Family Communication Pattern

Poor parent–child communication on sexual issues show deficiency in adolescent’s sexual information seeking behaviour. Through the family communication pattern and attachment theory, the study adopted the qualitative research method with the use of focus group discussion (FGD) and in-depth interview to examine communication between parents and adolescent girls. Twenty-four students were drawn from four secondary schools within Ibadan North LGA as sample for the FGD, while four parents each were selected from the schools for the in-depth interview through a simple random and purposive sampling. Female adolescents (students) are scared of sharing sexual problems with parents; hence, they seek information from informal sources such as Internet, friends and movies which has led them to follow a sexual risk lifestyle. Majority of parents are confronted with challenges when discussing sexual issues with their female children. And most mothers educate their girl child than fathers on sexual issues; hence, majority of female students confide more in their mothers than their fathers. Adolescent girls are at risk of receiving wrong information on sexual issues; thus, parents should promote an atmosphere of open communication with their adolescent girls about sexual-health-related issues to avoid any sexual problems in the future.

In a society which recognizes the significance of children, giving birth to a child completes womanhood and the family. Thus, being a mother is synonymous with being a woman. The failure, then to become a mother, constitutes not fully achieving the status of a woman. Relatively, the desire for motherhood is inevitable and almost universal. This qualitative study analyzed the beliefs, and experiences of married women focused on their childlessness, health-seeking practices, and effects. Data were gathered through in-depth interview. Results showed that childlessness typified an unanticipated condition among the childless women. Regardless of the current age, age at marriage, marital duration, educational attainment and income, the respondents disclosed that childlessness is a condition which can be treated, provided the woman is still young. Childless women with higher income would likely seek medical help. Length of marriage disclosed to have affected the childless women’s recognition of their incapability to sire. Open communication coupled with trust, love, and understanding between couples would keep the marriage intact. Findings revealed that their self-esteem, marital relationship, relationship with relatives and friends were affected by the absence of children. Almost all of the respondents expressed that the communities they are into neither, in any way, bothered with their condition nor rejected them due to their childlessness.

Families With Children

This article aims to find a shift in Minangkabau culture that began from a family environment. This article studied four types of Minangkabau families with children aged 10-19 years. This study applied descriptive qualitative research methods with in-depth interview techniques. The SPEAKING model of Hymes was used to construct communication patterns within the family when passing down Minangkabau’s norms through storytelling to children. Norms that do not resemble Minangkabau cultural teachings were taught by families with Minang fathers, while families with non-Minang fathers taught norms that were similar to Minangkabau cultural teachings. This family always taught the value of survival and common sense due their status as migrants. In fact, this is the core value instilled by the ancestors of the Minangkabau people that was misunderstood by their younger generations. The meaning of survival and common sense value introduced by Minangkabau cultural teachings need to be clarified to children through their family environment, so that they can be closer to their own cultural roots. This condition makes them keen to build their own region equipped with positive values learned from the Minangkabau culture.

Background: Hope Foundation for Cancer Care has been organizing programs for parent–child camps for family suffering with cancer. Communications between parents and their minor children are expected to improve by talking about cancers and emotional management for being uncertain, worried or even scared when faced with cancers. Aim: Hope Foundation for Cancer Care strives to support families to apply the befits from the camps to their day-to-day family lives to let the family members know that communication about cancer is not a once-off experience but continuous efforts in the future. Methods: Without knowing how the camps might turn out beforehand, the research set off at a semistructured depth interview to gather information about the subjective interpretation of participants. Results: The study shows that most participants were quite impressed with the camp, which ran in a casual way, and they were satisfied with related themes in those activities. They were very willing to share their personal experiences with the camp for better mutual understanding and more intimate feelings revealed among family members. Attending the camp also offered those parents to rest and free from taking care of their children, and changed the way they used to communicate. Besides, the participants suggested to shorten the durations of each scheduled session to lessen the physical pressure of patients. Conclusion: In the end of the research, it is considered great challenge to strike a balance between recreational output and experiential output. After all, it has long been the very incentive to design an environment for cancer patients and their children to learn to relax, which seems too loose when it lacks balance. On the other hand, one of the main goals is set to open communication access to understand cancers, which may be reached by other service programs. Therefore, derivation of diverse methods and programs are now one of our priorities.

Five-star hotels are known by their immense competitiveness, first-class portrayal and are superior in level of extravagance, eccentricity, representation, sophistication and amenities. Slow growth of five-star hotels aggravates strong competition, thus forcing hotel businesses to be competitive. This study attempts to analyze service quality and brand awareness toward strategic competitiveness and its impact on the performance of XYZ Hotel. The study applies both quantitative and qualitative research, which were obtained from questionnaire distribution to 100 respondents who have stayed at the hotel, in-depth interview with the PR and Front Office managers, and Focus Group Discussion with managers and hotel experts from Jakarta and Tangerang. The finding suggests that service quality has no correlation with strategic competitiveness and no significant impact on performance. Thus, brand awareness was found to be the most influential factor on strategic competitiveness. However, it is necessitated that five-star hotel continuously improve the quality of its service and the factors associated with service quality.
