Effect of mindfulness on sexual self-esteem and marital intimacy in postmenopausal women: a quasi-experimental study.

Menopause is a turning point in women's lives and a major medical challenge, leading to drastic changes in sexual self-esteem and the husband-wife relationship, which can have an undeniable impact on the quality of their life. To assess the effect of mindfulness-based education on sexual self-esteem and marital intimacy in postmenopausal women. This quasi-experimental study was conducted with 130 women who were assigned to 2 groups, intervention (n = 65) and control (n = 65), out of whom 127 completed the study. The interventional group received 8 training sessions. The mindfulness-based intervention consisted of 8 educational sessions and daily mindfulness exercises. Sexual self-esteem was assessed by the Sexual Self-esteem Index for Woman-Short Form, and marital intimacy was measured with Thompson and Walker's Intimacy Scale. The collected data were analyzed via analysis of covariance. Outcomes included changes in sexual self-esteem and marital intimacy scores. Participants in the intervention group demonstrated higher levels of total self-esteem posttreatment than participants in the control group (125.15 vs 119.46) and higher levels of intimacy (74.22 vs 61.59). The difference was still significant after adjusting for self-esteem (η2 = 0.312, P < .001) and intimacy (η2 = 0.573, P < .001) at baseline. Mindfulness may be used as a strategy to improve sexual self-esteem and marital intimacy. Unlike other treatments, mindfulness seems to be low cost and less complex in improving sexual self-esteem and marital intimacy. Limitations of this study include use of available sampling methods, nonrandom allocation of participants, and self-reporting data collection. As evidenced by the results, 8 weeks of mindfulness training could improve sexual self-esteem and marital intimacy in menopausal women. The mindfulness-based intervention should be incorporated into routine care to help menopausal women.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE RELATIONSHIP OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PERPETRATORS

Domestic violence is generally carried out by the person closest to the victim and the husband is the dominant person being the perpetrator of violence against the wife. This can occur because family awareness has not been touched in improving self-quality through the application of understanding family functions. Victims of Domestic Violence also frequently exhibit mental health situations associated with a history of trauma to violence in their family. The depiction that men are considered more powerful and stronger makes them more aggressive, which can lead to domestic violence against women. The power relations of the perpetrators are also influenced by the wife's economic independence. The power of the perpetrator which is higher than the victim is influenced by the domination of the perpetrator in the economic system. Because the husband spends time in the sector that makes money while the wife takes care of the household and takes care of the children. The pattern of husband-wife relations greatly affects the roles between husband and wife and the distribution of power. Scanzoni and Scanzoni divide the husband-wife relationship into four types of marriage patterns, namely; property owner pattern, head complement pattern, senior-junior pattern, and equal partner pattern. These four patterns result from special and dynamic socio-economic conditions. Equal distribution of power in the family will have a low level of conflict of control, and violence

For the most of human history, the family was primarily concerned with producing economic output.

Paul's Perspective on the Role of Women in Leadership and its Relevance to the Church in Africa

Many African societies are androcentric. Evidence of gender inequality reflects in their education, economic, political, and religious systems. Some church denominations are struggling to establish women's roles in church leadership. The struggle is to what extent is it culturally acceptable and biblically justifiable to allow women to assume preeminent leadership positions? This paper examines women's roles as presented in Pauline epistles to discover Paul's view of women's ministries in the church within the purview of diverse cultural orientations of his days. It argues that Paul adopted a progressive and transformational approach to address the age-long controversial issue of women's roles in the church. In some areas, his approach is countercultural, and in others, it is conventional. The paper adopts an analytical approach to unravel Paul’s perspective of women's leadership roles from Pauline's literature and scholars' opinions. It ascertains that the Church in Africa should develop cultural sensitivity and appreciation, ensure the Husband-Wife relationship and mutual development, maintain orderliness in worship, campaign for gender equality, and safeguard against heresies. It is recommended that pastors in churches and theological educators should adopt Paul's position concerning women's ministry roles in the church and encourage women to take their place beyond cultural limitations.

Fashioning Women Citizens in al-Fajr

Abstract When Najla Abillama published the first issue of al-Fajr (The Dawn) in Beirut in January 1919, hope infused articles that looked forward to the future of the homeland and its daughters. Key to that future was the home. Using postcolonial literary theory, Stephen Greenblatt’s notion of self-fashioning, and Nan Enstad’s definition of political subjects, this article analyzes a fictional correspondence between Salma and her daughter Mary, published in al-Fajr from late 1919 through 1920. The article argues that these letters marshal the discourse of domesticity—women as educated managers of their homes, children, and husbands—to articulate women’s roles in public, national life. Thus the mother-daughter and husband-wife relationships highlighted in the correspondence fashion women as citizens patriotically devoted to and shaped by the nation, partnered with their fellow citizens for its improvement. This analysis provides a model for reexamining the relationship between the domestic and the national in the interwar women’s press.

Child Free Perspektif Agama Hindu

After the second world war, the increase in the world's population was so rapid that it raised issues of environmental damage, food security, and increased crime cases. This causes some densely populated countries to limit the number of births. The birth of a child leaves a carbon footprint of up to 58.6 tons/year. This is what causes the Childfree movement to emerge as one of the solutions offered by modern humans in overcoming environmental issues. The driving factors include environmental awareness, to a consumptive lifestyle due to capitalist ideology. Hinduism in its teachings views that having children is a obligation for parents because children can be the glue of husband-wife relationships and having children who are suputra is the main Yajna. Intelligent children will be able to solve the problems they face, including environmental issues which became the initial basis for the Child free movement. So not having children is not the only solution to overcome environmental damage. The method used in this article uses a qualitative method and uses a phenomenological approach which is described descriptively. The data in this article was obtained through literature studies, both from articles published in journals, Hindu religious sacred texts combined with analysis of data obtained and sourced from the internet in the form of documents, news to videos that are shown on the YouTube platform.

Revolutionary Christian Attitudes toward Women and Family in Late Qing and Republican-Era China

Abstract In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Chinese Christian familial ideals were traditional and revolutionary at the same time. They were traditional in wanting to preserve some role for parents in forming the marriages of their children and in seeing wives as primarily responsible for the care of children. But Christians were revolutionary in encouraging women to develop their personalities and work outside the home. They advocated women’s education and associated education with women’s empowerment and independence. Christians taught that marriage should be based on love and that daughters were just as important as sons, even if they chose to be single. Singleness, spouse self-selection, prioritizing the husband-wife relationship over the parent-child relationship, and pursuing a companionate model of marriage were all ways that Christians helped revolutionize familial ideals in China.
