“…This contrasts previous literature that found high religiosity as a stigmatising factor and low religiosity as a protective factor in STI diagnosis (49). However, as Catholicism is largely ingrained into Irish culture and society, particularly through education (50), and as many leave Catholicism as adults (51,52), Catholic core beliefs and values may remain with individuals after their shift in religious identity. Such core beliefs formed in children are likely to have lasting influence on the self and attitude development (53).…”

Little is known about the relationship between the stigma associated with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the psychosocial wellbeing of those living with STIs. Stigma stems from societal norms and no prior study has explored this relationship among adults living in Ireland, where traditionally chaste and religious views regarding sexuality are upheld. The present study aimed to explore the psychosocial wellbeing of adults living with STIs in Ireland and identify if female and Catholic participants were disproportionately affected by STI-related stigma. 685 participants (224 male, 450 female, 10 non-binary, 1 unknown, aged 18-51 years) completed an online survey consisting of questions regarding demographic information, STI history, four measures of wellbeing (depression/anxiety, mental wellbeing, self-esteem and social wellbeing) and STI-related stigma. Participants reporting higher STI-related stigma had significantly lower psychosocial wellbeing than those reporting lower STI-related stigma (p < .001). Females with an STI reported significantly higher STI-related stigma (p = .001) and significantly lower psychosocial wellbeing than males (p = .001). No differences were found in overall wellbeing or stigma between those with and without an STI and between Catholics and non-Catholics. Based on these findings, it is recommended that targeted support is provided to women and those living in culturally stigmatising environments to buffer the risk of stigmatisation and decreased psychosocial wellbeing associated with an STI diagnosis.

Objective To explores the social support available to aged hypertensive male clients in a municipality in Ghana. Methods The inclusion criteria were as follows: age ≥60 years and are known hypertensive patients. Data were collected from 186 selected aged male hypertensive patients for 3 months. The questionnaire was self-developed and open-ended. The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Some of the variables were subjected to statistical tests and ranks in the order of importance to respondents. The enrolled respondents were allowed to participate in the study after their informed consent was obtained. It was evident that respondents do not obtain much support or help in taking care of their condition. Results The result revealed that the repondents has no support to help take care of their condition as evident by the responses in the study. The scores on average mean for some variables are (AM = 2.25, SD = 0.381) more than the test value of 2.50. Some of these supports were on feeding support (M = 3.97, SD = 0.278, n = 186), health support (M = 2.87, SD = 0.167, n = 186), and cleaning support (M = 2.59, SD = 0.868, n = 186). Supports such as clothing, socialization, medication, washing, transportation, and financial support were lacking. Conclusions Based on the finding that certain forms of support were lacking, the study concludes that steps undertaken by the government, community, religious bodies, and family toward improving these supports can be of immense help for aged male hypertensive patients living in the Ejura-Sekyedumase municipality.

“…As recently argued by Forsberg and Timonen (2018) visions for the future family are seldom put at the centre of studies of young people's imaginations of the future. In the Czech context a couple of studies have explored the phenomena with children and younger adolescents (Jarkovská 2013, Haukanes andHeggli 2016), but no research has been conducted with young people in the age group in our study -still in school but old enough to have concrete perceptions of adulthood.…”
