“…Another recent study found that positive parent–adolescent communication was positively associated with the level of youths’ subjective well-being and negatively associated with rejection sensitivity [ 31 , 32 ]. Specifically, adolescents with parental support and strong family relationships tend to initiate conversations with their parents, instead of showing high rejection sensitivity after being cyberbullied, thereby lessening the impact of negative events [ 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”

Previous research indicates that cybervictimization can lead to adolescent Internet addiction; however, there is a gap in the knowledge about the mediating and moderating variables facilitating this relationship. This study examines the role of rejection sensitivity as a mediator in this relationship and the role of parent–adolescent communication as a moderator for this mediation effect among Chinese adolescents. Participants were 1006 adolescents (M = 13.16 years, SD = 0.67), who completed the questionnaires anonymously. The questionnaires assessed the four variables of interest. Descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling were used for data analysis. The results show that the positive association between cybervictimization and adolescent Internet addiction is mediated by rejection sensitivity. Moreover, this indirect effect is stronger for adolescents with low parent–adolescent communication than for those with high parent–adolescent communication.

“…To reduce these barriers, there needs to be a concerted effort to ensure that parents and guardians have the right information and training to know how and when to talk to their children about sex and contraception. Evidence-based educational efforts are necessary to ensure parents and guardians have the tools to fulfill this important function [ 21 , 22 ]. At a clinical and policy level, it is essential to ensure that women have access to affordable or no-cost contraception at any age.…”

Background Contraceptive methods have rapidly evolved over the past several decades, but little research has explored how women interact with contraception over time. Exploring contraceptive beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes of women in midlife can reveal much about how lived experience affects contraceptive decisions and reproductive health choices. Methods Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 women between the ages of 40 and 55 who had not reached menopause and did not have a permanent method of sterilization. Data were coded using qualitative descriptive methods. Results Three major themes were identified: 1) journey toward empowerment; 2) finding the right fit: evolution over time; and 3) anticipating a transition. Past experiences with or fear of side effects and hormones were common reasons to change or avoid certain contraceptive methods. Most participants were happy with their contraceptive method; however, those who were unhappy were more likely to vocalize fatigue at continuing to need contraception as menopause approached. Conclusion Approaching contraceptive counseling from a place that considers the journey with contraception over a reproductive life span will help identify how beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes of women affect their contraceptive practices and choices.

“…Adolescents who did have knowledge about reproductive health matters were 2.91 times likely to communicate SRH issues with their parents compared with those who did not have knowledge about reproductive health issues (OR = 2.91, 95% CI:1.21, 7.01). Knowledge on reproductive health matters was also reported to be statistically significant with parent-adolescent communications on SRH issues in an intervention study by Ford et al The study indicated that adolescents in the sexual health intervention group reported a higher mean frequency score for parent-adolescent communication about sex compared with control counterparts [ 33 ]. Similarly, believe on the importance of discussion on SRH issues was found to be the predictor of parent-adolescent communication on SRH issues in in this systematic review and meta-analysis.…”

Background Every year, 1.3 million young people reported to die from preventable causes of death. Parent-adolescent communication on sexuality is critical in informing youth about risk and protective behaviors which in turn decrease the likelihood of involvement in risky sexual behaviors. This systematic review and meta-analysis was intended to assess the prevalence of parent-adolescent communication on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues and its associated factors in Ethiopia. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, HINARI, Google Scholar, and University repositories were used to search studies. Article search was conducted from May 20 to June 9, 2020. Critical appraisal of studies was conducted using Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS). Data analysis was conducted using Stata 11 software following the abstraction of data using a format prepared on Microsoft excel. The heterogeneity of studies was tested using Cochran (Q test) and I2 test statistics. Similarly, funnel plot and Egger’s regression asymmetry were used to assess publication bias. Subgroup analysis was conducted based on study Regions and sample size. Result Fourteen studies with sample of 8018 adolescents were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of parent-adolescent communication on SRH issues in Ethiopia was found to be 45.18% (95%, CI, 32.23, 58.13%). Adolescents’ knowledge of reproductive health matters (OR = 2.91, 95% CI:1.21, 7.01), believe on importance of discussion on SRH issues (OR = 4.18, 95% CI: 2.63, 6.65), had history of sexual exposure (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.53, 2.50), parents openness to discuss SRH issues (OR = 3.39, 95% CI: (2.48, 4.62), and being female (OR = 1.60, 95% CI:1.07, 2.38) were the positive predictors of parent-adolescent communications on SRH issues. Conclusion The prevalence of parent-adolescent communication on SRH issues was found to be low. Knowledge of adolescents about reproductive health matters, believe on the importance of discussion on reproductive health issues, history of sexual exposure, parents’ openness to discuss SRH issues, and being female were found to be the positive predictors of parent-adolescent communication on SRH issues in Ethiopia. The finding our study indicated that evidence based education about reproductive health matters could significant to improve adolescent parent communication on SRH issues.
