Full textWomen and men’s preferences for delivery services in rural Ethiopia Nancy Beam Aims: This study aims to determine the combination of facility-based delivery care attributes preferred by women and men; if gender differences exist in attribute preferences; and key demographic factors associated with attribute preferences.
Background: Despite programs to promote facility-based delivery, which has been shown to decrease maternal and neonatal mortality, 80% of women in rural Ethiopia deliver at home without a skilled birth attendant.
A review of the Ethiopian literature on factors associated with delivery location revealed several weaknesses in research methods that need to be addressed. First, research participants were almost exclusively women, although male partners often make decisions about delivery location. Second, most quantitative study designs are similar in content to the Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey, limiting the generation of new knowledge. Third, cultural practices identified in qualitative studies as barriers to facility-based delivery have not been included in quantitative studies. This study addressed these weaknesses by using discrete choice experiment methodology to elicit preferences for delivery service attributes, including support persons in the delivery room, staff training and attitude, cost, distance and transportation availability.
Methods: A cross-sectional, discrete choice experiment was conducted in 109 randomly selected households in rural Ethiopia in September-October 2015. Women, who were pregnant or who had a child < 2 years old, and their male partners were interviewed. After completing a demographic questionnaire, male and female respondents were asked separately to choose between facility-based scenarios that reflected various attributes for delivering their next baby. Data were analyzed using a multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression model.
Results: Both women and men preferred health facilities where medications and supplies were available, a support person was allowed in the delivery room, cost was low, and doctors performed the delivery. Women also valued free ambulance service, while men favored nearby facilities with friendly providers. Men are disproportionately involved in making household decisions, including decisions about whether their wives seek health care. Yet, men are often unaware of their partners’ prenatal care attendance.
Implications: The Ethiopian government and health facilities could increase facility births in rural areas by responding to families’ delivery service preferences.

Full textThe study findings were thematically grouped into three themes including the coordination and partnerships, culture and implementation challenges. Poor coordination and failure of systems in place appeared to characterise the many challenges. Gender inequalities and masculine dominated cultural practices like polygamy and widow inheritance are associated with consequences of ill health among women; including high HIV/AIDS prevalence, early marriage, high teenage pregnancies and high maternal mortality. Although these practices are in favor of men, they hardly protect them from the wrath of poor RH like STDS, HIV/AIDS, stressful big families and vast poverty. Hence, Tanzanian men are also victims of their own behavior.

Resumo: Este estudo nasceu a partir da percepção do grande espaço que, atualmente, as mídias dedicam ao tema da saúde e de como, muitas vezes, a beleza parece ser um pré-requisito para que qualquer indivíduo seja reconhecido como saudável. Visto que, em grande parte, a imagem de um corpo saudável disseminada pelos meios de comunicação é constituída por corpos belos, objetiva-se, a partir desse quadro, investigar como o discurso da saúde utilizado pela edição brasileira da revista Men's Health é construído, pois, em um primeiro momento, parece-nos que seu objetivo é o de retratar temas relacionados e pertencentes ao gênero do discurso da beleza masculina, como é possível verificar pelo conteúdo anunciado em suas capas. Para isto, primeiramente, estudamos o conceito de saúde, tomando por base a ideia de que um corpo saudável é um corpo sem doenças e, em seguida, a partir de Charaudeau, buscamos compreender como a mídia constrói seu discurso. Só então, utilizando o conceito de gênero do discurso de Bakhtin, foram analisados os discursos com os quais a revista trabalha, dando ênfase aos que estão presentes em suas capas. Concluímos que os discursos da Men's Health fazem parte do gênero do discurso da saúde. Entretanto, a revista faz uso de um imaginário de saúde no qual a beleza é um elemento indispensável deste discurso. Isto é, há uma simbiose entre os discursos da saúde e da beleza. Porém, neste caso, a beleza é um valor simbólico voltado para a sedução e erotização do corpo saudável .... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: This study was born from the perception of a large space that currently the media dedicate to the topic of health and how often beauty seems to be a prerequisite for any individual to be recognized as healthy. This is due to, in large part, the image of a healthy body disseminated by the media consisting of beautiful bodies. Within this framework, the aim of this study was to investigate whether, as indicated by its name, the Brazilian edition of Men's Health magazine belongs to the branch of publications pertaining to the health discourse genre. Conversely, at first, it might seem its goal was to portray issues belonging to the male beauty discourse genre, as can be verified by the content on their covers. For this analysis, we first studied the concept of health, based on the idea that a healthy body is a body without disease. Secondly, from Charaudeau's framework, we seek to understand how the media construct its discourse. Only then, using the concept of Bakhtin's discourse genre, the discourses of the magazine were analyzed, with an emphasis on those present in its covers. We conclude that Men's Health's discourses are part of the health genre. Nevertheless, the magazine makes use of a health imaginary in which beauty is an essential element of this discourse. That is, there is a symbiosis between the discourses of health and beauty. However, in this case, beauty is a symbolic value related to the seduction and erotization of the healthy body. Therefore, the image has a great importance to this imaginary and a relevant participation in the discourse conveyed by this publication. The analysis also showed that this imaginary is not accessible to everyone. Consequently, it meets a market logic in which health is the result of a lifestyle permeated by product and behavior consumption which give the magazine's target audience not only the image of healthy people ...

Full textParticipatory Action Research (PAR) was utilized as the primary research methodology in conducting a program evaluation and development of a mythopoetic men’s retreat. Over the course of a two-year exploratory process, a variety of qualitative and quantitative measures were used to plan, conduct, and respond to research studying Victories of the Heart’s Breakthrough Weekend retreats. This research sought to understand the weekend’s effect on the levels of gender role conflict, perceived social support and psychological wellbeing in men who attended the retreat. Changes in these variables were measured using the Gender Role Conflict Scale – Short Form, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Flourishing Scale through use of an independent measures pretest posttest design. Qualitative interviews were conducted in order to better understand the research and programmatic needs of Victories of the Heart as an organization, the lived experiences of the men who attended these retreats as well as future directions for research and program development. Although no statistically significant changes were found in the quantitative data, the Breakthrough Weekend participants described their retreat experiences as “life changing” during qualitative interviews.

Full textViolence against women is a universal problem and is widely recognised as a fundamental barrier to women's health and gender equality. Working with men to change their behaviour is increasingly acknowledged as a critical part of the solution to the problem. Data on risk factors that explain men's use of violence have been limited. Such data is required before interventions can be developed. The aims of this study was to describe the prevalence of different types of violence men use against their partners, as well as the risk factors for men's use of such violence. The study was based among men working at three municipalities in Cape Town. A random sample of 1800 names was chosen, from among which 1414 interviews were held. Prevalence estimates and risk factor analyses for use of violence against an intimate partner were done.

Full textBackground: The most recent report of Global Burden of Cancer (GLOBOCAN) indicated the incidence rate of prostate cancer in Haiti as 38.6 and the mortality rate as 32.3 per 100,000. The literature supports a high correlation between early prostate cancer screening and low mortality rate from the disease. Yet, the participation of Haitian men in prostate cancer screening remains low (Kleier, 2010). The literature has a lack of research on this matter, which presented the gap to be examined.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine which of these selected constructs of the Health Belief Model (perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers) are predictors to the intention of Haitian men regarding prostate cancer screening. Other modifying variables were also considered as predictors to the outcome variable.
Theoretical Framework: The Health Belief Model (HBM) was utilized as the primary guide for the study; the Purnell Model for Cultural Competence served a complementary lens to account for any cultural gap studying this population.
Method: A correlational, predictive cross-section design was used to obtain a convenience sample in Haiti (N = 200). The Champion HBM scale was adapted and modified for prostate cancer; it was administered in Haitian Creole and French. Data were analyzed through descriptive, correlation, logistic regression, and the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis (H) analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine predictive correlation among the variables.
Results: Seven hypotheses were tested; all but one was supported. Perceived benefits were found to have a predictive relationship to Haitian men’s intent to screen for prostate cancer [χ2 (3) = 14.47, p = .00]. Further, the nonsignificant Hosmer and Lemeshow statistic, χ2 (8) = 4.33, p = .83 supports that the data was a good fit for the model. No other variable was found to be significant.
Conclusion: The findings from this study can be utilized by nurses and other healthcare professionals to generate and implement culturally appropriate interventions; consequently, these interventions will decrease the morbidity and mortality rates of prostate cancer among Haitian men in Haiti and abroad.

Full textMen in sub-Saharan Africa are less likely than women to use HIV services and, thus, are more likely to die from AIDS. While much of the literature argues that men’s views of masculinity keep them from services, I use the theory of gendered organizations to provide another perspective. In this dissertation, I use a mixed methods approach to examine the gendered organization of facility-based HIV testing services in southern Malawi and how the organization of services creates additional barriers to men’s use of care.
I combine four types of data: (1) survey data with facility clients to assess if quality of care differs by sex of client; (2) in-depth interviews with healthcare providers and policy makers to examine perceptions of men as clients; (3) participant observation in health facilities to understand how institutional protocols are enacted at the local level; and (4) international and national policy documents to situate local health institutions within broader global constructs of gender and HIV priorities.
I find that heterosexual men have become an invisible category within both international and national HIV policy. When they are included, they are described as the problem, not part of the solution to HIV epidemics. On the ground, the organization of HIV testing services has followed suit.
Health institutions, like other organizations, are not gender-neutral. Men in southern Malawi were not recruited for health services, were less likely than women to receive health education when they did attend a facility, and were less likely to have access to HIV testing because services were, at times, only offered during hours for antenatal services. Furthermore, HIV testing was often located near antenatal services, again contributing to the perception that testing was designed for women – because it was. Based on these findings, I argue that HIV testing is gendered across three levels of the health institution: (1) the organizational HIV policies; (2) the physical environment in which testing occurs; and (3) interactions within facilities that require clients to enact qualities typically viewed as feminine in order to successfully receive care (e.g., waiting long hours, being compliant, and being a caregiver).
