Gender and Health: Strategies for Implemention - Seminar Proceedings
(2008)
Department of Health (Ireland)
Abstract:
The recently published National Women's Strategy (NWS) identified the need to incorporate a gender perspective into mainstream health policy, as well as implementing positive action measures to ensure that the health of women in this country is promoted and protected (Government of Ireland, 2007). The strategyalso refers to the importance of gender as a health determinant and the recognition by the Health Service Executive of the need to work in partnership with the Women's Health Council (WHC) to develop gender mainstreaming in the planning and delivery of its services (HSE, 2005).

Abstract:
Appropriate, factual information about cervical cancer, cervical screening and for strategies and educational resources to increasing client participation in cervical screening programs. Methods: Fifty-eight community health workers from throughout Queensland who were involved in providing information to women about cervical cancer and cervical screening, completed a questionnaire to assess the context within which they work; the information they provide to clients; their perceived needs for information; their awareness, and use of existing resources, their opinions of the usefulness of these resources and their beliefs about the content and presentation of materials that would be useful in an educational resource on cervical cancer screening. Results: The results indicated that few workers appeared to be aware of the broad range of resources currently available to assist them in the conducting of education and recruitment activities.

Perspectives On The Provision Of Counselling For Women In Ireland

Perspectives On The Provision Of Counselling For Women In Ireland
(2002)
Department of Health (Ireland)
Abstract:
The last decade has seen a growing interest in attention to womenâ?Ts health, including womenâ?Ts mental health. Women are the most frequent users of the health services and are more likely to present with mental health issues, most notably depression and anxiety (Breslau et al., 1995). During the consultative process for the Plan for Womenâ?Ts Health (1997-1999) the health services were criticised for not responding appropriately to womenâ?Ts mental health needs. Women perceived the services as being primarily concerned with treating mental illness, rather than protecting and promoting mental health. Women specifically requested greateraccess to counselling1 services, located in appropriate physical environments that were not medically orientated. Such counselling should be proactive, attracting clients for whom mental health issues had not developed into more serious problems. These services would help them to develop coping skills and assertiveness.  Download document ...

Psychologic distress in women with abnormal findings in mass mammography screening
(1999)
John B. Lowe Dr. PH; Kevin P Balanda Ph.D; Christopher Del Mar MB BChir; Ellen Hawes B.A
Abstract:
This study was conducted to explore the psychologic morbidity of women recalled for diagnostic assessment during population-based mammographic screening.This study prospectively attempted to measure physical, social, and emotional well-being by the administration of a questionnaire before screening, at the time of recall; and 1 month later to women recalled and matched women with those not recalled.Of the 224 women who were recalled for further diagnostic assessment and their matches, complete follow-up was obtained on 182 pairs (81.3%). In contrast to those women not recalled, recalled women exhibited increased levels of concern at the time of recall. These levels had not decreased to the initial level after 1 month, even though breast carcinoma was not diagnosed. Similar negative short term effects also were evident in the areas of physical well-being, social functioning, and anxiety and insomnia levels, although these were not sustained.Women with normal results after mass mammog...

WHO health topic: women's health.
(2011)
World Health Organization (WHO)
Abstract:
Being a man or a woman has a significant impact on health, as a result of both biological and gender-related differences. The health of women and girls is of particular concern because, in many societies, they are disadvantaged by discrimination rooted in sociocultural factors. For example, women and girls face increased vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Some of the sociocultural factors that prevent women and girls to benefit from quality health services and attaining the best possible level of health include: * unequal power relationships between men and women; * social norms that decrease education and paid employment opportunities; * an exclusive focus on women’s reproductive roles; and * potential or actual experience of physical, sexual and emotional violence. While poverty is an important barrier to positive health outcomes for both men and women, poverty tends to yield a higher burden on women and girls’ health due to, for example, feeding ...

Women - The Picture of Health Report
(1999)
Department of Health (Ireland)
Abstract:
This review describes the extent of research on women's health in Ireland and assesses its adequacy as a basis for policy. Distinguishing between data collection and data analysis as components of research, the findings of the review could be summarised thus: there are some areas of womenâ?Ts health on which we do not have any data; in other areas data are collected but the data collection methods need to be gender proofed to ensure they are capable of revealing accurately the situation regarding women Download the Report here
