Women’s Awareness of Their Contraceptive Benefits Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates that there be no out-of-pocket cost for Food and Drug Administration–approved contraceptive methods. Among 987 privately insured reproductive aged Pennsylvania women, fewer than 5% were aware that their insurance covered tubal sterilization, and only 11% were aware that they had full coverage for an intrauterine device.

Primary Care Physicians’ Perceptions of Barriers To Preventive Reproductive Health Care In Rural Communities
Rural women's low use of contraceptive and preconception care services may reflect that preventive reproductive health care is not a priority in rural communities, rather than that it is inaccessible. Efforts to motivate rural women to engage in reproductive life planning, including more proactive counseling by providers, merit examination as ways to improve use of services

Physician gender and the physician-patient relationship: Recent evidence and relevant questions
The Work-Family Role System and Physician Productivity
Gender differences in married physicians' productivity, measured as total hours devoted to all professional activities per week, are analyzed in a national sample of young obstetrician-gynecologists. Attributes of the physicians'families (including the number of children, the work role of the spouse, and involvement in household responsibilities) are considered in relation to professional productivity. Married men work 7.54 hours more per week th…
Adolescent Women's Contraceptive Decision Making
A modified rational decision model incorporating salient events and social influences (particularly from sexual partners) is used to analyze adolescent women's consistent use of oral contraceptives (OCs) over a six-month period. Data are taken from a panel study of 308 clients of an inner-city family planning clinic. Expected OC use was computed for each subject on the basis of subjective expected utility (SEU) theory, and is found in multivariat…

Mental Health Status Among Rural Women of Reproductive Age: Findings From the Central Pennsylvania Women’s Health Study
Objectives. We sought to examine variables associated with mental health among rural women of reproductive age, with particular attention given to rural area type and farm residence. Methods. We analyzed data from the Central Pennsylvania Women’s Health Study, which included a random-digit-dialed survey of women aged 18 to 45 years. Hierarchical multiple linear and logistic regression models were estimated to predict 3 mental health outcomes: sco…

United States health professionals in international health work
This article reports results of a survey of 1,257 potential employers of US health professionals overseas, interviews with informants in international health, an analysis of career patterns of a small group of international health workers, and a review of numbers of health professionals trained in schools of public health for international health work. There are approximately 9,000 US health professionals in the international health field. Doctor…
Black and White Self-Esteem: The Urban School Child
Sex Differences in Response to a Blocked Career Pathway Among Unaccepted Medical School Applicants
Sex differences in career aspirations and behavior following unsuccessful application to medical school are examined. Findings from a 1972 national study indicate that, despite similar academic qualifications and initial career aspirations, women are less persistent than men in reapplying to medical school, more likely than men to lower their educational aspirations following rejection, and less likely than men to enroll in doctoral degree progra…
Unaccepted Applicants to Medical School as a Health Resource
The career decisions of national samples of male and female unaccepted applicants to the 1971-72 entering U.S. medical school class are studied in order to determine whether the increasing number of unaccepted applicants is a potential manpower pool for alternative health occupations. The dominant response to rejection among respondents is reapplication to medical school in subsequent years, and the principal determinant of reapplication is recei…
Determinants of Hospital Staff Nurse Turnover
Organizational and nonorganizational determinants of staff nurse turnover are investigated in a panel study of 1,259 nurses employed in two university-affiliated hospitals. Findings are consistent with a causal chain in which perceived autonomy, job satisfaction, intent to leave the hospital and turnover are a sequence of outcomes reflecting the successive stages of a nurse's decision to resign. Both personal characteristics and job-related attri…
Evaluating Primary Nursing in Hospitals: Examination of Effects on Nursing Staff
Despite widespread support in the nursing literature for the adoption of primary nursing as the optimal method of organizing hospital nursing care, little empirical evidence exists as to its effects on patients or nursing staff. This study compares units that have employed primary nursing for at least five months (N = 31) with nonprimary units (N = 20) in two large university-affiliated hospitals. Comparisons are made with respect to structural a…

Professional Satisfaction and Client Outcomes: A Comparative Organizational Analysis
In studies of the effectiveness of health care organizations, the job satisfaction level of professional staff is often viewed as an "outcome," since providing a climate that satisfies participants' needs is one aspect of organizational effectiveness. Staff satisfaction, however, has not been linked with outcomes associated with clients. In this article, the authors examine the relationship between the aggregate job satisfaction level of nursing …

Malpractice Claims Experience Associated With Fertility-Control Services Among Young Obstetrician-Gynecologists
Threatened and actual medical malpractice claims associated with delivery of fertility-control services are studied in a national sample of 1,420 recently trained obstetrician-gynecologists who had been in practice an average of 3 years at the time of the survey. Nine percent of respondents report having been threatened with a fertility-control-related lawsuit, and 5.5% report being named as a defendant in such a suit. The types of services named…
Specialty Differences in Physiciansʼ Recommendations in Relation to Womenʼs Pap Testing Behavior
Using data from a survey of internists, family and general practitioners, and obstetricians and gynecologists, and of women in Maryland, this article examines congruence between physicians' recommendations and women's Papanicolaou (Pap) testing behavior. Both the specialty of the physicians and the age of the women are considered. The majority of all three physician specialties recommended annual Pap tests for all their patients. However, the int…
Practice Changes in Response to the Malpractice Litigation Climate: Results of a Maryland Physician Survey
Data from a 1987 survey of Maryland physicians in three specialties (internal medicine, family or general practice, and obstetrics-gynecology) were used to study the types of changes physicians have made in their practices during the last 2 years as a result of the current malpractice litigation climate. Overall, 51% reported making some type of practice change. The practice changes that physicians reported reflect both risk-reduction (e.g., incr…

Cervical cancer screening in hospitals: The efficacy of legislation in Maryland
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of the study was to examine the efficacy of a Maryland law requiring Pap testing to be offered during hospital admissions. "In-reach" strategies emphasize cancer screening within existing health care contacts (such as inpatient stays) rather than additional visits solely for screening. METHODS. Data from a 1986 telephone survey of Maryland women were used to examine the effect of hospitalization on self-reported Pap testin…
The Effects of Unit Self-Management on Hospital Nursesʼ Work Process, Work Satisfaction, and Retention
A number of innovative practice models have been introduced in an effort to resolve the hospital nursing shortage and improve the working conditions and retention of registered nurses. This study examines the effects of a unit-level self-management model (including salaried compensation and gainsharing) in a number of clinical areas at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. In comparisons of nurses on self-managed and traditional nurs…
