Abstract:

Cultural beliefs, knowledge and practices have been found to be interlinked factors that have led to increased maternal and infant mortality and morbidity during postpartum period (Thompson 2003). In Jordan, despite being one of the most modem countries in the Middle East, postpartum (postnatal) care services are still under-utilised by Jordanian rural mothers (MOH 2004). Postpartum (postnatal) care is the aspect of reproductive health care that has received limited attention in research to date. This is particularly true in the Jordanian rural areas.

Research indicates that community involvement is critical in achieving vector control, and that children, disproportionally burdened by this disease, are an effective and appropriate population to target with interventions.

Abstract:

The intrauterine device (IUD) is a safe, effective, convenient, reliable, inexpensive, and cost-effective form of reversible contraception. It rivals female sterilization, injectables, and implants with respect to effectiveness in pregnancy prevention. Once inserted, IUDs are nearly maintenance free; some IUDs can even be used for over a decade. In many settings however, the utilization of this form of contraception is poor and a number of barriers to usage exist. These barriers often relate to lack of knowledge and misperceptions among both potential users and healthcare providers. The IUD is

Abstract:

A significant gap exists between evidence-based practice (EBP) and actual occupational therapy (OT) practice in the management of a disabling post-stroke impairment - unilateral spatial neglect (USN). With improved patient outcomes linked to the use of best practices, it is crucial to modify OTs' actual practices in stroke care. To date, no research study has used knowledge translation (KT) to increase knowledge of EBP specific to OTs managing post-stroke USN.

<p> Among the multitude of interventions to address the worst forms of child labor (WFCL), one of the responses to the presence of WFCL has been the institution of child labor monitoring (CLM). While systems to systematically monitor children with respect to their exposure and risks have been implemented, the degree of their efficacy and ultimately their effect on the targeted populations begs academic scrutiny. This dissertation seeks to provide an empirical view of the community-level dynamics that emerge in response to a community-based CLM program and their effects, in turn, on the CLM i

Thesis (MPH)--University of Limpopo, 2010.<br>Introduction: Hepatitis B is a serious liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), with an estimated 360 million chronic infections worldwide, about a million of which die each year from chronic liver diseases.

<p>Many of the known risk factors associated with low birth weight, such as socio-economic status, ethnicity, genetic makeup, and obstetric history, are not within a women's immediate control.

Lifestyle behaviours, such as cigarette smoking, nutrition and the use of alcohol, play an important role in determining the growth of the fetus.
