Current research presents five case studies of maternal neonaticide in Georgia. Participants were under the age of thirty, with incomplete secondary education, unemployed, dependent on their families’ low income, living in the rural areas of Georgia. In three cases, participants resided with their family of origin. They were not married or in a relationship with the father of the child. They described their families and communities as conservative, holding strong cultural/religious beliefs against premarital sexual relations/childbirth out of wedlock. They lacked problem solving and coping skills, avoided making decisions concerning the pregnancy by concealing it. This being their first pregnancy, they gave birth alone followed by panic and fear of detection, committed neonaticide and hid the body of the infant. None of them had a prior criminal record. In the remaining cases, participants were married, lived with their spouses and children, had financial hardships. Both reported psychological and physical abuse from their spouses. One of them had a prior criminal offense for possessing controlled substances. The motive for neonaticide was an unwanted child due to an extramarital affair and threat of financial abandonment from extended family. In both cases, infants suffered fatal injuries. All participants reported lack of social support and emotional neglect from family members. These results are in line with international research, suggesting that certain patterns among these mothers are shared. Psychosocial factors associated with neonaticide should be utilized in the process of planning and implementing preventive strategies in health, social and legal frameworks.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Abstract Background: To determine the prevalence of premarital sex and its risk factors in Nepal.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among adolescents in Nepal. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information from 6,147 unmarried adolescents. Random sampling by using a lottery method was applied to select 20 colleges from all three districts. All the students who were studying at those colleges were enrolled in the study. Simple and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out to analyse the associations of risk factors and premarital sex.Results: The prevalence of premarital sex was 38.1%. Male students were more likely to engage in premarital sex (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.04, confidence interval [CI]=1.76-2.36) than female students. Alcohol consumption (AOR=1.26, CI=1.08-1.47), smoking (AOR=1.69, CI=1.41-2.02), drug use (AOR=1.85, CI=1.23-2.83), going to night clubs (AOR=1.46, CI=1.24-1.70), clothing style of girls AOR=1.35, CI=1.15-1.58), clothing style of boys (AOR=3.51, CI=2.74-4.53), and unmarried friends having sex (AOR= 1.51, CI=1.31-1.73) were found to be major influencing factors for premarital sex. Moreover, students who had never received sex education were 2.92 times more likely to engage in premarital sex (CI=2.22-3.85) than those who had previously received sex education.Conclusions: We found several risk factors associated with premarital sex in Nepal. Preventing premarital sex may require the promotion of sex education.

Young people’s sexuality is often stigmatized in South Asian societies, including Nepal, where premarital sex is not accepted socially and culturally. However, the prevalence of early sexual activities among adolescents has increased over time. Given this background, this paper aimed to explore the prevalence of premarital sexual behaviour among the urban high school adolescents. This study utilized a cross-sectional design and collected a total of 609 students of grade 9-12 [ages 10-19] from both community and institutional schools in the Kathmandu metropolis. A validated structured questionnaire was employed and data were analyzed using SPSS with version 24. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed to interpret the results. The study showed that the mean age of the respondents was 16 years. More than half of adolescents (52.4%) ever watched pornography, amongst whom eight percent did it on a regular basis. Similarly, 14 percent of in-school adolescents ever experienced premarital vaginal sexual intercourse, where the median age for the sexual debut was 16 years. Male respondents tended to be 13 times more likely to have premarital sex compared to the girls. Respondents who were exposed to pornography materials were likely to be exposed by 5.7 times higher than that who were not. Further, 48 percent respondents who ever had sex did not use condoms during their first sexual intercourse, followed by 45 percent who had multiple sex partners.The study concluded that a notable proportion of adolescents was involved in premarital sexual behaviours followed with vaginal sexual intercourse, especially among the boy students. Hence, the results of this study suggest school-based comprehensive sexuality education to minimize the risky sexual behaviour and promote the safer sexual activities among the secondary level school adolescents.

AbstractPremarital sexual behaviour is a common behaviour in adolescence. The environment around the prostitution area can adversely affect the behaviour and personality development of adolescents. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with premarital sexual behaviour among adolescents who lived in former prostitution area based on transcultural nursing theory. A cross-sectional method was used for this study. The samples were 109 students who lived in the former prostitution area of Surabaya, chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The independent variables were knowledge, economic, lifestyle and cultural values, family and social support, religiosity, rules and policies, and technology. The dependent variable was premarital sexual behaviour. Data were collected by questionnaires and then statistically tested with Spearman’s rho (ρ ≤ 0.05). The results showed that only religiosity had significant association with premarital sexual behaviour among adolescents (p = 0.004). While the other factors were not significantly associated with premarital sexual behaviour among adolescents. Religiosity is the most motivating factor to prevent deviant behaviour, including in terms of sexuality. These findings indicate the importance of religious teachings in educating children to behave properly.

Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analytical models were fitted to identify factors associated with the premarital sexual practice. A 95% CI and p-value < 0.05 were used to declare statistical significance.ResultThe prevalence of premarital sexual practice was 10.8% (95% CI, 10 % – 11.5%).
