Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2005) Monsupa Komolchan; Sanya Patrachai; Somsak Suthutvoravut; Vajira SinghakajenThe objectives of this analytical observational research were to study the characteristics of women who underwent postpartum and interval female sterilization and the trend of female sterilization at Ramathiboidi hospital. Data was collected from the records of women who underwent sterilization at Ramathiboidi hospital. There were a total of 734 women, 635 who were sterilized during postpartum period and 99 who were sterilized when they were not pregnant nor after delivery (interval sterilization). The descriptive statistics used in this study were frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Student t - test was used for hypothesis testing of association. The results of the study showed that the characteristic of women, who underwent postpartum and interval sterilization were different. There was statistically significant association (p < 0.05) with the age of women , the number of parities, number of living children , number of daughters , and medical diseases. Women of postpartum sterilization were lower in age and history of medical diseases but higher in number of parities, number of living children , number of daughters. Duration of operation was significantly less in cases of postpartum sterilization than in interval sterilization. The number of postpartum sterilizations were rather stable during the years of study. On the contrary, number of interval sterilizations decreased during the past 3 years due to changes in policy of the Department of Obstetric -Gynecology. In conclusion, different characteristics of women who underwent postpartum and interval sterilization indicate factors involved in decision making. Thus promotion of female sterilization should be done whenever possible to women who have enough children. Policy of female sterilization should also be stable with continuity.;"การวิจัยครั้งนี้เป็นการวิจัยแบบสังเกตเชิงวิเคราะห์ โดยมีวัตถุประสงค์ เพื่อศึกษาลักษณะ ทั่วไปของสตรีที่ทำหมันหลังคลอด สตรีทำหมันแห้ง และแนวโน้มของการทำหมันหญิงโดยศึกษา จากแบบบันทึกข้อมูลของผู้มารับบริการทำหมันหลังคลอด และทำหมันแห้ง จำนวนกลุ่มตัวอย่าง ทั้งสิ้น 734 ราย โดยเป็นสตรีที่ทำหมันหลังคลอดจำนวน 635 รายแ"Item Metadata only Factors associated with decision to use contraceptive method among adolescents in an urban community of Bangkok(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2014) Prapasri Thepnarong; Sanya Patrachai; Somsak SuthutvoravutSexual relationships among adolescents have become an important public health issue. If these relationships are not planned and no protection is used, they may lead to unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections which affect not only adolescent health but also the socioeconomic status of the country. This research was a cross-sectional study with the objective to study factors associated with the decision to use contraceptive methods among adolescents in an urban community. The sample was adolescent girls aged 15-19 years old who lived in an urban community of Bangkok. The data were collected by interviewing 153 adolescent girls during 1 November - 31 December 2012 using constructed questionnaires. Descriptive statistics used were frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations, Chisquare test, Fisher's exact test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to test the association between these variables with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed that 92.8% of adolescent girls had ever engaged in sexual intercourse. All of them used contraceptive methods which were divided into 2 groups. First were those who used the folk methods, i.e, coitus interruptus, or periodic abstinence with or without use of condom. Second were those who used the modern method of oral contraceptive pills (OCP). About 70% of adolescent girls used the folk method and 30% used the modern method. Factors which were significantly associated with type of contraceptive methods used(p<0.05) were age, education, occupation, average monthly allowance, residence, marital status of parents, father's occupation and income, mother's occupation, and knowledge about contraception. Adolescent girls who used the modern method when compared to those who used the folk method, were significantly older, had higher education, better knowledge about contraception, worked as an employee, had more monthly allowance, and lived alone or with friends, Their parents were more likely to be separated or divorced, but had less income and worked as employee (fathers) or housewife (mother). When logistic regression analysis was applied, factors which were significantly associated with contraceptive methods were education and average monthly allowance (p<0.05). In conclusion, almost all adolescent girls in an urban community of Bangkok, had already had sexual intercourse and were using contraceptive methods. Factors which were significantly associated with the decision in using which contraceptive methods were education and average monthly allowance. Adolescent girls should have more sex education, especially about contraception, to change to a more reliable and protective contraceptive methodItem Open Access The best treatment for the management of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus in preterm neonates : a network meta-analysis and risk-benefit analysis(Mahidol University.
