    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.

    Almonte, Darby April Gaye Q.; Tinsay, Shiela Mae B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
    The study aims to describe the perceived body image of female college students. Specifically, it wants to find out the activities of female college students relative to their body image; their exposure to the mass media in terms of enhancing body image; and to find out the influence of mass media exposure to their perceived body image. The study was conducted in the College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines in the Visayas, Miag-ao, Iloilo. Sixty respondents were obtained from the population of Social Sciences students using the fishbowl method of simple random sampling. The Body Parts Satisfaction Scale (Spainhour, 2000), together with a set of questions developed by the researchers, were used in gathering the data. Generally, the results showed that the female college students have a positive perception of their body image. Also, the female college students do not engage in any activity related to body image, such as dieting and exercising. Lastly, they are well exposed to the mass mediated messages about body image in the television and the magazine but they are not negatively influenced by those messages, that is, they neither compare their bodies with nor do they want to look like the models in television and magazine.
