Sexting as a risky behavior of adolescents is determined by the family environment, by the family structure and by the quality of mutual relations in the family. The aim of the study was to explore the relation between the frequency of self and peer sexting and parental monitoring from the perspective of adolescents. The research involved 790 respondents-(adolescents aged 12-18 years) who were administered the modified questionnaire "Cyberbullying and sexting" (modified by K. Holla). The results suggest that adolescents who do not talk to their parents about online risky behaviour are more likely to report that they engage in peersexting. There is a relationship between parental monitoring of adolescents' online activity and sending and receiving erotic and sexual material from their friends.

Effective communication skills represent a crucial aspect of competence of professionals working in institutionalized care. Quality of communication between professionals and clients has an impact on how the care is delivered, how clients perceive the care and how professionals experience their role. The aim of the present review is to provide an overview of current research on the education interventions aimed at improving communication skills of professionals working with clients in institutionalized care, e.g. nursing homes. Main keywords and phrases (communication, language, education, training, intervention, role play, professionals, institutionalized care) were used to search for relevant papers in the available databases. Studies fulfilling the inclusion criteria were analyzed from the perspective of study design, target sample (social workers, health care professionals, andragogists), applied methods of education, and quality of measures employed to assess the effect. Interventions for effective communication skills development were identified. The study summarizes the main theoretical perspectives, empirically supported intervention approaches and future directions.
