  Objectives: Teenage pregnancy is a world-wide phenomenon and a public health issue so our aim was to identify the contributing factors, and to study perception, complications, effects, challenges and coping mechanisms.

  Method: An explorative qualitative research design, snowball sampling, was used. Ten respondents were interviewed using an interview guide in Khaddamari Ward, Jere L.G.A. of Borno State.

  Results: The major contributing factor to teenage pregnancy is ignorance and lack of proper sex education both at home and school. Few responses listed traditional roles, cultural expectations, using drugs and alcohol, age discrepancy in relationships, socio-economic factors, sexual coercion and abuse. Most of them perceived fear, guilt and stigmatization and only a few of them said they were excited, proud and accepted. Anemia, preterm labour, cephalo-pelvic disproportion, obstructed labour and vesico-vaginal fistula were common complications. Almost all of them dropped out of school.

  Conclusion: Based on these findings of the study, a collaborative effort by all stakeholders involved should be employed in combating the complications of teenage pregnancy.

  The use of ICT is widespread among social workers, many of them use digital technology and social media, keep in touch with their clients online and there are more and more people consulting online. There are also automated treatments that do not require the contribution of the social worker, robots have already appeared abroad in elderly care, use algorithms to prevent child abuse and suicide, and virtual reality in the treatment of addicts. How does all this affect social work as a profession, what professional and ethical issues does the use of technology raise? What kind of new skills do social workers need and how should they reinterpret their roles in the 21st century? In my study, I sought answers to these questions.

  Vallásfüggőségről beszélni a mai korban egyszerre időszerű és tabuizált téma. A vallás ősidőktől fogva az emberi élet része. A viselkedési addikciók kutatásában talán az egyik legizgalmasabb és legösszetettebb terület a maga negatív és pozitív oldalaival. Azonban, amikor vallásfüggőségről beszélünk ott az egyén diszfunkcionális működése mellett megjelenik az adott vallási csoport diszfunkcionális működése is. A témát igyekszem több oldalról körbejárni, hangsúlyt fektetve a vallás fogalmának és funkcióinak tisztázására, körbe járva annak pozitív és negatív hatásait, illetve bemutatni a fiatalokra gyakorolt terápiás jellegének módszereit is.
