Inner strengths as buffers against the impact of insecure attachment on depressive symptoms in working women
Background: Depressive symptoms are often associated with insecure attachment. In China, working mothers are particularly vulnerable due to the intersecting pressures of work and familial responsibilities.

The article argues that honour of the elders in Karen co…

The essentiality of spirituality within their religious belief was a significant theme that a…

Recently, the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR) has embarked on the durable solution of resettlement to third countries for these people. In this paper, the experiences and perceptions of resettlement of Christian Karen are explored through the findings from two focus groups with recen…
