| Research Abstract |
This study elucidated the type of support desired by parents and the opinions of school nurses, teachers, midwives, and doctors regarding support for parents in order to construct a child-rearing support system to deal with sex-related issues in adolescents. Mothers wished to know about the psychology of boys, the state of sex-related education, as well as the recent influences surrounding children and methods of educating them about sex. School nurses used methods such as class visits, with the idea of using opportunities to educate children as a supportive measure for parents. However, this support was difficult because of the lack of coordination with experts. Midwives were attempting to cooperate with schools because they considered it necessary to provide support that helped in building a relationship of trust between parents and children and prepare the parents for confrontingthe challenges of adolescence. On the basis of these results, a support model focusing on cooperation between school nurses and midwives was created as a child-rearing support system. In addition, this study implemented and assessed discussion meetings with mothers of junior high school students as part of the child-rearing support system. The discussion meetings were evaluated in detail, and, because theseprovided an opportunity for mothers to review their child-rearing abilities in addition to gaining specialist knowledge and information, the mothers felt that such discussion meetings would be useful in developing their future child-rearing.
