The study examined radio family planning messages with particular reference to the nature of the audience influence on communication content by using a chat program on radio in a developing society. The study adopted content analysis research method with a purposive sampling technique and used a radio script having six items for analyses. Results showed that there were more family planning segments for women than for men and, there were more family planning for drugs/pills and materials/implantation than for injection. In addition, there were side effects in the use of family planning just as there were quite a number of frequently asked questions except for condoms-fiesta/kiss. This paper concludes that radio scripts/messages for family planning programs should accommodate more topics/segments of family planning for men and women, specifically, natural methods should be included. Furthermore, radio family planning messages should focus more on the benefits of family planning and specifically the benefits of contraceptive pill and post pill emergency should be examined. Other formats of programs should be employed in the campaign for family planning messages on radio, and development communicators and content developers of radio family planning scripts should explore more areas to make radio messages more robust.

The contraceptive injection is one of the most widely used contraceptives by family planning acceptors in Garut Regency, especially in the Bayongbong Village. Side effects of the contraceptive injection include: amenorrhea, galactorrhea, bleeding, spotting, headache, lower abdominal pain, depression, hirsutism, hypertension, jaundice, decreased libido, nausea, dizziness, anxiety, thrombophlebitis, and weight gain and loss. The side effects of the contraceptive injection, if not addressed, would cause a drop out of acceptors of the family planning program. The attitudes and actions of family planning acceptors are one of the factors that influence the decision of the acceptors to continue to become the contraceptive injection acceptors or drop out. The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes and actions of 3-month the contraceptive injection acceptors in overcoming side effects in the Bayongbong Village, Garut. The research method was descriptive, the sample of research was 72 people selected by random sampling technique. The analysis used was univariate. The results showed that 27 respondents (37.5%) had an unsupportive attitude and 45 people (62.5%) had a supportive attitude. While the actions of 32 people (44.4%) had good actions and 40 people (55.6%) had less action in overcoming the effects of 3 months injection of the family planning program. The side effects of the 3-month injection contraception device are one of the factors that can influence the decision to continue using contraception or not.

Abstract Background Addressing the unmet need for modern contraception underpins the goal of all family planning and contraception programs. Contraceptive discontinuation among those in need of a method hinders the attainment of the fertility desires of women, which may result in unintended pregnancies. This paper presents experiences of contraceptive use, reasons for discontinuation, and future intentions to use modern contraceptives. Methods Qualitative data were collected in two rural counties in Kenya in 2019 from women with unmet need for contraception who were former modern contraceptive users. Additional data was collected from male partners of some of the women interviewed. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions explored previous experience with contraceptive use, reasons for discontinuation, and future intentionality to use. Following data collection, digitally recorded data were transcribed verbatim, translated, and coded using thematic analysis through an inductive approach. Results Use of modern contraception to prevent pregnancy and plan for family size was a strong motivator for uptake of contraceptives. The contraceptive methods used were mainly sourced from public health facilities though adolescents got them from the private sector. Reasons for discontinued use included side effects, method failure, peer influence, gender-based violence due to covert use of contraceptives, and failure within the health system. Five reasons were provided for those not willing to use in the future: fear of side effects, cost of contraceptive services, family conflicts over the use of modern contraceptives, reduced need, and a shift to traditional methods. Conclusion This study expands the literature by examining reasons for contraceptive discontinuation and future intentionality to use among women in need of contraception. The results underscore the need for family planning interventions that incorporate quality of care in service provision to address contraceptive discontinuation. Engaging men and other social influencers in family planning programs and services will help garner support for contraception, rather than focusing exclusively on women. The results of this study can inform implementation of family planning programs in Kenya and beyond to ensure they address the concerns of former modern contraception users.

Abstract Background In Rwanda, nearly a third of contraceptive users discontinue within the first year of use. Family planning programs often focus more on recruitment of new users as opposed to maintaining use among current users. A focus on sustaining users and minimizing discontinuation is imperative for long-term family planning program success. This study explores the efforts providers and contraceptive users in Rwanda employ to prevent one of the greatest challenges to family planning programs: contraceptive discontinuation. Methods This was a qualitative study conducted in Rwanda between February and July 2018. It included eight focus group discussions with 88 family planning providers and 32 in-depth interviews with experienced modern contraceptive users. Data were collected in two districts with the highest (Musanze) and lowest (Nyamasheke) rates of contraceptive use. Data were analyzed using thematic content approach. Results Family planning providers in this study used the following strategies to prevent discontinuation: counseling new users on the potential for side effects and switching, reminding clients about appointments for resupply, as well as supporting dissatisfied users by providing counseling, medicine for side effects, and discussing options for switching methods. Users, on the other hand, employed the following strategies to prevent discontinuation: having an understanding that experiences of side effects vary by individuals, supporting peers to sustain use, persisting with use despite experiences of side effects, and switching methods. Conclusions The strategies used by family planning providers and users in Rwanda to prevent discontinuation suggest the possibility of long-term sustained use of contraception in the country. Harnessing and supporting such strategies could contribute to sustaining or improving further contraceptive use in the country.

Abstrak_ Lanskap penyembuhan menciptakan ruang yang membantu orang mengurangi stres dan meningkatkan kesehatan mental mereka. Dalam budaya Iran, taman bersejarah serta taman kota (dalam beberapa dekade terakhir) dapat bermanfaat untuk menciptakan lanskap penyembuhan. Mempertimbangkan model Canter Place, parameter lanskap penyembuhan disajikan dalam bentuk tiga dimensi: fungsional, persepsi-semantik, dan fisik-visual. Karena pria dan wanita berperilaku berbeda dalam menghadapi lingkungan mereka, penelitian ini mengevaluasi bagaimana taman Persia dan taman kota berpengaruh (dengan dua pola struktural yang berbeda) di antara pria dan wanita. Metode penelitian adalah kuantitatif, dan data dikumpulkan dengan teknik kuesioner. Kemudian, analisis varian variabel Unianova tunggal dalam perangkat lunak SPSS 23 digunakan untuk mengevaluasi data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan dalam persepsi dimensi dalam penyembuhan antara pria dan wanita. Pemahaman seorang wanita tentang dimensi penyembuhan persepsi-semantik dan fungsional di Azadi Park berbeda dan kurang dari pria. Di Taman Eram, tidak seperti Taman Azadi, tidak banyak perbedaan antara kegiatan pria atau wanita. Secara umum, umpan balik wanita lebih rendah daripada pria, pada parameter penyembuhan lingkungan Azadi Park (struktur lanskap organik). Oleh karena itu, perlu untuk lebih memperhatikan inklusivitas gender dari lanskap penyembuhan perkotaan dalam desain.Kata kunci : Lanskap Penyembuhan; Taman Persia; Taman Kota; Taman Shiraz Eram; Jenis Kelamin. Abstract_ Healing Landscapes are spaces that help people to reduce their stress and improve their mental health. In Iranian culture, historic gardens and urban parks (in recent decades) can be useful to create healing landscapes. Considering the Canter Place model, the parameters of landscape healing presented in the form of three dimensions: functional, perceptual-semantic, and physical-visual. Since men and women behave differently in dealing with their surroundings, this research evaluates how Persian gardens and urban parks effect (with two different structural patterns) among men and women. The research method was quantitative, and data gathered by the questionnaire technique. Then, Unianova single-variable analysis of variance test in SPSS 23 software was used to evaluate the data. The results indicated no difference in the perception of the physical-visual dimension of healing between men and women. A woman's understanding of the perceptional-semantic and functional dimension of healing in Azadi Park was different and less than men. In Eram Garden, unlike Azadi Park, there was not much difference between of men or women’s activities.  In general, women's feedback is lower than men, on the environment healing parameters of Azadi Park (organic landscape structure). Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to the gender inclusiveness of urban healing landscapes in design.Keywords:  Healing Landscape; Persian Garden; Urban Park; Shiraz Eram Garden; Gender.

This study aims at investigating the perceptions of educational partners towards managing and implementing inclusive education, ensuring whether special need students can be wholly admitted and facilitated, and probing on the integration and management of students with physical, moral, and mental problems. The strategy used is centered on a case study with qualitative approach. The researchers applied a semi-structured interview and analyzed the data using content analysis with descriptive-interpretation-pattern coding model. For choosing the participants, quota sampling technique was applied whereby four participants were chosen from every school to represent the sections. The population is made up of all students, teachers, staff, and parents from SMA Yogyakarta, SMA Wates, and SMK Imogiri. Based on the interviews, all the subjects confirmed that inclusive education in the respective schools is critical. Besides, the perceptions of all subjects towards management and implementation of inclusive education does not prove its satisfactory level.[Penelitian bertujuan melihat persepsi orang tua, siswa, guru, dan staf terhadap pengelolaan dan penerapan pendidikan inklusif, memastikan apakah siswa berkebutuhan khusus dapat diterima dan difasilitasi oleh sekolah, dan meyakinkan cara untuk mengintegrasikan dan mengelola siswa dengan masalah fisik, moral, dan mental. Penelitian ini adalah studi kasus dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Peneliti menggunakan wawancara semi-struktural dan menganalisis data dengan analisis konten. Untuk memilih peserta, teknik kuota sampling diterapkan di mana empat peserta dipilih dari setiap sekolah untuk mewakili yang lain. Populasi terdiri dari semua siswa, guru, staf, dan orang tua dari SMA Yogyakarta, SMA Wates, dan SMK Imogiri. Berdasarkan wawancara, semua subjek menegaskan bahwa pendidikan inklusif di sekolah masing-masing masih belum mapan. Selain itu, persepsi semua yang diwawancarai terhadap manajemen dan pelaksanaan pendidikan inklusif tidak benar-benar mengkonfirmasi tingkat pendidikan inklusif yang memuaskan.]
