This paper explores the perspectives and experiences of young mothers with unintended teenage pregnancies. A qualitative study with a one-to-one approach was conducted with ten teenagers aged 16 to 19 years old with unintended pregnancy. The participants were selected via purposive sampling from a woman protection centre in west-coastal Peninsular Malaysia. Perspectives of unintended teenage pregnancy, factors influencing unintended teenage pregnancy, and approaches to overcome unintended teenage pregnancy were themes that emerged from the data. The study findings can be used to develop suitable models, training modules and educational programmes for the prevention of unintended pregnancy among teenagers.","PeriodicalId":35584,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Social Work","volume":"81 1","pages":"475-484"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46598061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is a quantitative research based on the relational model. The findings of the study reveal that informal relationships and transactions at schools are at a medium level. Communication and informal relationships among school employees in and out of school is insufficient. School principals display transformational leadership behaviours more than transactional leadership behaviours. There is a mediumlevel and positive relationship between the level of informal relationships and school principals’ transformational leadership styles at high schools. According to the results of the study, an inverse and low relationship was found between informal relations and school principals’ transactional leadership style behaviours.","PeriodicalId":35584,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Social Work","volume":"81 1","pages":"431-458"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46747906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors describe the approaches used to discuss sexual health concerns with young men, the challenges faced and the ways in which they were countered. The learnings drawn from this study may provide insights for designing community interventions to address the beliefs and practices of young men concerning sexual health.","PeriodicalId":35584,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Social Work","volume":"81 1","pages":"375-384"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49127648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
