School-Based Sexual Health Education for Adolescents in Turkey: A Systematic Review

The purpose of this study is, identifying school-based intervention studies that are made regarding the Sexual Heath Education in Turkey and are reviewing systematically. Peer-reviewed articles and thesis in Turkey were systematically searched from online databases. Studies that passed the inclusion criteria were qualitatively assessed. Six studies met the inclusion criteria. All studies showed that positive results were achieved at the end of the training. In the case of six studies, the method of expression was chosen as the training method, and only one study included the peer education method. Only one study included the social dimension of sexual health. None of the studies did report longitudinal outcomes. The negative attitudes towards sexual health education and hidden cultural resistance are, unfortunately, the main reasons for this. Considering the potential for the young population in Turkey, the number of school-based sexual health education should be increased, and educational content should be enriched.

Conveying hypertension message: An investigation into the language and content used in primary health clinics in South Africa

Background: Hypertension is a global health burden affecting developed and developing countries, and South Africa is no exception.Aim: This article aims to highlight the language and content used in health education on hypertension in primary healthcare (PHC) by health promoters and in pamphlets.Methods: The study design was quantitative descriptive. The population comprised a purposive selected sample of 12 health promoters in 12 PHC clinics and 50 pamphlets relating to health education on hypertension. An audio recorder was used to record health education provided by health promoters. Quantitative content analysis and frequency distribution was used to analyse the data.Results: The health promoters used various South African languages mixed with English (code switching). Patients were taught about lifestyle modifications and encouraged to adhere to management therapy. The switching in language usage may affect the understanding of those who do not speak the local language and that may explain the reason for lack of hypertension-suited life modification required by health education.Conclusion: It is important that heath education on hypertension should be standardised so that the content of health education in clinic A is similar to that in clinic B. Information contained in pamphlets should be summarised and standardised to the content presented by health promoters.

A Decade of Research Literature in Physical Education Pedagogy

The purpose of this study was to provide a detailed analysis of the research literature in physical education for one decade, including data on the research focus (i.e., teaching, teacher education, and curriculum).

Lunchtime as a therapeutic moment: a health education approach with alcohol-dependent women

The alcoholism is a relevant problem in public health. The use of alcohol among women has increased as well as the search for treatment. This research proposes the resignification of food to these women, as a harm reduction strategy. The research aimed to study and to discuss the experience of lunchtime as a therapeutic moment, presenting theoretic assumptions, strategies and immediate results. The clinical-qualitative methodology and the content analysis were used. The results, divided in seven categories, refer to the educational intervention process: environment as facilitator; sharing food - becoming a partner; broadening the perception of food; food and its meanings; sexuality; relapses; depression x motivation. The heath education performed during lunch is a possibility of therapeutic intervention, provided that the health professionals perceive the multidimensionality of food, considering the nutritional aspects as much as the symbolic ones, which are relevant for the creation of bonding and motivation for the treatment.
