“…Similarly, the concept of having variants of family therapies in different contexts were also proved effective in many researches (Crane & Christenson, 2014;Hartnett, et al, 2016;Jiménez, et al, 2019;Sexton & Turner, 2010;van der Pol, et al, 2017). Contextually, the Filipino family is known to be closely-knit (Guzman & Teh, 2016;Tarroja, 2010) and coming from a collectivistic culture, would find it always more comforting to receive help, professional or otherwise, when support and presence of family members are experienced.…”

Objective: The overall intent of this conjoint analysis study is to explicate family intervention preferences of the respondents (aged 18-75) to assist Filipino Older adults in coping with death anxiety and interment stress. Background: Distressing life circumstances such as death and interment are better coped with family interventions. There have been numerous studies on how family interventions assist in the treatment of physiological and mental illnesses, but there is a continuing research imperative to empirically establish specific family interventions which are holistic and appropriate in cultural and social contexts. Method: Conjoint analysis was utilized to identify the preferred family intervention measures. A total of 214 adults from the most populous group of islands in the Philippines qualified in the inclusion criteria and after the ethical clearance was obtained, the recruitment started via snowball sampling, following the inclusion criteria set in this research. The demographic details were utilized for the descriptive and inferential statistics of this study, and the orthogonal plan cards were generated via SPSS software to create the orthogonal profiles. Results: The outcomes of the statistics demonstrated that the conjoint model performed for this study was considerably fit: Pearson’s R is .670, p<.01, Kendall’s Tau is .487, p<.05. Results showed that the cognitive state (23.272%) is the most important and the spiritual state (17.256%) as the least important attribute of family interventions. Part-worth of family interventions showed favoring the following: Medical routines and procedures (.342) for the physical state; mental health awareness (.266) for mental state; livelihood trainings (.051) for social state; family therapy (.022) for psychological state; and church activities (.017) for the spiritual state. The correlation analysis showed that the spiritual state is significantly correlated with age (r = 0.151, p < 0.05) and number of children (r = 0.143, p < 0.05). Conclusion: This conjoint analysis study provided empirical evidence for identifying preferences of family intervention measures in a holistic perspective by combining physical, mental, social, psychological and spiritual attributes. The findings rendered a multi-modal structure to cope with death anxiety and interment stress that will have a significant bearing in the overall care of the older adult in the family and improve family dynamics. Implications: The findings will subscribe to the knowledge base useful in family theories and relations, developmental psychology, ageing studies, gerontological psychology and educational gerontology. Moreover, the significant findings will greatly contribute in implementing effective psychosocial and psychoeducational strategies towards the mental health care of the older adult population.

Family therapy has been introduced into China for more than 30 years. This paper summarizes, reviews, reflects, and looks forward to the current research literature on family therapy in China from the aspects of methods, theories, and cultural adaptability. The conclusion is that family therapy that originated in the west has proved to be effective in China. Compared with the west, it is not sufficient in the research of family therapy in China. Further research can be done in the direction of cultural adaptability in two aspects in the future: first, clinicians need to strengthen their understanding of Chinese families; second, Chinese family therapy clinicians need to strengthen their case studies.

Objective To analyze the cross-sectional associations of family structure with mental health and attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorders (AD(H)D) in 11- to 17-year-old adolescents with early-onset type 1 diabetes participating in one of three baseline surveys as part of an ongoing cohort study. Methods Parents (n=1,631) completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire to screen for their child’s mental health and answered questions about their child’s diagnosis of AD(H)D. Associations between mental health or AD(H)D and family structure were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analyses adjusted for various personal and diabetes-related variables. Results Compared to adolescents living with both parents, adolescents living with one parent and his/her partner had 2.35 (95% confidence interval 1.32; 4.21) higher odds of abnormal screening result and 2.08 (1.09; 3.95) higher odds of a borderline screening result while adolescents living with a single parent had 1.84 (1.07; 3.17)/1.08 (0.53; 2.21) higher odds of abnormal/borderline screening results. The odds ratios for diagnosed attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder were 2.17 (0.98; 4.84) for adolescents living with one parent and his/her partner and 1.27 (0.54; 3.01) for those living with a single parent vs. both parents. Conclusions Our results indicate higher odds of mental health problems and AD(H)D in adolescents with type 1 diabetes who do not live with both parents; this finding was most pronounced in individuals living with one parent and his/her partner vs. both parents. Longitudinal studies are needed to verify our results and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
