“…Being accepted by peers is one of the adolescents’ primary goals, especially at high school ages, which is sometimes more important for adolescents even than their academic goals [ 7 ][ 13 ]. In the study in Iran the need for belonging attracted adolescents to peer groups [ 14 ]. Although the primary focus of peer groups in different studies is on the risks of these relationships, socialization by peers is not necessarily harmful.…”

BACKGROUND:Communicating with adolescents is associated with many challenges for parents and healthcare providers.AIM:This qualitative study was conducted for exploring the sense of belonging in Iranian adolescent girls.METHODS:In this study, deep semi-structured interviews were carried out with 27 adolescent girls, 10 experts, and 10 parents. Purposeful sampling was used and continued until data saturation. The data were coded and categorised through a conventional content analysis method by MAXQDA 10.RESULTS:Three main categories were obtained from the analysis of the participants’ descriptions: “family; a haven of tranquillity”, “dominated by peers”, and “concerns about differences in gender socialization”. According to our results, most of the girls achieved calmness through being emotionally accepted by their families. But this sense of belonging and tranquillity was shaken by their peers’ showing off, in a way that adolescent girls were always struggling to gain acceptance among their peers. Also for fear of being rejected by their peers’ group, they sometimes began to make friends with the opposite sex. Meanwhile, traditional attitudes towards gender roles and adolescent girls’ feelings about their lower social participation as compared to that of boys had also led to their concern about differences in gender socialization and a lower sense of community belonging among some adolescent girls.CONCLUSION:Adequate parental education and the proper management of girls’ interactions with the family and society can play an important role in the development of a sense of belonging among adolescent girls.

“…Depression reduces sexual desire, sexual arousal, frequency of sexual intercourse and achievement of orgasm, self-confidence, self-esteem, sexual performance, and sexual dysfunctions. 5,37,38 Many studies of sexual activity among patients suffering from depression have shown that depression and antidepression drugs have numerous side-effects on the sexual activity of these patients and can endanger their sexual health. One reason for lack of counseling effect on sexual depression may be the brevity of the intervention.…”

Introduction: Misunderstanding of different aspects of sex makes individuals vulnerable to sexual dysfunction, sexually transmitted diseases, mental disorders, and illegal relationships. This study aimed to determine the effect of cognitive behavioral counseling on the sexual self-concept of female students at Kerman University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This study is an intervention conducted with female students living in dormitories at Kerman and Rafsanjan Universities of Medical Sciences. The sample size was estimated at 63 students from different fields of study; 31 students from Kerman University of Medical Sciences comprised the experimental group and 32 students from Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences comprised the control group. Cognitive behavioral group counseling sessions were held every 3 days. The instrument used for collecting pre-test and post-test data was Snell's Multidimensional Sexual Self-concept Questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using measures of central tendency, t tests and chi-square tests. Results: The two groups were homogenous in terms of demographic factors. Analysis of the results of the intervention revealed significant differences in sexual self-consciousness and motivation to avoid high risk sexual relationships, but there was no significant difference in terms of sexual depression. Discussion: Cognitive behavioral group counseling can improve sexual self-concept. Therefore, this type of counseling is recommended from younger ages or at enrollment at university, to help correct development of this important part of identity.
