“…Although increasing providers' competence in understanding, identifying, and addressing sexual dysfunction is certainly important, providers' reluctance to initiate these discussions with Veterans creates an additional barrier [41]. Personal characteristics (e.g., sexual orientation, race, religion, age, moral values, and sexual experience) may contribute to this reticence by increasing providers' subjective discomfort with discussing this topic [44,48]. For example, certain cultures and religions outline specific, conservative guidelines about sexuality and sexual behavior; providers from these backgrounds may regard sex as private—an inappropriate topic of discussion [44,48].…”

Introduction Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experience high rates of sexual dysfunction. However, the topic of sexual dysfunction is often overlooked clinically and underexamined in the PTSD research literature. Clinician assessment and treatment of sexual dysfunction are particularly important for Veterans, who are at increased risk of exposure to trauma. Aim Review the literature regarding sexual dysfunction among Veterans with PTSD. Method Review of the literature. Results Sexual dysfunction, including erectile difficulties in males and vaginal pain in females, is common among Veterans with PTSD. Several underlying mechanisms may account for the overlap between PTSD and sexual dysfunction. Certain barriers may contribute to the reluctance of providers in addressing problems of sexual dysfunction in Veterans with PTSD. Conclusions With the high likelihood of sexual dysfunction among Veterans with PTSD, it is important to consider the integration of treatment strategies. Efforts to further the research on this important topic are needed.

“…Additionally, IMGs from non-Western countries may have trouble acquiring the attitudes and skills required for competent patient care associated with sexual health due to cultural and religious preconceptions that render sexuality a persistent taboo [28,37]. Another factor related to defective communication in clinical scenarios is that in certain IMGs' cultures, most of the curriculum, if not all, is dedicated to learning hard science without focusing on behavioral disciplines [20].…”

The current study explored the effects of international students' influencing factors on their perceived employability: A case study of China. The explanatory research design was adopted to involve 514 international African students in the study. The research was conducted with a random sampling technique. Fifty (50)-test items standardized questionnaire was adopted as research instrument for the study. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the study found that there is a strong positive relationship between students' personal professional ability, university curriculum and social support, interpersonal and communication ability, social support and perceived employability. Four hypotheses were tested to determine whether they could predict international African students' perceived employability. Out of the four models, it was revealed that personal professional ability, university curriculum and social support, interpersonal and communication ability, social support significantly predicted international students' employability. The study found that the aforesaid variables have a significant positive effect on students' perceived employability and that an increase in any of the influencing factors would significantly and positively increase international African students' chances of employability after graduating from their respective universities in China. The study concluded that international African students could secure themselves employment after school within China or outside China if they take serious consideration of developing their personal professional abilities, interpersonal communication skills, social support from family and loved ones and become committed to the courses they are offered and taught in their respective university with uttermost precision and importance.
