Receiving Information On Preconception Health

Using a survey tool that was previously designed to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices of health care workers and pharmacists, NP students answered the 30-item questionnaire containing subjective questions that measured the participants’ knowledge and attitude about EC such as: its existence, mechanisms of action, intention to include in contraceptive counseling, and willingness to prescribe (Lee et al., 2012). Presumptively, the results can be considered as highly reliable because survey questions were answered both subjectively and anonymously; in other words, no consequences for being honest. In addition, inviting students from various NP programs across the nation ensures a comprehensive compilation of responses which can help reflect

The focus of the pregnancy prevention review should be in the areas of education and training, employment and careers and financial circumstances. The advisory group prioritized these areas because they were, considered most relevant for policy intervention (EPPI-Centre).

For quantitative research, Experiences of sub-fertility among Chinese couples in Hong Kong: a qualitative study (Loke, A, Yu P, Hayter M (2011) would be used.

Intended audience: My ideal audience for this speech would be pre-pregnancy and currently pregnant couples.

Patients should be given information regarding the importance of prenatal care and availability of prenatal care for future pregnancies.

One in eight women in the United States develop breast cancer in their life. One in five sexually active teens has herpes. Three in ten sexually active teen girls become pregnant before age twenty. All of these statistics are shocking, but what is more disturbing is that they can typically be spotted or prevented if given access to the proper outlet, tools, and information. The epidemic that should frighten people is the plague of misinformation or ignorance to knowledge that could prevent these occurrences, or the lack of drive to find information regarding these unfortunate instances. Planned Parenthood offers a range of services that include screening for breast cancer to women, sexually transmitted disease testing to

The fertility rate is an important factor when evaluating the health of the public. Despite the United States having one of the best healthcare systems in the world, approximately 13% of women between the age of 18 & 44 have trouble conceiving. Although the US has implemented the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a landmark policy, assisting millions of Americans in obtaining health insurance, unless altered, the policy could hurt the 3 out of 20 women who struggle with infertility. After evaluating the core essential benefits of the Affordable Care Act, the views of stakeholders, and the state mandates, an easy solution can be established to assist those suffering from impaired fecundity.

1: What additional information would be useful prior to discussing a contraceptive plan with your client?

Most birth control pills require a prescription. Some women might expect the visit to their doctors to be filled with blood work and a full physical exam. But to their surprise, the doctor typically asks for information regarding the last date of their menstrual cycle and if they are pregnant. Then the doctor signs off a prescription with no additional questions asked. These quick visits demonstrate that the majority of doctors are not taking the time to examine the health of their female patients to determine if they are even healthy candidates for birth control pills. The majority of doctors must ask more questions regarding weight, smoking habits, and potential heart disease risks. Jandi DuPree is one of the thousands of women that trust their doctors for medications. Dupree was 28 years old when she visited her doctor to get her prescription for birth

However, Blackstone and Stewart (2016) provide lucidity through comprehensive considerations of previous research, which examined the process by which individuals decide to have children, with the intent to provide insight into many individuals’ decision to remain childfree. Furthermore, Blackstone and Stewart (2016) continued to identify insufficiencies in prior research throughout their article, as they recognized that many former researchers primarily focused on women’s experiences rather than men’s and typically explored why couples’ have chosen to remain childfree rather than how they have reached their decision to remain childfree (Agrillo & Nelini, 2008; Clausen, 2002; Gillespie, 2003; Houseknecht, 1982; Letherby, 2002; Edin & Kefalas, 2011; Hertz, 2006; Mollen, 2006; Mueller & Yoder, 1999; Park, 2005; Settle & Brumley, 2014; Lunneborg,

Of the 31 women who reported reasons for late or no prenatal care, 17 (55%) cited late confirmation of pregnancy and 7 (23%) cited lack of medical insurance. Among those who cited lack of medical insurance, only 2 (<1%) cited that they didn’t believe they qualified. No women cited traditional barriers (transportation, childcare or cost) and only 1 cited clinic scheduling as a reason for the delay.

A fantastic way to prevent unwanted pregnancies is with the use of contraceptives, and the organization makes them accessible to all patients at lower or no costs at all (Planned Parenthood). Different methods of birth control are made available to patients after their consultation, but they can decline to accept them. However, they are encouraged to return for them at any moment if the time presents itself when the patients may need them. Not only does the organization make it easy for men and women to have access to birth control, it also educates its patients on the correct use of birth control for the best results (Planned Parenthood). When patients leave the clinic, they leave with the proper knowledge not only how to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but also how to prevent being exposed to sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) and other health risks.

The National Survey of Reproductive and Contraceptive Knowledge includes approximately 1,800 national men and women who are unmarried and between the ages of 18 and 29. Individuals were contacted randomly by phone. All females who responded to the survey were included,

Often times, teenagers who already have one child are not very careful about their contraception habits because they are overly confident about their parenting skills and the financial assistance they receive from government programs or their parents. These factors affect their decision making skills when it comes to sex and contraception because since their experience with raising their first child was bearable,

I have been thinking a lot lately about the critical role that peers and community play in supporting, educating, and empowering individuals to make healthy decisions. This has stemmed from our discussions on centering pregnancy and my own experiences observing breastfeeding support groups. Overall, it is clear how important peers are in discussing and supporting others’ positive health choices. Peer education and support for positive health behavior can provide a sense of community, and individuals know they are not alone when there are others experiencing the same thing and providing support. I think this is most evident when thinking about the Preconception Peer Educator (PPE) program and the positive implications that can arise from educating other adolescents about the importance of preconception health and contraception use to improve their own health
