The single strongest factor was providers giving biomedical and technical information. The qualitative analysis of audiotapes found that most of clients' questions concern contraceptive side effects and symptoms. The next category social talk, consisted largely of greetings. Most of the providers (87.6 %) are women. The results show that providers dominate most counselling session and clients rarely take on active role.

The aim of this study is to investigate women's preferences regarding the gender of the team that provides health care in gynecology and obstetrics, and to find out the factors affecting their preferences. The data of this research were collected from 3 hospitals and 14 small health units. and t tests were used for the statistical evaluation of the data. The study participants are 324 females at the age of 15 to 49, who consulted any of the family planning units of the hospitals or health centers for a family planning method or for the continuation of the method they were already using. 388 participants (49 in the informed group and 339 in the uninformed group) responded to the questions in the questionnaire related with the process of pregnancy and birth. Two hundred forty two (74.69 %) of the counselees that participated in our study preferred female physicians/counselors. 160 patients (47.2%) who were among the uninformed group and preferred the same-sex health staff for medical care and 16 patients (32.6 %) who were among the informed group and expressed the same preference reported that females would understand them better and they would be more comfortable with female physicians. Culture affects not only our perceptions, values and feelings but also our communication with ourselves and other individuals. As a result, taboo communication is experienced between health care team and the patient in the field of gynecology and obstetrics. In the provision of family planning counseling services, counselees prefer female counselors because they have good communication skills. Patients prefer female physicians due to their pregnancy and birth experiences, too.

Patient safety and prevention of medical errors in every stage of health services is among the priorities of health system. Measures taken for prevention of medical errors in patient safety, one of the most important in care quality for health services, are the basis of patient safety. Information, skill and behavior increasing the degree of patient safety and making learning from errors easier can be gained through both training of health professionals and patient. Today, patient education focused on accurate application of treatment aims firstly for providing patient and patient family with accurate decision ability on care and taking responsibilities. Patient education helps patient with learning and understanding of his/her diagnosis and treatment, gaining active self-care attitude, and getting rid of feeling “weakness” due to illness. This process, in which effective and observable changes in patient behaviors are aimed, is not limited to inpatient treatment, but continuous. Patient education is not limited to patient health, but also includes increasing health care quality. Patient’s healthcare expense get less and less proportionally as hospitalization time gets closer to end. Importance of patient education, financing of which is so profitable, increases more and more today.
