Methods Cross-sectional study, Heinemann et al. [1] developed the Attitudes Toward Health Care Teams Scale (ATHCTS, 21-item instrument), which has potential for evaluating clinically based team training programs as well as use a pre- and post-test tool for educational interventions with teams. A 14-item instrument in which items containing the word “physician” have been removed from the original instrument is a modified version adapted by Curran et al. [2] to measure attitudes towards health care teams. Results In total, 249 I grade and 243 III grade undergraduate students participated in the study, respectively. Response rates by academic units of the undergraduate students were NS 88.3% (n=223), MD 39.0% (n=193), PT 53.8% (n=29), LS 42.0%(n=47), respectively. As shown in Table 1, comparisons using the Mann-Whitney test indicated that in mean scores of seven items, item 1 (3.83±1.169 vs 4.38±0.854, P<0.0001), item 3 (3.97±1.167 vs 4.43±0.702, p<0.05), item 4 (3.99±1.163 vs 4.61±0.62, P<0.0001), item 13 (3.5±1.164 vs 4.11±0.946, P<0.001), 1 st year students showed significantly lower scores than 3 rd year undergraduate students. Conclusion The present results showed that students possessed more positive attitudes toward IPE than I years undergraduate students, suggesting that exposure to clinical practice may result in withdrawal of the attitudes toward healthcare teams.","PeriodicalId":92369,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of reproductive medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45569250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Obstetrics we rely on the cardiotocograph as a non-invasive tool for detecting fetal hypoxia. However, since its introduction in 1960 the CTG has failed to reduce the rate of hypoxia-induced perinatal morbidity and mortality. The recent Each Baby Counts report indicates that 62% of stillbirths, neonatal deaths, and brain injuries of term babies in labour in 2015 were related to errors in CTG interpretation and management. This carries a significant financial burden as recent figures from the National Health Service Litigation Authority (NHSLA) show that Obstetrics makes up 50% of the total value of negligence claims in the UK.","PeriodicalId":92369,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of reproductive medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46359671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

African societies in particular, at various degrees, have an understanding of sexual relationship as a sacrosanct factor to the image of a group, and a respectable phenomenon which every member of the group must adhere to the rules guiding them. However, the era of culture contact has left an indelible mark on the understanding and perception of sexual relationship among the African societies. This paper analyses the trends in the perception of sex and sexual relationship among the African societies, in the face of cultural globalization using, the available Ethnographic literatures and other emerging issues. Though the wave of cultural globalization is so enormous to have sunk the ships of most African Traditional Cultures, the paper suggested a common ground for the accommodation of the concept of sex and sexual relationship between the African Traditional Culture and the emerging global culture.","PeriodicalId":92369,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of reproductive medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44464043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We conducted a facility-based survey in five family planning clinics in Ghana’s two largest cities. Women were interviewed before and after their family planning counseling session. In the pre-visit interview, women were asked both the method they most preferred, as well as method characteristics which appealed to them. In the post-visit interview, they were asked which method they were leaving with, if they received the method they most preferred, and how satisfied they were to be leaving with their method. A series of bivariate logistic regressions were performed to assess factors associated with certain method preference and adoption. Results: A total of 337 women were interviewed and able to be linked pre- and post-visit. Most of the participants (54.1%, n=482) stated a preference for a long acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) method (either an implant (40.7%, n=137) or an IUD (13.4%, n=45)), while a sizable minority of the participants stated a preference for an injectable (32.3%, n=109). Only 5% (n=17) participants said they did not know which method they preferred. In bivariate logistic regression analysis, older and married women and those with higher education were more likely to want the IUD, while unmarried and younger women preferred the injection. Women who wanted a method that would protect them for multiple years showed preference for the IUD and the implant, while women who wanted pregnancy protection for a few months and those who did not want a method which requires a visit to the clinic to stop using preferred the injection. Conclusion: Our study participants were most likely to want, and receive, a LARC method, mainly the implant. These participants have strong preferences, which are generally being met. Further work should investigate whether women who receive their preferred method are more likely to continue using the method than those who do not.","PeriodicalId":92369,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of reproductive medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45180915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
