In Slovenia, quite a few researchers have studied fertility and suicide, but rarely have the connections between both phenomena been made. The author aims to overcome simplified explanations of ...falling fertility and rising suicide rates by studying population dynamics as a socially relevant issue both at the Slovenian as well as the global level. She studies fertility and suicide by focusing on the historical development of population issues, recent theoretical population analyses and demographic statistics. Fertility and suicide are analysed from the viewpoint of approaches developed in the social sciences and humanities. In the second part of the monograph, these approaches are applied to fertility and suicide trends in Slovenia and press media reports on both issues.By providing an overview of the history of studying fertility and suicide in Slovenia and abroad, the author has concluded that most approaches to fertility and suicide are grounded on the premises of the modernisation theory. Nevertheless, she was not discouraged to study alternative approaches to fertility and suicide that, according to researchers in the humanities, do not necessarily have a lower explanatory potential.
Članek opisuje spolnost v okviru ostalih dimenzij zdravja in predstavi definicijo spolnega zdravja SZO ter poudari potrebo po tem, da se spolnost obravnava kot del procesa zdravstvene nege in kot ...integralni del posameznikove blaginje.
Spolnost je kot integralni del nespolnih življenjskih procesov dinamična in evolucijska. Ljudje smo emocionalno, kognitivno, vedenjsko in spolno spremenljiva bitja. Reagiramo, se prilagajamo in ...razvijamo. Namen članka je pomagati razumeti spolnost in jo znati obravnavati v okviru zdravstvene nege.
The definitive "go to" text for Master's and Doctoral level courses on behavioral intervention research. It provides comprehensive coverage of the development, testing, and implementation of novel ...behavioral interventions in service and practice settings.
This handbook provides comprehensive coverage of one of the most under-discussed and understood areas of public health research: developing, testing, and implementing novel behavioral interventions in service and practice settings. It examines the most critical issues related to behavioral intervention research in order to maximize the ability of intervention researchers to successfully implement current and future evidenced-based intervention protocols in targeted practice settings.
Članek predstavlja rezultate raziskave o svetovanju medicinskih sester v zvezi s spolnostjo pacientkam, ki jim je bila operativno izrezana maternica v Splošni bolnišnici Celje. Osnovni cilji ...raziskave so bili ugotoviti, koliko poznajo medicinske sestre vpliv histerektomije na spolno življenje pacientk, kakšno je dejansko izvajanje svetovanja o spolnosti po histerektomiji pri delu medicinskih sester tega oddelka in kaj po njihovem mnenju vpliva na pogovor o spolnosti po histerektomiji, tako s strani medicinske sestre kot pacientke. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 33 medicinskih sester. Podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da medicinske sestre poznajo vplive histerektomije na spolno življenje pacientk, vendar kljub temu, da sprejemajo svetovanje o spolnosti kot del zdravstvene nege, pri svojem delu le občasno svetujejo pacientkam o spolnosti po histerektomiji.
Reducing Adolescent Risk: Toward an Integrated Approach focuses on common influences that result in a number of interrelated risk behaviors in order to design more unified, comprehensive prevention ...strategies. Edited by Daniel Romer, this book summarizes presentations and discussions held at the Adolescent Risk Communication Institute of the University of Pennsylvania Annenberg Public Policy Center. Concentrating on common causes for varied risk behaviors, a group of leading researchers and intervention specialists from different health traditions synthesize current knowledge about risks to adolescent health in several areas, including drugs and alcohol, tobacco, unprotected sex, suicide and depression, and gambling. Primarily intended for graduate students, scholars, and researchers in psychology, sociology, social work, and public health, Reducing Adolescent Risk is also an extraordinary resource for policy makers in government organizations and foundations.
The monograph (Between Self-Fulfillment and Social Expectations: The Attitude of the University-Educated Towards Fertility) considers a wider social background of reproductive decisions in ...university-educated people stemming from the evidence about the lowest birth rates among the university-educated population. This is a sociological study despite the examination of two established approaches in studying the relationship between education and fertility within the economic theories of fertility behaviour. The monograph considers some major results of sociological, anthropological and other qualitative studies which have importantly upgraded conclusions of extensive demographic surveys on this relationship.
The paper presents the results of a questionnaire survey on adoption of organic farming in Podravska region. The survey was conducted on the sample of 58 organic farms and 99 conventional farms in ...the year 2005. The results show certain differences among both groups of farms in information adoption and attitudes towards nature sustainability. Both groups of farms use different information sources, and are members in different associations. Also the level of environmental awareness is higher by organic farmers but in many other characteristics the differences are not significant. The analysis of future plans of conventional farmers also revealed a significant proportion of farms which are undecided regarding the conversion of their farms to organic agriculture in the next 10 years.
Prispevek podaja rezultate anketne raziskave o sprejemanju ekoloŠkega kmetijstva v Podravju. Raziskava je zajela vzorec 58 ekoloŠkih in 99 konvencionalnih kmetij v letu 2005. Rezultati kažejo doloČene razlike med obema preuČevanima skupinama kmetij glede iskanja in uporabe informacij, in odnosa do trajnosti naravnega okolja. Tako kmetje iz posamezne skupine uporabljajo razliČne informacijske vire in so Člani razliČnih združenj. Tudi raven okoljske zavesti je viŠja pri ekoloŠkih kmetih, pri mnogih ostalih znaČilnostih pa ni bilo opaziti signifikantnih razlik. Analiza prihodnjih naČrtov konvencionalnih kmetov je razkrila, da je velik delež takih, ki so neopredeljeni glede možnosti konverzije svoje kmetije v ekoloŠko v prihodnjih 10 letih.
Neugodni demografski trendi v Evropi, zlasti nizka rodnost in staranje prebivalstva, ter njihove družbene posledice so vedno bolj pogost predmet razprav v politiki kot tudi znanosti. Poleg ...pronatalističnih ukrepov se prav ukrepi v zvezi s priseljevanjem kažejo kot najbolj verjeten scenarij reševanja tako neugodne demografske podobe. Vendar povsem odprtega priseljevanja ne podpirata niti evropsko javno mnenje niti vlade članic EU. S tega vidika avtorici prispevka presojata stališča respondentov do priseljencev v okviru mednarodne raziskave Population Policy Acceptance. Avtorici domnevata, da so stališča do priseljencev podložena tudi s posameznikovim vrednotenjem rodnosti, partnerskih odnosov, vlog med spoloma in otrok. Ideologije o nacionalni identiteti skozi razprave o nacionalni reprodukciji namreč implicitno opredeljujejo tudi nečlane (priseljence, manjšine, tujce, azilante) svojih zamišljenih skupnosti, ko natančno definirajo, kdo in koliko se sme reproducirati. Raziskava, ki je potekala med leti 2000 in 2003, zajema podatke iz osmih držav, t.j. Avstrije, Češke republike, Estonije, Finske, Nemčije, Madžarske, Poljske in Slovenije. Na podlagi pregleda različnih teoretičnih pristopov k preučevanju stališč do tujcev v zadnjem desetletju sta avtorici zastavili izhodiščne hipoteze, s katerimi sta preverjali povezave med stališči do priseljencev in stališči, ki se navezujejo na rodnost, partnerske odnose, vloge med spoloma in otroke. Ob tem, da negativne presoje prisotnosti priseljencev močno prevladujejo nad pozitivnimi presojami, sta s pomočjo bivariatne korelacijske analize ugotovili, da z naraščanjem podpore tradicionalnim vlogam med spoloma, z naraščanjem negativnega presojanja sprememb v partnerskem vedenju (naraščanja razvez, upadanja porok, neodločanje za starševstvo, zunaj zakonska rojstva) in pomenom, ki ga imajo otroci za starše, narašča tudi negativno presojanje prisotnosti priseljencev. V nasprotju z njunim pričakovanjem, da obstaja zveza med presojanjem priseljencev in rodnostnim vedenjem, je bila ta zveza v vseh državah med najšibkejšimi. Tak rezultat podpira opažanja tistih preučevalcev stališč do tujcev, ki opozarjajo na paradoks negativnega javnega odzivanja na priseljence v Evropi in to v času, ko se priselitve kažejo kot eden izmed bolj verjetnih scenarijev reševanja družbenih posledic nizke rodnosti in staranja prebivalstva. Rezultati govorijo v prid potrebe po bolj sistematičnem preučevanju reprezentacij nacionalnih identitet, oziroma nacionalnih populacij in skupnosti, saj različni razpravljalci prav skozi govor o nacionalni reprodukciji natančno opredeljujejo »pravilna« stališča do materinstva, oblik družin, vlog med spoloma in nenazadnje outsiderjev.
