Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Health personnel are expected to provide qualified counseling in order to reduce unmet needs for family planning. However, limited contraceptive options, lack of knowledge, prejudice and reluctance of health personnel (HP) about contraceptive methods (CM) prevent individuals-couples from receiving qualified family planning services. Sometimes a non-commonly used method can better respond to the needs of any individual/couple. The study aimed to determine knowledge, choices and counseling practices (CP) of HP regarding not commonly used CM. METHODS: Cross-sectional study included 229 HP working at Obstetrics&Pediatrics Hospital in Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Self-reported data were collected via a questionnaire, and evaluated by descriptive statistics and chi square analysis. RESULTS: Of HP with an average age of 43.38±8.70 years and 20.98±9.61 working years, 40.6% have undergraduate and above education, and 57.2% received family planning (FP) counseling training. Participants found their knowledge of only five CM sufficient. They preferred symptothermal method (52.4%) and emergency contraception (EC-50.7%) for their partners. EC was preferred most likely by physicians (p=0.034). CI and essure was preferred by undergraduates and over educated personnel and essure was preferred by physicians (p<0.05). HP make usually counseling (%57.2) and the decision was made by individuals/couples (52.6%). Individual-occupational characteristics of HP do not affect CM knowledge and CP DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Knowledge and CP of HP regarding non-commonly used CM were insufficient, and they do not generally prefer these methods. However, their knowledge and preferences have changed by their individual professional characteristics, but not their CP. It may be advisable to organize regular in-service trainings and add these methods to FP-training guides

Özet

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Karşılanamayan aile planlaması gereksiniminin azaltılmasında sağlık personelinin nitelikli danışmanlık hizmeti sunması beklenir. Ancak, dar kontraseptif seçenekler, sağlık personelinin kontraseptif yöntemlere ilişkin bilgi eksikliği, önyargı ve isteksizliği gibi nedenler birey çiftlerin nitelikli aile planlaması hizmeti almasını engeller. Bazen az kullanılan bir yöntem de herhangi bir birey/çiftin gereksinimine daha iyi cevap verebilir. Bu araştırma, sağlık personelinin yaygın kullanılmayan kontraseptif yöntemlere ilişkin bilgi, tercih ve danışmanlık uygulamalarını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Kesitsel desendeki çalışma, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Doğumevi Hastanesi’nde çalışan 229 sağlık personelinde yapıldı. Veriler, soru formuyla ve katılımcıların öz bildirimine göre toplandı, tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve Ki-Kare analizi ile değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: Ortalama 43.38±8.70 yaşında ve 20.98±9.61 yıldır çalışan sağlık personelinin %40.6’sı lisans ve üzeri eğitime sahiptir, %57.2’si de aile planlaması (AP) danışmanlık eğitimi almıştır. Katılımcılar en çok aylık enjeksiyon (%73.4), takvim yöntemi (%64.6), laktasyonel amenore (%58.1), vazektomi (%55) ve minihapa (%46.3) ilişkin bilgilerini yeterli bulmaktadır. Kendisi/eşi için en çok semptotermal yöntem (%52.4) ve acil kontrasepsiyonu (AK-%50.7) tercih etmektedir. Hekimlerde AK (p=0.034), lisans ve üzeri eğitimlilerde aylık enjeksiyon ve essure, meslekte uzun çalışanlarda kadın kondomu tercihi fazladır (p<0.05). Sağlık personeli çoğunlukla/her zaman AP danışmanlığı yapmakta (%57.2) ve kararı birey/çifte bırakmaktadır (%52.6). Sağlık personelinin bireysel-mesleki özellikleri kontraseptif yöntem bilgi ve danışmanlık uygulamalarını etkilememektedir.. TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Sağlık personelinin yaygın kullanılmayan kontraseptif yöntemlere ilişkin bilgi ve danışmanlık uygulamalarının yetersiz olduğu, bu yöntemleri genelde tercih etmedikleri, ancak bireysel ve mesleki özelliklerine bağlı bilgi ve tercihlerinin değiştiği, danışmanlık uygulamalarının ise değişmediği görüldü. Sağlık personelinin farkındalığının artırılması için düzenli olarak hizmet içi eğitimler düzenlenmesi ve AP eğitim rehberlerine bu yöntemlerin eklenmesi önerilebilir.
