Stiegler, Nancy. "Contraception and unmet-needs in Africa." Thesis, University of the Western Cape, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/11394/2669.
Full textThe first objective of this study is to show if diffusion of contraception in areas of traditional high fertility has gone through profound changes. Indeed, we would like to know if contraceptive behaviours have evolved because of new fertility perceptions and also because partners now have greater freedom to make choices in a relationship. The second objective of this study is not only to highlight the levels and trends of contraception and the factors influencing their use (government policies, role of family planning, etc.) in developing countries, but also to consider the population of unmet-needs of contraception. Indeed, the level of contraceptive use depends obviously on users, but also on non-users with no needs and non-users with unsatisfied needs. The understanding of this last category of females is essential to a more accurate estimation of contraception levels, and, therefore for the estimation of fertility levels. This study analyses the contraceptive use in several developing countries in Africa and highlights the unsatisfied needs of contraception, to understand why such needs exist. To do so, we shall analyse available demographic data for thirty-five African countries by using the available Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), from the 1980's to 2000's considering the DHS I, DHS II, DHS III and DHS IV. This great variety of surveys, seventy-nine in total, permits one to compare levels of contraception and 'unmet-needs' from country to country. The surveys also, make it possible to compare the evolution over time of specific countries or specific regions, and to subsequently comprehend the determining factors of contraceptive use or non-use.

Full textÀ mesure qu'ils vieillissent, les gens ont de plus en plus tendance à développer des problèmes de santé susceptibles de causer une dégradation de leurs capacités à effectuer des activités essentielles de la vie quotidienne (Activities of Daily Living). Cette diminution des capacités fonctionnelles peut entraîner une augmentation des besoins d'aide physique, qui à leur tour, ne peuvent toujours être comblés pour autant. Peu de recherches ont été menées sur les besoins non comblés des personnes âgées et leur relation avec la détresse psychologique. La recherche s'est appuyée sur les données de l'étude prospective de cohorte Montreal Unmet Needs Study à laquelle ont participé 576 femmes et 263 hommes et dont l'objectif consistait à étudier les besoins non comblés auto-déclarés en matière de services communautaires chez les personnes âgées de 75 ans et plus à Montréal. Les renseignements relatifs à la détresse psychologique et aux besoins non comblés ont été obtenus par auto-évaluation pendant les entrevues personnelles initiales au temps zéro et celles qui ont eu lieu douze mois plus tard. Les renseignements obtenus pendant les entrevues ont été complétés par de l'information provenant des bases de données gouvernementales de la RAMQ et MEDECHO. Les chercheurs ont utilisé les modèles de régression linéaire multivariable et de régression logistique pour étudier les corrélations entre les besoins non comblés et la détresse psychologique et pour déterminer l'effet conjoint de ces deux facteurs sur les visites au service des urgences pendant les six mois suivant les entrevues au temps zéro.

Full textIn the setting of a population based cohort study of community-dwelling seniors 75 years of age or older, we examined the effect of unmet needs for community services for activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) on health services utilization. Self-perceived unmet need status was determined using a baseline in-home interview. A total of 839 subjects were recruited from the Greater Montreal Region, Quebec, Canada, using random telephone number dialling.
Health services utilization data were obtained from administrative databases from the Quebec Health Insurance Board (Regie de l'Assurance-Maladie du Quebec - RAMQ). Multivariable negative binomial regression models were used to examine the association between unmet need status and health services utilization during the six month period following the baseline interview.
The results of this study indicate that unmet needs are associated with higher rates of emergency department visits, hospitalization and prescription drug use. No statistically significant association was found between unmet needs and physician utilization among single seniors, although married seniors with unmet needs in activities of daily living had 2.8 times the rate of medical specialist visits as compared to those who reported no unmet ADL needs.
Unmet need for community services among the elderly has implications for the use of more expensive acute and long-term health care services. The results of this research suggest that developing programs to address unmet needs in the elderly population can potentially reduce health services utilization by the elderly.

As the diffusion of the Internet reaches the early majority phase, customers, both retail consumers and businesses, are utilizing the Internet in ever increasing numbers for the information search and decision making portions of the sales process. Consumers are online actively searching, researching, selecting, and purchasing products. The most direct output of this process is the end product selection, but many opportunities present themselves for the improvement of market research and corporate product development through the utilization and analysis of the online purchase process. This opportunity is especially applicable to a purchase process in which the customer is not just searching for products by selecting hard constraints around product attributes, but is instead engaged in an online dialogue with a trusted virtual advisor. During this dialogue, the customer reveals their product needs and preferences and the trusted advisor recommends products based upon a maximization of customer utility. If a "perfect" product is available for each customer, then the maximum utility value across all available products will be constantly rising during the online dialogue and all customer needs will be met. Given the reality of product development limitations, ever-changing customer needs, and the introduction of new products and features, consumers are routinely left with unmet needs. This thesis focuses on the development and implementation of a virtual engineer who, after the customer has explicitly given permission, listens to the dialogue between the customer and the trusted virtual advisor. When an unmet customer need is identified through a drop in the maximum calculated utility, the virtual engineer joins the online dialogue. Through the automated generation of contextual questions around the unmet need, the engineer gathers detailed information about the exact nature of the customer's need and translates that need into useful engineering terms. After a large number of customer needs have been collected, the Listening In! process estimates the market share opportunity currently available through the introduction of products that meet the identified needs. The Listening In! process represents a new opportunity in the utilization of the Internet for the improvement of both market research and the traditional product development process.

Full textThe study aimed at assessing and understanding the unmet needs and well-being among people living with HIV/AIDS. People living with HIVAIDS experience many challenges. Challenges may be characterized by medical, social and psychological challenges. Method: A cross sectional design was used. A total of (N = 200) young and adult age ranged from 20-71 years ( = 43.70, SD = 12.420) women (62%) and 75 men (37, 5%) living with HIV/AIDS who attend HIV/AIDS clinic/unit in Polokwane/Mankweng hospital complex was selected with purposive sample. Results: Four hypotheses were tested with one-way ANOVA. The findings indicated that social support (p < .001) and age (p < .04) plays a significant role in the psychological well-being of people living with HIV/AIDS. Medical challenges and gender revealed no significant results. Conclusion: It is concluded that PLWHA attend some form of support groups which will aid in alleviating the psychological distress associated with HIV/AIDS.

Full textHealth care evaluation serves the purpose of monitoring the quality of health care provided by Health Care Providers (HCP), so that health care services can be provided most effectively and efficiently. Patient satisfaction studies are widely used to assess the quality of outpatient care. A client satisfaction study was conducted at an HIV health care facility in Sydney, Australia during 2007-2008. There were three objectives: 1.) To validate a questionnaire for future determination of client satisfaction in HIV health care facilities. 2.) To identify the levels of satisfaction of clients, and investigate any dissatisfaction and unmet needs towards HIV health care. 3.) To provide recommendations for improving client satisfaction levels in HIV health care. This research used a mixed method approach and consisted of two phases. The first phase was a quantitative survey conducted with 166 clients (both HIV positive and negative) at Albion Street Centre (ASC) using a newly-devised questionnaire. Clients were asked to answer demographic questions, rate their levels of satisfaction with each aspect and each HCP category, and provide suggestions for improvement. Quantitative statistical analysis was conducted to obtain a general view of client satisfaction levels. Dissatisfaction and unmet needs of clients were then investigated in-depth in the second phase of the research through qualitative face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Twenty-two clients (both HIV positive and negative) at ASC were interviewed individually and asked about their attitudes, perceptions, and experiences towards their HCP and the HIV health care services received. Thematic analysis was used to categorise and interpret the qualitative data. More than 90% of the clients were satisfied with most of the aspects covered in the survey, with a mean overall satisfaction score of 84 out of 100. Clients were most iii satisfied with the “technical quality” and “interpersonal manner” of the HCP, and were least satisfied with “waiting time” and “availability of HCP”. The HCP category with which the clients has the highest level of satisfaction was “nurses” (86%), followed by “psychologists” (84%), then “doctors” (83%). Clients who were HIV negative, had a full time job, visited ASC less frequently, or did not possess any type of Health Care Card were more satisfied with the services overall. No common dissatisfaction or unmet needs towards HIV health care service were identified. “Technical quality of HCP” and “the relationship with HCP” were the two most important determinants of client satisfaction, which outweighed the inconvenience contributed by the poor availability of HCP and the location of ASC. The maintenance of “confidentiality/privacy” was shown to be fundamental in HIV health care facilities. The multi-disciplinary nature of ASC increased the degree of convenience and satisfaction level among clients. Suggestions for improvement in client satisfaction levels include increasing the attractiveness of the physical environment and the variety of educational reading materials in the waiting area; introducing beverages, and encouraging clients to be involved in their treatment decisions. Health care administrative staff in particular are reminded not to neglect the importance of the availability of HCP, accessibility, and physical environment when establishing a new HIV health care facility. The mixed method approach (quantitative survey and qualitative interviews) proved beneficial. It increased the validity of the findings by assessing client satisfaction levels using more than one method. This enabled clarification of ambiguities noted in the initial survey through probes used in the interviews, and also allowed investigation of the determinants of client satisfaction through understanding their experiences in HIV health care. Future client satisfaction studies would benefit from using this approach.
