“…It refers to a person's perception of the effectiveness of various actions available to reduce the threat of illness. Able to perceive the treatment may improve physical and psychological health, enhance the quality of life, and be sure about the health state may facilitate health-seeking behaviour among men (Jahangir et al, 2020;Jolles et al, 2019).…”

“…Some cannot take time off work or work with no paid sick leave; this means they will lose their source of income for that day. Men who delay help-seeking commonly have conflicting responsibilities and demands within their help-seeking accounts (Donne et al, 2018;Fish et al, 2019;Jahangir et al, 2020;Lim et al, 2019;Phiri et al, 2021;Valdez et al, 2018). Income and financial condition would determine the treatment-seeking behaviour of an individual.…”

“…Besides that, the state of health facilities, such as overcrowding, lack of privacy, long waiting times, gender of clinicians, lengthy treatment procedures, and linguistic barriers, can prevent health-seeking. Those in the rural area find it is difficult to access health services because of limited numbers of facilities and operation working hours, long distances, and limited medication supply (Fish et al, 2019;Jahangir et al, 2020;Lim et al, 2019;Phiri et al, 2021).…”

Gender equality between males and females is a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that the nation must address. However, compared to women, the health status of men lags. The objectives are to describe and summarize the factors influencing men's health-seeking behaviour in various health problems from published literature. Methods: The literature search was performed using online databases in Scopus, Web of Science and ScienceDirect. Findings: In a total of 22 studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria, the factors identified were predisposing factors (socio-demographic, health belief), enabling factors (healthcare services and facilities, alternative medicine, social support), and need factors (perceived need).

“…In Nepal, nursing staff are females only (since 2020, males are also allowed to study nursing program). Culturally, Nepali women feel more comfortable sharing reproductive health needs with the nursing cadre, especially reproductive and maternal newborn and child health services [ 75 ]. Evidence suggests women across South Asia prefer nursing staff and female physicians compared to male health providers [ 72 , 76 ].…”

Utilisation of quality antenatal, delivery and postnatal care services in Nepal: An analysis of Service Provision Assessment

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Nepal has improved access and utilisation of routine maternal and newborn health (MNH) services. Despite improved access to routine MNH services such as antenatal care (ANC), and delivery and postnatal care (PNC) services, the burden of maternal and neonatal deaths in Nepal remains high. Most of those deaths could be prevented by improving utilisation of evidence-informed clinical MNH interventions. However, little is known on determinants of utilisation of such clinical MNH interventions in health facilities (HFs). This study investigated the determinants of utilisation of technical quality MNH services in Nepal. Methods This study used data from the 2015 Nepal Services Provision Assessment. A total of 523 pregnant and 309 postpartum women were included for the analysis of utilisation of technical quality of ANC, and delivery and PNC services, respectively. Outcome variables were utilisation of better quality i) ANC services, and ii) delivery and PNC services while independent variables included features of HFs and health workers, and demographic characteristics of pregnant and postpartum women. Binomial logistic regression was conducted to identify the determinants associated with utilisation of quality MNH services. The odds ratio with 95% confidence interval (CIs) were reported at the significance level of p < 0.05 (two-tailed). Results Women utilised quality ANC services if they attended facilities with better HF capacity (aOR = 2.12;95% CI: 1.03, 4.35). Women utilised better quality delivery and PNC services from private HFs compared to public HFs (aOR = 2.63; 95% CI: 1.14, 6.08). Women utilised better technical quality ANC provided by nursing staff compared to physicians (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) =2.89; 95% CI: 1.33, 6.29), and from staff supervised by a higher authority compared to those not supervised (aOR = 1.71; 95% CI: 1.01, 2.92). However, compared to province one, women utilised poor quality delivery and PNC services from HFs in province two (aOR = 0.15; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.63). Conclusions Women utilised quality MNH services at facilities with better HF capacity, service provided by nursing staff, and attended at supervised HFs/health workers. Provincial and municipal governments require strengthening HF capacities (e.g., supply equipment, medicines, supplies), recruiting trained nurse-midwives, and supervising health workers.

"It's for sure conscious that we stay central": Barriers in Accessing Preventive Resources for Chlamydia among Youth in Southwest Calgary

Chlamydia is the most commonly reported notifiable infection among youth (15-24 years) in Alberta. However, controlling infections has been challenging for Calgary, which has the youngest population of major cities in Canada. Health reports indicate that despite the high chlamydia incidence among youth, they are not using preventive resources as expected, thus the need to examine the barriers in accessing such resources among youth in Southwest Calgary. The researcher postulated that there are spatial dimensions to the social barriers to accessing preventive resources, and that social and spatial factors work synchronously to hinder access.Opinions about the potential impact of social media dating applications on sexual activities are also examined. Data collection, which was guided by a Social Ecological Model, followed an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design. In-depth interviews were conducted with 23 youth and 4 service providers. Thereafter, a survey of the barriers was conducted with a sample of 382 youth. Thematic and descriptive statistical analytical methods were used to examine qualitative and quantitative data respectively. Geospatial analyses of the patterns of facility non-use and the spatial distribution of barriers were also conducted. Although 79.8% of youth had heard about a preventive resource, only 41.4% had used any resource before. The principal barriers reported were stigma, intimidating healthcare spaces, and uneasiness accessing resources. There was an inverse relationship between geographic distance and access for the communities on the extreme western segment of the study site.The efficacious combination of qualitative, quantitative, and geospatial analytical methods to examine the barriers to sexual health resources among youth is an indication of the practicality of merging traditional qualitative and quantitative methods with geospatial methods to community health inquiries. Lastly, 44.5% of survey participants agreed that social media dating applications influenced sexual activities to a very great extent, thereby providing additional evidence to inform the ongoing social media-sexual health discourse in the health geography and public health arena.
