    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.

    Addat, Sittie Jayhan M.; Tamboong, Eleanor P. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)
    This study was conducted to determine whether there was a difference between male and female students of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas Division of Biological Sciences on their help-seeking behavior. The sample was composed of 30 males and 30 females enrolled during the second semester on academic year 2001-2002.The respondents were chosen through simple random sampling. A 5-point Likert scale was used to measure differences between male and female respondents on help-seeking behavior. The t-test at .05 level of significance was used to establish any significant difference between male and female respondents. To establish on the differences in sources of help among male and female respondents, chi-square was set at .05 level of significance. The Kendall Coefficient of Concordance was used to determine any significant difference between male and female respondents on the type of problem they sought help for. The results of the study showed that males sought help more frequently than males [t= .29, σ .05|. The correlation between gender and sources of help was found to be significant for problem type (Academic, χ=14.01 at σ < .05; Financial, =9.41 at σ < .05; Emotional/Personal, χ=26.39 at σ < .05; Peer Pressure χ=20.13 at < .05; and Spiritual, χ= 15.17 at σ < .05). In Family related problems was found to be insignificant with χ= 4.58 at σ < .05. The correlation between gender and type of problem being helped was found to be significant with a value of s = 13478 for W .214 at σ < .05.
