Background: Teenage pregnancy has been regarded as a negative occurrence in recent times due to its various negative consequences on the overall wellbeing of the teenage mother and her child, the whole family system and the entire community at large. Teenage pregnancy rate is a powerful indicator of the total well-being of a population. Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore professional nurses and secondary school teachers’ own perspectives on teenage pregnancy and to ascertain the current teenage pregnancy prevention programmes within the two selected communities in Kwara and Edo states in Nigeria. Methods: The study was qualitative and contextual with an exploratory strategy. A total of 80 participants, who were professional nurses and secondary school teachers, responded to the semi-structured interview and completed a questionnaire on demographic data. Template analysis style was combined with content analysis for data analysis. Results: Our findings revealed limited teenage pregnancy prevention initiatives in the communities. The majority of the participants expressed that teenage pregnancy is a common occurrence in their communities, but it is not acceptable. More than half of the participants did not accept the usage of contraceptives by teenagers. Conclusions: The study identified a number of factors that may influence the rate of teenage pregnancy in the communities. Therefore, strategies to reduce teenage pregnancy should focus on building social capital for teenagers in communities, making information on contraception more accessible and offering programmes that empower girls in the area of sexuality.

Psychological distress is a global phenomenon that affects not only the psychological and physical well-being but also the profession of  teachers  around the world. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the experiences of psychologically distressed public secondary school teachers, their coping strategies, and insights they can share to their peers and to the academe in general. The participants of this inquiry were five female teachers from the public secondary schools of Davao del Norte division of Davao region, Philippines who experienced distress caused by school and personal stressors. Furthermore, informants  underwent face-to-face in-depth interview. After a thorough analysis of the data using thematic, numeration and cross-case analysis procedures, it was found out that students’ misbehavior was the most common cause of teachers’ distress. On the coping strategies employed by them, it also came out that controlling the emotion was their most usual coping strategy against their distressful experiences. Moreover, teaching as both profession and ministry was the strongest insight. Finally, this study has provided some important implications on how to address the said phenomenon, suggested relevant insights for meaningful learning, and considered vital related topics which  necessitate future undertakings.

The secondary school teachers of Lahore are mainly targeted population and stratified sampling technique is used to draw sample of the study. The sample consists of 150 secondary school teachers (75 male and 75 females). Two close ended questionnaires on five-point likert type scale were adapted for this study. The reliability of the instruments has been approx. 0.931 and 0.94 respectively. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient has been used to investigate the relationship between spiritual leadership and workplace well-being.

Findings of the study reveal that spiritual leadership is strongly correlated with teachers’ well-being in secondary schools. There is a weak positive relationship among spiritual leadership, teachers’ relatedness and teachers’ competence needs. It is recommended that the head teachers should adopt spiritual style to run the school effectively because under this leadership, a healthy environment in schools might be developed and teachers may perform their duties better.
