Abstract:
The present research paper aims to identify the knowledge and skill requirements of social workers at family counseling centers and identify the methods of promoting the intellectual security of Saudi families to make suggestions for the success of social workers from the perspective of workers and academicians. The author adopted the analytical-descriptive approach and applied two questionnaires for data collection. The results showed that the most important knowledge requirements are familiarity with methods that help the family invest its capabilities and acquire experience, from the perspective of workers, and training in providing the services that the family needs based on its needs and the capabilities of the center, from the perspective of academicians. The most important skill requirements are acquiring skills related to the steps of problem-solving to promote the family's intellectual security, from the perspective of workers, and acquiring skills and applying good communication methods, from the perspective of academicians. The methods of promoting intellectual security are educating families about the importance of the culture of dialog, from the perspective of workers, and educating families about interest in and observing the behavior of children, from the perspective of academicians. The workers suggested running training courses in family counseling centers to train social workers, whereas the academicians suggested increasing the number of social workers at family counseling centers to help provide professional services. The study recommended running training courses at family counseling centers to train social workers in the fields of promoting the intellectual security of Saudi families.

Abstract:
This study proposes the implementation of a comprehensive social policy system in Germany that safeguards women's reproductive rights and children's rights to birth. This system comprises a birth notification system, a protected birth system, a pregnancy conflict counseling system, and related service delivery mechanisms. A comparative case study was conducted to explain the support social services and family policy system for women in pregnancy conflict situations, focusing on a pregnancy conflict counseling center in Germany. Following the revision of the Criminal Law in 1992, the German government began to partially legalize abortion and introduce pregnancy conflict counseling centers. This research found that the German government has supported women in pregnancy conflict situations through child-centered cash benefits and family policy programs aimed at promoting work-life balance. Our research underscores the need to establish a social service delivery system that acknowledges women as the primary stakeholders in childbirth. Additionally, this study proposes revisions to laws related to abortion penalties and the establishment of a comprehensive family policy system.

Abstract:
All urologists have faced patients suffering a renal cancer asking for the occurrence of the disease in their offspring and very often the answer to this question has not been well founded from the scientific point of view, and only in few cases a familial segregation tree is performed. The grate shift seen in the detection of small renal masses and renal cancer in the last decades will prompt us to know the indications for familial studies, which and when are necessary, and probably to refer those patients with a suspected familial syndrome to specialized oncological centers where the appropriate molecular and familial studies could be done. Use of molecular genetic testing for early identification of at-risk family members improves diagnostic certainty and would reduce costly screening procedures in at-risk members who have not inherited disease-causing mutations. This review will focus on the molecular bases of familial syndromes associated with small renal masses and the indications of familial studies in at-risk family members.

Abstract:
The diagnosis of a hereditary cancer syndrome can be psychologically stressful and influence family planning. This study aimed to gain insights into the relationship between the desire for children and the distress of female carriers. Women (N = 255) with different hereditary cancer syndromes were assessed from November 2019 to July 2021 at genetic counseling centers, the centers of the German HBOC-Consortium and the centers of the German HNPCC-Consortium regarding their distress levels with the NCCN Distress Thermometer (DT). The desire for children was measured by self-developed questions. Levels of distress and desire for children were evaluated descriptively. Factors influencing the desire for children and distress were calculated using binary logistic regression: 56% (n = 51) of 18- to 39-year-old participants reported a desire to have children; 70.6% of the carriers with a desire for children indicated a need for advice from their physicians regarding family planning. The diagnosis led 61.5% to postpone the timing of family planning, and the majority (68.8%) opted for an earlier birth. Carriers had higher levels of distress. Younger carriers (p = 0.037) and those living in poorer economic circumstances (p = 0.011) were more distressed. The diagnosis of hereditary cancer syndrome affects family planning. The results emphasize the importance of physicians addressing family planning in their counseling sessions.

Abstract:
We consider the influence of emotional intelligence and empathic abilities level in counseling therapists on the satisfaction with the quality of family counseling among clients from dysfunctional families. The study involved 26 counseling therapists working in counseling centers in Moscow, as well as 70 family members who sought advice on family difficulties. The effectiveness of counseling and customer satisfaction is influenced by both the method chosen by the consultant to solve the family issue, and the dialogical interaction between consultants and clients, which characterizes the qualitative side of the therapeutic alliance. The role of specific characteristics of emotional intelligence and empathy among counseling therapists contributing to the establishment of a therapeutic alliance has been established. The results of the study showed a positive correlation between customer satisfaction with counseling and the ability of a therapist to control his emotions and manage the emotions of clients, as well as the flexible use of rational and emotional channels of empathy, which allows coping with difficulties in the counseling process. Conclusions are drawn about the need to include trainings for the development of these qualities in the professional training of counseling therapists, since existing educational standards focus mainly on the “technical” side of counseling, ignoring the basic psychological basis for the success of working with members of problem families – the skillful establishment of psychological contact and the development of trusting relationships with people who had different goals and positions in a protracted conflict and unwilling to take responsibility for its resolution.

Abstract:
Objective: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Bowen family systems therapy and couple therapy based on integrated behavioral systems on marital intimacy and family functions in couples attending counseling centers in Mahshahr county. Method: This study was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group. The population of this study consisted of all couples who referred to counseling centers in Mahshahr city due to marital problems. Out of the population, 30 couples were selected through convenience sampling and were randomly assigned to three groups. The instruments used in this study were Bowen family systems therapy, couple therapy based on integrated behavioral systems, the Marital Intimacy Questionnaire (2006), and the Epstein, Baldwin, and Bishop (1983) Family Functioning Questionnaire. Data processing was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics (covariance analysis). Findings: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the three groups in the variables of marital intimacy and family function. This means that Bowen family systems therapy and couple therapy based on integrated behavioral systems have a significant effect on these variables. Conclusion: Bowen family systems therapy and couple therapy based on integrated behavioral systems did not differ in their effectiveness on marital intimacy and family functions.

Abstract:
Literature supports that family members of individuals who abuse substances are significantly influential, whether it be positive or negative (Liddle et al., 2001). Evidence-based family therapy decreases substance use by adolescents (Slesnick et al., 2006). The purpose of this study was to gain the perspectives of clinical directors regarding decision making of family involvement at inpatient substance abuse treatment centers. Clinical directors were the focus of this study due to their experience, credentials, and their ability to oversee all clients and programs in a substance abuse treatment center. Purposeful sampling was utilized to obtain participants. Saturation was reached at three participants. The study used Thematic Analysis to analyze perspectives of clinical directors and identify themes between and among all participants. The data collection utilized were interviews with clinical directors. The importance of family involvement, factors related to choice of model, and evidence-based models preferred were the main themes discovered utilizing Thematic Analysis. Thematic Analysis exhibited all clinical directors in this study perceived family involvement ‛essential’ and all were not directly in control of decision making regarding family involvement with clients at inpatient substance abuse treatment centers.

Abstract:
Using latent profile analysis, we identified patterns of parenting satisfaction and paternal involvement among 201 South Korean fathers. Three profiles were identified: (1) low involved (n = 74), highly involved (n = 28), and moderately involved (n = 99). A Multivariate Analysis of Variance analysis revealed that fathers in the low involved (n = 74) profile were significantly different from their counterparts in the other profiles regarding longer work hours and higher levels of work-to-family conflict. Also, fathers in the highly involved profile were more likely to report their wives are employed. The findings indicate that paternal involvement types are affected by work-related factors among Korean fathers. Implications for policymakers and research will be discussed. Objectives - To examine the levels of paternal involvement with children and parental satisfaction among Korean fathers.- To explore subgroups of Korean fathers with similar patterns of parental satisfaction and father involvement types.- To identify the differences among the subgroups of Korean fathers regarding demographic characteristics, work hours, wife’s employment, job stress, and work to family conflict.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to create a profile of the mortgage default clientele at the Utah State University Family Life Center, Housing and Financial Counseling (FLC HFC) and to examine how clientele were utilizing the counseling services. Demographic and mortgage variables were used to create the profile of clientele and examine the utilization of services. Specific variables key to the study included: loan type, time of delinquency when clients sought counseling, how clients were referred to the FLC HFC, and the point in counseling when an outcome was achieved (keeping the home or losing the home to foreclosure). The sample consisted of all closed mortgage default cases at the FLC HFC (N = 213) and covered the years between July 1999 and September 2004. Descriptive statistics were used to create a profile of clients and survival analysis was used to examine the utilization of services. Clientele were on average 36 years old, married, had 2.3 dependents, and were Caucasian. The majority of clientele had no savings, was behind on other debt, reported a reduction in income or job Joss as the cause of default, and sought counseling early on in the delinquency. Clients reaching an outcome of counseling in one to four appointments were statistically significantly different than those reaching an outcome in five or more appointments. Tn the context of survival analysis, clients were divided into three groups: survival (positive outcome of counseling), foreclosure/bankruptcy (negative outcome of counseling), or lost-to-follow up. The findings indicate that clientele with government loans use the services more than clientele with conventional loans. Among the clientele who kept their home, there were no statistically significant differences by Joan type. The FLC HFC can use this information to better tailor the services offered to mortgage default clientele.

Abstract:
Religion is important to many Americans and the way they approach life, but psychologists are less likely than the general population to be religious. Because of this, it is important to not only know how religious commitment can influence clients' outcome and experience in psychotherapy, but also how the level of match between client and therapist religious commitment might impact those variables. The current study was undertaken in order to investigate how client religious commitment impacts distress at the beginning and end of treatment, how therapist religious commitment impacts the use of religious/spiritual interventions in therapy, and whether the level of match between client and therapist religious commitment predicts client perception of therapy and/or outcome. Seven hundred and thirty individual therapy clients at a university counseling center completed measures of religious commitment, symptom distress, and concerns about therapy throughout their course of treatment. Forty-four therapists also completed a measure of religious commitment in addition to session-by-session checklists detailing what types of interventions they used in each appointment with participating clients. Client religious commitment was found to significantly predict lower initial distress (B = -0.77, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.07, 95% CI [-0.97, -0.57]) and lower distress at the end of therapy(B = -0.32, p = 0.001, R2 = 0.34, 95% CI [-0.51, -0.14]), and fewer concerns about therapy predicted better outcomes (B = 2.04, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.38, 95% CI [1.52, 2.52]). Contrary to the findings of previous research, therapist religious commitment did not predict use of religious/spiritual interventions in therapy (B = 0.05, p = 0.062, R2 = 0.09, 95% CI [-0.002, 0.11]). Finally, level of match between client and therapist religious commitment was not related to client concerns about therapy (B = -0.002, p = 0.161, 95% CI [-2.40, 9.57]) or client outcomes B = -0.014, p = 0.120, 95% CI [-0.03, 0.004]). Possible explanations and influencing factors are put forth and the findings are discussed in the context of a highly religious population.

Abstract:
The purposes of this study were to describe and categorize the types of clients seeking reverse mortgage counseling, and to document the growth in demand for reverse mortgage counseling from one counseling center: The USU Family Life Center - Housing and Financial Counseling Services (FLC HFC). A second purpose was to gain a better understanding of the reasons why more senior Americans are seeking reverse mortgages. A third purpose was to gain a better understanding of the retirement preparedness of current seniors seeking reverse mortgages, which could lead to improved counseling services, early retirement intervention awareness, and encourage increased pre-retirement preparation. Information was collected from 361 inactive reverse mortgage counseling files at the FLC HFC. A subset of 117 more recent and complete files was used to describe, categorize, and gain greater understanding of the clients seeking reverse mortgage counseling, their reasons for considering a reverse mortgage, and their retirement preparation. Descriptive statistics, crosstabs, ANOVAS, and frequency tables were used. Clientele were mostly Caucasian, married, and retired, and their mean age was 74 for males and 72 for females. Average annual income per client household was $29,483, ranging from $7,860 to $92,400. Most clients were mortgagors compared to homeowners with the most common reason for seeking a reverse mortgage to pay off an existing mortgage followed by increasing income. Slightly more than half (51.4%) did not obtain a reverse mortgage; of those who did, 85.7% received all or some of their funds as a lump sum. This study was unique in that it analyzed clients seeking counseling for a reverse mortgage rather than just the borrowers who originated a reverse mortgage. It also looked at their reasons for seeking the reverse mortgage. Younger clients were more likely to desire to pay off an existing forward mortgage; older clients were more likely to need increased income. The practical significance of the study's findings can be used to encourage the preparation of near-retirement adults and to encourage senior mortgagors to carefully plan the use of funds received from a reverse mortgage leading to an increase in the financial well-being of seniors.

Abstract:
Mental health disorders are a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. Mental health services do not meet demand due to accessibility issues, financial burden, and increasing needs. Technology can provide affordable, accessible mental health care and some research suggests internet-delivered Cognitive Behavior Therapy (iCBT) may be an effective treatment. In iCBTs, participants typically complete Cognitive Behavior Therapy modules and videos and are supported by a therapist. Advantages of iCBT over face-to-face therapy include lower cost, no travel time, easy access, no waitlists, and trackable progress. To our knowledge there have been no naturalistic studies of iCBT programs. Therefore, this study will evaluate the usage and effectiveness of one iCBT program, SilverCloud, in a university counseling center. Participants (N=5568) were students at a large, private western university. Participants were either self-referred to the program, chose to enroll at intake as a standalone intervention, or were referred by their treating clinician as an adjunct to regular treatment. We compared the outcomes and usage of participants using SilverCloud concurrently with psychotherapy to participants using SilverCloud alone, and participants in psychotherapy alone.

Abstract:
xiii, 101 p.
Ensuring that psychological interventions are well received and effective among ethnically and culturally diverse groups is at the forefront of psychological research. This study is a nonexperimental, posttest evaluation of differences between European American and ethnocultural group parents' perceptions of the Family Check-Up (FCU), a family-centered, ecologically and community-based intervention that provides family assessment, support, and motivation to change for families coming to counseling. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of the FCU but has yet to evaluate parent perceptions of the FCU. This study examines features of intervention implementation that lead to treatment satisfaction and adherence by evaluating parent perceptions of (a) the FCU intervention, (b) therapist interpersonal qualities, and (c) therapist multicultural competence. Both parent and observational coder ratings of the intervention were assessed along these dimensions. In the first year of a longitudinal study of the FCU, data were collected from parents of children who attended three public middle schools in a metropolitan area of the Pacific Northwest. Within-subjects analyses were conducted to assure measurement validation and treatment fidelity. A between-subjects multivariate analysis of variance was utilized to examine ethnocultural group differences. Results revealed that all measures demonstrated high internal consistency reliability, high interscale correlations, and good construct validity. Results revealed high interrater agreement between parent ratings of treatment receipt and coder ratings of treatment delivery, indicating treatment fidelity. Results revealed no statistically significant differences in parent perceptions of the FCU intervention, regardless of parent ethnocultural group. Additional analyses demonstrated that observational coders rated family consultants who worked with ethnocultural group parents higher in multicultural competence than those who worked with European American parents. In summary, study results suggest (a) that the measures developed and adapted for this investigation were reliable and valid, and (b) that we found no evidence of perceived differences in the FCU intervention across ethnocultural group and European American parents. The FCU continues to be an intervention that can be successfully implemented among ethnically and culturally diverse families.

Abstract We live in an era in which crisis-inducing events and acute crisis episodes are prevalent. Each year, millions of people are confronted with traumatic events that they cannot resolve on their own, and they often turn to crisis units of community mental health centers, psychiatric screening units, outpatient clinics, hospital emergency rooms, college counseling centers, family counseling agencies, and domestic violence programs (Roberts, 2005c). Although these events are as varied as each individual’s unique response to the situation, some events are universally viewed as crisis inducing.

Abstract:
In India, palliative care is a specialized care provided at the tertiary health centers. The models of palliative care that provide either a continuum of care and/or end-of-life care services in the country include (a) hospice centers, (b) mobile home care palliative teams, (c) family-based care, and (d) neighborhood network palliative care programs. The role of the social worker is mainly to coordinate between health and social care agencies, advocate for the client/family with medical professionals and voluntary agencies, and provide psychosocial counseling and bereavement support to the family. In keeping with the cultural ethos of the country, working with the family, understanding collusion, and integrating spirituality are vital aspects in providing effective palliative care services.

They offered programs including menopause counseling, hormone replacement therapy and diagnosis and treatment of menstrual problems. Repro-ductive health centers provided for more gynecological exams, preg-nancy tests and contraceptive services. Compared to primary centers, reproductive health centers provided less general exams and offered fewer preventive services like blood pressure monitoring and immu-nizations. Along with the emergence of hospital sponsored programs of the 1980's came the creation of breast centers. Some diagnostic type breast centers offered only screenings and imaging services while others were comprehensive centers providing for screening along with diagnosis and treatment. Breast centers were found to offer more breast care services than other types of women's centers but again the range of services offered from one center to another was vastly differ-ent; 95% of breast centers offered diagnostic mammography, and 93% also provided self-breast exam instruction. Also 71% provided for biopsies and ultrasound and 37% provided for breast cancer treatment. Other women centers were found to be a mix of models; some education, some referral services, some independent support groups and some that also provided minimal clinical services. Many offered inpatient units for obstetrics and gynecology and outpatient services for breast screening. Education and information services were found to be an important component of the women's centers offerings. Many provided support groups as well as community agency referrals. Childbirth education classes, baby and you classes and exercise and diet classes usually were provided for an extra fee. Implications to Marketing The survey found many hospitals marketed their services to women because they perceived them as major consumers of health care and as referral sources for their families' health. Hence, a primary purpose was to increase hospital use and, therefore, revenue. Hospitals were and still are being innovative in their use of space. These hospital owned women's centers tended to be considerably market-oriented. They offered the opportunity to provide both a therapeutic milieu tailored to women and access to the resources of the larger institution. They appear to be a viable option for women and for the hospital." In Family Systems/Family Therapy, 31–36. Routledge, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203725184-4.

Abstract:
Abstract Trauma-provoking and crisis-inducing events have escalated in frequency and prevalence throughout the world. The spectrum of crisis events ranges across public events that impact large segments of society, such as a commercial airliner crash, terrorist bombings, or attacks of buildings, railroads, or other forms of terrorist attacks. Hundreds of thousands of individuals become so distressed and overwhelmed by a life-threatening or traumatic event that they rapidly experience an acute crisis episode. Every year millions of individuals are confronted with crisis-producing events that they are unable to resolve on their own, and they frequently seek help from crisis-intervention programs, crisisintervention units of community mental health centers, outpatient clinics, family counseling agencies, and clinicians in private practice.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic, racial injustice, and civil unrest of 2020 disproportionately impacted Black and Brown communities jolting “progressive” academic systems and exposing inherent inequities. Such inequality warrants authentic activism to promote social awareness and facilitate a culture of collaboration, respect, and inclusivity. This chapter centers on three early-career Black and Brown women leaders associated with counseling programs who voice their positionality statements, experiences, and views to align with relevant theoretical concepts. Black feminism, postcolonial feminism, and critical race theory pedagogies serve as the authors' foundation, highlighting race, culture, gender, and intersectionality to unmask cultural oppression in higher education. Committed to their lives' work as academics, researchers, and mental health practitioners, the authors assume substantial professional responsibilities and engage in emotional labor adopting a sense of family and mothering to support students. Finally, the authors provide suggestions to undo injustices during turbulent times.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the application of the 2015 Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC) in conjunction with an eclectic family systems when counseling a Latin@ family. The Martinez family was referred to family counseling due to concerns of one of the children's school counselors, regarding a possible eating disorder diagnosis. The case study includes a rich description of the first session with the Mexican-American Martinez family, and examines family dynamics around the identified client, Javier. The Martinez family includes the following members: (1) Mañuel, Javier's 41 year-old father who owns his own construction business; (2) Camila, Javier's 38 year-old stay-at-home mother; (3) Alejandro, Javier's 17-year-old brother; and (4) Isabella, Javier's 12 year-old sister. A discussion of the author's cultural background, counseling approach, and use of the MSJCC lens when working with the Martinez family is also included. Initial goals and prognosis for treatment are considered.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Poverty in urban areas is a complex problem for the development of human resources, including the control of population numbers. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the use of modern contraceptives in urban areas among poor women in Indonesia. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in rural areas in Indonesia. Total of 3,249 women aged 15-49 years who were poor and live in urban areas in Indonesia were enrolled in this study. The dependent variable was the use of modern contraceptives. The independent variables were husband’s work status, desire to have children, age, number of children living with, health insurance, women education, and internet use. Data were collected from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). Data were analyzed using a multiple logistic regression. Results: The use of modern contraceptives among poor urban women in Indonesia reached 59.8%. Women living with actively working husband (OR = 2.64; 95% CI = 1.43 to 4.88; p<0.001), desire to have children (OR = 2.24; 95% CI = 1.87 to 2.67; p<0.001), aged 20-34 years (OR = 1.68; 95% CI = 1.07 to 2.65; p<0.001), the number of children living 3 or more (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.03 to 1.47; p<0.001), and having health insurance (OR = 1.19; 95% CI = 1.03 to 1.39; p<0.001) were more likely to use modern contraceptive methods. Meanwhile, women who are highly educated and women who actively use the internet were more likely to not use modern contraceptives. Conclusion: The dominant factor affecting is the husband’s work status and the desire to have children. Health insurance owned by poor women greatly influences the use of modern contraceptives. It is recommended to improve communication, information and education (IEC), counseling, and access to contraceptive services to continue to be carried out in urban poor areas in Indonesia.

Abstract:
Students involved with the medical school are perceived as stressed because of the difficulties in the field. The study was conducted to determine the relationship between personality traits and stress level as the basis for developing counseling intervention for the students. This study utilized the descriptive correlational method. The study involved 1,003 senior high school students, with ages ranging from 15-20 years old. For the findings, the majority of the students are 16-17 years old. Females outnumbered male students. The average monthly family income was ₱50,001 to ₱100,000. Most students were living with two biological parents and one sibling. Senior high school students’ dominant personality types are extraversion and agreeableness. Also, the result revealed that the leading stressors centered on academic workload, anxiety, high expectation of parents and environmental concerns. In general, there was no significant relationship between personality traits and stress level. However, it was found that there is a significant positive correlation between the personality trait of neuroticism and the stress level of the students. Moreover, there is a significant negative correlation between the personality traits of extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness and stress level. Meanwhile, there is no significant and negative relationship between the personality trait of agreeableness and stress level.

Erulkar, Annabel, and Barbara Mensch. Youth centres in Kenya: Evaluation of the Family Planning Association of Kenya programme. Population Council, 1997. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1997.1025.

Full text
Abstract:
Since 1987, the Family Planning Association of Kenya (FPAK) has operated two youth centers, one in Nairobi and the other in Mombasa. The centers target unmarried youth aged 10–24 and their primary objective is reduction in incidence of sexual and reproductive-health-related problems. These centers offer recreational and sports facilities, counseling services, including reproductive health (RH) information, limited RH services, and referrals. In 1996, FPAK undertook a systematic evaluation of its youth-center program including a situation analysis of the centers, a survey in their catchment areas, and an analysis of program costs. The main strength of the program was found to be its network of youth promoters and coordinators, who reached large numbers of youth through educational activities. A negative attitude toward adolescent sexual activity was found to be pervasive among youth center staff, however if retrained they could be an inexpensive and effective means of delivering nonprescriptive contraceptives. Investing in staff would reduce high rates of attrition among volunteers and cost of recruitment and training. As noted in this report, there is need for improvement in the youth centers, however FPAK has shown considerable commitment to meeting RH needs of adolescents in Kenya.

Ndhlovu, Lewis. Quality of care and utilisation of MCH and FP services at Kenyan health facilities. Population Council, 1999. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1999.1017.

Full text
Abstract:
Quality of services is playing an increasingly important role in many family planning (FP) programs. In 1995, a national Situation Analysis Study of 254 health facilities was conducted in Kenya to assess the status and quality of FP services in the country. An in-depth survey of a subsample of 28 health facilities was conducted the following year. From these facilities, 1,834 women were interviewed about their experiences with services at facilities when they sought antenatal, child health, and FP services. The goal of the survey was to examine the links between quality of care in FP services and contraceptive behavior. A key focus was directed at information and counseling as elements of service quality. Further, the subject of quality was explored in the context of how women switched facilities for the same and different services of antenatal care, child health, and FP. As noted in this report, this study highlights the gap that exists in the provision of quality reproductive health services. Despite the call for client-centered services, there is evidence that a wide gap still remains in providing relevant information to clients.

Peru: Tell clients how to use their chosen method. Population Council, 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2000.1025.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1998, the Peruvian Ministry of Health (MOH) issued quality of care norms to ensure that family planning providers respond to clients’ reproductive health care needs and goals. In mid-1999, the Population Council collaborated with the MOH on a study to determine whether length of counseling sessions affects amount of information provided. The study focused on 19 health centers in 10 urban areas. Six simulated clients (women posing as clients) made a total of 114 visits to the health centers during June–July 1999. Each client was trained to say that she wanted to switch from the rhythm method to a more effective method. After counseling, she chose the injectable Depo-Provera but stated that she wished to consult her husband before beginning use. To assess the quality of counseling, simulated clients completed a checklist after each visit, indicating what information had been given. This brief concludes that family planning providers in Peru need to focus more closely on giving clients relevant information on their chosen method and asking key questions to make the most effective use of the time available for client counseling.

Examining and strengthening the role of patent and proprietary medicine vendors in the provision of injectable contraception in Nigeria. Population Council, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/sbsr2018.1011.

Full text
Abstract:
Results from an implementation research study in Nigeria found that with training, Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors (PPMVs), regardless of their previous health care experience, could competently administer injectable contraceptives and that clients reported receiving quality services from trained PPMVs. From 2015 to 2018, the Evidence Project conducted a study to better understand the role of PPMVs in offering voluntary injectable services (e.g., selling, counseling, referring to health centers, and administering). The study was conducted in response to Nigeria's family planning context and the role of PPMVs in the informal health sector. | In Nigeria, the bulk of contraceptive services are provided by private sources, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and PPMVs. Of the contraceptives used, injectable contraception is the most popular, accounting for approximately 40 percent of modern contraceptive use in the country. Among both public and private sources for family planning, PPMVs are the most popular for voluntary contraceptive services. According to Nigeria's 2013 National Demographic Health Survey, 38 percent of all contraceptive users and 13 percent of injectable users received their method from a PPMV. | The knowledge generated from this study helps inform the potential scale-up of PPMV delivery of voluntary injectable contraceptive services. The evidence provides insights on how to support and mentor PPMVs to provide quality FP counseling and provision of injectable contraceptives.

Burkina Faso and Mali: Female genital cutting harms women's health. Population Council, 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2000.1019.

Full text
Abstract:
In collaboration with the Ministries of Health (MOH) of Burkina Faso and Mali, the Population Council conducted two studies in 1998 to describe the occurrence and severity of health problems related to female genital cutting (FGC). Study participants were consenting women who received a pelvic exam during prenatal, family planning (FP), obstetric, or gynecological consultations at MOH clinics. Providers were trained to observe the types and complications of FGC. To assess their potential role as change agents, providers in Mali also received training on the health effects of FGC and client counseling. In Burkina Faso, health providers recorded information on 1,920 women at 21 health centers in the rural provinces of Bazega and Zoundweogo. In Mali’s Bamako district and Segou region, providers recorded information on 5,390 women in 14 urban and rural health centers. As noted in this brief, women in Burkina Faso and Mali who have had their genitals cut are more likely to have gynecological and obstetrical problems, including bleeding, internal scarring, vaginal narrowing, and childbirth complications. More severe cutting increases a woman’s risk of other reproductive health problems.

Rapid appraisal of IPP-VI training of ANMs in Uttar Pradesh. Population Council, 1996. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1996.1005.

Full text
Abstract:
This report provides findings of a rapid appraisal of the Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) training program in Uttar Pradesh, India. The appraisal was undertaken by the Population Council and State Innovations in Family Planning Agency (SIFPSA). As SIFPSA is in the process of planning a training program to strengthen the technical skills and competence of ANMs and update their contraceptive knowledge, it was felt that a rapid appraisal of the training program would help in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of previous training efforts. The ANM training initiatives of SIFPSA would then build upon the experiences gained from earlier training programs and the existing training needs of ANMs. The emphasis was on improving ANMs' technical and counseling skills by providing on-the-job practical training. The program was a three-week skill-based training, during which ANMs were attached to a CHC/PPC or a district hospital. This was followed by one week of training at an ANM Training Centre in IEC and counseling. The objective was to review how the training program was organized and how it helped improve the technical skills and competence of ANMs.

Senegal: Train more providers in postabortion care. Population Council, 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2000.1004.

Full text
Abstract:
Recognizing unsafe abortion as a serious health problem, the government of Senegal adopted a national health strategy in 1997 that aims to halve the number of unsafe abortions by 2001. In 1997, the Center for Training and Research in Reproductive Health (CEFOREP) and the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic (CGO) at Le Dantec University Teaching Hospital in Dakar introduced new clinical techniques to improve emergency treatment for women with complications from miscarriage or abortion. CGO and two other teaching hospitals served as pilot sites. Physicians, nurses, and midwives at the three sites received training in manual vacuum aspiration, family planning, and counseling. To measure the impact of the training, CEFOREP interviewed 320 women receiving emergency treatment and 204 providers before the intervention, and 543 patients and 175 providers after. This brief states that improving postabortion care services can result in shorter hospital stays, decreased patient costs, better communication between providers and patients, increased acceptance of contraceptive use by women treated for abortion or miscarriage, and that local anesthesia is needed for pain control.

Lactational amenhorrhoea method for birth spacing in Uttar Pradesh, India: Supporting technical data. Population Council, 1996. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1996.1014.

Full text
Abstract:
Following the International Population and Development Conference in Cairo, there has been widespread consensus in the international community that family planning (FP) programs must be people-centered and focus not just on contraception, but on the reproductive health (RH) of men and women throughout their lives. This policy brief reviews the research and policy implications of promoting the Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) as a component of FP counseling in India. The Government of India and the Population Council are using a pregnancy-based approach in Uttar Pradesh to improve the delivery of FP services through the rural primary health care system. Introducing pregnant women and their families to LAM offers a number of health benefits for mother and child. It promotes breastfeeding, which benefits the mother by reducing risk of postpartum hemorrhage and lowering risk of breast and ovarian cancers. The benefits to the fully breastfed infant include protection from hypothermia, neonatal hypoglycemia, and infections, in addition to nutritional advantages. Breastfeeding reduces postpartum fertility, thus delaying the need to use other contraceptive methods. LAM introduces couples to the concept of nonpermanent contraception and child spacing in a culturally acceptable way.
