Designing of KB (Family Planning) Service Information System in Pratama Clinic Salatiga

The writing of this Journal aims to explain the design of the KB service information system that is available at the Pratama Clinic Salatiga. As for the background of making this journal because Indonesia is one of the countries that has the largest population in the world and this happens because the number of births in Indonesia that cannot be controlled. Although the government has launched a KB that is applied by using contraceptives, it has not been able to overcome the problems that occur. The number of uncontrolled births is due to the large number of families who complain about the use of contraceptives. Expensive, difficult to obtain and uncomfortable when used is an excuse for those who do not want to use contraception so that the number of births cannot be controlled, besides that along with the development of existing KB services it is increasingly ignored because people prefer things that are practical and do not like to follow complicated programs or services such as family planning services so that it causes more and more people who are lazy to attend family planning and have an impact on increasing numbers birth. Seeing from the phenomena above, the thought is formed that service information systems are really needed in the current era of development, especially to facilitate all the work that cannot be done in a short time. So from this the special information system design was made in the field of family planning services in the Pratama Clinic in the form of a journal. In this journal, it explains about how a family planning service can be accessed easily without wasting too much time so that the public wants to participate in the family planning service. One way that can be done is to establish an information system that can be used for family planning services with a system that is easily understood and accessed by the general public.

The Government

A nationally representative sample of 8 percent of the Government of Pakistan's primary family planning service facilities, the Family Welfare Centres (FWC), was carried out at the request of the Ministry of Population Welfare in mid-1992. The “situation analysis” approach used involved: 1) observation and inventory of services, facilities, supplies and record keeping reviews; 2) observation of interaction between service providers and FP clients at FWC's; 3) interviews with service providers; and 4) exit interviews with FP clients after service provision. This one-day on-site observation by teams of three interviewers provided a unique overview and baseline assessment of the availability of services, the staff functioning and the quality of service. Significant findings include a low caseload, inadequacies of facilities, some stockouts, lack of educational materials, insufficient outreach, unnecessary medical and social barriers to providing contraception as well as in some cases insufficient information to clients about contraindications to contraceptive usage and possible side-effects. The need to bolster in-service training and supervision is emphasized.

Pacific Island Countries

The use of contraceptives for family planning improves women’s lives and may prevent maternal deaths. However, many women in low and middle-income countries, including the Pacific region, still die from pregnancy-related complications. While most health centres offer family planning services with some basic contraceptive methods, many people do not access these services. More than 60% of women who would like to avoid or delay their pregnancies are unable to do so. This scoping review identifies and analyses evidence about family planning service provision in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs), with the aim of better informing family planning services for improved maternal health outcomes in the Pacific. We used Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review guidelines, supported by Levac, Colquhoun and O’Brien to identify gaps in family planning service provision. Selected studies included peer-reviewed publications and grey literature that provided information about family planning services from 1994 to 2019. Publication data was charted in MS Excel. Data were thematically analysed and key issues and themes identified. A total of 45 papers (15 peer-reviewed and 30 grey literature publications) were critically reviewed. Five themes were identified: i) family planning services in the Pacific; ii) education, knowledge and attitudes; iii) geographical isolation and access; iv) socio-cultural beliefs, practices and influences; and v) potential enabling factors for improved family planning, such as appropriate family planning awareness by health care providers and services tailored to meet individual needs. While culture and religion were considered as the main barriers to accessing family planning services, evidence showed health services were also responsible for limiting access. Family planning services do not reach everyone. Making relevant and sustainable improvements in service delivery requires generation of local evidence. Further research is needed to understand availability, accessibility and acceptability of current family planning services for different age groups, genders, social and marital status to better inform family planning services in the Pacific.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Family planning is a proven cost-effective intervention that has contributed to women empowerment and overall human development. Demand factors and women’s expectations and experiences at health facility for family planning services may influence their uptake and utilisation of these services. Increased awareness and positive community perception and quality of family planning services that meet clients’ expectations may greatly improve utilization. The aim of this study was to identify ways to improve family planning service users' experience at primary health care centres towards improving utilization of family planning services in two northern Nigerian states. METHODS: This qualitative study was part of a larger operations research that explored married women’s and service providers’ perception of quality of care along the RMNCH pathway to inform improvements in service delivery. The study utilised Experience-based co-design (EBCD) methodology that employed qualitative methods to explore clients and service providers’ experiences of healthcare services. A total of 92 IDIs and 4 FGDswere conducted in two communities each in Kano and in Yobe states. ‘Touch points’ from service providers’ and respondents’ experiences were extracted using thematic analysis. Joint workshops were further conducted with clients and providers to co-design a user-driven service pathway to improve service utilization. RESULTS: Key 'touch points' from providers’ experiences included stock out of family planning commodities, inadequate equipment and infrastructure and cultural and religious believes that prevent utilization of family planning services. In addition, clients reported challenges securing husband permission to utilize services, poor provider attitude and lack of female providers at health facility as obstacles to service utilization. Co-designing a service improvement plan by service providers and clients that involved increasing community awareness about the benefits of family planning by service providers, improving providers’ attitude, increasing family planning outreach and promoting men involvement in family planning programmes. CONCLUSION: EBCD provides a platform that make clients active contributors to family planning service improvement plans at the health facility thereby ensuring provision of quality services that meet the need of women.

Abstract Background Even though the modern contraceptive use was improved in Ethiopia, the utilization of long-acting family planning services is still low because of numerous factors. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize logical evidence about factors associated with long acting family planning service utilization in Ethiopia. Methods The participants of the study were married women of reproductive age in Ethiopia. This search included all published and unpublished observational studies written in the English language conducted before April 30, 2018, in Ethiopia. Electronic and non-electronic sources were used. PubMed, MEDLINE (EBSCO), CINHAL (EBSCO), Embase (EBSCO), POPLINE and the search engines like Google, Google Scholar Mednar and world cat log were used. The overall selected search results were 15 studies. Each study was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Studies. Data synthesis and statistical analysis were conducted using ReviewManagerVersion5.3.5. Results Women’s inadequate knowledge level [OR, 0.29; 95% CI: 0.10, 0.83, P = 0.02], women’s age between 15 and 34 [OR, 0.82; 95% CI: 0.53, 0.93, P = 0.01], not having electronic media [OR, 0.65; 95% CI: 0.53, 0.79, P < 0.0001] and women from rural area [OR = 0.65;95% CI:0.50, 0.81, P = 0.0009] were less likely associated in the use of long-acting family planning services. The odds of utilizing long acting family planning methods were high among non-government- employed women and husband [OR, 1.77; 95% CI: 1.29, 2.43, P = 0.0004], [OR, 1.69; 95% CI: 1.33, 2.15, P < 0.0001] respectively. Having no previous exposure to any modern family planning method [OR = 2.29; 95%CI: 1.83, 2.86, P < 0.00001] and women having no discussion with husband [OR = 1.92 (95%CI: 1.50, 2.45) P < 0.00001] were more likely associated in the utilization of long-acting family planning services. Conclusion Lack of information and knowledge, having discussion with husband, being women of younger age, having less than five living children, being government-employed women and husband, not having electronic media, and being residents in rural area were significant barriers for underutilization of long acting family planning methods in Ethiopia. Hence, the investigators suggest that key stakeholders should design interventions strategies to avert attitudinal, cultural and informational barriers towards long-acting family planning methods.

The Impact

Abstract Background: Women seeking family planning services from public-sector facilities in low- and middle-income countries sometimes face provider-imposed barriers to care. Social accountability is an approach that could address provider-imposed barriers by empowering communities to hold their service providers to account for service quality. Yet little is known about the feasibility and potential impact of such efforts in the context of contraceptive care. We piloted a social accountability intervention - the Community Score Card (CSC) - in three public healthcare facilities in western Kenya and use a mix of quantitative and qualitative methodologies to describe the feasibility and impact on family planning service provision. Methods: We implemented and evaluated the CSC in a convenience sample of three public-sector facility-community dyads in Kisumu County, Kenya. Within each dyad, communities met to identify and prioritize needs, develop corresponding indicators, and used a score card to rate the quality of family planning service provision and monitor improvement. To ensure young, unmarried people had a voice in identifying the unique challenges they face, youth working groups (YWG) led all CSC activities. The feasibility and impact of CSC activities were evaluated using mystery client visits, unannounced visits, focus group discussions with YWG members and providers, repeated assessment of score card indicators, and service delivery statistics. Results: The involvement of community health volunteers and supportive community members – as well as the willingness of some providers to consider changes to their own behaviors - were key score card facilitators. Conversely, community bias against family planning was a barrier to wider participation in score card activities and the intractability of some provider behaviors led to only small shifts in quality improvement. Service statistics did not reveal an increase in the percent of women receiving family planning services. Conclusion: Successful and impactful implementation of the CSC in the Kenyan context requires intensive community and provider sensitization, and pandemic conditions may have muted the impact on contraceptive uptake in this small pilot effort. Further investigation is needed to understand whether the CSC – or other social accountability efforts – can result in improved contraceptive access.

Beta Version

This descriptive, exploratory, retrospective survey, carried out at a family planning service, aimed to identify nursing phenomena during nursing visits according to the ICNP, Beta version 2. Data were collected based on 52 records of nursing visits, realized from October 2001 to December 2002. To conduct the cross-mapping process, all identified nursing phenomena were joined, organized and compared according to the ICNP's terms. Of the 51 identified nursing phenomena/diagnoses, 46 (90.2%) showed exact and partial concordance. The identified nursing phenomena can be used to assist nurses to provide care for clients in family planning services. The ICNP showed to be a comprehensive program, although some terms need to be reviewed and others enhanced. However, considering that it is an international classification applicable to several countries, the mapping process and cross-references were very satisfactory.

Unwanted Pregnancies

Unwanted pregnancies with their negative impact on both women and children occur on an ongoing basis in Gauteng, South Africa. One way to prevent unwanted pregnancies is to use a reliable contraceptive method available free of charge from primary health care clinics providing family planning services throughout Gauteng Province. A literature review was completed on women and access to family planning services and an interview schedule (questionnaire) was developed. The purpose of this study was to describe guidelines to meet the expectations of clients accessing family planning services provided by a clinic in Region F, Area 28 of the Greater Johannesburg metropolitan council. This quantitative, exploratory, descriptive and comparative study measured the gaps between the expectations of participants on service delivery and the extent to which these expectations were met. A convenience sample was conducted and consisted of 50 women of reproductive age (ages 15 to 49) attending the family planning clinic. Pre-testing of the instrument was conducted. Structured interviews with a interview schedule were conducted before and after women attended a family planning service. Inferential statistics indicated that there was a significant gap between the client expectations of family planning service delivery and the extent to which these expectations were met. Of the sixty-four items where women indicated the extent of their expectations the findings on only three items were not statistically significant. These gaps were addressed by proposing managerial guidelines to be implemented by the nurse manager in charge of the facility, on which this article will focus. Validity and reliability principles were ensured in the study. Ethical principles were adhered to during the research process.
