Older parents are at risk of having to accompany their adult children through a severe illness, sometimes even to their death. The present study investigates the experiences of being a parent to an adult child with a severe illness and what support was helpful during the child＇s period of illness. Method： A qualitative approach with in-depth interviews which were analyzed using content analysis. Results： The results showed that a common perception was that it is very special to have a child with a severe illness. The underlying elements of existential experience and the relationship both influenced the parents＇ conceptions of life and permeated the whole situation. There were four areas that the parents found important and influenced how they could manage the situation： having information, participation, strategies to cope with the situation, and support. Conclusions： Accompanying an adult child through a severe and potentially fatal disease in the context of a growing elderly population will become an increasingly frequent problem. So far there is limited research in this area and more research should be a high priority in the future.展开更多

The changes correspond to changes in the birth-rate. The former model of birth-rate which was characterized by the prevalence of legitimate children, child-bearing at a younger age and which ensured a change of generations, it was replaced by a new model characterized by having illegitimate children, the postponement of child-bearing, and low birth-rate, which does not ensure a change of generations. Although love relationships, marriage, and children are still considered to be the recognized values, these changes have affected the conception of child＇s education in the family and the perception of child as a value. It is therefore relevant to evaluate future spouses＇ preparation for a modern marriage and to constantly improve it. Such preparation is usually understood as young people＇s readiness far their first marriage. Readiness for the second marriage and child＇s education in the second family are no less important though still insufficiently explored empirically and theoretically generalized. This paper explores attitudes to child＇s education in the second marriage. The research was conducted inquiring people who wanted to create a family or establish long-term relationships. They were members of the online dating site ＂Harmonious Couple＂.展开更多

Young children are the most susceptible targets. Parents can decide whether to vaccinate their children or not based on their own consideration in China. The aim of this study was to identify factors that are important for parental decisions on vaccinating their children against seasonal influenza based on a modified health belief model （HBM）. Methods： A cross-sectional study was conducted in Guangzhou, China. A total of 335 parents who had at least on child aged between 6 months and 3 years were recruited from women and children＇s hospital in Guangzhou, China. Each eligible subject was invited for a face-to-face interview based on a standardized questionnaire. Results： Uptake of seasonal influenza within the preceding 12 months among the target children who aged between 6 months and 36 months was 47.7%. Around 62.4% parents indicated as being ＂likely/very likely＂ to take their children for seasonal influenza vaccination in the next 12 months. The hierarchical logistic regression model showed that children＇s age （odds ratio [OR] =2.59, 95% confidence interval [C/I： 1.44-4.68）, social norm （OR = 2.08, 95% CI： 1.06-4.06） and perceived control （OR - 2.96, 95% CI： 1.60-5.50） were significantly and positively associated with children＇s vaccination uptake within the preceding 12 months; children with a history of taking seasonal influenza vaccine （OR = 2.50, 95% CI： 1.31-4.76）, perceived children＇s health status （OR = 3.36, 95% C1： 1.68-6.74）, worry/anxious about their children influenza infection （OR = 2.31, 95% CI： 1.19-4.48） and perceived control （OR = 3.21, 95% CI： 1.65-6.22） were positively association with parental intention to vaccinate their children in the future 12 months. However, anticipated more regret about taking children for the vaccination was associated with less likely to vaccinate children within the preceding 12 months （OR = 0.21, 95% CI： 0.08-0.52）. Conclusions： The modified HBM provided a good theoretical basic for understanding factors associated with parents＇ decisions on their children＇s vaccination against seasonal influenza.展开更多
