Fattening "Nkuho" as Instrument of Women Empowerment and Fertility Control Among Calabar Women in Nigeria

This paper presents some qualitative results of an extensive study on reproductive health. The geographical area of study was Calabar in South East Nigeria where the total fertility rate was found to be 2.4, which was less than the national average of 6.5. Certain practices were identified which might have contributed to this low fertility rate. These practices included the fattening culture, a monogamous marital life style, women empowerment through early education and the socio-political integration of women, prolonged breastfeeding, strong abhorrence of premarital sex and other practices that encouraged marital harmony as well as proper child care. Other undesirable practices like killing of twins were also prevalent. Today, abortions, vesico-vaginal fistulae, unwanted pregnancies and abandoned babies, which were hitherto rare, now constitute areas of concern among the people. This study was conducted to explore and describe the experiences of women on the fattening room practices as an instrument of empowering women's reproductive rights. Qualitative study of 28 women was done. Narratives and indepth interviews was used among four (4) geriatric women aged 65-80 years who underwent fattening room experience /exposure with a Quettelet index of over 35 Focus group discussions with 24 middle aged family planning nurses who had never experienced the process but had been briefed by their mothers, took part in the study The fattening room practices have been abandoned since the beginning of the Nigerian civil war from 1966-70 but some beneficial effect on health had been identified which should be encouraged as a starting point for culturally sensitive reproductive right education Key Words: Fattening room, Qualitative studies, reproductive rights Nig.

Role Balance Among White Married Couples

We generate models predicting wives' and husbands' feelings of overall balance across roles. Drawing on fine‐grained data about marital lifestyles and time use, we find few predictors that are the same for both partners. Both report greater role balance when their level of parental attachment to children is higher and when their marital satisfaction is greater, but gendered time use gives rise to important differences. Wives report greater balance when they have more paid work hours but have fewer of these hours on weekends. Wives' balance is also greater when they feel less financial strain, have less leisure time alone with their children, more couple leisure alone with their husbands, and more social network involvement. Husbands' contribute to wives' balance when they report more relationship maintenance in the marriage and more leisure with their children at those times when wives are not present. Husbands' own role balance increases as their income rises, but it decreases as their work hours rise. Husbands' balance also rises with more nuclear family leisure, and it lessens as their leisure alone increases. Our discussion highlights the ways that gendered marital roles lead to these different correlates of balance.

A Study of Carrying Out Personal Preferences in Marital Lifestyle

A Study of Carrying Out Personal Preferences in Marital Lifestyle

Traumas versus Strens

The ubiquity of the definition of divorce as a traumatic crisis has tended to focus research on its deleterious effects, especially on the pathogenic consequences which may accrue to children. Antithetical to this model is the contention that divorce per se need not always be a trauma, but may also be a stren, a strengthening experience. Available research literature on the responses of married persons to divorce is reexamined in terms of an alternative query: under what conditions is divorce, a potentially traumatic experience, actually experienced as a stren, a personality enhancing or growth experience? Seventeen factors contributing to this outcome are discussed: the definition of divorce as a normal event; the personalities of the participants, including the ability to define experiences as strens; age and sex; marital life style; the quality and length of marriage; the length of termination of the marriage; the status of initiator or noninitiator; attachment and the ex-mate; income and education options; traditional or nontraditional gender roles; supportive networks; geographical mobility; the presence of peer support groups; and the role of a significant other. Suggestions are made for processes to facilitate the adjustment of divorced persons, and for future research.

High School Students' Marital Lifestyle Preferences: A Test of Reference Group Theory

The impact of parents and best friends upon the marital lifestyle preferences of a sample of 181 high school students is examined. Respondents' choices of lifestyles are found to be correlated with their perceptions of best friends' choices to a slightly greater degree than with perceptions of parents' choices. However, perceptions of best friends' and parents' choices both exert a significant influence on respondents' own choices. Mother's occupation also exerts a strong influence. A variety of family and attitudinal variables tested through regression analysis fail to show any additional significant influence on respondents' stated preferences for marital lifestyles.

Family life and cardiovascular risk: implications for the prevention of chronic disease.

While individual life style has been related to increased risk for cardiovascular disease, as well as other chronic diseases, little attempt has been made to explore the influence of family life style upon risk factor development. This review examines findings from behavioral and epidemiological studies which suggest a relationship between family environmental factors and levels of risk characteristics. Concepts provided by a Family Systems Approach are used to direct attention to crucial family issues which influence this relationship in light of the potential for prevention of cardiovascular disease. We conclude that preventive approaches could be improved in three ways: by directing primary prevention efforts toward pre-school children within the context of their family, by directing adult intervention efforts toward consideration of their marital life style in relation to each risk factor, and by directing future research efforts toward clarifying the currently elusive relationship between family psychosocial factors and cardiovascular risk.

Marital Lifestyles and Adjustment to Separation

Two hundred and ninety-eight men and women in the process of divorce were interviewed concerning their lifestyle prior to maeta1 separation and their current state of happiness. Sex differences in social independence, division of household chores, and reliance on spouse were congruent with traditional sex role norms. When lifestyle measures were correlated with present happiness, less traditional behaviors were generally associated with greater happiness, as was the maintenance of separate interests, hobbies, and social activities.
