مستخلص: Objective: We aimed to understand the utilization of the mode of delivery and related risk factors. Further aimed to apply the Robson classification system to evaluate the data quality and analyze the CS rates in subgroups. Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study by reviewing the medical records of all women who delivered at the State Hospital in 2019. A proforma was developed for extracting data from patient records. All women with six obstetric parameters were categorized into Robson groups to determine the absolute and relative contributions of each group to the overall CS rate. Results: Of 797 deliveries, 401 (50.2%) were CSs. Being older, being Turkish Cypriot, having preterm births, previous CS, multiple fetuses, and having breech or transverse fetal presentations were related to having higher risks of CS. The most common medical indication for CSs (52.3%) was a history of previous CSs. Robson Group 5 contributed the most (50.7%) to the overall CS rate, with the highest absolute contribution of 21.8%. Group 10 and Group 8 were the second and third highest contributors to the overall CS rate, with relative contributions of 25.3% and 9.0%, respectively. Conclusions: Findings revealed the substandard quality of obstetric data and a noticeably high overall CS rate. The top priority should be given to improving the quality of medical records. It underscored the necessity of implementing the Robson classification system as a standard clinical practice to enhance data quality, which helps to effectively evaluate and monitor the CS rates in obstetric populations. Significance: Caesarean section rates are increasing worldwide, and the Robson Classification System is recommended by the WHO to evaluate and monitor the CS rates. This study is the first to use Robson classifications and revealed high CS rates in specific subgroups of the obstetric population. The inadequate, substandard data quality highlighted the areas that urgently needed improvement in clinical practices at the largest state hospital. The study lays the foundation for further nationwide studies and demonstrates the importance of the Robson classification system. Specific recommendations were provided to the hospital management for improving the quality of the obstetric data and monitoring CS rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

الوصف: Background: Understanding health-seeking behaviors and determining factors help governments to adequately allocate and manage existing health resources. The aim of the study was to examine the health-seeking behaviors of people in using public and private health facilities and to assess the factors that influence healthcare utilization in Northern Cyprus. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 polyclinics among 507 people using a structured intervieweradministered questionnaire. Health-seeking behaviors were measured using four indicators including routine medical check-ups, preferences of healthcare facilities, admission while having health problems, and refusal of health services while ill. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done to explore factors influencing the use of health services. Results: About 77.3% of the participants reported to have visited health centers while they had any health problems. More than half (51.7%) of them had a routine medical check-up during the previous year, while 12.2% of them had refused to seek healthcare when they felt ill during the last five years. Of all, 39.1% of them reported preferring private health services. Current smokers (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=1.92, 95% CI: 1.17-3.14), having chronic diseases (AOR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.95-2.16), having poor perceptions on health (AOR=2.33; 95% CI: 1.563.48), and spending less on health during the last three months (AOR=2.08, 95% CI: 1.43- 3.01) had about twice the odds of having routine checkups. Higher education (AOR=1.87, 95% CI: 1.38-2.55) was shown to be a positive predictor for the health-seeking behaviors, whereas having self-care problems (AOR=0.18, 95% CI: 0.08-0.40) and having a moderate-income (AOR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.57-0.81) were inversely associated with seeking healthcare. Conclusion: The utilization of public and private health sectors revealed evident disparities in the socio-economic characteristics of participants. The health-seeking behaviors were determined by need ...

الوصف: WOS: 000444902000001 ; PubMed ID: 30219057 ; Background: Informing the individuals on family planning including emergency contraception is a significant step for preventing unintended pregnancies. Although there is a number of studies on family planning and emergency contraception globally and in Turkey, no such data are available in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and perceptions on family planning and emergency contraception of the first year students of an international medical school in Nicosia, Northern Cyprus and to increase awareness for developing new policies on the issue. Methods: The data of this cross-sectional study were collected in February 2016 by a questionnaire of 36 questions. Of the 229 students, 189 (82.5%) completed the questionnaire. The data were evaluated by SPSS 18.0 statistical program. The differences of variables were evaluated by Chi square test, p < 0.05 being accepted as significant. Results: The distribution of participants from 23 countries according to nationality revealed three leading countries: Nigeria, Turkey and Syria. Of the students, 53.6% knew the definition of family planning. The sources of information were mainly school, the internet and media, with a total of 60.9% of the participants who stated having prior information on the subject. Awareness of contraceptive methods was indicated by more than 90% and emergency contraception by 66.1% of the participants. However, the students were unable to differentiate between modern and traditional family planning methods; 85.6% did not have knowledge of the most effective period for emergency contraception and 63.1%, of the definition of emergency contraceptive pills. Conclusions: In conclusion, the knowledge and awareness level of the first year medical students on family planning and emergency contraception was insufficient Family planning and emergency contraception education should be provided for the students at the first year of all faculties as well ...

الوصف: Recent healthcare reform in Turkey aims at achieving universal coverage with the introduction of General Health Insurance (GHI). As part of GHI, the state assumes the provision of health insurance coverage to those unable to afford the public health insurance premiums conditional on a means-testing procedure where the official threshold is set as one-third of the gross minimum wage. This article aims at exploring in Turkey the prevalence of non-take up of means-tested health insurance for the poor and the consequent financial burdens for those poor segments outside the coverage. Based upon Statistics of Income and Living Conditions micro data, the non-take-up rate is estimated to be around 44%, where the prevalence of non-take-up is lower yet still high, i.e. around 30%, for households with very low incomes as well as those with elderly or ill members. The results from a separate health expenditure survey on urban poor, which is specifically designed and implemented by the authors, reveal that poor households without health insurance coverage are faced with significant out-of-pocket expenditures. About 5% of those households without coverage were found to have inpatient expenditures that exceeded 20% of their annual disposable household income. Also, among the households without coverage but with at least one inpatient visit over the last two years, the median expenditure was reported as high as 8% of the annual household income as opposed to 0% median value for those with GHI. The results highlight that a large proportion of poor population still lacks public health insurance despite the overarching aim of universal coverage. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

الوصف: BACKGROUND: The objective was to assess the knowledge level, attitude, and practice of health care workers towards standard precautions, and to identify the related factors. Furthermore, it was attempted to identify the proportion of having the experience of needle stick injuries (NSIs) and associated factors among participants. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a teaching hospital among 233 health workers using a self-administrated questionnaire. The questionnaire included eight knowledge items, seven practice items, and five attitude items. Based on the mean score of each category, responses were grouped into “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory”. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants 32.95 (SD ± 9.70) and 62.2% of them were women. 57.5% of the staff had a satisfactory level of correct knowledge (>5 correct answers), 37.3% had a satisfactory positive attitude (>3 correct answers), and 30.9% had a satisfactory practice (>3 correct answers) towards standard precautions. The occupation was one of the predictors as doctors were less likely to have satisfactory knowledge and practice compared to nurses (OR = 0.269, 95% CI: 0.10–0.70 and OR = 0.248, 95% CI: 0.08–0.77, respectively). Out of 174 participants, 31.6% of them reported experiencing NSIs and support staff were 71% less likely to experience NSIs compared to nurses & paramedics. CONCLUSION: The findings revealed a substandard adherence of standard precautions among participants, which highlighted the necessity of the provision of a periodic, tailored training program based on the occupation and risk exposure.
