“…Concurrent validity was found between the child and maternal versions of the PedsQL in the following HRQoL scales: emotional domain (r = 0.63; p < 0.0001), school domain (r = 0.57; p ≤ 0.01), psychosocial domain (r = 0.63; p < 0.0001), and in the total HRQoL score (r = 0.61; p < 0.0001). We referred only to mothers, based on previous studies showing that mothers’ characteristics correlated with their children's quality of life . As presented in Table , several significant correlations were found between children's and maternal reports among the combined Hungarian and Israeli study groups.…”

IntroductionModern contraceptive use among migrants may be limited due to factors such as language barriers, socio-economic condition, and inadequate knowledge. Limited evidence is available on the factors associated with the use of modern contraceptive methods by migrants in Japan. Moreover, evidence remains scarce on the quality of life (QOL) of migrants in relation to contraceptive use. As the Nepalese migrant population in Japan is increasing, this study was conducted to address their sexual and reproductive health issues. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to examine the factors associated with the use of modern contraceptive methods and to explore the association between the use of modern contraceptive methods and QOL among married Nepalese female migrants in Japan.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted among 189 married Nepalese female migrants residing in five prefectures of Japan from August to October 2016. This study employed snowball sampling to recruit the migrants. Simple and multiple logistic analyses were used to examine the association between independent variables and the use of modern contraceptive methods. Similarly, multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the association between the use of modern contraceptive methods and quality of life.ResultsMigrants who had higher knowledge of modern contraceptive methods were more likely to use them (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 1.31; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.07, 1.60). The psychological domain scores were higher in those who used modern contraceptive methods (Coefficient [B] = 0.58; 95% CI: 0.05, 1.11).ConclusionThis study highlights the importance of the knowledge of modern contraceptive methods to increase their use. Also, the use of modern contraceptive methods improves the psychological QOL domain scores of the migrants using them. These results suggest a need for sexual and reproductive health education for migrants, especially pertaining to modern contraceptive use.

“…Regarding mothers, it is also interesting that sociodemographic factors were considered and that these could have impacted the results. An example of this is that almost 75% of the sample had at least a secondary level of education, with the latter being positively related to QoL (Yoshitake et al, 2016 ).…”

According to the family systems theory, the family is characterised by a hierarchical structure (i.e., it is composed of subsystems that are systems in and of themselves) and adaptive self-organisation able to adjust to change or challenges (Cox & Paley, 2003). The transition to parenthood represents a moment of change for couples at both the intra-personal and inter-personal levels. The term 'transition' is defined as a temporary process during which people must adapt to a new situation (Kralik et al., 2006) and, therefore,
