The theme of this issue of CSW is Developing and addressing socio-pathological phenomena in children, adolescents and young adults in marginalized environments. Thisis a profoundly important concept affecting not just the indicated marginalized but all young people. In this age of digital & internet communications it means that younger & lonelier young people using texting on their telephones as their main contact with the world being damaged. Because texting means monumentally less person-to-person contact, society is losing respect and kindness to and from others leading to disrespect and anti-social pathological behaviors

Introduction: The development of incontinence depends on many factors and more often affects women who have already given birth. It is related to the growth of the fetus and the pressure of the head and fetus on the bladder and pelvic floor muscles. Hormonal influences also play an important role, as they relax the muscles and also affect the pelvic ligament. Due to this fact, in the research, we investigated urinary incontinence in a selected research sample and determined the degree of connection between incontinence of the respondents and factors such as pregnancy, number of births and the method of delivery. Methods: Using Microsoft Excel, we performed a mathematical-statistical evaluation of the data, which we expressed as a percentage in the attached graphic and tabular processing. We verified the hypotheses with the correlation coefficient, the Spearman coefficient and the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. We made the decision about the existence of statistical significance based on the calculated p value and the significance level of 0.05. Results: By processing the results, we pointed out the degree of connection of urinary incontinence with several factors, namely pregnancy, the method of delivery and the number of births. For stress and overflow incontinence, the differences between the groups are very small. In urge incontinence, the differences are more pronounced between means and the mean ranks. However, even here, significant difference between the groups was not confirmed. Also, the connection between the number of births and urinary incontinence was not confirmed. However, we found a connection between the method of delivery and overflow and urge incontinence. Conclusion: Urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after childbirth is a significant burden for a woman. It covers the issues of the women it concerns in all spheres of life. Urinary incontinence is a certain burden for the whole society, not only for the affected woman. Therefore, one cannot forget exact drug therapy and other conservative treatment procedures, including the often underappreciated special therapeutic gymnastics – pelvic floor strengthening.

Objective: To find the career preferences of the selected group of students - nurses of the Master’s study program Nursing. Respondents and methodology: The data were collected in the months of September-October 2022. The selection of respondents was intentional, the conditions for inclusion in the study were consent to anonymous filling in of the questionnaire, performance of the profession of a nurse, current study in the Master’s degree Nursing program. A total number of 155 respondents took part in the survey. The collected data were processed with the aid of non-parametric statistical tests. Results: The average age of the nurses in our group was 27.7 years, and the average number of years of experience was 4.8 years. Almost 43.2% of nurses want to stay working in clinical practice; 38.7% of nurses are interested in a managerial position; 18% want to work as a teacher. Nurses are not interested in research in nursing. Within the career trends in nursing, the most preferred post was the school nurse. There was no statistically significant difference in the age of the respondents according to their field of career (p=0.41) or according to their preference of application (p=0.36). The perception of managerial and pedagogical skills of the respondents did not correlate with age or length of experience. Conclusion: Nursing students' career preferences change as they progress through their training: nursing career planning and management; career growth increase job satisfaction; provision of quality and safe nursing care. The students of the study program Nursing show great ambivalence in their ideas about their future career. This opens wide possibilities for educators, managers, mentors, and nurses in practice to significantly positively influence and formation the career preferences of students.

Objective: The purpose of the research was to determine the motivation and orientation of midwifery students towards professional expertise and associated factors. Design: A cross-sectional study. Participants: A total of 241 undergraduate midwifery students in a convenience sample participated in this study at a Faculty of Health Care Studies. Methods: Data were collected through a questionnaire, which was composed of 3 parts: motivation factors, a Midwifery Orientation Tool, and background questions. Results: The most powerful motive for the study of midwifery was “to be useful to others, take care of others”. The motivation factor of completed professional practice decreased statistically significantly after the second year of study (p<0.001). Orientation towards midwifery did not significantly differ statistically over individual years. Students dissatisfied with their studies were significantly less motivated to study midwifery (p<0.001) and had significantly higher average scores on the caring orientation scale (p<0.001) and the midwifery expertise scale (p<0.001) when compared to satisfied and moderately satisfied students. Conclusion: We recommend that educators in midwifery discuss issues relating to the curriculum. Teachers and mentors should pay attention to the individual problems of students during the academic year, both in the classroom and during clinical placements.

Introduction. The biggest Roma communities reside in the eastern part of Slovakia in the regions of Presov and Kosice, whose share is 35-40%. While the atlas of Roma communities from 2019 indicates that about 440,000 Roma live in Slovakia, only 156,000 Roma registered in 2021. Moreover, more than half of them stated Roma nationality only as a second nationality. Due to the fear of discrimination, racism and hate speech 10-15% of Roma did not state their identity because they consider it more advantageous in their efforts to integrate into society. It is also assumed that a significant part of the Roma (12- 15%) living in the south of Slovakia have adopted the Hungarian nationality. Objectives. The main goal was to map and analyse the development of civilizational and infectious diseases in the Roma population, taking into account the social, economic and cultural status of the Roma in Slovakia. Methods: The data were analysed on the basis of available statistics and forecasts of the development of diseases in the allSlovak databases maintained by the NCZI SR and the Statistical Office of Slovak Republic. We compared the development of tuberculosis, hepatitis, diabetes, and the overuse of psychotropic substances, which often occur in marginalized Roma communities. Results: The results showed that although some diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis are decreasing along with the general average of registered diseases in the population, their highest occurrence in terms of the number of registered cases still occurs in Roma communities. Among Roma, the proportion of people addicted to psychotropic substances is increasing, the risk of infectious and civilizational diseases such as e.g. diabetes, asthma, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Conclusion. With the decreasing quality of life of the Roma, the number of infectious and civilizational diseases also increases, therefore we recommend that comprehensive prevention, education in the field of vaccination and support for early diagnosis of diseases be implemented.

Objective: Care of handicapped or elderly by the family members in the home environment brings not only many positives for the care recipients, but can also impose a significant burden on the caregiver. The goal of the study was to assess the caregiver burden, burnout syndrome and the effect of caregivers’ sociodemographic characteristics. Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants: The sample consisted of 168 caregivers who took care of disabled children or seniors. Methods: Zarit Burden Interview identifying the subjective burden of informal caregivers, and Maslach Burnout Inventory assessing the burnout syndrome were used. Results: A higher level of caregiver burden and the development of burnout syndrome occurring most frequently in the dimensions of Emotional Exhaustion and Personal Accomplishment was observed. The caregiver burden was found to be lower in men, in caregivers living alone, and in the respondents from higher income households; it increased with the weekly amount of care. Conclusions: The results proof the demanding nature of informal care. A longitudinal study could illuminate the temporal changes in the family dynamics.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between relational interdependent self-construal and psychological resilience of university students who continued their education during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Design and Methods: The study was designed with a quantitative design and a correlational survey model was used. The study data were collected by using an online questionnaire, a personal information form that contained demographic information, the Relational Interdependent Self-Construal Scale (RISCS), and the Adult Psychological Resilience Scale (APRS). Participants: The sampling consisted of 363 university students who were selected with the convenience sampling method. Results: As a result, Spearman’s correlation coefficient was found to be positive (0.361) at a significance level of 0.01 between RISCS and APRS scores. In this respect, it can be argued that as the relational interdependent self-construal levels of students increases, their psychological resilience also increases. Conclusion: The study results can guide practitioners in terms of intervention focuses by contributing to uncovering the importance of relationality and social support resources.

For last 2 decades Swat has witnessed changes in almost every aspect of culture, space, and ecology. Among these changes, the environmental crisis remains a major issue addressed by different media outlets and academic and nonacademic organizations. Along with popular narratives and discourses the poets also have their take on the environmental crisis of Swat though mostly ignored in research of cultural and environmental studies. This paper aims to investigate themes of Pashto poetry in context with the environmental crisis. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate how Pashto poetry is situating the environmental crisis of Swat and how poetry works for the preservation of the environment. Findings are based on published sources of poetry, interviews, and informal discussions by using the vignette method for collection of data. The framework of social poetics is used to theorize the environmental crisis and how poets take on the crises. The findings suggest that the poetic expressions point out development and militancy as instruments of environmental crisis in Swat. The paper further argues that different objects and elements in flora and fauna are romanticized and instrumentalized as symbols of beauty and love in Pashto poetry which works in the preservation of the ecological system of Swat. Moreover, poetry also produces themes of peace, condemnation of violence and unplanned development, resilience and hope to heal the wounded ecology of Swat.

The findings suggest that the poetic expressions point out development and militancy as instruments of environmental crisis in Swat. The paper further argues that different objects and elements in flora and fauna are romanticized and instrumentalized as symbols of beauty and love in Pashto poetry which works in the preservation of the ecological system of Swat. Moreover, poetry also produces themes of peace, condemnation of violence and unplanned development, resilience and hope to heal the wounded ecology of Swat.","PeriodicalId":42256,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Social Work and Health Intervention","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84467218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
