ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the current status of prenatal health care(PHC) and its related factors for floating women of childbearing age,and to provide evidence for improving the quality of PHC at childbearing age.Methods With data from the reproductive health survey on floating population in five cities,Beijing,Nanjing,Xiamen,Shenzhen and Chongqing,in 2005,the distributions of PHC among floating women were described.Multivariate logistic regression was performed to investigate the factors related to the utilization of PHC.Results In 5 399 cases of valid questionnaires,4 037 floating women who had the history of pregnant,cases who had or did not have PHC services would account for 75.3％ (3 041/4 037) and 24.7％ (996/4 037),respectively.The initial time of using the PHC service was significantly associated with the level of their education (P＜ 0.05) received.Data from the multivariate logistic regression analysis in PHC showed that there were differences between regions (P＜0.05).Proportions of women receiving PHC among those under 30 years and 30-39 were 4.09-folds (95％ CI:3.11-5.39) and 1.98-folds (95％ CI:1.61-2.43),respectively,when compared with that of women over 40-year-old.The proportion of women having received PHC with education levels of senior high school and above or junior high school,were 5.47-folds (95％CI:3.85-7.77) and 2.86-folds (95％CI:2.42-3.39) respectively,compared to that of women with education level of primary school or below.The proportion of married women having PHC was 2.36-folds (95％CI:1.07-5.22) of those unmarried women.The proportions of having PHC of women with one parity and two parities or with family planning certificate were 3.36-fold (95％CI:2.33-4.84) and 1.61-fold (95％CI:1.12-2.30),1.44-folds (95％CI:1.21-1.71) respectively,when compared with those women with three parities or without the certificate.Conclusion Factors as having received higher education,being married,with less parities or having family planning certificate etc.showed protective effects on PHC for floating women of childbearing age.Based on PHC,education should be promoted among the floating women of childbearing age,which would contribute to the prevention and reduction of adverse outcomes related to reproductive health.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the status of abortion and risk factors among floating women of childbearing age and to provide reference for further improvement of induced abortion services in this population.Methods Data on demography,working,and living conditions as well as the use of contraceptive among 4687 persons from a reproductive health survey regarding floating population in five cities in 2005,were involved,while multivariate logistic regression model was used to find out the relationship.Results The risks of abortion among the younger than 30 age group and the 30-39 age groups were 2.21 times (95％CI:1.47-3.34) and 2.38 times (95％CI:1.53-3.70) of the 40-49 age group,respectively.The higher education degree these women had,the higher the risk of abortion was.The risks of abortion among groups having elementary,junior high,senior high school and above,were 2.15 times (95％CI:1.15-4.03),2.47 times (95％CI:1.33-4.57) and 2.61 times (95％CI:1.34-5.11) of those illiterate women.Those having working experience of 2-4 years,5 years or above at the places where the survey was completed,the risks were 2.62 times (95％CI:1.83-3.76)and 7.78 times (95％CI:5.63-10.75) of the less than 2-year-experienced group.The abortion risk of floating women at childbearing age who were living together with their spouses was 1.49 (95％CI:1.05-2.11) times of those women who were not.Conclusion The demographic and lifestyle as well as working features of floating women at childbearing age might increase their risk of abortion.Providing health education regarding these risk factors on the floating women at childbearing age could effectively reduce and prevent the risk of abortion risk among them.
