393	The utilisation of routine statistical data submitted to the Department of Health by local authority primary health care clinics in Kwazulu Natal Fetter, Helen Ann Robertson 11 1900 (has links) The collection and utilisation of statistical data is an integral component of rendering primary health care services. This study aimed to assess the utilisation of statistics on certain statistical forms submitted regularly to the Department of Health, by professional nurses at local authority primary health care clinics. Results revealed the following important shortcomings: • Statistics on different forms are viewed in isolation, resulting in a lack of necessary comparisons being made to determine trends. • Several targeted issues in the Reconstruction and Development Programme received insufficient attention, for example, immunisations, teenage pregnancies, tuberculosis treatment, sexually transmitted diseases. • A general managerial inability to analyse, display and utilise collected data by professional nurses. Recommendations centred around increasing the knowledge regarding maternal health care, more focus on prioritised areas of the Reconstruction and Development Programme, appropriate training regarding analysis and utilisation of collected statistics at local primary health care level. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing) Primary health care Health status Helalth information systems Health status indicators Epidemiological statistics Family planning Immunisation Tuberculosis Protein energy malnutrition Antenatal care Sexually transmitted diseases AIDS Maternal health Child health 616.021

396	Factors contributing to high adolescent pregnancy rate in Kinondoni municipality, Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania Philemon, Margareth Nkuba 30 November 2007 (has links) This study seeks to describe the factors contributing to high adolescent pregnancy rate in Kinondoni Municipality, Dar-es-Salaam. Through the study we get to know the social economic characteristics of adolescents, the adolescents' general knowledge of reproductive health issues and the source of this knowledge. The major discoveries made from this study are that the educational status and knowledge of reproductive health of these adolescents is low, some are already dropouts from school, and others were deprived of the chance to continue with secondary education. They have nothing tangible to do because of their low education and coupled with their low economic status, they are at risk of being involved in sexual activities at an early age, ending in pregnancies. In addition, their parents' educational and economic status was also found to be low. It is important then, parents, teachers and the community in general to arrest the rate of adolescent pregnancies. / HEALTH STUDIES / MA (HEALTH STUDIES) reproductive health issues Adolescent pregnancy sexuality 362.839209678 Birth control--Tanzania--Dar-es-Salaam
