Abstract:

SummaryRecent changes in vital rates in Fiji suggest that the Melanesian (MF) component of the population is growing faster than the Indian (IF) component, thus reversing a long-standing demographic trend.Patterns of family building were studied in the respondent families of 302 MF and 324 IF children at school in the capital, Suva. Melanesian families were larger than IF families, even when corrected for differences in maternal age and social class. Particularly among IF families, there was a significant effect of social class on family size, higher status families having fewer children. Among all groups there was evidence of a secular trend to earlier childbearing and, less clearly, to an earlier cessation of childbearing. Among both races age-specific fertility levels were similar in younger age-groups, but older IF mothers showed significantly lower fertility.It is suggested that among IF families, who form a more urbanized and commercially/industrially oriented segment of the Fijian population, two factors may account for the reduction in fertility: (i) pressure to limit population growth in the interests of racial harmony; and (ii) economic pressure resulting in a demographic transition. The latter suggestion is supported by the fact that the greatest decrease in fertility occurs among high status families. Among MFs the reduction in fertility has been less, due probably to the absence of a ‘racial harmony’ incentive and also to a lesser economic stimulus.

Abstract:

The study aims to identify the extent of women’s awareness of the meaning of advanced age and the nature of the psycho-social aspects of health that they face in the advanced stages of life to come up with a suggested proposal for the contribution of social services to the development of women’s awareness of aspects of advanced life stages from a cognitive perspective. The samples of the study are women older than 40 who are either in their perimenopause or menopause phase. The size of the sample is (208) woman; (104) women from the health center Al-Olaya and (104) women from the health center in Al-Suleimaniah. The study results showed a decline in their awareness that this stage in their age constitutes the flow and movement phase (productivity and contribution) versus recession and showed a likely rate of (0.22 %) and came last in the results. Results of the study also showed low response rates regarding health and physical aspects such as the occurrence of hot flashes (12%), reduced fertility (9.95), and osteoporosis (7.5%). These rates underscore the lack of awareness of the respondents concerning these variables. On the other hand, the study showed a high awareness of the respondents with respect to psychological aspects such as the awareness of the feeling of neglect and lack of interest by others scored highest. Society’s perception of advanced age is one of the social realities which received (7.13 %) by respondents. The study recommends the need to activate the contribution of social services in the increase of women›s awareness of health, psychological and social manifestations of menopause and beyond

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to undertake a literature review on the theme of medical tourism. We will use Fiji as a case study. The paper uses a systemic review of secondary data with a comprehensive data extraction methodology to match the subject areas with the specific countries being investigated. This literature review used 61 articles. Most medical tourism cases are driven by a desire for more economical healthcare services than those in most medical tourists' home nations. In order to drive essential improvements, the quality of services encourages investment in technology and facilities in medical tourism-active countries. With increased medical tourism investment and patient numbers, Asian Pacific countries have gained substantial foreign revenue. There are also many questions and uncertainties, despite the many positive aspects of medical tourism, such as the lack of a database to store patient records anywhere in the world or on the ground, growing medical tourism difficulties for local health services, and social and political factors such as corruption, political wars, and government uncertainty, all of which can have a significant impact on a country's medical care. Fiji has begun efforts to develop its medical tourism sector, setting up Oceania Hospital, and investing in Ba and Lautoka hospitals, operated and equipped by the Health Care Fiji brand. However, Fiji requires extensive government support, skilled and qualified personnel, valuable partnerships in its local sector, and infrastructural upgrades to incorporate medical tourism fully.

Abstract:

Background: Menopause signifies the beginning of a non-reproductive phase from the reproductive period. Although it is considered a natural life transition, recent studies have indicated that a woman’s menopausal experience may impact her quality of life. While studies have examined Malaysian women’s knowledge and awareness of menopause, they have focused on the prevalence of menopausal symptoms and sociocultural aspects. These investigations also used a quantitative design that may have limited the information regarding the nature and experience of menopause. Objectives: This study explores women’s perceptions and understanding of their menopausal experience. Methods: A total of 20 menopausal women were recruited using purposive sampling through social media in the state of Pahang, Malaysia. In-depth semi-structured interviews were used to explore how they perceived their menopausal experience. The data were then analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Three themes that emerged from the findings included perceptions of menopause, biopsychosocial changes and help-seeking behavior. For many Muslim women, menopause was perceived as a time for them to engage in religious commitment more than they had before. Conclusion: The study findings uncovered a knowledge gap and a lack of support for women impacted by menopause. Muslim women regarded their menopause phase as a time for them to engage in religious duty fully. These results indicate the need for a psychosocial intervention and educational program to ensure women a better transition throughout their menopausal phase.

Abstract:

The effects of global warming are now being felt in various parts of the world. Few aspects of social and cultural life are likely to remain unaffected. The Pacific is widely regarded as one of the most vulnerable regions. Among the impacts of long-term environmental changes will be community migration and displacement. While most displacements are projected to be internal and temporary, for low lying atoll states in the Pacific permanent international relocation may be the only option. This article examines social and cultural rights of environmental migrants, and focuses on the Banaban resettlement in Fiji as a case study on minority rights protection of an environmentally-displaced population. While the Banaban displacement was not due to climate change but to long-term impacts of phosphate extraction on Banaba Island, the Banaban experience provides important lessons on the role of minority rights in the protection of culture and identity of environmentally-displaced communities. That the Banabans retained their collective identity and under existing Fijian law are allowed to maintain their indigenous system of self-government as well as use their native language are proofs of the resettlement’s success. However, Banaban minority protection is no longer as secure as it once seemed to be. Recent developments in Fiji threaten to veer away from minority rights protection and ethnic diversity. Ethnic or cultural minorities, including those displaced by environmental triggers, have distinct customs, traditions and histories requiring legal protection as well as physical and social space to thrive. The protection of cultural diversity promoting a balance of cultural identity retention and acculturation as a by-product of a healthy interaction with the host society constitute a component of successful long-term resettlement.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Menopausal symptoms can greatly affect a woman’s personal, social, and work life. Selenium functions as a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase and helps minimize oxidative damage through cellular metabolism in postmenopausal women when estradiol production decreases, antioxidant protection is lost and therefore oxidative stress is increased. AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluated effect of selenium supplementation on selenium levels based on menopausal complaints assessed by menopause-specific quality of life questionnaire (MENQOL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research is an analytical study with quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test one group only design. The research was conducted on all postmenopausal women in Medan who were aged >51-years-old and met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research subjects underwent blood tests to assess serum selenium levels. If data were normally distributed, dependent T test will be used, while if data were not normally distributed, Wilcoxon test will be used. The analysis results were stated to be significant with p < 0.05. RESULTS: Mean selenium serum levels before selenium administration were 93.20 ± 17.253 μg/L which increased to 132.12 ± 19.866 μg/L after selenium administration. Comparison test results of selenium levels before and after administration found p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means there was a significant difference of selenium serum levels before and after selenium administration. Besides that, there were no significant scores difference in aspects of vasomotor disorders (p = 1.000 [p > 0.05]), psychosocial disorders (p = 0.090 [p > 0.05]), physical disorders (p = 0.323 [p > 0.05]), and sexual disorders (p = 0.959 [p > 0.05]) between before and after selenium administration. CONCLUSION: Total MENQOL scores and complaints based on aspects of vasomotor, psychosocial, physical, and sexual disturbances did not show statistically significant changes after administration selenium tablets 100 mcg/day for 7 days.

Abstract:

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a very common disorder in women, involving severe consequences on the patients’ perception of quality of life and sexuality. The aim of this contribution is to analyze the psycho-relational aspects linked to UI, focusing on sexual activity, self-perception of sexual competence and self-esteem. Urinary incontinence causes feelings of shame and inadequacy as well as low self-esteem; it may affect sexual activity, reducing sexual intercourse frequency. Many authors highlight a strong comorbidity between urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunctions, such as dyspareunia, vaginismus, hypo-active sexual desire, arousal and orgasm disorders. Literature analysis shows that changes in sexual activity are influenced not only by urinary incontinence symptoms but also by the disorder self-perception, by previous sexuality, menopause, social status and the partner's attitude. The etiological study of urinary incontinence shows that several different factors play a role in this disorder. Therefore, an integrated therapeutic approach is suggested, considering, besides the organic issues, the experience and feelings of patients as well as the consequences on their sexual and social life.

In the process of human aging, the modifications are inherent to the phases of life and with respect to female aging, climacteric and consequently menopause, constitutes an event that accentuates their perception and / or self-perception. Coronary heart disease can be one of the consequences of the climacteric, compromising the quality of life of women who are at this stage. Epidemiology has shown that the heart attack kill both the women and the men and kill the women more in the climacteric period. Physical symptoms, emotional problems or social support problems may present themselves and negatively impact a daily life marked by the accumulation of roles (professionals, marriages, caregivers). The recognition of this complexity of events coupled with the fact that my professional activity as a social worker is focused on attending coronary climacteric women, answered for the interest in researching how issues inherent to female aging (focusing on the climacteric and its developments) impact the quality of life and also how social supports can contribute to the greater well-being of these women. The general objective that guided my research was therefore to study the relationship between social support and its impact on the quality of life of coronary climacteric women treated at the Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology (IDPC / SUS). Among the specific objectives, the following should be highlighted: demographic and socioeconomic profiles, identify their self-perception of quality of life; as well as their social support and analyze how these variables are articulated. For that, I carried out a literature review pertinent to this topic based on data collected in a field survey performed with 52 women attending the IDPC. The results of this discussion allowed me not only to ratify my initial hypothesis that a good social support positively impacts the women‘s quality of life in this stage, but also to point out a propositional way to potentiate social actions as a fundamental part of a project to improve health for them
No processo de envelhecimento humano, as modificações são inerentes às fases da vida e, no que diz respeito ao envelhecimento feminino, o climatério e, consequentemente, a menopausa, constitui um acontecimento que acentua sua percepção e/ou autopercepção. A doença coronariana pode se configurar como um dos desdobramentos do climatério, comprometendo a qualidade de vida de mulheres que se encontram nessa etapa. A Epidemiologia tem mostrado que o enfarto mata tanto a mulher quanto o homem e mata mais a mulher no período climatérico. Sintomas físicos, problemas emocionais ou relativos ao suporte social podem nele se apresentar e impactar negativamente um cotidiano já marcado por acúmulo de papéis (profissionais, matrimoniais, cuidadoras). O reconhecimento dessa complexidade de eventos, aliada ao fato de que minha atividade profissional como assistente social está voltada ao atendimento de mulheres climatéricas coronarianas, incentivou-me a pesquisar de que modo questões inerentes ao envelhecimento feminino (com foco no climatério e seus desdobramentos) impactam a qualidade de vida e, também, como os suportes sociais podem contribuir para um maior bem-estar dessas mulheres. O objetivo geral que orientou minha pesquisa foi estudar a relação entre suporte social e seu impacto na qualidade de vida de mulheres climatéricas coronarianas atendidas no Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia (IDPC/SUS). Entre os objetivos específicos, destacam-se: estudar o perfil demográfico e socioeconômico dessas mulheres; identificar sua autopercepção de qualidade de vida, bem como de seu suporte social e analisar de que modo tais variáveis se articulam. Para tal, realizei uma revisão da literatura pertinente a essa temática, tomada como base para discutir dados coletados em uma pesquisa de campo, realizada com 52 mulheres atendidas no IDPC. Os resultados dessa discussão permitiram-me não apenas ratificar minha hipótese inicial de que um bom suporte social impacta positivamente na qualidade de vida de mulheres nessa etapa, como também indiciar um caminho propositivo para potencializar ações sociais como parte fundamental de um projeto para melhorar a saúde

Naganivatu, Viti Levu, is a village of 53 households along the downstream Rewa River. The village economy is mainly based on women''s task, that is, they dive for freshwater mussels (kai) and sell out in the markets. Men plant taros, cassavas, and sweet potatoes mainly for subsistence rather than sale. In this research, I describe the process and ways of collecting and selling the kai. Through this activity, I analyze the economic aspects of social lives and interactions between women. Then, I present the importance and the meaning of cash in the contemporary Fijian village lives. Also, I examine how the special production, namely collecting the kai, and its economic contributions leave impacts on traditional gender relations. In addition, women’s contributions and their ways of manipulating the cash are recognized when they meet collective needs, exchanges, and social obligations of kinships. In sum, women’s economic activity leaves them space to challenge the traditional hierarchical order, but at the same time, women’s contribution and participation to the social gathering and rituals also reinforce the hierarchical society.

Abstract:

This chapter describes a learning environment that implements a learning design that promotes an adaptive approach towards e-learning. A theoretical model describes the interactive components of an e-learning environment. This model can be used as a designing tool for implementing an effective framework to support the social aspects of human-computer interaction. It discusses the institutional and national context of the e-learning programme offered by a school in Fiji that is accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organization. A zoom-lens approach is taken by the year-5 classroom teacher to encourage her students’ experiential learning. However, alternative instructional strategies are required when the Internet becomes unstable. This means extra activities are required that do not involve computers. Some of these tasks are self-reflection diary entries that produce added interest for the students as they prepare for their presentations at the school assemblies.
