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.

Abstract Objective The entire family is affected when a parent is severely ill. Parents often need and appreciate professional support when talking to children about illness and death. The family talk intervention (FTI) is family-centered and intends to promote communication about the illness and its consequences, support parenting to enhance family coping and help family members share experiences with each other to create a shared family history. This study aimed to explore potential effects of FTI in specialized palliative home care, as reported by parents. Method This pre-post test intervention pilot was conducted in specialized palliative home care. A convergent mixed-method design was used to analyze interview and questionnaire data. Twenty families with dependent children were recruited from two specialized palliative home care units in Stockholm, Sweden. Results Parents reported that family communication improved after participation in FTI as family members learned communication strategies that facilitated open sharing of thoughts and feelings. Increased open communication helped family members gain a better understanding of each other's perspectives. Parents reported that relationships with their partner and children had improved as they now shared several strategies for maintaining family relationships. Parents were also less worried following participation in FTI. The ill parents stated that they gained a sense of security and were less worried about the future. Significance of results This study adds to the evidence that FTI may be a useful intervention for families with dependent children and an ill parent in a palliative care setting. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03119545.

Relevance. Adolescence is an important stage in human life. It offers a lot of possibilities for personal development, but it also presents serious challenges, such as development of autonomy, the search for individuality. Parent-child relationships are generally considered a factor of the development of adolescent’s autonomy. Family psychology identifies adolescence as basis for a separate stage in the family life cycle. In this regard, it seems important to investigate the processes of separation and development of the autonomy of adolescents not only in parent-child relations, but in a wider family context. Objective. The goal of the research is to study the family factors of autonomy and separation processes development in adolescence. Method and participants. 51 adolescents in age from 13 to 18 years took part in the study. The following methods were used: questionnaires on autonomy and separation processes, family and child-parent relations, “Family Sociogram”, the incomplete sentences method. Main results. The main content of the ideas about independence and autonomy in adolescents is shown: adolescents determine their autonomy primarily through the behavioral aspect and alienation. Emotional differentiation goes difficult, and adolescents are often susceptible to emotional influence in relationships with significant people. Fear of losing sovereignty is negatively associated with family cohesion, expressiveness, and independence of family members. Neurotic denial of dependence on others is negatively associated with family cohesion, independence of family members, and transparency of family rules. Lack of acceptance of the adolescent, excessive emotional distancing and lack of consent and cooperation in the family is negatively connected with autonomy development and separation of adolescents. Conclusions. It is necessary to consider the development of autonomy and separation processes in adolescence in the context of family relations. Negative family factors are connected with separation difficulties and lack of autonomy in adolescence.

Abstrak: Kajian ini difokuskan pada persoalan, secara garis besar, bagaimana pandangan kyai tentang kafâ`ah dan praktiknya dalam perkawinan. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif karena subjek yang diteliti memerlukan pengamatan secara utuh dan menyeluruh tentang kondisi yang sebenarnya. Data dalam  kajian ini diperoleh melalui observasi partisipan, dan wawancara mendalam. Kajian ini menghasilkan temuan bahwa kyai melakukan perkawinan antar keluarga dekat dan kerabat yang berasal dari keluarga kyai juga. Mereka menghindari terjadinya perkawinan dengan kerabat lain yang berasal dari keluarga non kyai. Dalam kaitannya dengan sikap perkawinan kyai ini, ditemukan dua tipe kyai yang berbeda yaitu: Pertama, tipe  kyai fanatik keturunan; kedua, tipe kyai fleksibel dalam memberikan keputusan. Kyai fanatik keturunan menjadikan faktor keturunan sebagai alasan pertama dan utama dalam memilih pendamping hidup bagi anak-anaknya. dalam mengambil langkah tindakannya kyai fanatik keturunan ini setidaknya dipengaruhi oleh dua hal. Pertama, adanya wasiat nenek moyang yang diikuti oleh generasi berikutnya. Kedua, adanya usaha untuk menjaga kemurnian keturunan. Sedangkan kyai fleksibel tidak begitu  fanatik terhadap keturunan dalam mengambil keputusan. Dalam masalah kafâ’ah, selain faktor keturunan, mereka juga mempertimbangkan faktor yang lain, seperti faktor kekayaan, nilai agama yang kuat serta kecakapan ilmu pengetahuan.   Abstract: This study was designed to examine the view of kyai toward kafâ`ah and its practice in marriage. Qualitative approach has been used to collect intact and whole data from the subject by using the instruments of participatory observation and in-depth interview. It was found that kyai performs a marriage with the close family members and among relatives. They avoid a marriage with a family of different lineage particularly non-kyai family.  From the perspective of this marriage attitude, it could be catagorized two types of kyai. Firstly, is a kyai which is offspring fanatic, and secondly, a kyai which is flexible in giving decision. The former is influenced by two factors---firstly, ancestor will and second, the attempts to keep the family chasity. The later is not adhering strictly to the family genuinity. Kafâ`ah also takes a consideration on other factors such as opulence, the firm religious values, and knowledge proficiency.   Kata-kata Kunci: Kyai, kafâ`ah, Madura, dan perkawinan

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.
