The research aimed to interpret the perceptions of early marriage, the union of two people in which one or both are under 18 years of age, through a phenomenological approach. The analysis was performed using observation techniques along with participation in in-depth interviews supported with an inductive approach of documentation analysis. The results showed that the society in Bawean Island, Indonesia, perceived the need for early marriage of 15-16 years old girls as matchmaking, avoidance of the social sanction of fornication and out-of-wedlock pregnancy, and as an economical solution for parents to shift responsibility. The results further showed that matchmaking and the avoidance of fornication are significant motivators for early marriage. Also, it was found that early marriages caused adverse effects on the wife, husband, and children. The effects are related to cases of pregnancy complication for the wife and psychological stress for the husband. The effect on children born of the early marriage is mainly neonatal infant mortality. The solutions offered to support the population development target and decrease early marriage numbers are to improve access to health facilities and information for women, and overcome cultural and social norms by discussing the impacts of early marriage with social and religious figures and stakeholders. The research can be used by the National Population and Family Planning Board (Indonesia) to decrease the number of early marriages in society.

While village cadres, along with town and county officials, are often portrayed as the strong arm of the state, enforcing the birth policy regardless of the social and personal costs, the relationship between villagers, cadres, and officials is, in fact, more fluid and complex. In-depth interviews with local cadres, including village leaders, midwives, and family planning cadres, as well as town and county officials, show a more dynamic and at times reciprocal relationship between local leaders and villagers. Many of the village cadres and officials interviewed admitted that it was not uncommon for births to go unregistered for years and that official birth counts and population reports compiled at the village level and sent up to the town governments were, at times, incomplete. The interviews reveal mutual noncompliance and selective policy implementation at the grassroots and even town and county levels.

Participatory health interventions have long been advocated as an approach to help marginalised community members exercise their rights as citizens, including access to health care. More than two decades ago, the Roma health mediation programme was established in Romania as a participatory community health intervention. Mediators are employed specifically to act as intermediaries between ‘Roma patients’ and local authorities or health professionals, with the overall aim to increase trust and improve access to health care. Based on data gathered during a year of ethnographic fieldwork with Roma health mediators in Romania, including participant observation and interviews, this article analyses the social processes by which participatory approaches produce both social inclusion and exclusion. It illustrates how mediators exceeded their remit of health and attempted to discipline communities into forms of neoliberal citizenship. Mediators reframed access to health care not as a right that community members already have, but as a benefit that must be individually ‘earned’ through the fulfilment of neoliberal citizenship. The article argues that far from being an ‘empowering tool’, community participation can extend the power of governing institutions and thereby may in fact contribute to the maintenance of a political status quo that perpetuates the precarisation of marginalised communities.

The rate of early marriage is 87% in northwest Nigeria, although it is 56% in Kaduna. One major issue is that early marriage is often rationalized as a religious norm. This study explores the role of faith leaders in advancing the cause of adolescent girls regarding the timing of marriage in Kaduna state. This qualitative study took place in three local government areas: Chikun (Mixed Christians and Muslims), Makarfi (majority Muslims), and Zangon-Kataf (majority Christians) were purposively selected to have a variety of mixed religious contexts. Using purposive sampling methods, the researcher conducted 24 focus group discussions with adolescent girls, 24 in-depth interviews with faith leaders, and 12 key informant interviews with other stakeholders. The study used a framework method for analyzing qualitative data. The study found that faith leaders play essential roles in rationalizing or discouraging early marriage through preaching and other activities. The study identifies three categories of faith leaders concerning early marriage. Some are proactive, discoursing about it. The second category is the passive faith leaders, somehow indifferent but has never preached against or in favor of early marriage. The last set consists of faith leaders promoting early marriage—who think early marriage is still beneficial. The study recommends that considering the social position of faith leaders and critical role in sanctioning marital unions, they could be considered as a vital link in efforts to curtail early marriage.

Abstract Background The psychological birth trauma is a universal phenomenon in childbearing women. The influences could extend in a wide range, which includes the mothers’ health, mother-infant relationship, partner relationship. The medical staff could even choose to quit playing their part in the birthing process. The phenomenon has gradually garnered attention around the world. However, it has rarely been discussed under Chinese special conditions. The study was to explore Chinese women’s lived experiences of psychological birth trauma during labor and birth. Methods A descriptive phenomenological approach was adopted in this study. Twenty-four women were recruited, who reported having experienced psychological birth trauma. In-depth interviews were conducted within 1 week after birth. Colaizzi’s method was used to analyze the data. Results Twenty-four women participated in the study. Four themes emerged to describe the women’s experience of psychological birth trauma: “How am I supposed to relieve the endless pain?” “ Can’t I be weak?” “Am I not important?” “What uncertainties are waiting for me?” Conclusions The findings provide deep insight into Chinese women’s unique experience of psychological birth trauma. The social and health system could prevent psychological harm during birth and promote maternal health by measures of pain management, thoughtful attention, adequate caring, and prenatal preparation.

The focus of this research is about the pattern of relationships that are built in the households resulting from early marriage among the santri community in three villages in Gondanglegi District, Malang Regency, namely Ganjaran, Putukrejo and Sukosari - three villages with the strongest pesantren base in Gondanglegi region. The starting point is the strengthening of the assumption that early marriage is one of the main causes of domestic violence - where women are always victims, divorce and even trafficking in women and children. The study using this phenomenological approach concluded that the pattern of relationships built in the households resulting from early marriage of the santri community does require an adaptation process, from submission to agreement, with the uniqueness of each partner. However, the households they cultivate persist and last normally as households in general. The teachings of religion and the social values ​​about household that they hold firm, as part of the typical character of the santri community, are one of the strength factors.

ABSTRACTCharacter education must be carried out collectively and massively, including in the family environment. This study aims to describe the socialization of character values in single parent families in Bojonegoro. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, and takes place in Dusun Beton, Kedungadem District, Bojonegoro Regency. The research informants were single parents who were selected purposively. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and extracting secondary data, and were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis model. The socialization of character education in single parent families in Bojonegoro is distinguished by the time of the divorce and the age of the child. In a single parent family, when the child's age of divorce is still small, it has an impact on the lack of character education. Divorce that occurs in parents gives value to the child's understanding to repeat and not to repeat it in the future. Children in single parent families get more understanding and examples of behavior as well as values and norms in high school. In addition, a child sees himself as a victim of his parents' behavior. While the social learning process is at the stage of imitation and modeling.Keywords: education, character, family, single parent AbstrakPendidikan karakter harus dilakukan secara kolektif dan masif, termasuk di lingkungan keluarga. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan sosialisasi nilai-nilai karakter pada keluarga single parent di Bojonegoro. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi, dan mengambil lokasi di Dusun Beton, Kecamatan Kedungadem, Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Informan penelitian adalah orangtua single parent yang dipilih secara purposive. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan penggalian data sekunder, serta dianalisis menggunakan model analisis interaktif Miles dan Huberman. Sosialisasi pendidikan karakter pada keluarga single parent di Bojonegoro dibedakan berdasarkan waktu terjadinya perceraian dengan usia anak. Pada keluarga single parent yang waktu perceraiannya usia anak masih kecil berdampak minimnya pendidikan karakter. Peceraian yang terjadi pada orangtua memberikan nilai terhadap pemahaman anak untuk mengulang dan tidak mengulanginya di masa depan. Anak pada keluarga single parent lebih banyak mendapatan pemahaman dan contoh perilaku serta nilai dan norma di sekolah menengah. Selain itu, seorang anak menganggap dirinya sebagai korban terhadap perilaku orangtuanya. Sedangkan proses pembelajaran sosial berada pada tahap peniruan dan modeling.Kata Kunci: pendidikan, karakter, keluarga, orang tua tunggal

Inductive Thematic Analysis

Abstract Introduction Prior research shows that maternal and child health (MCH) and family planning (FP) divisions in health departments (HDs) engage in some abortion-related activities, largely when legally mandated; some agencies also initiate abortion-related activities. Yet little is known about health department MCH/FP professionals’ views on how abortion-related work aligns with their professional mission. Methods Between November 2017 and June 2018, we conducted in-depth interviews with 29 MCH/FP professionals working in 22 state and local HDs across the U.S. We conducted inductive thematic analysis to identify themes regarding participants’ professional mission and values in relation to abortion-related work. Results Participants described a strong sense of professional mission. Two contrasting perspectives on abortion and the MCH/FP mission emerged: some participants saw abortion as clearly outside the scope of their mission, even a threat to it, while others saw abortion as solidly within their mission. In states with supportive or restrictive abortion policy environments, professionals’ views on abortion and professional mission generally aligned with their overall state policy environment; in states with middle-ground abortion policy environments, a range of perspectives on abortion and professional mission were expressed. Participants who saw abortion as within their mission anchored their work in core public health values such as evidence-based practice, social justice, and ensuring access to health care. Discussion There appears to be a lack of consensus about whether and how abortion fits into the mission of MCH/FP. More work is needed to articulate whether and how abortion aligns with the MCH/FP mission.
