Background: Worldwide, Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) issues comprise a third of health problems for women aged 15–44. SRH education equips people with knowledge of concepts around sexuality and reproduction, and the skills help to make informed decisions to prevent sexual and reproductive ill-health, including unplanned pregnancy and HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of late adolescents relating to SRH, examining their attitudes toward sex and contraception, and to identify the gaps in knowledge pertiaing to decision-making around risk-taking behaviour.Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was undertaken with 30 adolescents aged 18–19, purposively and snowball sampled from a university in Northern Thailand. Data collaction took place from July 2020 to January 2021. In-depth individual interviews were conducted until data saturation was reached. Data were recorded, transcribed, and analysed in ATLAS.ti version 9, using Modified Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to identify pertinent themes.Results: Participants revealed five key experiences of SRH related to sex and contraception:Keeping a secret;Seeking Freedom and Love;Having SRH education;Self-protection;Parental acceptance. All findings reflected the value and impact of SRH on the experiences of late adolescents.Conclusions: This study provides detailed knowledge about adolescents’ perspectives of SRH and rights in terms of accessing sexual and reproductive health care and information as well as autonomy in sexual and reproductive decision-making. Gaining SRH education can assist decision-making concerning contraceptive methods for family planning and STI prevention. The study recommends that SRH and rights-based education should be designed responsively and appropriately for female and male adolescents, their families, and society. The content of SRH should be informed and advocated by healthcare providers, educators, policy makers, and systems to empower adolescents in order to achieve effective SRH education.

The global surge in the ageing population has intensified pressure on healthcare delivery systems, leading to a heightened demand for elderly daycare services. This demographic shift necessitates innovative approaches to meet the complex needs of older adults, including expanding community-based care options. Elderly daycare centers play a crucial role in comprehensive geriatric care by offering services. Understanding how healthcare providers experience their work in Elderly Daycare Centres is essential for improving both service quality and staff preservation. This study seeks the experiences of these providers to understanding of meanings healthcare professionals assign to challenges they face, the successful practices they employ, and highlight opportunities for enhancement within geriatric care. Interpretative phenomenology influenced by Heidegger’s philosophy in qualitative research was conducted. Thirteen semi-structured interviews and narrative accounts with multidisciplinary healthcare providers from four Elderly Daycare Centres were collected and analysed, and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Multidisciplinary healthcare providers discovered four key aspects of their experience while delivering services in the first two programs (the Muscle Strengthening Program and the Nutrition Program for individuals with nutritional deficiencies): Opportunities in policy implementation, Challenging experience, Enhancing organisational effectiveness and engaging support, and Reflections on Program Outcomes and Impacts. All findings mirrored the value and impact of providing healthcare services in Elderly Daycare Centres on the experiences of healthcare providers from various disciplines. Elderly Daycare Centres not only provide healthcare services that offer emotional support but also positively influence seniors’ mental and physical well-being. Multidisciplinary healthcare providers caring for older adults encounter various experiences shaped by the complexities of aging populations. Support of this nature will heighten awareness of the difficulties elderly individuals encounter and advance potential solutions. Therefore, healthcare professionals stressed the need for a more holistic and coordinated care framework to improve both the delivery of services and health outcomes for elderly individuals.
