19. Examining the demographic and psychological variables associating with the childbearing intention among gay and bisexual men in Taiwan

Abstract

ABSTRACTEquality for marriage and reproduction has become a major policy agenda worldwide. Opportunities for sexual minority individuals to pursue planned parenthood through assisted reproductive technologies, adoption or surrogacy emerged only recently. Perhaps due to socio-cultural and structural barriers, sexual minority individuals consistently report lower parenthood desires and intentions than heterosexual individuals. Using a cross-sectional online survey, we examined the relationship between parenthood desire and demographic and psychosocial characteristics in a sample of 1,395 gay and bisexual men in Taiwan. Results showed that sexual orientation, relationship status, psychosocial well-being and cultural factors such as filial piety are significant predictors of parenthood desire. Implications for social work practice are discussed.

Abstract

The emotional consequences of infertility are well documented. However, relatively few studies have emphasized the dyadic emotional interaction within couples, despite infertility being a shared life event. This study adopted a dyadic (between two people) approach to explore the emotional complexity that infertile couples face. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted with 24 participants, including eight infertile couples and eight wives undergoing infertility treatments. Conjoint and individual interviews were conducted through purposive sampling in a large fertility centre in Tianjin, China, between June and August 2015. Thematic analysis identified two main themes: (i) 'decisional ambivalence', with subthemes of 'ambivalent attitudes towards treatment', 'uncertainty about treatment outcomes', and 'treatment-related lifestyle changes'; and (ii) 'relational ambivalence' which included subthemes of 'intergenerational ambivalence' and 'partner ambivalence'. Complex emotions of ambivalence among infertile couples were common as infertility clearly shattered their assumptive world on family formation. With complex entanglement of mixed emotions, ambivalence was intimately associated with cultural norms, social expectations, and active or over engagement of family members in Chinese societies. Since ambivalence could threaten mental and physical health during pregnancy, healthcare professionals should be prepared to assist infertile couples with identifying, articulating, and normalizing decisional and relational ambivalence during the treatment process.

Abstract

Couples undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are prone to sexual dysfunction and lower quality of life (QoL), but whether the incidence of these problems differs with the type of ART is unknown. As such, we conducted this cross-sectional survey to compare the sexual function and QoL of 75 couples undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI), and 160 couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). They completed an anonymous questionnaire which included: (i) demographic characteristics; (ii) female sexual function index (FSFI) or (iii) international index of erectile function-5 (IIEF-5); and (iv) fertility QoL questionnaire (FertiQoL). Overall, 22.6% of wives and 39.1% of husbands were at risk for sexual dysfunction, and the risk was similar in IUI and IVF groups. Mean core/treatment/total FertiQoL scores of husbands were higher than wives: 74.98 vs. 68.24/70.02 vs. 65.87/73.52 vs. 67.54 (all p < 0.001). FertiQoL scores were similar in IUI and IVF groups except wives' treatment FertiQoL score was significantly higher in the IUI group (68.93 vs. 64.44; p = 0.009). This study confirms that risks for sexual dysfunction were similar in IUI and IVF couples. Wives undergoing IVF had significantly lower treatment FertiQoL score. In both IUI and IVF groups, husbands' QoL was better than wives' QoL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective. To evaluate clinical trial evidence of the effectiveness of qigong exercise on depressive and anxiety symptoms. Methods. Thirteen databases were searched from their respective inception through December 2012. Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Effects of qigong across trials were pooled. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) were calculated for the pooled effects. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 test. Study quality was evaluated using the Wayne Checklist. Results. Twelve RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The results of meta-analyses suggested a beneficial effect of qigong exercise on depressive symptoms when compared to waiting-list controls or usual care only (SMD = −0.75; 95% CI, −1.44 to −0.06), group newspaper reading (SMD = −1.24; 95% CI, −1.64 to −0.84), and walking or conventional exercise (SMD = −0.52; 95% CI, −0.85 to −0.19), which might be comparable to that of cognitive-behavioral therapy (P=0.54). Available evidence did not suggest a beneficial effect of qigong exercise on anxiety symptoms. Conclusion. Qigong may be potentially beneficial for management of depressive symptoms, but the results should be interpreted with caution due to the limited number of RCTs and associated methodological weaknesses. Further rigorously designed RCTs are warranted.

Abstract

This paper explores the problem of China's 'missing' girls--estimated to run into many millions. It considers the impact of the underpinning Confucian value system in China that has produced a culture of son preference and which, together with China's compulsory family planning program and 'one child policy', has effectively established a 'one son policy'. Discussion of the various means by which the birth or survival of daughters have traditionally been prevented provides the context for identifying the contribution of new sex selection procedures to the maintenance of son preference in contemporary Chinese society. The paper concludes that China's son preference is not simply a personal problem for the millions of 'missing girls' who were destined to live a shorter life and for the surviving girls who continue to face considerable discrimination simply because they are of the 'wrong' sex; it heralds a social and demographic disaster of major proportions for which neither the government nor the people of China appear to have the will or the means to forestall.
