“…These experiences might contribute to identity formation during an important time for students as they transition into professional roles. 22 The outcomes of our work are consistent with the literature describing the success of rural clinical programs being underpinned by the support, dedication and mentorship from rural clinical supervisors. 12,23,24 The importance of the supervising clinicians and the Community Health Service staff in the process of a successful rural dental clinical placement is evident in this and many other studies.…”

Objectives: Melbourne Dental School's (MDS) rural dental clinical placement program operates in two Victorian rural areas and offers final year dental students an integrated program of practical clinical experience and rural lifestyle exposure. The objective of this study was to understand the student's experiences to determine whether they increased the likelihood of them seeking rural employment after graduation. Design: The University of Melbourne final year dental students attended 5-week mandatory rural clinical placements in 2018 and 2019. At the completion of their placement, students were invited to complete an anonymous questionnaire about their experiences, which had both quantitative and qualitative questions.This study examined the qualitative data using thematic analysis to identify common themes.

“…It was found that the online interactions that participants had with others in SNS communities were integral to the maintenance of discussions about natural hair, and were arguably critical to their natural hair identity narratives. The association between identity development and peers is supported in the literature (Klimstra & van Doeselaar, 2017).…”

“…The interactions with others online can provide emerging adults with approval, feedback (Jules et al, 2019), and support (Ellington, 2015). Thus, being a part of social groups with common interests can reduce feelings of alienation (Chickering & Reisser, 1993) and by extension shape identity development (Klimstra & van Doeselaar, 2017).…”

In spite of the recent popularity of “going natural” among Black Caribbean women of African descent, the wearing of natural hair by these women continues to be a contentious issue in the English-speaking Caribbean. As such, social networking sites (SNS) may provide supportive environments within which some Black Caribbean female emerging adults can explore their hair identity narratives as they embark on their “natural hair journey.” By employing a qualitative case study research design, we found that among the 12 participants of the study, SNS provide an informative and supportive environment for exploration of Black-hair identity for these women. Findings revealed a number of themes that emerged from the narratives of the participants. Most important, that hair provided a means for hair identity self-expression and individual self-classification for Black Caribbean women. SNS also facilitated an online sisterhood, opportunities for personal exploration, and exposure to online models who embraced their natural hair. Study implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research are discussed.

“…Our results support the notion that addressing implicative dilemmas in addition to negative cognitive self-concepts is important and greatly relevant culturally for the recovery of depression in young adults in Singapore [ 59 ]. Given that the average onset of depression lies in the period of young adulthood [ 60 ], which is also a crucial period of psychosocial development that includes identity formation, self-development, and achievement goal orientations [ 61 – 65 ], the temporal overlap with such crucial developmental period further exacerbates the need to understand the role of culture and family in goal reconstruction in young adulthood. Discussing cultural expectations of success with the family in therapy would thus be beneficial for young adults with depression locally.…”

A reduced state of being: The role of culture in illness perceptions of young adults diagnosed with depressive disorders in Singapore

et al. 2021

Illness perceptions form a key part of common-sense models which are used widely to explain variations in patient behaviours in healthcare. Despite the pervasiveness of depressive disorders worldwide and in young adults, illness perceptions of depressive disorders have not yet been well understood. Moreover, while a high proportion of cases of depressive disorders reside in South-east Asia, few have explored illness perceptions that are culturally relevant to this region. To address these limitations, this study aimed to understand illness perceptions of young adults diagnosed with depressive disorders. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted among Chinese, Malay, and Indian young adults aged 20 to 35 years old, who were seeking treatment at a psychiatric hospital. Data reached saturation after 33 interviews (10 to 12 interviews per ethnic group) and five themes emerged from the thematic analysis: 1) A reduced state of being experienced at a point of goal disengagement, 2) the accumulation of chronic stressors in a system that demands success and discourages the pursuit of personally meaningful goals, 3) a wide range of symptoms that are uncontrollable and disabling, 4) poor decision making resulting in wasted opportunities, with some positive takeaways, and 5) accepting the chronicity of depression. Young adults typically experienced depression as a reduced state of being and it was thought of cognitively as an entity that may be a part of or separate from the self. Over and beyond these aspects of cognitive representations was the emergence of themes depicting conflicts and dilemmas between the self and the social environment that threatened self-identity and autonomy. Addressing these conflicts in therapy would therefore be of utmost relevance for young adults recovering from depressive disorders in the local setting.
