Abstract:
Practical steps are needed to overcome various demographic challenges, and one of the programs considered important is Family Planning (KB). Through family planning, standardize birth, ideal birth interval and reproductive age, control pregnancy period, and promote, guarantee and support reproductive rights to build high-quality families. Family planning programmes enable women to manage their pregnancies and reduce maternal mortality. Given the importance of counseling in the success of family planning programs, this review study aimed to further explore the ability of family planning counseling to increase family knowledge during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is a systematic review using online databases namely Scholar, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest. The keywords used were Family Planning, Family Knowledge, Pandemic, Covid-19 . The selection process used the PRISMA protocol, resulting in 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The results of the study show that most family planning cadres had high skill levels during the epidemic, but the overall level of family knowledge was still low. This is due to obstacles such as community cultural development, a limited number of family planning teachers, limited family planning service facilities and infrastructure, and lack of public awareness of family planning work. But overall, family planning programs are supported by the community and religious leaders, capable field workers, and scientific and technological developments. Families' knowledge of family planning relies on consultants, especially medical staff and family planning consultants, as sources of information. Mass media resources are very limited.

Abstract:
Rapid population growth is now one of the biggest socio-economic and consequently, health problems in the world. The significance of this dramatic increase in population becomes apparent when the limited possibilities of socio-economic growth are considered among developing countries. The use of modern contraceptives in order to control birth rates, on the other hand, is rather limited in these countries.
The present study investigates the knowledge and attitudes of family planning programs by Iranian males, who play a major role in all familial decision-making, including the practice of family planning. This research examines subjects' reasoning strategies about practicing family planning. A sample of sixty laborers with various levels of formal education were selected and some methods developed within the domain of cognitive psychology were used in analyzing the data.
The results showed that males, as proposed, play a vital role in decision-making regarding the practice of family planning. Formal education appears to have no significant impact on the subjects' knowledge and attitudes toward issues of family planning. Furthermore, early age of marriage, particularly with respect to the girls, appears to be an accepted phenomenon and has strong roots in the belief systems of the population.
This research has implications for developing educational programs in the domain of health. It is proposed that future research should devote considerable effort to better understand the role of the males in the process of decision-making regarding the practice of family planning.

Abstract:
When the owners of family-owned businesses leave the workplace, they can transfer ownership to the next generation; however, their knowledge of the business goes with them. There is a gap in the literature regarding effective ways to transfer family business resources and knowledge to subsequent generations. The problem was some small and family-owned businesses do not have detailed plans in place based on the needs of owners and the successor generation, with cross-project knowledge as part of the succession plan. The purpose of this nonexperimental study was to examine the relationships between the subscales of cross-project tacit knowledge transfer and to examine the generational differences in cross-project tacit knowledge transfer among small and family-owned businesses. The theoretical underpinning of the study was Argyris and Schön's organizational learning theory. Data from family business owners were collected through an online survey administered by SurveyMonkey, using purposeful sampling. Data (n = 233) were analyzed using a Spearman correlation matrix and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The findings indicated there were significant associations for seven of the 10 correlations between the subscales of cross-project knowledge transfer with each relationship being positive. In addition, the findings suggested that there were significant differences in cross-project knowledge transfer by age cohort. These findings may assist informed family-owned business owners with the complexities of succession planning, which may lead to the business being successful over more generations. This may allow the business to sustain its contribution to the local economy and help the community to prosper, leading to positive social change.

Abstract:
The present study "Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Family Planning 'Methods in Rural Nepal" was conducted to assess the situation of fertility behavior and use of family planning methods. It attempted to collect reliable data on reproductive behavior; contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and family size preferences.The immediate objectives of the study were to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of family planning methods; to assess the contribution of governmental and non-governmental programs; and recommend appropriate measures and suggestions for the further improvement of the programs.As a representation of rural Nepal, Banganga Village planning office, and the households were randomly selected from the list by the team supervisor. Eligible households selected included all of those in which there was a currently married couple in which either spouse aged between 15 and 45 years of age were present. There were a total of 150 couples identified as eligible for interview and all were successfully interviewed.A structured interview schedule was developed by the researcher, which was sent to Nepal with detailed guidelines for training and management of interviewers. The final editing of all collected survey instruments was carried out by the researcher with the advice of the members of the thesis committee. Later, those instruments were coded and entered in the computer for the purpose of statistical analysis.Based on statistical analysis, it was found that 60.7 percent of the total respondents have heard of at least one of the methods of family planning. However, only 11.3 percent of them have ever used a particular method of family planning. The current use of contraception is also 11.3 percent which is slightly lower than the level found in a 1986 national survey (15.1%). This shows a great disparity between the knowledge and practice of family planning methods.The major reasons given by respondents for not using any family planning method were bad side effects and the desire to have more children. This suggests that program managers and policy makers in Nepal must develop improved information and communication strategies in order to increase the rate of acceptance of family planning.Of the 11.3 percent of the sample who are current users of contraceptive methods, sterilization constitutes as high as 82.4 percent which indicates that family planning is very popular insynonymous with sterilization. This clearly indicates that the concept of birth spacing has not been Nepal.A further finding was that the family planning program is reaching proportionately more literate than illiterate people. This necessitates formation of effective strategies by the concerned agencies which will increase the acceptance rate among illiterate people. This is extremely significant since more than 75 percent of the total population is still illiterate and the majority of them live in rural Nepal.

Abstract:
There has been extensive, mostly negative research on the outcomes of foster care youth. Due to the abundance of this research, Extended Foster Care (EFC) was created to help to provide additional resources and support to young adults in foster care until age 21. This is a fairly new program, therefore little research has been completed. One of the negative outcomes of foster youth is the high pregnancy and parenting rates. The purpose of this study is to be able to understand the knowledge and use of family planning services among the young adults participating in EFC. Understanding this information will help to improve services provided by the social workers who work with this population. This research used a quantitative questionnaire. The questionnaire was mailed to the young adults participating in EFC in San Bernardino County. A statistical analysis was completed using SPSS version 21. The study’s findings showed that on average, EFC participants have a good understanding of safe-sex practices but do not usually use safe-sex methods or go to family planning service organizations. The study also found that participant demographics do not have a correlation to their knowledge or use of family planning services, nor to the number of pregnancies or live births. However, there is a negative correlation between a participant's knowledge score and if they have children in their custody. Finally, 47% of participants reported being informed about family planning service organizations by their Social Worker.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 97-106).
[Background]The IUD is a highly effective, reliable, and safe contraceptive method that is under-utilised in many countries due to persistent fears that it causes pelvic infection. Reliable evidence of the safety of this contraceptive method has not been enough to effect a change in use. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and acceptability of the IUD among clients and providers in the Family Planning services in Cape Town and to attempt to identity obstacles to use. [Methods] A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted at eight Family Planning clinics in Cape Town. Two hundred and sixteen clients aged between 18 and 50 years, and 30 providers from the same clinics, were interviewed using structured questionnaires. [Results] Awareness of the IUD among clients was low - 81 women (41%) had heard of this contraceptive method. Ever and current use were very low. Only 9 women (4%) had ever used an IUD and 3 women were still using this method. Both the women who were interested in using this method in the future (n=77; 36%) and the women who were ambivalent or not interested in future use (n=139; 64%) cited a lack of knowledge as an obstacle to use. Although most providers were aware of the availability of the IUD (n=26; 87%). their factual knowledge was limited. Infection (n=14; 47%) and increased menstrual bleeding (n=12; 40%) were frequently mentioned as disadvantages. Referrals for and insertions of the IUD were low, and this method was often not discussed with women considering tubal ligation. Providers identified lack of client knowledge, myths and rumours among clients, lack of skilled providers to insert the device, and lack of promotion of the IUD, as significant obstacles to greater use of this method. [Conclusion] Although the IUD is available in the public sector services, it is not being utilized. Better education of both clients and providers is essential in order to improve accessibility and acceptability of this highly effective and cost effective contraceptive method.

A hansenÃase acomete, principalmente, pessoas jovens em plena capacidade reprodutiva, que necessitam de cuidados no campo da anticoncepÃÃo, uma vez que a gestaÃÃo e a lactaÃÃo podem agravar o quadro clÃnico de mulheres e representar riscos para o bebÃ. Estabeleceu-se como objetivos descrever o perfil reprodutivo e o perfil da hansenÃase em um grupo de mulheres em idade fÃrtil; conhecer a prÃtica anticonceptiva do grupo pesquisado e sua adequabilidade com relaÃÃo à presenÃa da hansenÃase; avaliar o conhecimento de mulheres com hansenÃase sobre as particularidades do uso de MÃtodos Anticoncepcionais (MAC) relacionadas à patologia e sobre os riscos maternos e fetais associados à mesma; e verificar associaÃÃo estatÃstica entre o intervalo de tempo atà o diagnÃstico de hansenÃase e o Grau de Incapacidade FÃsica (GIF) apresentado pelas mulheres no momento do diagnÃstico; surgimento do diagnÃstico da hansenÃase com o perÃodo da gravidez e/ou lactaÃÃo e pÃs-parto imediato; e ser usuÃria de Anticoncepcional Hormonal Combinado e apresentar reaÃÃo hansÃnica. Tratou-se de estudo avaliativo, transversal, realizado com 200 mulheres com hansenÃase, em idade fÃrtil, acompanhadas no Centro de ReferÃncia Nacional em Dermatologia SanitÃria Dona LibÃnia de Fortaleza-CE. Os dados foram coletados de marÃo a outubro de 2011, por meio de entrevista e revisÃo de prontuÃrios. Para avaliar o conhecimento foram utilizadas escalas Likert. Foi realizada anÃlise estatÃstica descritiva utilizando freqÃÃncia absoluta e relativa, mÃdia, desvio padrÃo e intervalo de confianÃa, e anÃlise estatÃstica bivariada, sendo as associaÃÃes entre as variÃveis categÃricas verificadas por meio dos testes de Qui-Quadrado, Qui-Quadrado com correÃÃo de continuidade e Qui-Quadrado de tendÃncia. Para todas as anÃlises foram consideradas como estatisticamente significantes aquelas com p=0,05. O projeto de pesquisa foi submetido ao Comità de Ãtica em Pesquisa do local do estudo, segundo ResoluÃÃo n 196/96, aprovado conforme protocolo 012/2011, e as participantes assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. As mulheres apresentaram mÃdia de idade de 39 anos, predomÃnio de relacionamento com parceiro fixo, e renda per capita de R$ 170,74. Predominou a forma clÃnica dimorfa (86 â 43%), a poliquimioterapia multibacilar (111 â 55,5%) e o GIF zero no diagnÃstico (160 â 80%). O surgimento e/ou diagnÃstico de hansenÃase durante a gravidez ou lactaÃÃo dÃi afirmada por 50 (25%) mulheres, sendo que no perÃodo de fertilidade Ãtima (16 a 35 anos) foi afirmada por 31 (40,2%). Quanto à prÃtica anticoncepcional, 163 (81,5%) mulheres usavam algum MAC, sendo os mais citados laqueadura (71 â 43,5%), o anticoncepcional oral combinado (41 â 25,1%) e o preservativo masculino (30 â 18,4%); 58 (35,3%) faziam uso de MAC contra-indicado para sua condiÃÃo clÃnica. Predominou o nÃvel de conhecimento limitado (114 â 57%) na avaliaÃÃo sobre os riscos para o bebÃ, moderado (95 â 47,5%) na avaliaÃÃo sobre os risco para a mÃe, e limitado (107 â 53,5%) na avaliaÃÃo sobre o uso de MAC seguros. NÃo foi encontrada associaÃÃo estatÃstica significante entre o tempo atà o diagnÃstico e o GIF (p=0,0461), entre surgimento dos sinais e sintomas da hansenÃase ou diagnÃstico com gestaÃÃo/lactaÃÃo, sendo os valores de p= 0,335 e 0,871, respectivamente; e entre o uso de MAC hormonal combinado e o surgimento ou diagnÃstico de reaÃÃo hansÃnica (p=0,156). Concluiu-se que mulheres com hansenÃase necessitam de atenÃÃo anticoncepcional, com orientaÃÃo eficaz para os MAC indicados para sua condiÃÃo clÃnica, de modo a contribuir para o alcance do nÃvel de conhecimento extenso. Apesar do estudo nÃo ter revelado associaÃÃo estatÃstica significante entre gravidez/lactaÃÃo com o surgimento/diagnÃstico da hansenÃase, a busca de casos suspeitos em consultas de prÃ-natal, especialmente em Ãreas hiperendÃmicas, deve ser rotina na atenÃÃo bÃsica.
Leprosy affects mainly young people in their reproductive capacity, requiring care in the Field of contraception, as pregnancy and lactation may aggravate the clinical presentation of women and pose risks to the baby. The main objective was to describe the reproductive and leprosy profile in a group of women at childbearing age, to know the practice of contraceptive research group and the suitability for the presence of leprosy; to assess the knowledge of women with leprosy on the specifics of the use of Contraceptive Method (CM), and on maternal and fetal risks associated with it, and verifying statistical association between the interval until the diagnosis of leprosy and the Degree of Disability(DD) at diagnosis, onset/diagnosis of leprosy with the period of pregnancy/lactation and the immediate postpartum period, and be combined hormonal contraceptive user and present leprosy reaction. It was an evaluative study, cross-sectional, conducted with 220 women with leprosy at childbearing age, accompanied by the Center of Dermatology Dona LibÃnia, in Fortaleza, CearÃ. Data were collected from March to October 2011, through interview and records review. To assess the knowledge Likert scales were used. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using absolute and relative frequency, mean, standard deviation and confidence intervals, and bivariate statistical analysis, and the associations between categorical variables were verified by the chi-square, chi-square with continuity correction and chi square trend. For all tests were considered statistically significant p =0.05. The research was submitted to the Ethics Committee of Center of Dermatology Dona LibÃnia, according to Resolution nÂ196/96, approved according to the protocol 012/2011 and participants signed a consent form. Women had a mean age of 39 years, predominantly in stable relationships, and per capita income of R$ 170.74. Boderline clinical forms predominated (86 â 43%), multibacilary multidrug therapy (111 â 55.5%) and zero degree of disability at diagnosis (160 â 80%). The onset/diagnosis of leprosy during pregnancy/lactation was affirmed by 50 (25%) women, and in the period of optimum fertility (16 to 35 years) was affirmed by 31 (40.2%). As to the contraceptionâs practice 163 (81.5%) women used a CM, the most cited was tubal ligation (71 â 43.5%), the combined oral contraceptive (41 â 25.1%) and male condom (30 â 18.4%), and 58 (35.3%) women were using a contraindicated CM for their condition. Limited knowledge level was predominated (114 â 57%) in the assessment of risks to the baby, moderate (95% - 47.5%) in the assessment of risks to the mother, and limited (107 â 53.5%) in assessment of safe use of CM. There was no statistically significant association between time to diagnosis and DD (p = 0.0461) between appearance of signs and symptoms of leprosy diagnosis with pregnancy or lactation, the values of p= 0.335 and 0.871, respectively, and between the use of combined hormonal contraceptive and the onset/diagnosis of leprosy reaction (p = 0.156). It was concluded that women with leprosy requires contraceptive care with effective guidance for the CM indicated for their condition to contribute to achieving the level of extensive knowledge. Although the study doesnât establish a statistically significant association between pregnancy/lactation with the onset/diagnosis of leprosy, the search for suspects in cases in prenatal consultations, especially in hyperendemic areas, should be a routine in primary care.

Abstract:
The prevalence of post abortion contraception in Zambia is lower than in many other African countries, with unmet family planning needs. Midwives play an important professional role in family planning. In conjunction with an abortion the midwife is provided with an opportunity to inform, discuss, prescribe and initiate family planning with the woman concerned. It is shown that women receiving information and knowledge about post abortion contraception are more likely to use it.   The aim of the study was to describe midwives experiences of working with post abortion family planning in Zambia.   A qualitative interview study with semi-structured questions was used. To conduct the study and find participants with the right inclusion criteria a strategic sampling was used. Ten midwives working with post abortion family planning in Zambia were interviewed. Qualitative content analysis was performed to analyze the collected data from the interviews.   During the data-analysis two categories and eight subcategories were identified. The midwives had experiences of several challenges within post abortion family planning. These included lack of knowledge, supplies and health care staff as well as problem with stigma around family planning and lack of compliance. The midwives also described other factors influencing the work with post abortion family planning. These factors included changes in attitudes, the midwife's knowledge and the importance of information provided by the midwives.   The midwives experienced that there were several factors influencing their work with post abortion family planning. Several challenges within post abortion family planning were identified in this study. Areas of improvement involve education, more midwives working and a better availability to post abortion family planning equipment and services.
Användandet av preventivmedel efter abort är lägre i Zambia i jämförelse med andra afrikanska länder och behovet av familjeplanering är inte tillfredsställt i Zambia. Barnmorskeprofessionen har en viktig roll i familjeplanering. I samband med abort har barnmorskan ett utmärkt tillfälle att informera, diskutera, förskriva samt initiera familjeplanering med den berörda kvinnan. Det har visat sig att kvinnor som får information och kunskap om familjeplanering efter abort är mer benägna att använda sig av preventivmedel.   Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva barnmorskors erfarenheter av att arbeta med familjeplanering för kvinnor i Zambia som genomgått en abort.   En kvalitativ intervjustudie med semistrukturerade frågor användes. För att nå deltagare som uppfyllde studiens inklusionskriterier användes ett strategiskt urval. Tio barnmorskor i Zambia som arbetar med familjeplanering efter abort deltog i studien. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys utfördes för att analysera det insamlade materialet.   Under analysen identifierades två kategorier och åtta subkategorier. Barnmorskorna hade erfarenhet av flera utmaningar inom familjeplanering efter abort. Dessa bestod dels av brist på kunskap, material och vårdpersonal samt problem med stigma kring familjeplanering och brist på följsamhet rörande preventivmedelsanvändning. Barnmorskorna beskrev även andra faktorer som påverkade arbetet med familjeplanering efter abort. Dessa faktorer bestod av ändrade attityder, barnmorskans kunskap och vikten av barnmorskans information.   Barnmorskorna hade erfarenhet av att flera faktorer påverkade deras arbete med familjeplanering efter abort. Flera utmaningar med familjeplanering efter abort identifierades genom den här studien. Förbättringsområden involverar utbildning, fler verksamma barnmorskor och en bättre tillgänglighet till material och familjeplanering efter abort.

Abstract:
Women's control over their fertility is vital for both their health and that of their children. Although family planning methods are available at most health facilities in the country, the service does not enable many Black South African women to control their fertility successfully. This inadequacy of the present service is demonstrated, by a high rate of teenage pregnancy and abortion. Based on anecdotal reports, one of the barriers to effective use of contraceptive methods seemed to be the competence and abilities of the providers. This qualitative study was done in clinics in a peri-urban township to explore the knowledge and problem-solving abilities of the nurses providing family planning services. The aim was to use the information so gained to improve family planning services in the area by preparing a set of guidelines for the management of specific clinical problems and making recommendations to service organisers. The study tape-recorded 18 actual nurse-patient interactions to get an idea of the clinical problems faced by the nurses. A consensus panel was used to derive a set of "ideal" answers to the clinical scenarios the nurses faced in the consultations and the nurses' and panels' responses were compared. A focus group discussion with the nurses was then conducted and their opinions and reasons for the differences explored. The results revealed a general malaise affecting the services in this area. There were significant differences in the nurses and panels' handling of the problems especially in the areas of counselling and advice. In addition, the nurses were found to be inappropriate providers of family planning as their scope of practice prevented them from examining patients. They were also unable to rule out pregnancy because there were no pregnancy test kits available in the clinics. The focus group discussions indicated that many of the nurses knew how to handle the problems and what advice to give. They claimed that work and time pressures prevented them from doing this. They also alleged that patients were the problem and never told the truth. Poor communication skills and attitudes towards patients were other barriers identified. Nurses spoke to their patients like children and were often rude. In addition, nurses counselled patients infrequently on the use of methods and the side effects to be expected. Patients were offered a choice of method rarely and health education when given, focused on morality and did not mention issues like safe sex and HIV/ AIDS. The manual of guidelines will only address the problem solving of the nurses. The study therefore concludes by making recommendations to the Directorate of Maternal, Child and Women' s Health to carefully evaluate the use of enrolled nurses as providers with full consideration given to the quality of care that can be provided by them. The resources available and the practices related to supervision and in-service training also need to be reviewed and prioritised. A recommendation is also made to the Provincial Human Resources Directorate to develop policies for improving staff attitudes towards service users and disciplinary procedures for staff who are rude to service users. Recommendations are also made to supervisors to review the present training course and introduce the problem-solving approach and respect for patient autonomy into it. The supervision is also recommended to be facilitative and on-site and the providers must be involved in the solving of problems. The emphasis of the service must change from patient turnover to effective contraceptive use to enable women in this area to have any meaningful control over their fertility.

Abstract:
Background: Approximately 70% of US adults currently receiving opioid agonist treatment (OAT) for opioid use disorder are of reproductive age. Among women receiving OAT at risk of having an unintended pregnancy, typically less than half report any current contraceptive use compared to 90% in the general population. In addition, the rate of unintended pregnancy among women receiving OAT is disproportionately higher than the general population (~80% vs. 45%, respectively). Lack of knowledge about family planning may be contributing to decreased rates of contraceptive use and increased rates of unintended pregnancy among women receiving OAT. Method: Participants were a convenience sample of women and men receiving OAT or a comparison group receiving primary care (PC) services. Family planning knowledge was assessed with the recently validated Contraceptive Knowledge Assessment (CKA), a self-administered 25-question multiple-choice survey. A two-way ANOVA, with fixed factors (i.e. patient sample and sex), compared the total number of correct responses for all questions and five more specific content areas (p<.05). Results: Overall, 332 participants completed this survey. The mean percent of total correct responses was significantly lower in the OAT sample (n=167) compared to the PC sample (n=165), 47% vs. 53% correct, respectively (p<.001) or approximately 1.5 questions less. The mean percent of correct responses in four of the five content areas was also lower among the OAT sample compared to the PC sample (ps<.01). The mean percent of total correct responses was significantly higher among women (n=169) than men (n=163), 56% vs. 44% correct, respectively (p<.0001) or approximately 3 questions more. The percent of correct responses in four of the five content areas was also higher among women than men (ps<.01). Conclusion: Given the substantial discrepancy in rates of contraceptive use and unintended pregnancy between individuals receiving OAT and the general population, it is somewhat unexpected that individuals receiving OAT did not have lower levels of family planning knowledge, although patients in both samples only answered approximately 50% of the questions correctly. Results from the present study suggest deficits in family planning knowledge, while statistically significant, may be less clinically so. Overall, lack of family planning knowledge is likely only playing a small role in population differences in contraceptive use and unintended pregnancy and interventions aimed at decreasing these differences will need to address other barriers to accessing family planning services and utilizing contraception in this population.

Abstract:
AbstractThe importance of father’s health and health behaviors during the perinatal period is an under-appreciated, but critical, topic for enhancing reproductive and infant health and development, and ultimately men’s own lifetime health. This chapter brings together the existing scattered reproductive fatherhood health literature and articulates a new conceptual framework that identifies eight direct and indirect pathways of potential paternal impact. Three pathways reflect pre-conception to conception influences; paternal planned and wanted pregnancies (family planning); paternal biologic and genetic contributions; and paternal epigenetic contributions. Three pathways reflect father-mother perinatal interactions: paternal reproductive health practices that may alter their partner’s health behaviors and self-care practices; paternal reproductive biologic and social health that may alter their partner’s reproductive health biology; and paternal support for maternal delivery and post-partum care. And two pathways reflect systemic influences: paternal mental health influences; and paternal contributions to the family’s social determinants of health. This chapter pushes back the time frame for the father’s developmental importance for his child into the antenatal period, if not earlier; it encourages more gender equitable parental roles and opportunities; and it provides a stronger scientific knowledge base to support new fatherhood programs, policies and research that encourages father’s more active, healthier and earlier reproductive health involvement.

Full text
Abstract:
Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a fundamental human right that implies knowledge and exercise of sexual and reproductive rights (SSR). Among the latter are access to knowledge and use of contraceptive methods; therefore, SSR should be experienced as a constant experience that allows women to achieve full satisfaction and security in their sexual and reproductive sphere through their subjectivity, their body, and their social and cultural life. Knowing about family planning allows having the desired number of children determining the interval between pregnancies and choosing the contraceptive method according to the social, cultural and psychological beliefs, needs and conditions of each woman. However, indigenous women from Canton Cañar (Ecuador) have less access and knowledge to contraceptive methods, mainly due to the influence of social, cultural, religious and economic factors, among others. The lack of information about family planning in indigenous populations of the South of Ecuador has motivated this study; through a medical-anthropological approach, it is intended to determine what is the preference regarding contraceptive methods in indigenous Cañari women in the context of the Cañari culture and what are their perceptions regarding such methods.

Full text
Abstract:
Worldwide, there have been remarkable gains in the provision and utilization of reproductive health and FP services. However, in Africa, despite increasing availability, utilization of these services is less than 50%, even though there are wide variations among and within the countries across the continent. Articles from peer-reviewed journals, technical reports, Internet articles, grey literature (official government documents, technical reports, etc.) and Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) reports were used as resource materials. Manual search of reference list of selected articles was done for further relevant materials. We also used for comparative analysis, the online StatCompiler tool (https://www.statcompiler.com/en/) to extract data. Reproductive health and contraceptives have a lot of benefits to the individual, family and community. However, despite near universal knowledge and availability of reproductive health and FP services in Africa, utilization of these services is less than optimal. Several factors operating at individual, household and within the community influence utilization of services. These factors are the cause of poor maternal health and care that might hinder population health and the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Interventions to promote and sustain utilization of services should target these factors at different levels depending upon relative role/s of these factors.

Abstract:
Serious illness creates a need for financial and legal support for individuals and their families. Nonmedical issues are often as pressing on them as their medical concerns. Clinicians must have a basic understanding of meeting those needs of advance planning, income and family maintenance, access to insurance, and family preservation within the context of culturally appropriate care. Knowledge of community and faith-based resources to meet the nonmedical needs of the palliative care patient is an essential aspect of care. Since these are often unknown to patients and their families, the clinician must know how to guide patients through the morass of cultural and legal requirements for this purpose.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the evolution, opportunities, succession model, and sustainability challenges of formal and informal family businesses in Nigeria. Using qualitative research method, while relying on content analysed secondary data, the chapter found that the family businesses that evolved in Nigeria laid the foundation for socio-economic development, and they contributed immensely to employment generation, stimulation of indigenous entrepreneurship, mobilization of idle savings, and growth of gross domestic product. Family businesses in Nigeria prefer relay succession planning for transferring control to family members. The major sustainability challenges include poor succession planning, harsh macro-economic environment, conflict of interest, emotional family problems, parochial family vision, absence of mentoring, competition from multinational corporation, poor access to funding, inadequate entrepreneurial knowledge, weak financial management, bad governance, and a host of others. The chapter concludes with research implications, limitations, and suggestions for further research.

Abstract:
Abstract Nyegaard & Co.’s challenge when planning to launch its first non-ionic contrast medium for the myelographic market, Amipaque, was huge. It was a small and home-market-oriented company. Apart from a Scandinavian marketing organization, it had nothing. It was also about to enter the global market at a time when the pharmaceutical industry in the United States and other large markets came under scrutiny for lackadaisical practices. The challenge was solved by formulating an ethical code and by continuing to build a collective organization that shifted its emphasis from being a universal provider for a small market to testing, registering, and marketing a totally new concept globally. A traditional hierarchical family company radically changed its organizational ethos to create a collective. Empowering employees also was a tool in forging the necessary strategic alliances with the much larger companies that sold Amipaque. Nyegaard & Co. rather collaborated more than competed with some of the existing contrast media companies internationally.

Abstract:
The field of housing has undergone significant changes during the challenging post-socialist transition. Serbia has been a somewhat different case in the way that its transition was postponed and more complex. Conversely, its housing also carries the legacy of the more developed former socialist Yugoslavia. This dichotomy can easily be observed in the case of the newly-built, “transitional” multi-storey housing. However, the data relating to its characteristics is rare and insufficiently accurate. The aim of this chapter is to improve the research of the urban dimension in newly-built multi-family housing in Serbia, regarding housing planning in the new master and detailed urban plans for Serbian cities. This has been researched by analyzing the professional knowledge and experience of local experts. Therefore, the method used in the research was survey, in which urban experts had participated. It had been carried out in May 2015.

Abstract:
This paper introduces the Temporal Inference Problem (TIP), a general formulation for a family of inference problems that reason about the past, present or future state of some observed agent. A TIP builds on the models of an actor and of an observer. Observations of the actor are gathered at arbitrary times and a TIP encodes hypothesis on unobserved segments of the actor's trajectory. Regarding the last observation as the present time, a TIP enables to hypothesize about the past trajectory, future trajectory or current state of the actor. We use LTL as a language for expressing hypotheses and reduce a TIP to a planning problem which is solved with an off-the-shelf classical planner. The output of the TIP is the most likely hypothesis, the minimal cost trajectory under the assumption that the actor is rational. Our proposal is evaluated on a wide range of TIP instances defined over different planning domains.

Abstract:
Complex new product development requires numerous decisions by many individuals and groups, which are often geographically and temporally distributed. There is a need to share and coordinate distributed resources and synchronize decisions, and recent advances in information technology (IT) pose an untapped potential for assisting in the capture, storage, retrieval and facilitated use of product development information. We exploit IT to address this problem through the proposed approach to Product Family Planning. By sharing assets such as components, processes and knowledge across a family of products, companies can efficiently develop differentiated products and increase the flexibility and responsiveness of their product realization process. In this paper we describe our recent efforts in realizing an information management infrastructure for product family planning and platform customization. In particular, we focus on three current research thrusts to identify product platform leveraging strategies to support future product family planning: (1) an evolutionary approach to product platforming, (2) a bottom-up approach to product platforming, and (3) industry-based platform case studies. Future research directions are also outlined.

Full text
Abstract:
Recently Bonet and Geffner have shown that first-order representations for planning domains can be learned from the structure of the state space without any prior knowledge about the action schemas or domain predicates. For this, the learning problem is formulated as the search for a simplest first-order domain description D that along with information about instances I_i (number of objects and initial state) determine state space graphs G(P_i) that match the observed state graphs G_i where P_i = (D, I_i). The search is cast and solved approximately by means of a SAT solver that is called over a large family of propositional theories that differ just in the parameters encoding the possible number of action schemas and domain predicates, their arities, and the number of objects. In this work, we push the limits of these learners by moving to an answer set programming (ASP) encoding using the CLINGO system. The new encodings are more transparent and concise, extending the range of possible models while facilitating their exploration. We show that the domains introduced by Bonet and Geffner can be solved more efficiently in the new approach, often optimally, and furthermore, that the approach can be easily extended to handle partial information about the state graphs as well as noise that prevents some states from being distinguished.

Abstract:
Information management has been recognized as an essential ingredient for effective product family planning strategies through the utilization of product platforms. Product platforms utilize commonality of parts, modules, and processes during design and manufacture. This commonality must be well documented for its effective use, and ontologies are one way to organize this information to promote knowledge management. The following provides a case study to verify a proposed methodology for product platform knowledge management that uses the semantic web paradigm by applying it to a component from a major modular playground equipment producer. Our objective is to verify the developed methodology using a case study of a modular playground component and to evaluate the methodology’s user adoptability. It will be shown that the methodology is successful and valid to apply to other applications, with some improvements, in the future.

Full text
Abstract:
This study involved secondary analysis of a substantial set of 1987–88 focus group data from Bangladesh’s Matlab Thana, where the Family Planning and Health Services Project was underway since 1977. The project was highly successful in increasing family planning (FP) acceptance and provided a rich research base for studying the diffusion of FP and its effects. The study involved 36 focus groups with fieldworkers, community women, husbands, educated women, and community leaders. The intent of the present study is to examine the effect of FP on women's status in Bangladesh, and to prepare papers on that topic. Following leads in the data itself, two papers were prepared under this subcontract. One concerns the effect of the FP fieldworkers on the knowledge and attitudes of young, unmarried women toward fertility and FP; the other presents a qualitative analysis of the fertility transition in Bangladesh, contributing to the ongoing debate on whether fertility decline is caused by demand-side or supply-side factors. This report reviews both documents.

Ndhlovu, Lewis. Quality of care in family planning service delivery in Kenya: Clients' and providers' perspectives. Population Council, 1995. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1995.1038.

Full text
Abstract:
In recent years, the increasing number of organizations that have studied quality of care in international family planning (FP) programs demonstrates the importance the topic has acquired. To define quality of care in FP, the Bruce–Jain framework of six elements of care (choice of methods, information given to clients, technical competence, interpersonal relations, continuity and follow up, and appropriate constellation of services) have been used as the standard. However, what has been overlooked in this approach is the clients' perspectives of service quality. This study sought to narrow the gap in knowledge about the comparability and consistency in views between clients, providers, and researchers. Thus, this study’s main objective was to define the laypersons' and providers' dimensions of quality of care and compare them with the Bruce-Jain elements. The study was conducted in Kenya between July and September 1994. It was the first part of the Kenyan National Situation Analysis Study (conducted in 1995), and results will provide a guide in the methodology and formulation of the study instruments.

Traditional family planning in Bangladesh. Population Council, 1997. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1997.1000.

Full text
Abstract:
“Traditional” methods of family planning (FP) generally are methods such as withdrawal and periodic abstinence that do not require contraceptive substances or devices, or clinical procedures. In 1991, approximately 38 million couples worldwide relied on withdrawal to prevent pregnancy, and 30-35 million relied on periodic abstinence. Together, these constituted one-quarter of all users of temporary methods of FP worldwide. In Bangladesh, the proportion using periodic abstinence or withdrawal was more than 20 percent of users of temporary methods. The reasons for use of traditional methods have not been investigated in Bangladesh, because of overriding attention to modern methods. Given that the use of traditional methods is widespread, what is the level of knowledge among Bangladeshi users about the safe periods of the monthly cycle for the most effective use of periodic abstinence? What factors cause higher socioeconomic groups to be the main users of traditional methods? Why do some people switch between traditional and modern methods? This report investigates these questions, and others, but is aimed at determining the main policy issues and the policy implications of findings.

Male involvement in family planning: A KABP study of Agra District, Uttar Pradesh. Population Council, 1997. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1997.1008.

Full text
Abstract:
Although lack of male involvement in family planning has been a topic of research and discussion since the early 1980s, during the last five years it has become an important issue for women advocates, researchers, and many international agencies that are committed to reproductive health and gender equality. The large number of articles on this subject and growing number of conferences, research projects, and debates are testimonies to the importance of the issue, both from the programmatic point of view and as a process for bringing about a gender balance in men's and women's reproductive rights and responsibility. This paper addresses the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices of rural males toward various aspects of family formation including reproduction and contraceptive use. The study was undertaken in the rural areas of Agra district, in Uttar Pradesh. To assess the knowledge and attitudes of males, 517 currently married males were interviewed. Out of those interviewed, 317 of their wives were also interviewed. The two sets of data provide an opportunity to compare the attitudes of males and females on issues related to family formation.

Men’s desired family size in Bangladesh is small; only one-third of respondents in the most recent DHS survey wanted more than two children. The same survey revealed that knowledge of at least one modern method of FP is practically universal and that attitudes toward contraception are overwhelmingly favorable. Only superficial information on the frequency and quality of communication about FP between spouses and the effects of such communication on contraceptive usage exists. Not much effort has been made to involve men in FP programs in Bangladesh. The few references that could be found suggest that men can be successfully incorporated into outreach programs and that contraceptive prevalence can be raised through such efforts.

Abstract:
In Nigeria, Community Pharmacists (CPs) and Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors (PPMVs) are the first point of care for many common illnesses. Although CPs and PPMVs are not formally recognized as family planning (FP) service providers, 22% of modern contraceptive users report receiving their last method from a PPMV and 12% from a private pharmacy. PPMVs are popular for FP because of their widespread availability, consistent drug stocks, extended hours, personable interactions, and lack of separate fees for consultations. As the Federal Ministry of Health explores expanding its task sharing policy to include CPs and PPMVs, evidence is needed on an effective regulatory system to support CPs and PPMVs in providing high-quality FP services. The IntegratE Project (2017-21) seeks to increase access to contraceptive methods by involving the private sector in FP service delivery in Lagos and Kaduna states. The Project seeks to establish a regulatory system with the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria to ensure that CPs and PPMVs provide quality FP services and comply with regulations. To achieve this, the Project is implementing a pilot accreditation system for PPMVs. CPs function outside the pilot accreditation system but would receive the same training. This brief compares knowledge of FP and quality of care received among PPMVs and CPs as reported by FP clients served.

Abstract:
Knowledge, perceptions, and behavior related to reproductive health (RH) and sexual matters underlie all the conditions that family planning/maternal and child health (FP/MCH) programs address, thus these are important issues for FP researchers, population policymakers, and service providers. To achieve significant levels of fertility or mortality declines, participation of adolescents in reproductive health programs, including FP/MCH, is essential. Studies focusing on sexuality and attitudes of adolescents on RH, and the interacting influences of family, community, and the social sector developmental programs (health, FP/MCH, education, women’s development) would give useful revelations. This report presents findings from a study that was designed to conduct in-depth research on adolescents’ attitudes, perceptions, and behavior on sexuality and RH in selected urban and rural settings of Bangladesh.
