Children's perspectives on health-promoting living environments
This article discusses the usefulness of social capital as a conceptual tool to design neighbourhoods promoting children's health. The aim was to explore children's perspectives of health promoting environments, and we used a combination of photovoice and grounded theory. Children from two neighbourhoods in a Swedish municipality were invited to photograph and discuss places of importance for their well-being. They presented places facilitating t…
Exploring communication of traumatic experiences from Khmer Rouge genocide survivors to their offspring
BACKGROUND: Traumatic events experienced by parents who have survived genocide influence mental health among their offspring. This study aims at exploring how the communication of traumatic events between Khmer Rouge survivors and their offspring was perceived by both generations. METHODS: Qualitative interviews were performed with six Khmer Rouge survivors and with six young people representing the second generation and were analysed using a con…
How do young people in Cambodia perceive the impact of societal attitudes, media and religion on suicidal behaviour
BACKGROUND: Young people in low and middle income countries (LMICs) in societal transitions with rapidly changing norms face an increased risk of suicide. This study explores how young people in Cambodia understand the impact on suicidal behaviour from societal attitudes, media and religion. MATERIAL: Focus group discussions were held with school students from a suburban area. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the data. DISCUSSION: Particip…
Integrating views on support for mid-level health worker performance
This study indicates that auxiliary nurses' performance is interconnected with the performance of other health system actors who require support, including managers and community-level collaborators. Organizational climate is critical for making auxiliary nurses feel supported, and greater attention to improving the quality of hierarchical relationships is needed in LMIC settings. The participatory nature of the concept-mapping process enabled he…
Exposure to intimate partner violence reduces the protective effect that women’s high education has on children’s corporal punishment
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that women's education is protective against corporal punishment (CP) of children. However, the effect that women's exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) has on the association between women's education and children's CP has not been studied. OBJECTIVE: To understand how the interaction between women's exposure to IPV and their education level influences the occurrence of children's CP at the househol…

Few studies from low- and middle-income countries use qualitative methodology to explore suicidal behavior among young people. In Cambodia, young people face the challenge of rapidly changing times and are vulnerable for suicidal behavior as revealed by research in transitional economies. This study seeks to gain a deeper understanding of the suicidal phenomena from a gender, psychosocial and cultural perspective. Six focus-group discussions were…
‘If no one else stands up, you have to’
BACKGROUND: Access to water is a right and a social determinant of health that should be provided by the state. However, when it comes to access to water in rural areas, the current trend is for communities to arrange for the service themselves through locally run projects. This article presents a narrative of a single community's process of participation in implementing and running a water project in the village of El Triunfo, Guatemala. METHODS…

This article seeks to explore and understand the life situations of sibling caretakers in poor areas in León, Nicaragua. The every day lives for caretakers were studied through observations and interviews with children, informants and parents. The children themselves were satisfied and proud to be trusted as caretakers and felt useful in contributing to their families’ livelihood. However, in a life course perspective the caretaking role implies …
Pathways to suicidal behaviour among adolescent girls in Nicaragua
Testing Pattern Hypotheses On Correlation Matrices
The goodness-of-fit of correlational pattern hypotheses has traditionally been assessed either with a likelihood ratio statistic (in conjunction with maximum likelihood estimation) or with a quadratic form statistic (in conjunction with generalized least squares estimates). In the present paper, several alternative statistics, based on the use of the Fisher r-to-z transform, are proposed, and their performance (as well as that of the traditional …
