Access To Contraception

Social workers are in a position to provide contraceptive information to clients at high risk for unintended pregnancy. This paper reports on the results of an exploratory survey of licensed social workers in Pennsylvania (N=197) working with clients of childbearing age about their knowledge of contraceptive methods and policies regarding access to contraception. The majority of respondents reported that they did not feel they were knowledgeable about birth control issues. Particular gaps in their knowledge included information about emergency contraception and laws regarding access to contraception by minors. Respondents reported that social work courses do not adequately prepare students to discuss the provision of contraceptive information to clients. Implications for social work are discussed.

Childbearing Age

The incidence of unmet needs in Indonesia is still high, around 10.6 percent. For every 36 million couples of childbearing age, there are 4 million couples who experience unmet needs. The high number of unmet needs will trigger various effects on women of childbearing age. One of the impacts is unwanted pregnancy. This unwanted pregnancy can be a factor in morbidity and mortality in the mother, increasing maternal mortality if not addressed promptly. This study is an observational non-reactive study. This study aimed to determine the factors related to the unmet need for family planning in married women. The study subjects were 29,189 married women aged 15-49 years old (women of childbearing age). The data source comes from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) in 2017. Further analysis was carried out using the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. The results show that the factors affecting the unmet need for family planning in women are the age of women, the number of children who are still alive, family planning discussions between spouses or husband and wife, education level, employment status, knowledge related to methods, and history of family planning use. The variable of family planning usage history is the most influential factor in the unmet need for family planning in pregnant women. Women who have never done birth control have a high risk of unmet need—women's knowledge about contraceptive methods related to the contraceptive method and the history of using family planning (p-value <0.05). The variable of family planning usage history is the most influential factor in the unmet need for family planning in pregnant women. Women who have never done birth control have a high risk of unmet need—knowledge related to family planning methods and history (p-value <0.05). The variable of family planning usage history is the most influential factor in the unmet need for family planning in pregnant women. Women who have never done birth control have a high risk of unmet need.

Welfare Agencies

Child abuse became a public issue in the early 1970s. The alleged failure of social workers and welfare agencies to prevent children being killed by their parents and caretakers led to changes in the practice and organisation in child abuse work. The way public inquiries and government departments framed the problem of child abuse produced solutions which were essentially legalistic and bureaucratic. No longer was the aim to rehabilitate poorly functioning families, but to protect children from dangerous parents. But in order to achieve this aim, it was first necessary to identify the factors that would allow child protection agencies to recognise which families were dangerous and which were not. Once these factors were identified, it was possible to develop administrative systems that would facilitate the collection and analysis of information obtained during the investigation of suspected families. These systems allowed welfare agencies to identify ‘high risk’ cases. During the translation of the problem of child abuse into a set of judicial and bureaucratic procedures, therapeutically orientated professional practices found themselves out-manoeuvered. The translation witnessed the production of social workers as ‘passive agents’, a new cognitive perspective on the problem of child abuse, and a contribution to the bureaucratisation of child care practice.

Cross Sectional Design

The family planning program has a very appropriate role in addressing population growth. Most family planning participants chose injections and pills, while medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy) and medical operative for men (vasectomy) are the least preferrable. Based on National Board of Population and Family Planning data 2017, the majority of new family planning participants in Indonesia are dominated by family planning participants who use non-long-term contraception methods by 79.48% of all new family planning participants. The use of long-term contraceptive methods from year to year has increased compared to non-long-term contraceptive methods, but there is more interest in acceptors to use non-long-term contraceptive methods. The research objective is to examine the relationship between demographics, socio-economics, husband's support, and the use of medical operative for women contraceptives device (tubectomy). The research type is inferential research with cross-sectional design. The sample in this study was 40 EFAs, of which 20 EFAs used medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy), and 20 couples of childbearing age used non-medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy). The study results showed that the level of education, age, income, and husbands' motivation are not related to the use of medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy). However, the number of children is related to the use of medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy). The researcher's suggestion is to conduct education-related for pregnancy management so that the people can estimate the number of children, the distance of pregnancy, and the risk of pregnancy.

AbstractThe degree of health is influenced by many factors including the environment, behavior, health services and heredity. health is a basic human right and is one of the factors that determine the quality of human resources. The use of contraception is an effort to maintain health. there are various kinds of contraception one of which is the IUD. Intrauterine device (IUD) or also called an intrauterine device (IUD) is a very effective method of contraception to prevent pregnancy reaching 99.7%. IUD birth control has many advantages including a long effective period of contraception that is 3-5 years, no hassle to remember the medication schedule, no need to change devices, or refill prescriptions and return to the doctor or midwifeto repeat contraception and most importantly the return of fertility can occur immediately after removing the IUD. These advantages make IUD birth control a pregnancy delay tool that is most effective compared to other contraceptives. the lack of mother's knowledge about the benefits of using the IUD birth control program and the large amount of incorrect information makes mothers reluctant to use the IUD birth control program. Current conditions, the use of effective long-term contraceptive methods, especially the IUD, has relatively decreased while the use of hormonal contraceptive methods dominates. the provision of information through counseling is aimed at women of childbearing age and pregnant women so that they can provide appropriate information about the benefits of using KB IUDs and the awareness of mothers to use safer contraception andlong-term. long-range
