    Camayra, Zyllette G.; Casimero, Joeuella M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-04)
    Proper management, of solid waste is the answer to the worsening problem of garbage. The participation of the household sector, as the primary source of solid waste, plays an important role in the successful implementation of Community-Based Solid Waste Management Program (CBSWMP). The study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between households' participation in Community-Based Solid Waste Management Program and the age and awareness of the household head as well as the monthly income of the household, it seeks to accomplish the following objectives: (1) To describe the profile of the households in barangay Mat-y, Miagao, Iloilo, with active CBSWMP; (2) To determine if there is a relationship between households’ participation in CBSWMP and age of the household head; (3) To determine if there is a relationship between households' participation in CBSWMP and income of the household; (4) To determine if there is a relationship between households’ participation in CBSWMP and awareness of the household head. The sample of the study involved residents of barangay Mat-y. Miagao, Iloilo. Eighty respondents, from the total 320 probable respondents, were randomly selected and interviewed. The interview was made possible using an interview schedule. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that, age, monthly income and level of awareness did not show direct correlation with respondents’ participation with CBSWMP. Although, a relationship exists among variables and participation on CBSWMP, the nature of relationship is weak and inverse thereby not giving significant findings. From the results, it can be said therefore that, the participation of households in CBSWMP may depend on households’ attitudes and behavior towards the program. The researchers recommend further research to be conducted on households’ participation in CBSWMP but using other variables not included in this study.

    Client's assessment of the quality of care of family planning services in the rural health unit of Pavia, Iloilo
    Basas, Orchid Joy B.; Golez, Sheila Mae G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)
    Family Planning Studies in the Philippines had grown into enormous number. They are mostly centered on the acceptance of the various contraceptive methods by the couple and do not usually focus on the quality of care of family planning services. This study was conducted primarily in order to determine the clients’ assessment of the three aspects of Quality of Care of Family Planning Services (choice of methods, information given to clients and mechanisms for continuity of use) provided by the Rural Health Unit in Pavia, Iloilo. The respondents were thirty-five (35) married women of reproductive age (15-49). The data were analyzed using simple frequency counts and percentages. The result of the study revealed that IUD and pills are the most offered contraceptive methods in the clinic. Other methods that are being offered include condoms, injectables, rhythm, withdrawal, ligation and vasectomy. Most of the respondents preferred IUD and pills as their method. It also revealed that the respondents were informed about the side effects and effectiveness of their chosen method. Most of them also were able to discuss what they know about their chosen method. With regards to information service, most of the respondents were informed by the health worker regarding their chosen method. The study also revealed that the mechanisms used by the health worker to ensure continuity of use is through verbal means and by pressuring the respondents to go back in the clinic. By average, the clients’ assessment of the quality of care of family planning services is very good which means that they are satisfied with the services they get from the clinic.
