Rohenti (505470030): Dampak Perubahan Ekonomi terhadap Sikap dan Perilaku Keluarga Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) dalam Kehidupan Bermasyarakat (Studi Kasus di Desa Serangwetan Kecamatan Babakan Kabupaten Cirebon) Jumlah angkatan kerja yang terus bertambah setiap tahunnya dan tidak diimbangi dengan lapangan kerja yang ada mengakibatkan semakin ketatnya persaingan kerja sehingga angka pengangguran pun cukup tinggi. Sulitnya mencari kerja di dalam negeri serta rendahnya penghasilan yang diterima membuat tidak terpenuhinya kebutuhan hidup yang semakin kompleks. Kebijakan yang dikeluarkan pemerintah dengan membuka kesempatan bekerja di luar negeri sebagai TKI diharapkan dapat mengurangi tingkat pengangguran yang cukup tinggi dan juga sebagai solusi alternatif bagi masyarakat untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan. Sekitar 320 orang warga desa Serangwetan Kecamatan Babakan Kabupaten Cirebon memutuskan bekerja sebagai TKI di luar negeri, dan sebagian besar dari jumlah tersebut adalah perempuan. Dengan bekerja sebagai TKI di luar negeri mereka berharap dapat merubah ekonomi menjadi lebih baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: 1) mengetahui bagaimana gambaran ekonomi keluarga TKI di desa Serangwetan Kecamatan Babakan Kabupaten Cirebon sebelum salah salah satu atau lebih anggota keluarganya menjadi TKI di luar negeri. 2) mengetahui bagaimana gambaran ekonomi keluarga TKI di desa Serangwetan Kecamatan Babakan Kabupaten Cirebon setelah salah satu atau lebih anggota keluarganya menjadi TKI di luar negeri. 3) untuk mengetahui dampak perubahan ekonomi terhadap sikap dan perilaku keluarga TKI di Desa Serangwetan Kecamatan Babakan Kabupaten Cirebon dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Setiap manusia pasti akan mengalami perubahan-perubahan, baik itu secara pisik maupun psikis. Dan perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi pada diri manusia akan berpengaruh terhadap perubahan pada masyarakat, karena manusia merupakan makhluk sosial. Perubahan sosial terjadi karena adanya perubahan dalam unsur-unsur yang mempertahankan keseimbangan masyarakat seperti perubahan dalam unsur geografis, biologis, ekonomis, atau kebudayaan. Perubahan ekonomi pada keluarga TKI terjadi dengan waktu yang relatif singkat, dan perubahan ini berdampak pada sikap dan perilaku mereka dalam kehidupan sehari-hari di masyarakat. Metode yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif. Untuk memperoleh informasi dan data yang diperlukan maka peneliti melakukan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumnetasi. Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisis dengan teknik deskriptif dan disajikan dalam uraian singkat. Pengolahan data dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dalam tiga tahap yaitu: reduksi data, penyajian data, dan verifikasi data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian masyarakat desa Serangwetan Kecamatan Babakan Kabupaten Cirebon yang salah satu atau lebih anggota keluarganya bekerja sebagai TKI terjadi perubahan ekonomi kearah yang lebih baik yang ditandai dengan peningkatan pendapatan keluarga meraka. Perubahan ekonomi ini ternyata berdampak pada perubahan sikap dan perilaku mereka dalam kehidupan sehari-hari di masyarakat, baik itu perubahan sikap dan perilaku yang positif atau pun perubahan sikap dan perilaku yang negati

Instruments to Identify Symptoms of Paternal Depression During Pregnancy and the First Postpartum Year: A Systematic Scoping Review

Men often experience depressive symptoms during the transition to parenthood, but there is a lack of synthesized knowledge of instruments used to identify such symptoms. The aim of this scoping review was to identify instruments used to measure symptoms of depressive symptoms among fathers in pregnancy and the postpartum period, and to describe the instruments’ characteristics and measurement properties. We identified studies published since 1990 through searches in databases such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO and in gray literature. Pairs of reviewers selected relevant studies based on predetermined inclusion criteria. For each included study, we collected information relevant to the review question, guided by the COnsensus based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement INstruments (COSMIN). We included 13 instruments, described in 59 studies with about 29,000 participants across 25 countries. There were 12 validation studies. None of the instruments were uniquely developed for assessing paternal depressive symptoms related to fatherhood. The three most extensively examined instruments were the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory. For seven of the 13 instruments, there was no information reported about the instruments’ properties beyond internal consistency, but for the other six instruments the 12 validation studies reported on both reliability and validity. No studies reported on measurement error or responsiveness. EPDS was both the most extensively assessed instrument and reported to be the most reliable and valid. Further research on instruments for identifying men with depression in pregnancy and the postpartum period is warranted

Foreldres erfaringer med utfylling av ASQ kartleggingsskjema i forbindelse med to års konsultasjonen på helsestasjonen - en kvalitativ studie

Parents' experiences of completing the ASQ tool at the two-year consultation at the Child Health Center – a qualitative study This study has investigated the user perspective of parent-based screening tools at Child Health Centers. Age & Stage Questionnaires (ASQ) are used at the two years consultation at Child Health Centers.

We used qualitative research methodology with in-depth interviews with parents. The findings show that parents felt positive to fill in the ASQ form. The study also shows a large variation in how parents experienced how the tool was used at the Child Health Centre. The parents' experiences are discussed against theory and other research in the field. The findings are also discussed in light of the purpose of implementing screening tools and results of previous studies in the field. The study concludes that there are many challenges related to the implementation of the tool in the service, and more research is needed in this area

Norwegian fathers’ experiences with a home visiting program

Objective - To explore fathers’ experiences with a Norwegian home visiting program during the prenatal period and the first-year postpartum. Design - Qualitative design with interpretive description (ID) as the methodological approach. Sample - Individual interviews with fathers (n = 13) who received home visits by a public health nurse (PHN) within the New Families home visiting program. Measures - Interviews were guided by a semi-structured interview-guide, which contained open-ended questions encouraging informants to reflect on their experiences with home visits. The analysis of the data was informed by content analysis. Results - Two main themes that reflect the fathers’ experiences emerged: (1) The importance of being on their home ground captures the fathers’ experience of receiving home visits and building a trusting relationship with the PHN. (2) Including fathers in the home visit represents their thoughts about the content and focus of the home visits. Conclusions - Fathers experienced the universal New Families home visiting program as an important contribution towards a more available and tailored service, with the home environment as a suitable arena for developing a trusting relationship with the PHN. However, the fathers often felt insufficiently included in the home visits, with only scant attention towards them as independent caregivers, their emotional reactions, roles, and family relationships. Pre-birth home visits might contribute to strengthening preparations for fatherhood and increase fathers’ engagement in the Child Health Service

First-time parents' experiences related to parental self-efficacy: A scoping review

Becoming a parent for the first time is a major transition, and parental self‐efficacy (PSE) is considered an important predictor of parenting functioning. We aimed to describe and synthesize qualitative studies that explore first‐time parents' experiences related to PSE in the transition to parenthood in the first‐year postpartum. We conducted a scoping review in accordance with international guidelines. The main search strategy consisted of searches in six electronic databases. We selected studies based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and conducted a descriptive qualitative thematic analysis. We included 58 studies (presented in 61 reports) with 1341 participants from 17 countries. Most of the participants (89%) were mothers, and a third of the studies were task‐specific regarding breastfeeding. The thematic analysis of the findings concerning PSE revealed five main, interconnected themes: culture—factors in society and the healthcare services; parents—processes within the parents; tasks—different parental tasks; support —parents' perceived support from professionals, peers, friends, family, and partner; and child—the child's well‐being and feedback. This scoping review describes qualitative studies on first‐time parents' experiences related to PSE. The findings inform future studies of PSE and clinical practice by confirming the importance of PSE in the transition to parenthood, the complexity of different factors that may have an impact, and the centrality of breastfeeding in PSE. Based on these findings, we suggest that a full systematic review with quality assessment would be appropriate
