid to family relations - both property and non-property, as well as the protection of some rights of children. Thus, the analysis of individual provisions of these laws makes it possible to assert that they protected the interests of the family and established equal rights of spouses regarding property and dignified conditions of family life, as well as provided for clearly defined grounds for divorce, both on the part of the man and the woman. At the same time, the laws of King Hammurabi also provided for the possibility of placing a woman or child in debt bondage for a certain period in case of inability to repay the debt. Gender-based violence has deep historical roots both in Ukraine and abroad . It takes its origin from ancient times, since mankind began to exist on Earth. It is worth noting that domestic violence is an urgent problem at the current stage of development , both for the person against whom it is committed, as well as for the families where it is committed and, of course, for our society in general, because domestic violence is one of the most common forms of human rights violations in the world.

Essential components of the image of the future of the country in the representations of the youth

The article analyzes the goals, which the Russian youth think are important to achievement for the best future of the country. Their foundations are the ideas of young people about the meanings of different aspects of reality - affordable qualified health care as a guarantee of a high quality of life; families as the basis of confidence and security; living space as an environment for a comfortable life; labor as a source of material well-being; balance of rights and obligations of citizens as a factor in the consolidation of society; education as a condition for social advancement; an active civil society as a condition for democratization in the country; authorities capable of ensuring the achievement of these goals as a guarantee of the country's sustainable development. The priority goals that are mostly significant are a strong family, living space, high-quality healthcare, and effective government. The differentiation of these goals by groups of young people depending on gender, age, education, financial situation, type of settlement has shown sustainability of these ideas. An analysis of the connection between young people's ideas about goals that are significant for the future of the country, with a self-assessment of changes in their living conditions, showed a deterioration in terms of the financial situation of the family, job security, employment, medical care, recreation conditions, with some improvement in the same indicators. The relationship of these indicators with positive and negative emotional states of young people - reliability, confidence, anxiety, indignation, anger, indifference and confusion was revealed. The main factors in the regulation of stress are mainly changes in the material conditions of family life and guarantees of employment and employment.

I comportamenti familiari e riproduttivi in un tempo di cambiamento sociale, culturale e giuridico

Since the mid-1960s, in the brief span of a couple of decades, a progressive weakening of the marriage institution as the structuring element of the family has come about. With fewer, later marriages, more fragile as divorces rapidly increased, and with the normalization of less stable forms of cohabitation, the very conditions of family life have been transformed in a large area, covering Western Europe, North America and other parts of the developed world. The number of births outside marriage has noticeably risen, and at the same time, there has been a drastic falling birth rate, all the more significant as it occurred in countries with already low or moderate fertility levels, if seen on a global scale. Almost directly connected to these phenomena, the number of second (or subsequent) unions, divorced and single persons, and those who, more or less voluntarily, will not have children in the course of their life has increased. These are changes of fundamental importance from the point of view of both society and the individual, because they deeply affect people’s lives. Studying those transformations assumes a particular interest for the sociology of law as the evolution of behaviour has been intertwined with legal changes, both in jurisprudential orientations and in the legislation. After a stagnation in the family law, which sometimes lasted more of a century, in the space of a few decades radical reforms were introduced in all the Western countries, which profoundly changed the legal context of family relations and reproductive behaviours.

Internet Gaming Disorder: Exploring Its Impact on Satisfaction in Life in PELLEAS Adolescent Sample.

Among adolescents, heavy video game use and socializing online may be valued socially by peers, depending on gender and age, which can increase life satisfaction. However, heavy video gaming may also be linked to symptoms of Internet Gaming Disorder, which can decrease life satisfaction. Overall, when symptoms of Internet Gaming Disorder are present, do subjects experience decreased or increased life satisfaction, all other things being equal? The aim of this study was to explore the association between Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms and life satisfaction, while controlling for gender, age, and other conditions that may impact life satisfaction. More than 2000 adolescents filled out an anonymous questionnaire at school, and 43 patients in a care center filled out the same questionnaire. Sociodemographic characteristics, family life conditions, use of screens (videos, video games, and social networks), mental health screenings, and a life satisfaction measure were collected. Distribution of participants’ characteristics was provided, and stratified multivariate analyses by young male, older male, young female, and older female school populations were carried out. Results suggested that Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms had similar prevalence before and after the age of 15 in males (21% vs. 19%) and in females (6% vs. 7%) respectively and was significantly associated with decreased life satisfaction in older males, even after adjusting for parental support, depression, and economic conditions. Associations between symptoms of Internet Gaming Disorder and life satisfaction may be different depending on adolescent gender and age group.

ENGAGING SOCIAL ADVERTISING TO THE PROBLEM OF OVERCOMING ORPHANHOOD

Abstract. The aim of the article is to outline the possibilities of social advertising on the problem of overcoming orphanhood through the promotion of the establishment and maintenance of the FTO. The research methods allowed to do the following: systematization, comparison - to find out the current state and dynamics of the establishment and functioning of the FTO in the Rivne region; comparative analysis, designing - to identify the opportunities and directions of social advertising’s meaningful design for the popularization of the FTO. There are four forms of family placement of orphans and children deprived of parental care in Ukraine: adoption, tutelage (care), foster families, family-type orphanages (FTO). The combined social and pedagogical influence of the FTO is revealed in the creation of optimal conditions of family life, a full family environment for the orphan child. According to the Department of Children's Affairs of Rivne Regional State Administration, almost 96% of the orphans have been covered in the family forms of education and almost 65 thousand from of 71.5 thousand orphans were under tutelage in Ukraine by the end of 2018. However, a significant proportion of the orphans from the FTO, from foster families and outside of them, remain without proper care both in the Rivne region and in Ukraine because of a variety of reasons: the political, social economic crisis in the state; low welfare of most citizens; high unemployment rate; commercialization of children's leisure, etc. Legislative conditions for ensuring the financing of social services development in communities are also needed for the purpose of social support of the FTO. There were more than 30 FTO in Rivne region at the beginning of 2019, while there are1039 inUkraine (7,000 children are covered). The ratio of FTO and foster families in the Rivne region is 1: 2 (while in the Volyn region it is 1:4, inthe Zhytomyr region it is 1: 5). At present, the Rivne region has the lowest quantitative indicators for the formation of FTO and foster families in the northern region of Ukraine, but FTO remains the most popular form of family care there. It has been established that social advertising as a form of social reflection contributes to solving social problems, social support of the population, increases the level of culture and acts as a factor in the development of civil society. Social advertising aims not only at attracting attention to the problem, but also provides possible solutions and calls for their practical implementation. By the content, social advertising can promote the model of behavior, informing about the rights, guarantees and possibilities of social protection of certain categories of the population. Accordingly, depending on the purpose of the release, there are such kinds of advertising as a fashion, stimulating, advertising of stability. The specific purpose of social advertising is popularization and support of the FTO and it will be appropriate to offer image advertising in creating a convincing image of the FTO in a distinct, symbolic form, which will provide information about the benefits of the FTO to orphans and children deprived of parental care. Stimulating advertising is used to promote special lines of assistance, in our case, it will be public and social assistance to the parents who are still thinking about creation of FTO or foster family or are looking for the solutions to the urgent problems of their FTO. Advertising of stability consolidates the obtained results, it can be statistical data on the current state of the existence of FTO in the Rivne region in comparison with other regions of Ukraine. Thus, social services can use social advertising of the FTO at different stages of its organization and in different content areas to provide information about the current state of the functioning of the FTO at the local level.

Young Disabled Adults Facing Developmental Tasks and Life Choices – In Search of Daily Life Quality

Emerging adulthood, in numerous individual biographies, also in the case of disabled people, is the time of permanent need for self-actualisation and time of verifying one’s subjective vision of “being an adult,” i.e. being responsible for one’s own decisions, pursuing professional and economic independence. Due to developmental acceleration, sociological shift in terms of undertaken roles and realized developmental tasks as well as their moratoriumlinked delays, it is also the time conducive to educational activity. This psychological time of a young person, its course and specificity depend, to a large extent, on numerous (micro-, mezo- and macro-) conditions of family life and social life in today’s world which is more competitive and less predictable than it used to be for generation of the late 1990s. All of these factors contribute to the fact that maturing to adulthood seems to be a state which is harder to achieve nowadays. It is displayed in the form of delaying the moment of taking up a job or other important decisions in family and relationship contexts.The study aims to present the selected aspects of daily life of disabled young adults, described in the context of developmental tasks of this period and considering the perspective of investment in relationships, development of one’s own resources, pursuing education and entering the job market which are all, from a temporal perspective, a chance of complementing one’s own identity.

Family Factors Associated With Suicide Attempts Among Chinese Adolescent Students: A National Cross-Sectional Survey

To determine the prevalence and associated family factors of suicide attempts among junior and/or senior high school students, so as to provide bases for preventive measures of suicide in China. A total of 13,512 students from 32 junior and/or senior high schools in grades 7 to 11 in eight cities of China participated in a self-administered anonymous survey to report their frequency of suicide attempts during the past year. Sociodemographic characteristics, tobacco, and alcohol use in the past 30 days were asked. Stressful family life events were used to evaluate the subjects' family characteristics. Overall, 2.7% (338/12,470) in-school adolescents reported a suicide attempt during the past year, girls significantly more often than boys. Considered independently, all stressful family life events were strongly associated with increased risk for self-reported suicide attempts. When taking sociodemographic characteristics, life style, and all the five family factors selected from factor analysis into consideration, there was a significant independent impact of three family factors on increasing suicide attempts risk among adolescents. The most notable risks were derived from improper parental rearing behavior, separation from parents, and social problems of the family members. However, neither poor material conditions of family life nor family member's adversity contribute significantly to the risk. This study not only indicates that suicide attempt is a significant public health issue among in-school adolescents in China, but also confirms that adolescents with family problems commonly manifest suicide attempts, which highlights the importance of considering family environmental factors when assessing suicide risk.

Quality of Life Across Life Domains: Family Structure and Relations

This paper aims to evaluate how the Korean family fares in terms of itsquality of life. Specifically, it examines the perceived quality of relationships among family members in relation to the objective conditions of family life, and the decision-making process that takes place therein. According to National Census data, family size is becoming smaller, and the divorce rate is increasing, while the marriage rate is decreasing. The nuclear two-parent family has changed little in its relative size, while the incidence or size of the three-generation extended family has continued to decrease. At the same time, there has been a sharp increase in single-person households. According to a recent survey of college students, Korean families, despite the widely held notion of a hierarchical Confucian influence, enjoy a liberal and flexible family environment in everyday life. Such a family atmosphere, together with a large family income, is found to contribute to greater qualities of family life, involving such elements as love, caring, recognition, and acceptance.

:Family Life in Early Modern Times 1500-1789

This volume inaugurates a major three-volume of the family in Europe over the last five hundred years. Family lies at the heart of the social history which, since the 1960s, has shifted the historiographical focus from elites and political to the changing life experience of ordinary people. With the benefit of research techniques drawn from the social sciences together with perspectives provided by developments in cultural and gender and the of sexuality, the contributors to this project provide a fresh reading of the social world of the past, of the nature of family life in Europe and the forces that have shaped it. As with the forthcoming volumes in the series (Family Life in Modern Times, 1789-1914 and Family Life in the Twentieth Century), this opening volume looks first at the material conditions of family life - housing, diet and domestic organisation - and at the economic and social factors that conditioned it. The book considers the nature of family law, the impact of religious change, demographic factors such as disease, childhood mortality and illegitimacy, relations between parents and children, and the effect on family life of changing trends in marriage, divorce and extended kin relationships. The contributors are drawn from among the finest social historians of Italy, France, the United States, Germany, Austria and Scandinavia. Charged with synthesizing the vast and vigorous international literature on the family as well as opening new vistas in the field, the authors present a clear, comprehensive and vivid account of the development of family life between the Renaissance and the French Revolution.

Comparing women's views on family and sexual problems in family and gynecological practices

This study compares the role of community gynecologists and family physicians, seen from the patients' perspective. A sample of 126 female patients in family practices and 212 patients in gynecological practices were surveyed about their preferences and expectations of whether their doctor should address personal, family and sexual problems. The effects of covariates (such as the type of doctor, patient age, family status, child desire) on patient expectations were simultaneously assessed by multiple logistic regression. Between 40% and 70% of the patients contacted confirmed the family-oriented approach, both in family practices and gynecological practices. Family practice patients more frequently stressed their doctor's knowledge of personal and family aspects (odds ratio [OR] = 1.7, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 1.1–2.7); whereas communication about sexual problems and a possible desire to have a child was more often considered as the gynecologist's domain (OR = 2.8 [95% CI= 1.8–4.4] and OR = 1.8 [95% CI = 1.1–2.8], respectively). Female patients older than 30 years were more often interested in communication on family related affairs (OR=2.2, 95% CI=1.4–3.4). These data illustrate mat many patients would like both their community gynecologist and their family physician to take notice of their personal and family life conditions, including sexual problems and to initiate communication about these subjects.

Ecological study of child care quality: A call for attention to the cultural context

SUMMARY Quality of child care is most commonly evaluated in light of the child's immediate surroundings, namely — family life conditions and child care settings, taking into consideration individual differences among children. This paper, while adopting a broader ecological picture, calls for attention to the importance of evaluating the quality of child care in the light of cultural differences. Examples taken from published literature as well as from the author's personal research, clearly demonstrate that parents from different cultures: (a) draw different lines when evaluating the physical settings of the child (i.e. safety, neatness, order, etc.); (b) differ in their preferences of care giver behaviour, orientation and qualifications; and (c) have different expectations regarding the day care curriculum. It is concluded that each society maintains its own definition of ‘ideal care’, which best relates to its goals and expectations vis a vis child development and socialisation. Thus, it is proposed th...

Food Practices and Division of Domestic Labour. A Comparison between British and Swedish Households

This paper emanates from a problem with general reference to basic conditions of family life and food practices. More specifically it concerns the striving of preventive health care in persuading contemporary Western Europeans to change their attitudes to food in a health oriented direction. The question is: Do gender roles at home influence people's attitudes towards food? A survey of current sociological and ethnological research in Great Britain and Sweden shows two partly different gender role patterns, one (the British) with obvious traits of role segregation and the other (the Swedish) comparatively more integrated. From these observations follows an analysis of how each pattern respectively affects food practices on a household level. One conclusion is that segregated roles seem to favour conservatism while equality oriented relations create prerequisites for changeability. The discussion comments on social and historical conditions generating differences in gender role patterns, with special emphasis on working class culture and peasant culture as important historical factors. The paper concludes by asserting that the conditions for political initiative aimed at increased equality at home are better today than ever before during the twentieth century. But to succeed these initiatives must primarily focus upon the male role and its relation to domestic work.

Familj mellan marknad och stat/politik. En fråga om kön, klass och makt

The family between market and state. A question of gender, class an powerWith reference to the far-reaching social and economic changes from a global perspective, the focus of the political discussions is now laid on the conditions of family life. The family is a third sphere between the market and the state. As such, it cannot be analysed independently of changes on the labour market and in the political economy. In this article, the thesis is advanced that the family policies must be analysed with reference to class and gender. The way in which changes in the composition of classes affect the current political process in Sweden is problematised. The significance of analysing the class relation of the service society from a gender perspective is particularly stressed. Sweden is currently a gender segregated class society. The higher classes are male dominated, and the lower classes are female dominated. A gender-based ’class struggle’ has emerged within strata. The solidarity within and between strata is weakened, since the struggle is also a gender struggle, and men tend to emphasise their higher status against women, not to equalise it. The bill about care allowance is critically scrutinised from class political and gender political perspectives. While presented as an issue of equality between family forms, it is argued, in this article, that its purpose is to strengthen a traditional family form in the working class.
