. Increased use of modern contraceptives requires community-wide and multifaceted interventions that aim at countering negative perceptions about modern methods.
Objectives: Medical abortion is definitely a safer and a better option but in developing countries, its widespread misuse has led to partial or septic abortion thereby increasing maternal mortality and morbidity. The study was carried out to analyze the use and misuse of abortion pill and to analyze the factors responsible for avoiding the government facilities. Methods: The study included all female patients who visited the rural health centre of our institute with pre-tested questionnaire, designed in a manner to obtain the qualitative information regarding their attitude towards the abortion services, use of medical methods of abortion and the current contraceptive practices among them. At the end of study, the data was compiled systematically and was subjected to statistical analysis with simple non parametric tests and the value of P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: Only 49.62% of the patients had complete abortion while rest was reported with incomplete (41.54%), septic (6.54%) or failed abortion (1.15%) or ectopic pregnancy (1.15%). Local dais (36.55%) and pharmacists (29.61) were the main channels of procurement of pills used for medical abortion. Non-availability of medical methods (65.38%) and compulsion for the accompanied contraception (35%) were the most commonly cited reasons for avoiding government sector facilities. Conclusions: The low level of awareness, education and misuse of medical methods of abortion are responsible for converting a safe abortion into an unsafe practice. We suggest for an urgent need for strict legislations by the government to regulate the supply of drugs used for medical abortion.
Background:Motivation of health workers is necessary to generate the organizational commitment towards the patients and the hospital and therefore the knowledge about what motivates and satisfies them is very essential.The aim of the project was to investigate and analyze the various factors that help in motivation of the health workers while performing their clinical duties in the hospital.Materials and Methods:A simple random study was conducted among 100 employees of our institute, which included doctors, staff nurses and paramedical staff. One hundred employees from Gian Sagar Institute were chosen randomly for the purpose of our study. All the employees were enquired by the questionnaire method as well as by individual interviews regarding the various motivating and demotivating factors at the work place. Detailed enquiries were performed regarding the various aspects concerning the job factors and work satisfaction. All the answers and findings were observed and recorded.Results:Statistical Analysis Used: Simple non-parametric tests like mean, percentages and chi square tests were employed to analyze the data.The demographic profile of all the employees showed only minor differences which were statistically non-significant. Skills, task identity, task significance, autonomy, feedback, environment, job security and compensation were observed to be the important factors for the motivation of employees. The depth and the extent to which these factors were studied at work in the hospital showed remarkable differences.Conclusion:All the factors studied in this project are essential basis for organizational commitment, but feedback represents the factor with the highest motivation potential especially among the younger population.
