“…The more Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies positive attitudes toward sexting among Croatians compared to the Bosnian sample can be explained by the fact that Croatian youth come from a less traditional culture. Modern Croatian culture is characterized as liberal and permissive [69], which is also supported by the findings of Štulhofer et al [70], who found a clear trend towards more sexual permissiveness among young people from Croatia in the period from 1972 to 2005.…”

Many sexting studies conducted in the Western cultures have shown that the percentage is higher in less traditional cultures. However, the generalizability of this phenomenon to non-Western cultures has not been extensively researched. The purpose of this study is to examine and explain cross-cultural differences in sexting behavior among subjects from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. A mixed methods approach was used. The first, qualitative phase included focus groups with two groups of high school students from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia ( N = 57 ), aged 15 to 19. In the second, quantitative phase, questionnaires were sent to 440 young adults with an average age of 21 years ( SD = 3.8 ). From the interviews with the young people, nonconsensual sexting was perceived as less beneficial. Sexting was viewed as a double standard. The quantitative study revealed gender and country differences in attitudes toward sexting and motives for sexting. Positive attitudes toward sexting were found to predict different forms of sexting motives in both samples. In the sample from Bosnia and Herzegovina, age was found to predict sexting with instrumental motives and body image reinforcement motives. Gender, on the other hand, was found to be predictive of instrumental sexting motives in the Croatian sample and body image reinforcement sexting motives in the Bosnia and Herzegovina sample. This study illustrates the value of cross-cultural approaches combined with mixed methods as a design to study sexting behavior.

Information between parents and their children with regards to contraception among these study participants was low.…”

Background: Many undergraduate students in Nigerian Universities are at increased risk of sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies with resultant illegal abortions. The aim of this study is to assess the undergraduate students’ knowledge of contraceptives. Understanding the knowledge of contraception among students is essential in tackling unwanted pregnancies among youths.Methods: The researchers use cross-sectional survey, a quantitative approach to the stated objective. About fifty five (55) female students aged 18 to 21 years were enrolled in the study using purposive sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire. The fifty five (55) completed questionnaires were retrieved and data analyzed using SPSS version 20.Results: The result showed that current overall contraception knowledge was low, while general contraceptive knowledge is high among the student. However, the knowledge of both short-term and long term acting contraceptive methods were very low as reported by the respondents.Conclusions: This study has implication for health education especially on the use of modern contraceptives. Thus, recommendations were highlighted to improve students’ knowledge of the various contraceptive methods.

“…Within nursing, shame is just beginning to be explored (Shaughnessy, in press). Much of the shame research that has been conducted in nursing is quantitative and focused on determining whether, and to what degree, shame is correlated with various health conditions (Kim & Im, 2015; Koç & Çinarli, 2015; Puharić, Borovac, & Petrov, 2015; Saint Arnault & O’Halloran, 2016; Wang et al, 2015). Qualitative studies have been conducted by nurse researchers who found shame to be a theme in the experience of a wide variety of health situations (Cleveland, Bonugli, & McGlothen, 2016; Gilmartin, 2013; Hawkins, 2017; Kantrowitz-Gordon, 2013; Lee, Li, Iamsirithaworn, & Khumtong, 2013; Navab, Negarandeh, Peyrovi, & Navab, 2013; Olsson & Berterö, 2015; Pollard, Fitzgerald, & Ford, 2015; Sparapani, Jacob, & Nascimento, 2015).…”

Shame is a universal living experience that is just beginning to be explored within the discipline of nursing. Development of a broad understanding of shame is needed to aid nurse researchers in clarifying this phenomenon from a nursing perspective. Pursuant to this goal, the author in this article reviews the extant literature on shame from the disciplines of nursing, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and theology. Three themes that emerged from the scholarly literature were (a) shame propels miring in paralysis, (b) shame captures the illusionary seen-unseen, and
