Young people’s views on the impact of care experiences on their ability to form positive intimate relationships
Existing literature tells us that one of the factors important to the sexual health and intimate relationships of adolescents is the extent to which teenagers feel emotionally connected and supported by their families. In this article, we analyse the experiences of disconnectedness from their families and transience during childhood reported by a sample of young adults formerly in care, and the influence they believed this had on their sense of s…

Adolescent Men's Pregnancy Resolution Choices in Relation to an Unintended Pregnancy: A Comparative Analysis of Adolescent Men in Three Countries
This article investigates adolescent men's pregnancy resolution choices in Australia, Ireland, and Italy. It addresses two main gaps in the literature: the lack of research on (adolescent) men's views on unintended pregnancy and pregnancy resolution and the lack of international comparative case studies on men and reproductive choices. Consistent with theories of the transformation of intimacies in society and the growth of individualization, the…
Parents' constructions of the sexual self-presentation and sexual conduct of adolescents: Discourses of gendering and protecting
In this paper, we explore the discourses on sexuality that a sample of parents drew upon when they talked about teenage sexual self-presentation and conduct. The sample consisted of 43 parents (32 mothers and 11 fathers) of young people aged 10-19 years. Data were gathered using in-depth interviews and were analysed using a strategy known as modified analytical induction. Findings indicated that while an acceptance the traditional heterosexual sc…
The Ending of Menstruation: Perspectives and Experiences of Lesbian and Heterosexual Women
This article aims to theorize how a sample of menopausal women, lesbian and heterosexual, construct the ending of their periods, and what the experience means for them. Findings indicate that for most of the lesbian participants (who were in a sizeable minority), emotions of loss at the ending of periods were simultaneously expressed alongside positive feelings, and they engaged in greater introspection around the issue than did heterosexual wome…
Women’s Accounts of Heterosexual Experiences in the Context of Menopause
A number of biomedical models of female sexuality have emerged during the past few decades, and these have been challenged by feminist theorists who have tended to focus on the influence of contextual issues that mediate women's sexual experiences. In this article, a qualitative analysis of accounts relating to heterosexual experiences obtained from 25 menopausal women in Ireland through in-depth interviews is presented and considered in light of…

The silent treatment: Parents' narratives of sexuality education with young people
This paper is based on research undertaken in Ireland that sought to understand how parents communicate with their children about sexuality. Forty-three parents were interviewed and data were analysed using analytical induction. Data indicated that while parents tended to pride themselves on the culture of openness to sexuality that prevailed in their home, they often described situations where very little dialogue on the subject actually transpi…
Menopause Narratives: The Interplay of Women's Embodied Experiences With Biomedical Discourses
Conventional approaches to menopause tend to contrast the biomedical position on menopause with women's actual experiences of it. Rather than focusing primarily on the tensions between these perspectives (biomedical vs. lay), our emphasis here is on the impact of biomedicine in shaping participants' perceptions of their status as menopausal. Based on interview data gathered from 39 women in Ireland, we argue that the cultural authority of biomedi…
Controlling response shift bias: The use of the retrospective pre‐test design in the evaluation of a master's programme
Traditionally the measures used to evaluate the impact of an educational programme on student outcomes and the extent to which students change is a comparison of the student's pre‐test scores with his/her post‐test scores. However, this method of evaluating change may be problematic due to the confounding factor of response shift bias when student self‐reports of change are used. Response shift bias occurs when the student's internal frame of ref…
Heterosexual experiences of secondary school pupils in Ireland: Sexual coercion in context
This paper reports on data from a wider study of young people's heterosexual experiences in Ireland, but focuses in particular on issues of sexual coercion. Data were gathered from 29 focus group interviews with 102 young women and 124 young men and were analysed using a qualitative research strategy. Drawing on concepts of social coercion and interpersonal coercion, we argue that both female and male participants reported a general sense of soci…
Lost in Translation, or the True Text: Mental Health Nursing Representations of Psychology
One theme of academic discourse and research in mental health nursing is the exploration and application of psychosocial models of nursing practice. Despite this, the influence of disciplinary psychological knowledge on practitioners' talk about nursing practice has not been extensively researched. To address this gap, the authors analyzed talk about psychological work using transcripts of 10 focus groups involving 59 mental health nurses. Nurses…
Children Talking: Emerging Perspectives and Experiences of Cigarette Smoking
Despite efforts to prevent the onset of smoking, the rate among older children remains high. In this article, the authors report on a longitudinal, qualitative study of 11 to 16-year-old children describing children's construction of what it means to be a smoker, the reasons given for children smoking, and their views of smoking behavior. Findings indicate that children adopt broad interpretations of what constitutes smoking behavior; although th…
Masculinities and young men's sex education needs in Ireland: Problematizing client-centred health promotion approaches
In recent decades, dominant discourses in health promotion have emphasized empowerment, client participation and the notion of people identifying and being facilitated to meet their own health needs. However, there has been little analysis of the concept of 'need' and the possibility, at least, that the fulfillment of some such self-defined needs are not in the interest of social justice and equality. In this article, we present an account of the…

Age and Partnership as Public Symbols: Stigma and Non-Marital Motherhood in an Irish Context
Recently emerging discourses on non-marital motherhood in the Republic of Ireland indicate that the most problematized of non-marital mothers are younger women, without partners, and those who are state dependent. This article reports on a qualitative analysis of interview data obtained from 51 unmarried pregnant women selected from a Dublin maternity hospital regarding their experiences in negotiating encounters in public places. Data suggest th…

From Mutual Pretense Awareness to Open Awareness: Single Pregnant Women's Public Encounters in an Irish Context
Based on qualitative interviews with 51 single pregnant women, this article explores how participants negotiated encounters in public in an Irish context. It is argued that tensions in some encounters that women experienced exhibited features of the phenomenon defined as mutual pretense awareness, first identified by Glaser and Strauss in their work on dying. As in Glaser and Strauss's work, mutual pretense awareness often gave way to open awaren…
