Abstract:
Women's health and health care for women have been undergoing significant changes in Canada in recent years. In part, change has occurred as a result of health care restructuring (or health reform), brought on by reduced funding by the federal government. Whereas in 1971 (when Canadian Medicare was established), the federal government contributed 50% of the costs of all insured services, today its contribution is a mere 15% and declining. Demands for greater economic efficiencies in the health sector, coupled with concerns about the ageing of the population have also led many provincial governments to restructure health services. There has been a growing shift toward community-based health care, as well as changes to how health care in institutions is delivered. In all of this restructuring, relatively little attention has been focused on the impact of these changes on women.

Abstract:
Nepal has one of the highest maternal mortality ratios in South Asia although the situation is improving in recent days. One of the reasons for such a high mortality may be attributed to the under-utilization of modern maternal health services during pregnancy. This study has analyzed the relationship between women’s autonomy and the utilization of maternal health care services in order to explore some possible reasons for the under-utilization of the services. Data from the Nepal demographic and Health Survey, 2011 is used for the study. The analysis is based on 2374 married women aged 15-49 years who had given a live birth during three years preceding the survey. Women's household decision making power, control over use of earning and decision on using contraception have been used to explore the indicators of women's autonomy. Logistic regression is used to assess the net effect of several independent variables on two dependent variables (adequate antenatal care and institutional delivery) of maternal health care. Logistic regression analyses reveal that the utilization of both maternal health care services are related to women's autonomy as indicated by decision making power on own health care, large household purchases and control over earnings because financial sufficiency is must at that period. Women's’ decision-making power appears to be the most powerful predictors for increasing maternal health service utilization. The study results suggest that policy actions that increase women’s autonomy at home could be effective in helping assure good maternal health.

Abstract:
Background: The husband has an important role in women's health. However, the information related to their roles is limited, including from the perspectives of health professionals. The health professionals' support and behavior have influenced men's and women's health behavior. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the health professionals’ perceptions of husbands’ roles and behavior in women's health, especially in the Muslim community.Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach applied in this study. Data were collected using the interview method. Ten clinicians from rural and urban areas of West Java, Indonesia, with a range of experience engaging with Muslim husbands involved in this study. Semi-structured interviews were recorded and then transcribed by the researchers. The transcribed data were analyzed using the comparative analysis for the interview technique.Results: Four main themes were identified: (1) Contextual factors impact husbands' roles in women's health; (2) Extensive roles of Muslim husbands in women's health; (3) Husbands and others involved in decisions about women's health; and (4) Level of health literacy affects husband's actions in women's health and cancer.Conclusion: Health professionals perceived that husbands' roles in Muslim women's health are pivotal, especially in supporting health treatments in health services. Little information was obtained about husbands' support in cancer prevention and early detection. Nurses can take the lead in improving Muslim husbands' understanding of women's health and cancer and raising their awareness of cancer screening for their wives.

Abstract:
Rural women in Australia have reduced access to health and illness-management services, live in more hazardous environments, and yet describe themselves as healthier than urban women. These contradictions illustrate some of the consequences of different ways of measuring health. Data based on presentations to hospital for episodes of illness management, within a conceptual framework of biomedicine which has been developed with little input from women, presents one picture of the health of a community. Data based on asking women what is going on provides another picture. These different pictures highlight the distinction between health and illness management. This article introduces the reader to rural culture, considers some of the epidemiological evidence about the presentation of illness and mortality for rural women, summarises the outcomes of research and consultations with women, and concludes by making recommendations about effective ways to enhance rural women's health through service delivery.

Abstract:
Background: The study examined the socio-economic determinants of women access to healthcare services in Sub-Saharan Africa for the period 1995-2015. Methods: The study adopted the dynamic panel model and estimated it using the System Generalized Method of Moments in a bid to overcome the endogeneity problem inherent in the model of study. Result: The study harmonized the theoretical strands in the literature by describing the measure of access determinants as three main components; i. Health service availability, ii. Health service utilization and iii. Health service decision. Conclusion: The indicators of health service availability such as community health workers, physicians, nurses and midwives and hospital beds improve women's access to healthcare facilities in Africa. Also, health service utilization indicators such as population density worsen the quality of healthcare services available to women while electricity access and private health expenditure enhance women’s access to quality healthcare delivery. Health service decision indicators such as female bank account ownership, female labour force participation, attainment of basic education and female household headship were important in enhancing women's access to healthcare facilities. Generally, women's health outcomes were more responsive to health service utilization; implying that service utilization is an important proof of healthcare access in Africa.

Abstract:
Background: Women's Empowerment is an integral part of human rights and development because the value system leads to the development of a good family, community, and country. Empowerment of women can have important implications for health in the form of education, access, and change in terms of services and family welfare. This systematic review aims to determine the influence and model of empowerment of women in the health sector.Subjects and Method: This systematic review begins with searching data using 5 databases with keywords women’s empowerment, women’s health, and empowerment model. Researchers used five databases, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Springer Link, and BMC with a range of 2017-2022. Articles were searched using keywords that had been determined by the researcher then the articles were extracted based on criteria inclusion and exclusion using the PRISMA protocol. Thus, 11 articles were found that matched the criteria of JBI's critical assessment tool for analysis.Results: A total of 11 studies were included in the analysis originating from several countries such as Iran, Australia, and the Netherlands. Empowerment of women is a multilevel construction that refers to individuals, organizations, and society. Women's empowerment needs to involve mutual respect, critical reflection, caring and group participation, where people gain greater access to and control over their resources.Conclusion: Factors that influence women's empowerment are age, education, occupation, religion, marital status, socio-economic, demographics, different behavior, special characteristics of society, household harmony, place of residence, mobility, decision-making, social life, media exposure, information technology, socio-culture and access to health services. The women's empowerment model that has been developed refers to 3 domains: micro, meso, and social capital levels; as well as macro level.Keywords: empowerment, women, model, healthCorrespondence: Rumpiati.

Abstract:
Background: Women must be provided with necessary health services for a child's good health and future during pregnancy. Women's health has experienced a considerable epidemiological change during the past several decades. Maternal well-being and health affect not only the developed world but predominantly the developing nations. Differences in resource allocation between industrialized and developing countries ultimately led to notable differences in pregnancy complications and deaths. Aim: To investigate these barriers. A literature review was carried out to address this research topic. Methodology: Six online databases AMED, CINAHL PLUS, PUBMED, MEDLINE, COCHRANE LIBRARY and SCIENCE DIRECT were used for a preliminary search that yielded 6353 articles. No grey literature was discovered due to time restrictions. Seven publications were discovered to be eligible for inclusion in the literature review after carefully reading, analysing, and evaluating them with the help of critical appraisal techniques. After the initially searched articles were filtered using robust inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings: Data were taken from different sources like the Pakistan Demographic and Health Surveys (PDHSs), WHO, and a comparison was made with the findings from different factors. The analysis concentrates on women of Pakistan having maternal health issues and maternal health services. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) is used for the assessment and qualitative analysisof this study. Practical implications: By addressing the issues highlighted in this paper there appears to be substantial room for improvements in Pakistan’s pregnancy outcomes. This review provides a better understanding of the risk factors determining maternal mortality in Pakistan.Public awareness is important as this paper almost covered the different platforms which are working on maternal health servicesto aware the society. To promote maternal health messages and encourage pregnant women to receive maternal healthcare services, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and health organizations can adopt a variety of campaigns. Results: This study discussed the impact of different factorswhich effect on maternal health. Different factors are associated with utilizing maternal healthcare services at antenatal care and delivery stages of pregnancy in Pakistan. This review concentrated on the economic and social vulnerability of pregnant women and emphasized the importance of parallel, more all-encompassing initiatives, like poverty reduction and women's empowerment. Poor maternal health in Pakistan has many root causes, including undernourishment of young girls, early marriage, high fertility rates, and unmet contraceptive needs. Conclusion: The key factors influencing women's hesitation and refusal to use the health facilities in Pakistan include structural hurdles, maternal knowledge and education levels, and men's dominance in decision-making, according to the themes drawn from the literature.

Abstract:
We investigate whether women's political representation in state legislatures improves public provision of antenatal and childhood health services in the districts from which they are elected, arguing that the costs of poor services in this domain fall disproportionately upon women. Using large representative data samples from India and accounting for potential endogeneity of politician gender and the sample composition of births, we find that a 10 percentage point increase in women's representation results in a 2.1 percentage point reduction in neonatal mortality, and we elucidate mechanisms. Women's political representation may be an underutilized tool for addressing health in developing countries. (JEL D72, I12, I15, J16, O15, O17)

Background: Women empowerment means empowering women to make independent decisions about the basic life issues. Reproductive health services as a key component of sustainable development make couples to voluntarily and on the basis of awareness and thought make proper and responsible decisions about childbirth given their economic, physical and mental abilities. It can lead to a balance between sustainable development and population growth. The purpose of this study was to explain factors affecting women's ability to use reproductive health services. Methods: A review of studies published from 2000 to 2018 in the databases of PubMed, Google scholar, Magiran, Web of Science was conducted using the keywords of empowering women, empowerment, decision-making power, women. It led to retrieving 99 articles in Farsi and English languages, of which 72 unrelated articles and 8 low quality articles were deleted. Lastly, 19 articles on the empowerment of women to use reproductive health services were selected. Findings: It was found that there was a positive relationship between women's empowerment, and decision-making power, education level, financial independence, employment and freedom of action, the use of reproductive health services in women. Higher women's authority, independence and empowerment, the higher the use of reproductive health services in women. Conclusion: Given the effectiveness of empowering women to a better use of reproductive health services, implementing women's empowerment policies is a good strategy for promoting reproductive health in women.

Abstract:
For people with a long history of involvement in progressive politics, these are times to try the soul. The achievements of the 1970s and '80s are looking vulnerable and many have been rolled back. The gap between rich and poor is widening internationally and nationally, youth suicide, already alarming, is on the increase, indigenous rights are being eroded and indigenous health remains poor (perhaps these trends are related), unemployment persists at stubbornly high levels, and many women's services, including health services, are being de-funded, out-sourced, amalgamated or mainstreamed. Governments are becoming corporations and citizens are being asked to become customers.

Women nowadays face various problems, especially in adjusting to new jobs and obligations. One of the consequences of adversity is mental health problems. As a result, one of the methods to help women's emotional support is to provide counseling services to increase their level of well-being. Therefore, the objectives of this study include: i) identifying the components of empowerment that are applied in the implementation of counseling sessions, especially those involving mental health handled by counselors; and ii) identifying mental health issues that counselors always handle when dealing with clients involving women. This study involves a qualitative technique, which is a single-case study conducted by interview with counselors who are trained and responsible for dealing with issues related to mental health and women. Interview findings will be classified using a verbatim approach, particularly those related to women's empowerment and therapies to improve mental health among women. The results of this study found that there are five sub-themes that are known for sure to empower mental health in the implementation of counseling sessions, which involve Perspective on Human Nature, Problem Clarification, Power Relationship between Client and Counselor, Power Analysis, and Skill Development. In addition, the results of the interview also show that counselors who conduct counseling sessions with female clients are always faced with issues related to depression, stress, problems at work, abuse, and relationship problems.

Abstract:
Introduction: Women’s empowerment refers to strengthening the social, economic, and educational powers of women. Numerous global initiatives have been implemented to enable women to make decisions about their health and lives. The purpose of this literature review was to review women’s health barriers, related best practices, and their impacts on women's empowerment in the global context. Methods: We comprehensively searched databases: PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar and key program websites. To expand our review, we used a snowball strategy to scan articles, documents, reports, and research outputs of global programs and best practices to overcome barriers. Also, we screened publications posted on websites of organizations working on women’s empowerment and monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals progress. Results: Findings suggest significant advancements have been made in the status of women's health over the past two decades. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has aggravated health barriers, impeding, and even reversing progress, which has resulted in widening women’s inequity in access to health care services worldwide. Conclusions: Findings suggest that successful and sustainable programs should have a multisectoral, multilevel and multistakeholder, diversified interventions approach with social empowerment, as well as the need for legislative enforcement against discrimination and harmful practices towards women.

Abstract:
Women in Pakistan face numerous cultural challenges in accessing maternal healthcare services. The study aims to see what cultural barriers women face in seeking health care services and decision-making. The objective was to study the challenges, women's autonomy, women's health-seeking behavior, and food taboos, that limit access to women attending healthcare services. Using Exploratory methodology, in-depth interviews were held with 24 such women in Jhang Sayedan Islamabad, in May 2023. Findings suggested that although women do want to receive healthcare services, cultural barriers often make it difficult for such women to access healthcare services and food taboos are sometimes useful, but they sometimes also affect women's health negatively. Other challenges such as lack of knowledge, not having the right to decision-making, limited support, hierarchy, and taboos need to be tackled. Men are crucial in deciding a woman's medical requirements and determining whether they need medical assistance or not.

Abstract:
Background/Aims Reproductive health is an important part of a woman's general health and wellbeing. Being aware of one's sexual and reproductive health rights enables women to make informed decisions about and improve their sexual and reproductive health. This study assessed women's awareness of sexual and reproductive health rights and the use of sexual and reproductive health services in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional design was used for this study. Stratified random sampling was used to select 341 women of reproductive age in Ile-Ife. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with P<0.05 indicating significance. Results The majority (89.7%) of respondents had high awareness of sexual and reproductive health rights but reported poor use of sexual and reproductive health services (58.7%). The participants' age, marital status, occupation and distance to sexual and reproductive health facilities significantly influenced the uptake of sexual and reproductive health services. Conclusions Women in Ile-Ife were aware of their sexual and reproductive health rights but did not use sexual and reproductive health services. There is a need for health education to improve women's self-efficacy to use these services.

Abstract:
Lipoedema is an adipose tissue disorder almost exclusively affecting women. Evidence shows lipoedema is both poorly recognised and misdiagnosed which results in many women struggling to get a diagnosis and to gain access to specialist NHS services. This article aims to raise awareness of lipoedema and highlight the main role that community and primary care nurses can play in identifying this long-term condition earlier. It provides detail on the condition to help signpost, refer for diagnosis and initiate conservative management for those individuals with this challenging condition.

Abstract:
The answer to the question of whether planning for women's health is fad or future imperative is probably that it is both. A focus on achieving a desired outcome through a specified intervention is hardly new. From pre-Hellenic times to the era of goals and targets era of the early 1990s, clients have understandably kept a sharp eye on the results of health services. The focus shifted from outputs and outcomes to the resources that go into health care when large scale public funding and powerful institutions became so important in the twentieht century.
