How do dialogical group sessions work for mothers of young children with parenting challenges in Japan?

ABSTRACT Purpose Parenting support is a pressing issue in Japan. The application of open dialogue (OD)—an alternative treatment for mental illnesses—to parenting support has generated considerable interest. This study aimed to describe the participants’ experiences shared during a dialogic group session based on OD principles for mothers of young children facing parenting challenges. Methods Five mothers with parenting concerns participated in five continuing group sessions over a half-year at a parenting support centre in Japan. The data comprised participants’ utterances and feedback in each session, along with semi-structured individual interviews conducted after all sessions. Results Qualitative descriptive analysis revealed six themes: “From initial surprise to growing ease with dialogue without a theme,” “Talking and listening without interruption or judgement,” “Reflections by the facilitators: insightful or uncomfortable?,” “Learning to talk about difficult things,” “Offering empathic advice without imposing opinions,” and “Multiple voices helped deepen their thoughts and reflections.” Conclusions The participants discovered how to listen to others without judgement and verbalize thoughts that would otherwise have remained unvoiced. The sessions also enabled them to understand their families and themselves better. The dialogical group sessions demonstrated new possibilities for more open, mutually supportive communication.

Determination of Training Participants in Community Work Training Centers Using the Naïve Bayes Classifier Algorithm

Community work training centers are skills training institutions that aim to improve the skills of the surrounding community by providing training programs that align with industry needs. Registration of training participants at the Al-Ikhwan Islamic Boarding School community work training centers often faces obstacles, namely, the selection process is still manual, so it takes a long time, and there is a possibility of errors. This study aims to apply the Naive Bayes Classifier Algorithm to determine whether applicants pass training at the Al-Ikhwan Islamic Boarding School community work training centers. This classification method is used to help optimize the applicant selection process by considering administrative factors, income, and training quotas. RapidMiner software is used as a tool to implement the algorithm. This study found that the Naive Bayes Classifier Algorithm can provide good accuracy results in determining applicants who pass the training selection. The test results show that the resulting model has an accuracy of 90.00% in determining passing training participants with data that has the highest chance of passing, namely data that has the attributes of the female gender, age 20 years, last education Senior High School/Vocational High School, student work/student, income 364,912, father's work as laborer, father's income 3912,280, mother's work as an IRT, and mother's income 885,964. This research increases efficiency and accuracy in determining training applicants at the Al-Ikhwan Islamic Boarding School community work training centers.

Digitally intensive mothering and unequal emotional work of Chinese mothers

ABSTRACT Due to the unequal gender division of labour in parenting practices, intensive mothering has been further reinforced in the digital age, amplifying mothers’ otherwise implicit emotional work. Using data from 70 self-narration cases of Chinese mothers during lockdown learning, this study found that mothers experienced four kinds of negative emotions – anxiety, anger, frustration and guilt during online learning, and adopted two possible coping strategies – active self-reflection and passive intervention by others. This study foregrounded the unequal emotional work of Chinese mothers, especially the vulnerability in emotion management among mothers at lower socioeconomic levels. This study revealed how the ideological discourses constructed by intensive mothering influence Chinese mothers’ emotions in digital educational involvement and the digital inequality it may trigger.

The relationship between parental work and child growth and development

Background: The parent's occupation factor is important because it can influence the quality of parenting, economic conditions, and family environment, all of which contribute to child development.Objective: This study aims to identify and analyze the relationship between parental economic status, namely parental employment, and child growth and development.Method: The research uses survey methods with a quantitative approach. Data was collected from respondents of mothers with children aged 0-5 years. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square test to determine the significance of the relationship between parental employment and children's growth and development.Results: The study's results show a significant relationship between fathers' work and child growth, where children of fathers who work as laborers have the most normal growth. Meanwhile, maternal employment has a significant relationship with child development, with the highest normal development in children of mothers who do not work. However, maternal employment did not show an important relationship with child growth.Conclusion: This study concludes that the father's work has more influence on children's physical growth, while the mother's work has more influence on child development. These results show that parental employment characteristics have important implications for child development

The interplay between maternal employment dynamics and trends in breastfeeding practices over the past decade

BackgroundWorking mothers are in a situation where they have to manage both their job and maternal roles simultaneously. We aim to show the relationship between mothers' breastfeeding behavior and working status, as well as the effect of their working conditions on the continuation of breastfeeding.MethodsThis study examined 3557 (weighted 3490) child-mother pairs from Turkey's Demographic Health Survey data in 2008, 2013, and 2018 with a complex sample multiple logistic regression analysis to explore the relationship between breastfeeding and maternal employment.ResultsIn our study, 35.5% of the mothers had never worked, 18.6% were still working, and 45.9% had worked in the past but were not currently working. When breastfeeding percentages were examined based on maternal working status, mothers who worked in 2008 had significantly lower breastfeeding percentages than those who had never worked or had worked previously but not currently. In both 2013 and 2018, after legal regulations, maternal employment didn't affect breastfeeding. After adjusting for confounding factors, maternal employment in the industry sector had lower breastfeeding percentages [AOR:0.06 (95% CI: 0.01–0.48)] than those working in agriculture.ConclusionIt seems that adhering to legal regulations such as paid maternity leave and lactation leave can promote breastfeeding. It is necessary to raise awareness of mothers working in the industry about the continuation of breastfeeding and to monitor their legal rights.

Application of health belief model to assess periodic examination of thyroid functions in children among Saudi mothers

Background: Hypothyroidism is a common concern in the development of physical and cognitive development in children. The health belief model is one of the models that examines the factors behind people’s behaviors. Aim was to assess the periodic examination of children among Saudi mothers and its association with different constructs of the health belief model. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 385 participants of Saudi mothers for three months from January to April 2024 by using a designed structured questionnaire. Results: 88.05% of mothers showed poor behavior regarding periodic examinations of thyroid functions for their children. The significant factors that determined this behavior were the older mother’s age, working status (mother working), positive family history of hypothyroidism, good perceived benefits, and good cues to action. These factors were statistically significant at p value <0.05. Conclusions: Most of the mothers who participated in this study showed poor behavior regarding the regular examination of thyroid function tests of their children. Factors such as the older mother’s age, working status (working mother), positive family history of thyroid issues, good perceived benefits of the exams, and good cues to action were found to be significantly associated with mothers’ behavior towards this regular examination of thyroid function.

“My child is my job now” – Care, work and careers of mothers with disabled children in the Norwegian welfare state

In this article, we investigate how mothers of disabled children in Norway experience the work–family conflict and its impact on their careers, highlighting the role of provision of health and welfare services. We use a qualitative multiple case study of 11 mothers with disabled children. Although Norway is characterized by high labor market participation for women and an emphasis on care policies that support working mothers, we show that mothers of disabled children still experience considerable work–family conflict, creating ill-health and income-related struggles. This conflict is heavily influenced by inadequate support from health and welfare services. However, some of the mothers also highlighted how caring for their disabled children led to growth and new career paths, using their care experiences to craft new careers. Drawing on Fraser's (2022) concept of the care crunch and a relational perspective on disability, we demonstrate how the social organization of care for disabled children undervalues the care work mothers do and puts disabled children at risk of receiving insufficient and unequal services.
