Abstract:
Background: Globally cervical cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in women and in some low-income countries is the most common cancer in women. Papua New Guinea has a particularly concerning incidence of cervical cancer where it ranks first as the leading cause of cancer in females. Screening is a reliable strategy to detect cervical cancer but implementation of screening in Papua New Guinea is poor. The aim of this review is to identify the enablers and barriers for cervical cancer screening in Papua New Guinea. Methods: A systematic search of peer-reviewed literature was conducted using electronic databases; PubMed, Medline, Scopus, CINAHL and Google Scholar. Articles published between 2007 and 2017 that focused on the enablers and barriers to cervical cancer screening were included. Only one study from Papua New Guinea was identified so the search was extended to include other Pacific Island Countries and Low-Income Countries more broadly. Findings: Twenty articles met the inclusion criteria. The main barriers for cervical cancer screening included a lack of women’s knowledge about cervical cancer and screening, a lack of health facilities for screening, diagnosis and treatment, lack of health care worker knowledge and training, cultural beliefs and financial burdens. The main enablers included women having access to education programs, availability of cervical cancer screening services, female friendly environments and health care workers being trained to undertake screening. Conclusions: While the literature highlighted the importance of cervical cancer screening, a range of barriers limits the delivery of this service in low-income country settings. In particular, there is a gap in the knowledge of barriers and enablers within Papua New Guinea and further research in this country is required. Applying the knowledge learned from other low-income countries and gaining a clearer understanding of both the barriers and enablers for cervical cancer screening in the Papua New Guinea context may lead to clear recommendations to improve implementation and uptake of cervical cancer screening.

Abstract:
Background: Appropriate antenatal education services that increase men’s involvement in pregnancy and childbirth is crucial for improving maternal and child health outcomes. However, in Papua New Guinea (PNG), men’s involvement in antenatal education services remains inadequate. This study aimed to describe experiences of men’s involvement in antenatal education services and identify factors that facilitate or restrict their involvement. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted among 17 men who have attended antenatal care (ANC) and involved in antenatal education sessions with their wives. Semi-structured and face-to-face interviews were employed to obtain detailed descriptions of men’s experiences and their perception of antenatal health education services, including factors that influenced their involvement. Data is generated from interviews. The findings are informed by the thematic analysis. Results: Three key themes that emerged were: (1) perception of ANC as women’s domain, (2) knowledge of antenatal education services, and (3) accessing of antenatal education services. Factors influencing men’s involvement were: strict gender roles, being responsible for pregnancy and spousal communication. Lack of knowledge, dissatisfaction with antenatal services, and lack of capacity to involve men were other reasons further observed. Conclusion: This study found negative perceptions; poor maternal knowledge and socio-cultural norms, inadequate information dissemination and poor men-friendly services influenced men’s involvement. Suggestions to strengthen men’s involvement require gender-inclusive and culturally appropriate antenatal education programs.

Abstract:
Accessible and affordable eye care is only a dream for much of the population of developing countries. Strategies for improving the visual welfare of these people need to be appropriate to the local situation. In 1992 a proposal was devised to address the lack of eye care in Papua New Guinea. This thesis examines the outcome of this proposal and reports on the ophthalmic data collected by these trained eye nurses.Method: In 1994, 11 National nurses were trained in a 3 month intensive course to become ‘eye nurses’. A basic set of equipment was provided to each eye nurse. Appropriate follow-up and annual conferences supported this initial training. A second group of 14 eye nurses were trained in 1997. Monthly eye clinic reports from the eye nurses provide significant data on eye conditions and visual welfare in PNGResults: After 6 years 80% of the eye nurses were still actively working in eye care. An analysis was made of the eye conditions of the 30,000 patients examined by the eye nurses over this 6 year period. The data is generally consistent with previous ophthalmic data from Papua New Guinea. The eye nurses were able to provide appropriate eye care for 80% of the presenting patients without Optometric or Ophthalmic assistance.Conclusions: Training nurses to become ‘eye nurses’ functioning as basic optometrists is an effective strategy in improving eye care in developing countries. The eye nurses were able to deliver sustainable, accessible, affordable and appropriate eye care, independently treating and managing the most common eye conditions in Papua New Guinea.

Abstract:
International perspectives of women’s health have drawn on biomedical solutions and pathology-based aspects, and one of the main components of a changing and evolving definition of women’s health is to provide an alternative to these perspectives that are grounded in the western framework. There has been a tendency by researchers and health professionals to utilise approaches that prioritize only one dimension of woman’s lives such as their biological, reproductive or maternal roles to the detriment of understanding the complexity of women’s histories, cultural contexts and lived experiences. The overall goal of this study was to investigate women’s health within the socio-historical context of Papua New Guinea (PNG) to firstly, understand the self-identified heath concerns of women, secondly to examine the critical points in the lifespan for effecting positive change in the health status of women and finally, to ascertain if the divergence between the perceptions of service providers and the real needs of women can be reduced.The study was set in Patigo (Wosera sub-district), in the East Sepik Province, a rural area and one of the least developed areas of Papua New Guinea. There is a heavy reliance on subsistence production for household consumption, high infant and maternal mortality and morbidity rates, limited cash earning opportunities and low per capita incomes in the district. Women conduct most of the daily subsistence and domestic duties. Women’s health and social development statistics are poor in the Wosera and it is easy to see solutions as either medical or matters of health education. However the health status of women reflects the complex and changing social and structural conditions of women’s lives and in particular, the gender-based inequalities that women face are fundamental variables affecting health.This study was conceptualised using an interpretive qualitative methodology within an ethnographic and rights-based framework, based on the real experiences of women’s daily lives. The study was conducted during a four month study period from July to October 2005 and in February 2006. The investigation strategy utilised a within-method triangulation approach, using a combination of qualitative and participatory methods. To enable an understanding of the diverse health needs of women and the key determinants of health across the lifespan, the socio-cultural and gender perspectives of young, adult, older women were examined. Discussions were also held with young and adult men and key community members considered to have specific knowledge of women’s health issues.Women’s narratives show that reproductive health problems did not figure prominently among the health issues women described. Health was related to the social and material circumstances of women’s lives. It was discussed as a social and cultural experience, not an isolated and individual condition and all women prioritized people and relationships. Women were part of a nexus of complex social relationships that were socially and historically layered with links to many generations. The types of relationships women experienced were influenced by personality, faith and socio-cultural values.The relationship between women’s health and the social conditions of their lives is given token recognition in health policy and women’s health programming in Papua New Guinea. Women face a health system that pre-imposes a narrow definition of women’s health to the detriment of gender issues and women’s empowerment. The findings reveal that in the Wosera women’s work and the physical burden of women’s roles, marriage and risk and experience of violence, and an unresponsive and inappropriate health service were major risk factors and barriers to women’s health. Based on this finding a holistic and rights based approach to women’s health policy, programming and advocacy is proposed. It is argued that the daily inequalities, discrimination and oppression that women face in their everyday lives, affects their ability to achieve the right to health and a host of interrelated rights such as the right to education, right to food and nutrition and freedom from discrimination.The study also emphasized the relevance of psychosocial constraints for women’s health. Psychosocial factors, linked to material circumstances and individual behaviour, exerted a powerful influence over health and affected a woman’s ability to cope with difficult life circumstances. Feelings of powerlessness, helplessness and stress-related disorders among women were related to the gender inequalities that worked to perpetuate the low status of women throughout the life span. Women who could not count on male support (husbands, male relatives, sons) and were the target of constant abuse and neglect were identified to be particularly vulnerable and at a risk of depression and stress.The study also documented that women throughout the life cycle displayed inherent resilience and adopted different coping strategies for dealing with the demanding and complex circumstances of their lives but some women were better positioned than others to cope. The active coping mechanisms of women showed a strength, assertiveness and resourcefulness in response to constant hardship. Resilience was enhanced when women had access to social networks and supportive social relationships and were therefore better able to deal with constraints to health. A particular threat to coping was found to result from a woman’s experience with gender constraints, violence and lack of social support.The findings from this study contribute to a rethinking of the traditional biomedical approach to women’s health research. The study challenges the worldview that prioritizes reproductive health over an approach to women’s health that concerns the totality of women’s lived experiences throughout the life span. This study calls for the need to increase the focus of research on the application of psychosocial and rights-based perspectives to understand the diversity of women’s health-related experiences, the complexity of their social relations and the relationship between challenging social and material circumstances and health outcomes. Recommendation and implications for further research, education, policy, advocacy and programming action, are proposed and discussed.

Abstract:
Among the Baliem valley Dani of the central highlands of Irian Jaya, Indonesia, infants play a prominent role in social relations. Infant mortality rates among the Dani are above two hundred and fifty deaths per thousand live births and birth rates are low. To these patterns of infant survival and growth the Dani consistently ascribe complex meaning. Drawing from anthropological research conducted in 1994--1995 in the Baliem valley, this dissertation demonstrates that indigenous meanings about the infant body and assessments of infant health link the infant to political relations within polygynous families, to antagonistic gender relations, and to affiliations with powerful ancestor spirits. Gender relations play a prominent role in explanations about infants. When an infant dies, parents explain the death in ways that reflect the lower social status of women in relation to men. A study of sex ratios during the first year of life and biased use of health services by gender of the infant suggest that the Dani may generate and validate cultural patterns of gender inequality during the earliest months of life.
Infants also play an important role in national politics. In Indonesia's attempts to assimilate indigenous peoples into the country's economic development agenda, the infant appears in health promotions as a member of a contrived ideal family. These national cultural models, grounded in a concern with population control, translate into an applied health agenda for infants that has little impact on the mortality rates of the very young in Dani society.
The infant, though mute, is a powerful figure at the center of many social and political relations. The richness of meaning attributed to infants in the Baliem valley suggests that further research is needed to correct lacunae in anthropological theory about one of life's key social figures.

Abstract:
This study aims to uncover the determinants influencing health outcomes and investigates health service delivery in Papua New Guinea (PNG) within the context of women and their health. Despite extensive research on health and health service delivery in PNG over the past three decades, little or no improvement has been made to attain better health outcomes. Various factors which were found to contribute to PNG’s poor health outcomes, include poor financial management and resource allocation, complex institutional structures and challenges following government’s reform policies, lack of capacity, rugged geographical conditions and lack of essential infrastructure. These are mainly provider side factors with experiences of health service users largely understudied. My research adopts qualitative data collection methods, including focus groups discussions, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, observations, body-mapping exercises and illness narratives to understand women and their health service usage, and health workers providing health care. Fieldwork was conducted in three geographically, linguistically, culturally and religiously diverse locations in PNG. Over 100 people participated, including health workers and women. The subsequent data was analysed and showed that women were prevented from using health services by factors existing on user and provider side, such as financial constraints, unfriendly health workers, and long waiting time at health facilities. Their personal values encouraged them to seek health care, such as consideration of familial responsibilities and trust in health workers. Although determinants were similar across the three locations, the degree of influence of the determinants varied in the context of the geographical and socio-economic environments. Medical pluralism exists in PNG with a large number of women using natural therapies and home remedies in rural and urban areas. Informal agencies were influential sources of their health knowledge. Health was narrowly confined to biomedicine and efforts to improve health outcomes handled solely by the health sector. However, health outcomes are not the result of use of biomedical health services alone but result of economic policies, political systems, educational programmes, social and cultural beliefs and practices regarding wellbeing. Thus, health outcomes need not be confined to biomedical disciplines but be a multidisciplinary and multisectoral responsibility, involving formal and informal institutions impacting all determinants and dimensions of people’s health. Intersectoral collaboration between relevant disciplines, sectors and agencies at various levels are suggested in recognition of this. Many factors discussed in this study are likely to be amenable to interventions that are beyond the scope of the health domain. The PNG Department of Health has relatively little influence over many issues affecting individuals providing and using health services. While medical standards and training health workers may be within its scope, improving rural roads to increase access to health services often require assistance from other sectors. Multidisciplinary and multisectoral approaches are needed to address all determinants of health and improve health outcomes. Preventive primary health care through community-based approaches should be the focus. Appropriate methods that adequately capture human phenomena be used in health research. Any service delivery and development studies should include providers and users of services.

Abstract:
Research into the use of information by health care professionals has generally been conducted in countries dominated by the biomedical model. In these contexts, illness is considered to have a scientifically identifiable physical cause, and treatment practices within the formal health care sector are prescribed and managed in accordance with this definition. Yet there are also contexts where other belief systems inform and guide the way that people think about their health. In comparison to the biomedical model, these contexts have contributed very little to our understanding of how health professionals develop their knowledge. This research investigates how primary health care workers (PHCWs) in one such context, Papua New Guinea (PNG), develop their knowledge about the health services they provide. In order to discover and understand the differing views of these PHCWs, 69 semi-structured interviews were conducted in three culturally and geographically diverse regions of PNG. In explaining the diagnostic and treatment practices they use, these participants provided insights into not only how PHCWs engage with information but also how it informs their professional practice. These data were analysed, interpreted and discussed using a framework consisting of four, primary but interconnecting aspects: the context in which information was provided, the interactions with the sources of information, the processes by which information was understood, and the outcomes realized as a result of the information being used. Findings indicated that the majority of participants in this study acknowledged, if not incorporated, information pertaining to biomedicine, Christianity and Indigenous belief systems into their diagnostic and treatment practices. Even when these belief systems clearly contradicted each other, PHCWs did not in general feel the need to make a conscious choice between them. From their comments it would appear that four factors contributed to this ability to incorporate diverse and often conflicting ideas into the way that patients were cared for. First, all of the belief systems were considered legitimate by at least one group of people connected to the community in which the PHCW worked. Second, although varying in degrees of availability and accessibility, members of these groups were able to disseminate information pertaining to the belief system they supported. Third, the PHCW had no particular affiliation with any one of these groups but instead regularly interacted with a range of different people. Lastly, the PHCW worked in situations where health practices were not generally well supervised by their employers and therefore they were relatively free to choose between various diagnostic and treatment practices. The qualitative interpretive approach adopted in this thesis contributes to the field of human information behavior by affirming that conflict is in the eye of the beholder. When a number of belief systems coexist and all are considered legitimate, information about them is freely available, and the recipients actions are neither constrained by their own dogma, nor imposed upon by others, individuals may quite comfortably embrace diverse beliefs. These findings may also contribute to a better understanding of health management practices in developing countries by suggesting that health professionals are not merely personifications of a biomedical model. Instead, the study demonstrates that multiple belief systems can be combined by PHCWs, and that in turn this benefits the formal health care sector through increased treatment options that are both appropriate and effective in such circumstances.

Abstract:
Forty years post-independence, Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) development aspirations remain unmet. Important social and human development indicators have stagnated, as has the delivery of basic public services, especially for PNG’s large rural populace. Over the last decade, PNG has experienced strong economic growth from an extended resource boom. Much of the increased revenues generated have been invested into public expenditure reforms aimed at improving service delivery through decentralised governance arrangements. This thesis questions whether the significantly increased public expenditure commitments to service delivery have been translated into improved health services on the ground. A mixed methods approach was adopted that involved undertaking PNG’s largest and most comprehensive health expenditure tracking and facility survey, combined with in-depth case studies that mapped the implementation of national budgets to front-line service providers, and actual health delivery to communities. This thesis makes a significant contribution to research on the changing political economy of service delivery in PNG. It delivers a policy relevant and empirically grounded analysis of the state of health services and the politics that have driven decentralisation reforms. New findings are presented on the status of PNG’s health clinics, how they receive funding, raise revenue and the services that are delivered. Comparative survey data indicates that health service delivery has largely declined over the last decade, despite huge increases in recurrent and development health budgets. It is argued that the weak implementation of previous and current decentralisation reforms have contributed to widespread inefficiencies and inequalities in the delivery of health services across PNG. The implications of these findings are analysed in the context of contemporary health expenditure reforms in PNG, which are increasingly politicised and appear destined to repeat past failures. This thesis finds that PNG’s major health policies are poorly targeted, misaligned with strengthening the health system, and do not address weaknesses in health financing. In particular, PNG members of parliament have directed ever-increasing constituency development funds to their electorates and have enacted legislative reforms that deliver greater control over the allocation of resources and service delivery priorities for their respective districts. This entrenches the de facto arrangements of the past, meaning that local politics, rather than national policy guidelines, increasingly determine how expenditure reforms are implemented on the ground. These changing governance arrangements have significant implications for the health sector, risking greater fragmentation of an already weak health system. More broadly, the research shows that the political context in which decentralisation reforms are implemented has important implications for service delivery.

Abstract:
Women across the world migrate for a wide range of reasons. Some gravitate to towns and cities in their own countries seeking safety, education, health care, and employment opportunities. Others cross international boundaries, fleeing from the atrocities of war and extreme poverty. Migration within countries is also on the rise, as people move seeking resources, services, education, and employment opportunities. In addition, they may want to escape from violence or natural disasters. This movement of people from rural to urban areas has resulted in an explosive growth of cities around the globe. Women migrate to enhance their life experiences and that of their children and kinsfolk. This chapter draws on a research case study undertaken with the Kewapi language group in Port Moresby and the Batri Villages of the Southern Highlands in Papua New Guinea. It highlights the perspectives of women migrating from their home communities in order to seek education and health care. It explores the implications for developing user-focused health care systems designed to meet the needs of mobile and vulnerable women. The study suggests that if women and their families from remote rural communities participate in health promoting initiatives, they can dramatically improve their life and health experiences and that of their community.

Abstract:
The region of Oceania describes a collection of islands scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean between Asia and the Americas. The region is vast and largely covered by ocean. There are four subregions of this region including Australasia (Australia and New Zealand), Melanesia (Papua and New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia), Micronesia (Federated States of Micronesia and Guam), and Polynesia (includes French Polynesia, Samoa, Tonga, Tokalau, and Niue). Australasia is relatively affluent and developed with an ageing population, whereas the other nations are of a developing nature with relatively younger populations but will face dramatic population ageing over the next 40 years. Australasia has well-developed services for older people. The Indigenous populations of Australasia have worse health outcomes than the non-Indigenous populations. However, outside Australasia there is an urgent need to develop health and community services for older people in the remainder of the region.
