While research evidence exists about Jordanian men’s perceptions and attitudes about violence against women (VAW), there is a scientific gap for addressing VAW as a Jordanian cultural norm. This study aimed to describe Jordanian men’s perceptions and attitudes toward VAW, leading factors for VAW, and strategies to combat VAW. A qualitative descriptive design was used with 14 Jordanian men and semi-structured interviews. Nine themes emerged: men’s definitions of VAW, men’s beliefs and attitudes about VAW, men’s feelings toward VAW, intensifying factors for VAW, men’s justification for women staying in abusive relationships, the hazardous impact of VAW, experience of using violence against wives, men’s strategies for combating VAW, and absence or limited role of services for victims of VAW. Men in many cultures including Jordan inherit structured patriarchal ideology, which gives men the perceived right to control women and to manage familial conflict. Inherited cultural beliefs about male roles within families should be restructured by collaborating with community stakeholders to combat VAW.

Abstrak  - Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari bias gender yang terdapat pada hasil terjemahan buku cerita anak di bandingankan dengan hasil terjemahan google translate. Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Sumber data dalam penelitian ini adalah dongeng Bawang Merah dan Bawang Putih yang diterjemahkan dan diceritakan kembali oleh Gibran Maulana dan diterjemahkan melalui aplikasi Google Translate Hasil penerjemahan antara Google Translate dan penerjemah hampir sama yaitu mengenai nama tokoh, nama ganti orang dan nama ganti kepemilikan. Pada aplikasi Google Translate dapat melakukan kesalahan karena konteks, budaya, nama orang, dan kata ganti orang tidak dapat terbaca dalam aplikasi tersebut. sedangakan hasil terjemahan dari penerjemah mengalami human error. Penerjemah dalam buku cerita anak masih belum bisa lepas dari pengaruh ideologi patriarki yang dapat ditujukkan dalam peran gender tradisional yang digambarkan yang membuat peran laki-laki lebih unggul daripada perempuan. Kata Kunci: bias gender, cerita dongeng, google translate Abstract - This study aims to look for gender biases found in the results of the translation of children's storybooks in light with the results of the google translate translation. In this study using a qualitative descriptive method. The data source in this study is the fairy tale of Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih which were translated and retold by Gibran Maulana and translated through the Google Translate application. The results of the translation between Google Translate and the translator are almost the same, namely regarding the names of characters, people's names and ownership names. The Google Translate application can make mistakes because the context, culture, people's names, and pronouns cannot be read in the application. while the translation results from translators experienced human error. Translators in children's story books still cannot be separated from the influence of patriarchal ideology which can be shown in traditional gender roles which are described which make the role of men superior to women. Keyoword : gender bias, fairy tales, google translate

Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the role of cultural beliefs on weaning. Therefore, the obtained results can be used for health policymakers who design strategies to prevent physical and mental damage to mothers and their children. The main objective of this study was to design a questionnaire probing the role of cultural beliefs on weaning. Materials and Methods: The sequential combination exploratory mixed methods design was used to develop the questionnaire format in two sections. The qualitative section was designed to probe the role of cultural beliefs on weaning, which included a literature and related tools review and fieldwork (semi-structured interviews with mothers). Twenty-two studies were examined in the literature review and 14 mothers were selected and interviewed by a purposive sampling technique. The interviews continued up to data saturation as well. In addition, data analyses for both steps were conducted using conventional and textual content analyses. The quantitative section was a methodology study that was accomplished in two parts. Questionnaire items were formed using the data and item pool obtained from the first part. Finally, the psychometric properties of the questionnaire were checked using face, content, and construct validity, followed by probing reliability using Cronbach’s alpha reliability in the second part. Results: Qualitative data analysis results were organized according to the foundational issues regarding the need for weaning, attitude toward weaning, awareness about weaning, society’s culture, health literacy, self-action, others’ experiences, professional help, family members’ support, and the outcomes. The item pool was formed using literature reviews and interviews. A 49-item questionnaire was developed after the completion of the psychometric process. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Index of Sampling Adequacy and Bartlett’s test of sphericity showed good results in this regard. Five components from the exploratory content analysis encompassing contexts, solutions, searching for help, maternal outcomes, and child-related outcomes demonstrated a 62.112% variance. Further, the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.88 and the interclass correlation coefficient was 0.89 based on responses to the items over two administrations of the questionnaire (P < 0.001). Thus, these results showed a high level of tool stability. Conclusions: For this study, a questionnaire was developed for understanding the role of cultural beliefs on weaning. It can be used for educational, research, and treatment purposes as a tool with appropriate validity and reliability, as well as short, easy, and grammatically simple items. Eventually, the questionnaire is useful for examining mothers’ false beliefs about weaning and their educational needs since false beliefs could cause destructive and health-threatening behaviors.

Abstract Background Contraceptive methods have rapidly evolved over the past several decades, but little research has explored how women interact with contraception over time. Exploring contraceptive beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes of women in midlife can reveal much about how lived experience affects contraceptive decisions and reproductive health choices. Methods Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 women between the ages of 40 and 55 who had not reached menopause and did not have a permanent method of sterilization. Data were coded using qualitative descriptive methods. Results Three major themes were identified: 1) journey toward empowerment; 2) finding the right fit: evolution over time; and 3) anticipating a transition. Past experiences with or fear of side effects and hormones were common reasons to change or avoid certain contraceptive methods. Most participants were happy with their contraceptive method; however, those who were unhappy were more likely to vocalize fatigue at continuing to need contraception as menopause approached. Conclusion Approaching contraceptive counseling from a place that considers the journey with contraception over a reproductive life span will help identify how beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes of women affect their contraceptive practices and choices.

Objetivo: descrever experiências relacionadas à vivência de cuidadoras sobre o cuidado de crianças com microcefalia associada ao Zika vírus. Método: trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo, exploratório, realizado com o apoio de duas participantes/cuidadoras de crianças com microcefalia, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e analisadas pelo software IRAMUTEQ, que gerou a nuvem de palavras e a árvore de similitude. Resultados: evidenciou-se o termo “filho” nos relatos como de suma importância na vida das cuidadoras. Percebeu-se que a figura paterna e/ou os familiares não estavam vinculados ao processo de cuidado e a assistência governamental direcionada às cuidadoras era falha devido à carência de atividades específicas de promoção de saúde. Aponta-se que as mães enfrentaram mudanças drásticas em suas trajetórias de vida e se sentiram sozinhas. Conclusão: constata-se que as experiências revelaram a sobrecarga, as responsabilidades e a ressignificação da identidade feminina com a autopercepção, prioritariamente, voltada para o papel social de mãe/cuidadora da criança com microcefalia. Descritores: Microcefalia; Zika Vírus; Cuidadores; Criança; Enfermagem; Pesquisa Qualitativa.AbstractObjective: to describe experiences related to female caregivers' experience regarding the care of children with microcephaly associated with the Zika virus. Method: this is a qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study, conducted with the support of two female participants/caregivers of children with microcephaly, through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by the IRAMUTEQ software, which generated the word cloud and the similarity tree. Results: the term “child” was evidenced in the reports as of paramount importance in the female caregivers' lives. It was noticed that the father figure and/or family members were not linked to the care process and the governmental assistance directed to the female caregivers was flawed due to the lack of specific health promotion activities. It is pointed out that mothers faced drastic changes in their life trajectories and felt alone. Conclusion: it can be seen that the experiences revealed the overload, the responsibilities and the resignification of the female identity with self-perception, primarily focused on the social role of mother/female caregiver of the child with microcephaly. Descriptors: Microcephaly; Zika vírus; Female Caregivers; Child; Nurse; Qualitative Research.ResumenObjetivo: describir las experiencias relacionadas con la experiencia de los cuidadores con respecto al cuidado de niños con microcefalia asociada al virus del Zika.

Resultados: el término "hijo" se evidenció en los informes como de suma importancia en la vida de los cuidadores. Se observó que la figura paterna y/o los miembros de la familia no estaban vinculados al proceso de atención y que la asistencia gubernamental dirigida a los cuidadores era defectuosa debido a la falta de actividades específicas de promoción de la salud. Se señala que las madres enfrentaron cambios drásticos en sus trayectorias de vida y se sintieron solas. Conclusión: se encontró que las experiencias revelaron la sobrecarga, las responsabilidades y la resignificación de la identidad femenina con la autopercepción, principalmente enfocada en el papel social de la madre/cuidadora del niño con microcefalia.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the work process dimensions related to innovative actions developed by nurses in Primary Health Care. Methods: qualitative, descriptive study, developed in Primary Health Care in a city in the Southern Region of Brazil. Seventy-six nurses, who worked in management and assistance, participated in this study through semi-structured interviews. After data processing by IRAMUTEQ software, the textual analysis occurred by descending hierarchical classification. Results: forty-two innovative actions, considered by the participants as new ways of working, were identified. There was a predominance of innovative actions related to the Management and Assist dimensions; we noticed the fragility of the actions to contemplate all the nurse’s work process dimensions. Final Considerations: the predominance of innovative actions was related to users’ assistance and better conditions in the teamwork process, besides highlighting the role of nurses in the perspective of a new way of working in health services.

The role of Pusat Pelayanan Terpadu Pem­ber­dayaan Perempuan dan Anak (P2TP2A)—translated in English: the Integrated Service Center for the Empowerment of Women and Children— in the context of development is very important in order to oversee the government's steps in minimizing and handling cases of violence against women and children which are getting higher intensity from year to year, especially in educational institutions in the form of peer violence and violence by teacher. This study seeks to describe the collaboration of P2TP2A and the Education Office of Depok City in preventing violence against children in educational insti­tutions. Observation and documentation studies are used as data collection techniques and qualitative descriptive analysis. This study produces findings including: 1) collab­oration of P2TP2A and the Education Agency in the prevention of violence against children in the educational environment carried out in the form of socialization “Stop violence on children” and the establishment of children's Forums; 2) involvement of P2TP2A in the recruitment of teachers and principals. The form of collaboration still needs to be improved, especially in the preparation of hidden curriculum programs for handling violence, budgeting violence prevention activities for children in the school environment, and strengthening the authority of prevention until the handling of violence against women and children. This collaboration is at least a starting point that Depok becomes one of the regions that is highly committed in realizing Child Friendly Cities so that children's rights in the context of education can be fulfilled and the number of violence against children can be minimized.

L1 Use

This study examines the role of the use of the L1 in EFL classes from the perspective of EFL learners. The triangulated data were collected using class observations, focus group semi-structured interviews and the learners’ written reports of their perceptions and attitudes in a purposedesigned questionnaire. The participants consisted of sixty male IranianEFL learners who constituted three classes. The results indicated a strong tendency among the participants toward L1 and its positive effects on language learning; while only a minority of the learners favoured an Englishonly policy, the majority supported the judicious, limited and occasional use of the L1, particularly on the part of the teacher. The participants mentionedthe advantages as well as the disadvantages of the use/non-use of the L1. While the major advantage and the main purpose of L1 use was said to be the clarification and intelligibility of instructions, grammatical and lexical items, the main advantages of avoiding it were stated as being the improvement of speaking and listening skills, maximizing learners’ exposureto English and their becoming accustomed to it. The study concludes that, overall and in line with the majority of the previous research studies, a judicious, occasional and limited use of the L1 is a better approach to take in EFL classes than to include or exclude it totally. In conclusion, a reexamination of the English-only policy and a reconsideration of the role of the L1 are recommended. Finally, the commonly held assumption that L1 is a hindrance and an impediment to the learners’ language learning is challenged.

Abstract To advance an emerging empirical knowledge base for age-friendly community initiatives (AFCIs), we conducted a qualitative descriptive study to explore one manifestation of age-friendly practice: community events (CEs). We aimed to illuminate how AFCI core teams describe CEs as part of their practice and how they perceive the value of CEs for age-friendly progress. Using inductive coding, we analyzed data from semi-structured interviews (n=24) with eight core teams across three time points spanning the early to mid-implementation phases of the AFCIs. Two predominant themes emerged. First, CEs were described as important for working toward age-friendly goals concerning older residents’ social participation and inclusion. Second, core teams described the longer-term strategic value of CEs, such as building interorganizational partnerships; providing deeper insight on aging in community; and fostering older adults’ leadership as part of the initiative. We discuss implications for advancing transdisciplinary program theory to guide more sustainable and effective AFCIs.
