摘要:

Study of cancer mortality over a IS-year period in Oregon's second largest metropolitan area revealed that there was a significant excess of cancer mortality among housewives, whether calculated by separate estimation of housewife population at risk or by assumption that housewives included all women unemployed or not in the labor force. The excess was significant for those cancer sites generally the most frequent among all women, particularly breast, ovary, colon, lung, uterine corpus, stomach, and lymphomas. The size and importance of this occupation category indicate the need for further investigation. The demographic definition of homemaker requires further attention to develop more reliable estimates.

摘要:

Mild, benign postpartum depression is an often overlooked aspect of the birth process. This study investigated the prevalence, symptomatology, and attending risk factors of mild postpartum depression. Utilizing a self-rating index of depression results from 108 women indicated an overall prevalence rate of 84%, with 21% of the respondents having developed a relatively severe depression. Some of the more frequently encountered symptoms included tiredness, insomnia, irritability, and unprecipitated, episodic crying. Such characteristics as education, maternal age, parity, employment status, enrollment in prenatal classes, and husband's assistance in the home were examined for their relationship to postpartum depression. Using the Chi-square statistical test, significant relationships were found between postpartum depression and both maternal age and the amount of assistance in the home by the husband. These two factors were also found to be important relative to other variables using stepwise regression. In addition, results of the regression analysis indicated that prior expectations of depression and age spread between a woman's oldest and youngest child are associated with the depression syndrome. Other results illustrate the flow of such medical information in that a majority of women became aware of the syndrome by reading about it, while the least common source of information was their physician.

摘要:

Fifty-four of the 55 New York City maternity services in operation as of January 1, 1978 responded to a questionnaire eliciting information as to the availability of certain familysentered care practices. The larger maternity units, especially those in which more than 2,000 live births occur annually, were noted to have a higher prevalence and greater extent of family-centered care activities than the smaller units. Although size alone cannot be isolated as the critical factor in this analysis, its association with other factors helps explain the differences observed.

摘要:

A questionnaire assessing college women's experiences with and attitudes towards pelvic examinations was mailed to every 20th woman registered at Colorado State University in 1977. The response rate was, 76% (N = 254). Of the respondents, 17% had never had a pelvic examination, and most of these women expressed apprehension about the exam. Of those with examination experience, most respondents had had fewer than five exams (mean age at first exam = 17.95 years), were sexually active, were now obtaining examinations routinely, and had had their first examination for preponderantly nonpathologic reasons. Attitudes towards the examination were mixed, with respondents disagreeing on their preference for particular elements of the examination situation. These results are presented in the context of attacks on gynecologic practice offered by the women's health movement, women practitioners, sexual counselors, lesbians, and some gynecologists. It is argued that objective data regarding experiences and attitudes must be collected before recommendations for change can be made. The present data suggest a great need for disseminating information concerning the pelvic examination to young women.
