Emirati women in the Western Region have limited access to specific health care. Thus, this study assessed the awareness and utilization of health care services of Emirati women of the seven municipalities in the Region identified through stratified random sampling. This quantitative descriptive-comparative and correlational research used a researcher-made questionnaire based on the guidelines of the Department of Health. Statistical computation using the mean revealed the women’s lack of knowledge and information about government health care services and their rare availing of these services. The use of ANOVA showed significant differences in their awareness and utilization according to demographics. Pearson Product Moment Correlation showed a significant relationship between awareness and utilization of health care services. Significant challenges encountered are the distance to the health center, the long waiting time for the doctor, and religion. The study recommends to strengthen advocacy programs and provide appropriate health facilities to women.

<p>Se ha elaborado un estudio con enfoque cualitativo basado en encuestas semiestructuradas, en el periodo 2007-2008, de usuarios de drogas intravenosas de los Centros de Información y Prevención del Sida. Los profesionales, que atienden de forma esporádica a pacientes VIH los estigmatizan en mayor medida debido a la desinformación, miedo y falta de empatía. Se detecta diferente comportamiento de uso en ex consumidores de drogas. Las mujeres se ajustan más a las normas y son menos conflictivas, se desenganchan más y recaen menos. A las mujeres se les atiende rápidamente en los servicios sanitarios no específicos. Ambos sexos usan estrategias contra la estigmatización.</p><p>We have performed, in 2007-2008, based upon questionnaires, a qualitative study of intravenous drug abusers from Centres for Information and AIDS prevention. Among health professionals, those who occasionally see AIDS patients do stigmatise them more for lack of information, fear and lack of empathy. Men and women behave differently when they are no longer drug abusers. Women adapt more to the norms, are less conflictive, kick the habit on a larger scale, and relapse less than men. Women are more quickly taken care when accessing non specific health-care services. Both sexes use strategies against stigmatization.<br /><br /><br /></p>

Debate over whether health care institutions or individual providers should have a legally protected right to conscientiously refuse to offer legal services to patients who request them has grown exponentially due to the increasing legalization of morally contested services. This debate is particularly acute for Catholic health care providers. We elucidate Catholic teaching regarding the nature of conscience and the intrinsic value of being free to act in accord with one’s conscience. We then outline the primary positions defended in this debate and respond to critics of Catholic teaching. In so doing, we show how Catholic health care providers’ claims to conscientiously refuse to offer specific health care services are not essentially faith-based, but are founded upon publicly defensible reasons. We also address the question of whether conscientiously refusing health care providers may become complicit in moral wrongdoing or potentially cause scandal by means of disclosure or referral to another provider.

Abstract This short article discusses recent trans health-care zines that have emerged from collectives rooted in radical care practices and mutual aid in the United Kingdom and Europe. This includes the publications Dysphoria, Power Makes us Sick, Radical Transfeminism, and Wages for Transition. It considers the embodied politics that emerge through the manifestos, writing, illustrations, and poems included within these zines, and the forms of bodily being they elaborate. In the context of the second half of a decade defined by fiscal austerity in Europe and the ongoing underresourcing of trans-specific health-care services in the United Kingdom, it details the practices and imaginaries of trans social reproduction, autonomy, and liberation that have emerged through these publications.
