Abstract
The
primary
objectives
of this
study
are to
determine
patient
perceptions
of
clinical
service
and
needs
for
family
planning.
The
need
to
focus
on these
perspectives
derived
from an
examination
of the
International
and
National
Family
Planning
programs.
A
summary
of these
programs
is
presented
, and the
history
of the
development
of
birth
control
and the
family
planning
clinic
in
St.
John's
is
discussed.
-
The
data
was
collected
from
one
hundred
and
forty-two
women
who
came
into the
family
planning
clinic
in
St.
John's
seeking
family
planning
services.
Each
of these
patients
agreed
to
participate
in an
informal
interview
and
consented
to
fill
out
a
formal
questionnaire
which
focused
on
specific
areas
such
as
clinic
accessibility
,
atmosphere
of
service
,
patient
expectations
of
service
,
convenience
of
hours
, and
professional
expertise
of
service
given.
-
Case
histories
and
statements
given
by the
patient
were
used
to
illustrate
types
of
problems
encountered
by them in
obtaining
medical
services.
The
role
of the
male
,
discussed
in the
counselling
section
,
established
the
need
for
including
the
male
in
family
planning
but
points
out
the
fact
that
until
very
recently
little
thought
has been
given
to
providing
a
role
to the
male
in
family
planning.
-
Lastly
, the
viability
of the
medical
model
as
compared
with the
client-centered
model
in
providing
a
clinical
family
planning
approach
is
discussed.
Traditionally
,
most
clinics
follow
a
medical
model.
Because
of the
importance
and
time
spent
in the
counselling
role
, a
dual-model
of
family
planning
service
is
proposed.
This
consists
of a
medical
model
for the
technological
aspect
of
family
planning
and a
client-centered
model
for the
counselling
and
patient's
psychological
and
emotional
needs.
-
Recommendations
for
changes
and
directions
in
approaching
family
planning
policy
and
service
in
Newfoundland
are
suggested.
Included
in these
is
the
need
for
Newfoundland/Labrador
to
establish
a
provincial
policy
to
allow
for
long
range
planning
in the
field
of
family
planning.
