ABSTRACT This study adopted the multidimensional poverty approach as an alternative method of poverty measurement through case study analysis in Song Sarawak, East Malaysia. Using three dimensions of education, health, and living standards, this study found that the Iban community in song is critically deprived in asset indicator and education dimension. However, the community is less deprived in term of health dimension. Therefore, this study proves that additional indicators are necessary to complement the monetary indicator for the poverty measurement. This is important to enhance existing alleviation poverty programmes and provide the necessary assistance for the needy.

ABSTRACT This study examines whether or not a child experiencing domestic violence affects their experience of academic stress in the South Korean cultural context. We used a nationally representative sample from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) to examine the association of domestic violence with academic stress. The results revealed a significant positive association between domestic violence experience and academic stress. As such, this study discuses mitigating strategies against domestic violence in the South Korean cultural context. Moreover, the findings of this study suggests that effective intervention must be developed to prevent academic stress.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine the protective factors which moderate the relationship between acculturative stress and career barriers among adolescents from multicultural families. Hierarchical regression analysis was performed with 1,207 adolescents from the 6th wave of Multicultural Adolescent Panel Study. The results indicated that acculturative stress was associated with career barriers. In addition, peer relations had a negative relationship with career barriers. Self-esteem was associated with low career barriers. Moreover, the moderating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between acculturative stress and career barriers was statistically significant. The results of this study provide implications for reducing and intervening career barriers among multicultural adolescents.

ABSTRACT Public attitudes towards unmarried single mothers are generally negative in Taiwan, and these mothers often deal with stigmatisation and poverty. This study explores the social impacts facing unmarried single mothers and the coping strategies they take to deal with their experiences of stigma in the Taiwanese context. In-depth interviews with 30 adult unmarried single mothers and thematic analysis are adopted to collect and categorise these experiences. The study findings reveal that the challenges facing such mothers led to many becoming socially stigmatised. This study elicits the sources of this social pressure and details how the participants managed their individual situations. The findings imply that the policies and social services provided should not only aim to reduce the impact of stigma generated daily, but also to create more social and economic opportunities for this group of mothers.

Given the change in social work education due to COVID-19, the use of simulation within social work field education provides a strategy to assist with skill development and training. The purpose of this study was to explore how simulation was utilised during COVID-19. A mixed-methods online survey was sent to social work academics and field educators within Australia (n = 33). Barriers to using simulation included costs, lack of expertise, technology, concerns regarding the limiting of student’s real-world practice opportunities and accreditation issues. The inclusion of simulation in field education has promise in skill development and allows student exposure to complex scenarios. ARTICLE HISTORY Received 17 December 2020 Accepted 16 June 2021

ABSTRACT The study aims to examine the effects of the COVID-19 on the psychosocial life and the sources of social support of people with rare diseases in Turkey. The research was conducted with 178 rare disease patients. The sociodemographic questionnaire, The Fear of COVID-19 scale, General Health Survey-12, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used. The Fear of COVID-19 Scale average score is 20.20 ± 6.11, General Health Survey-12 average score is 5.82 ± 1.77, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support average score is 52.84 ± 14.23. There is a positive correlation between ages and scores on The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (r = .221, p˂.001). There is a negative correlation between the participant’s scores on the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale and the General Health Survey-12 (r = -,265, p˂.001). It is suggested to develop social service delivery systems to support people with rare diseases.]

ABSTRACT People with a gambling problem, especially those participating in Gamblers Anonymous (GA), are likely to suffer under social distancing policies necessitated to curb the spread of COVID-19. Accordingly, this study identified difficulties in recovery conditions and strategies related to GA under the social distancing policy in Korea using a case study approach. Following the case study process, categorical aggregation and direct interpretation were implemented to analyse nine cases, and an integrated main theme, the spontaneous efforts of GA participants to recover under the social distancing policy, was discovered with seven sub-themes. Based on the findings, difficulties, subjectivity, and new recovery strategies of GA participants were identified, and political and practical implications for recovery were drawn.

ABSTRACT This study examines the depressive symptom trajectories in middle-school adolescents from multicultural families in South Korea and explores their predictors from the ecological systems perspective. Using the latent growth model, we analysed a sample from the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Survey (2014–2016). Our findings revealed that depressive symptoms increased persistently with age. Girls presented a systematically higher risk of depressive symptoms than boys. Family support, two-parent families, parental monitoring, learning, friendships, positive perceptions about the residential area, and good health reduced depressive symptoms. Parental neglect, bullying, parental involvement in children’s grade, and acculturative stress increased depressive symptoms.

ABSTRACT This study investigates preference for ageing-in-place (AIP) among local older adults in a Chinese county with a large concentration of internal migrants. The current study was a secondary analysis of data from 755 community-dwelling elderly linked with county-level neighbourhood administrative data. We found that older adults living in neighbourhoods with a high concentration of migrants were 46% less likely to prefer AIP than those living in neighbourhoods with a low concentration of migrants. Such associations remained significant only among those less educated. Community-based programmes to encourage social contact among migrants and local older adults should be promoted.
