Staff attitudes towar a family planning service in the mental hospital.

Staff attitudes toward an innovative family planning and gynecological service offered to patients in three psychiatric hospitals were assayed. Despite structural differences between hospitals, generally similar and favorable reports were obtained at all sites. However, comparison of verbal responses and actual utilization of the family planning service suggests that a theoretical position held by a minority as well as scattered personal biases militate against fullest cooperation with the program.

Demography of sterilization: Indian experience.

Using program statistics and a few local studies, the paper examines the prevalence of sterilization in India and makes demographic analysis of the performance. Major points of note are that the prevalence rates expressed in terms of currently married women showed irregular fluctuations across time and the age pattern of acceptance hardly agreed with that of the married population. The selectivity of high fertility couples for sterilization had been fairly high, resulting in a low fertility impact. Estimates of births averted due to the program were derived by using a computerized microsimulation model CONVERSE. It appears that the path of fertility changes was not smooth in the last decade and the impact has been, as a rule, greatest 2 years after acceptance.

Premarital counseling clinic at Chulalongkorn Hospital.

BACKGROUND: The premarital counseling clinic at Chulalongkorn Hospital was established in 1978. The characteristics and sexual background were reviewed. AIM: To study characteristics, sexual background and choices of contraceptions of premarital couples attending the premarital counseling clinic at Chulalongkorn Hospital during the past ten years, (1988-1998). DESIGN: Descriptive study. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Two hundred couples (men (M) and women (W)) attending the premarital clinic at Chulalongkorn Hospital from July 1988 to January 1998 were recruited in the study. The counseling program included medical counseling, sex education and family planning counseling. The information of couples was recorded by the Family Planning Unit staff and the residents. RESULTS: The mean age was 31.5 +/- 4.3 yrs. (M), 28.9 +/- 3.8 yrs. (W). Most of the couples had a bachelor's degree education (61.5%--M; 72%--W). Most of them were employees (64.0%--M; 60.0%--W), had an income of 10,000-20,000 baht per month (39.0%--M; 38.0%--W) were Buddhist 97.0 per cent (M), 93.0 per cent (W). There were only 4 couples who had an abnormal physical examination. 85.5 per cent of the men had had sexual experience before while it was only 23.0 per cent in women. Most of the men had frequent masturbation 3-4 times/month (31.5%) and most of the women had no masturbation (86.0%) at all. Most of the couples (71.5%) chose to have contraception (contraceptive pill 57.5% and condom 20.0%). CONCLUSION: Premarital counseling should be adjusted to the background of the couples. Most couples had a high income and education. Sex counseling is important for couples especially women. The propagation of premarital clinic encourages further study and to outreach the general population of Thailand.
