Provider verbal disrespect in the provision of family planning in public-sector facilities in Western Kenya
Public-sector healthcare providers in low- and middle-income countries are a primary source of family planning but their disrespectful (i.e., demeaning or insulting) treatment of family planning clients may impede free contraceptive choice. The construct of disrespect and abuse has been widely applied to similar phenomena in maternity care and could help to better understand provider mistreatment of family planning clients. With a focus on public…
Frequency and impact of long wait times for family planning in public-sector healthcare facilities in Western Kenya
BACKGROUND: Long wait times for family planning services are a barrier to high quality care and client satisfaction. Existing literature examining family planning wait times has methodological limitations, as most studies use data collected during exit interviews, which are subject to recall, courtesy, and selection bias. OBJECTIVE: We sought to employ a mixed methods approach to capture the prevalence, length, causes, and impacts of wait times f…
Absenteeism among family planning providers
Public-sector healthcare providers are on the frontline of family planning service delivery in low- and middle-income countries like Kenya, yet research suggests public-sector providers are frequently absent. The current prevalence of absenteeism in Western Kenya, as well as the impact on family planning clients, is unknown. The objective of this paper is to quantify the prevalence of public-sector healthcare provider absenteeism in this region o…
Findings from a mixed-methods journey map study of barriers to family planning in western Kenya
Our objective was to map and prioritize barriers to high-quality family planning care in western Kenya. We conducted key informant interviews ( n = 19); focus group discussions with clients ( n = 55); mystery client visits ( n = 180); unannounced visitors ( n = 120); and direct observation of client-provider interactions ( n = 256) at public facilities offering family planning. We synthesized the data into a client and a provider journey map, whi…
Associations Between Perceived Susceptibility to Pregnancy and Contraceptive Use in a National Sample of Women Veterans
Identifying and addressing fertility misperceptions among women with low perceived susceptibility to pregnancy could help promote informed decision making about contraception and reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy
Abortion providers, professional identity, and restrictive laws
Most studies on the impact of restrictive abortion laws have focused on patient-level outcomes. To better understand how such laws affect providers, we conducted a qualitative study of 27 abortion providers working under a restrictive law in North Carolina. Providers derived professional identity from their motivations, values, and experiences of pride related to abortion provision. The law affected their professional identities by perpetuating n…
