• W2885204647 abstract "INTRODUCTION:Sexually Transmitted Diseases cause considerable morbidity, particularly in relation to the reproductiveHealth of women. It is associated with increased transmission of HIV. Many STDs like syphilis andGonorrhoea are treatable. Yet millions of cases are left untreated, leading to continued transmission and serious sequelae. Hence the control of sexually transmitted diseases is recognized as a global priority.Biological differences between women and men along with gender differences in social behaviour,Work to the disadvantage of women. This is best illustrated in the case of sexually transmitted diseases.Women are biologically more susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases than men. Also, women are More likely to be asymptomatic and therefore less likely to seek treatment.Women may not recognize the symptoms of a health problem, or may not consider it serious enough To seek medical help. Further, even where symptoms are recognized, decisions about where, when and How to seek help and/or treatment will depend upon cultural and social circumstances. More commonly , Indian women do not perceive themselves as entitled to invest in their well-being.“Health seeking” is a dynamic process. Factors like recognition of symptoms, decision making,Medical encounter, evaluation of outcomes, re-interpretation of illness are sequentially organisedDuring an illness and hence determine the course of therapy. The factors influencing decision making are multiple and range from socially sanctioned gender roles, influence of peer pressure to deliberations about economic benefits. This reveals how complex health seeking behaviour in reality is.The accessibility of treatment services and the availability of multiple sources of care clearly play aRole in attracting people with or at risk of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. However, social stigmaAssociated with STDs will have a major influence on the pattern of presentation of the patients to the various health care providers. The quality of care as well as the affordability impose further restrictions on their treatment seeking behaviour.In order to increase the proportion of people with sexually transmitted diseases seeking counselling and Treatment, programme planners need to know more about the factors that influence health seeking behaviour in relation to sexually transmitted diseases.OBJECTIVES :1. To study the pattern of health care seeking behaviour of women with Sexually TransmittedDiseases in the reproductive age group (15 - 49 yrs), attending the STD Outpatient Departmentat Government General Hospital, Chennai.2. To assess their knowledge on the spread and prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases andHIV/AIDS.3. To assess the knowledge and attitude regarding condom use in these women and its practice bytheir partners.JUSTIFICATION :The prevalence rate of STI in the Indian urban population ranges from 1.2% to 10% and in rural population about 7% (UNAIDS, 2000). Sexually transmitted diseases cause considerable morbidity, particularly in relation to the reproductive health of women, and are also associated with increased transmission of HIV. Studies show that people with current or past STDs are 2-9 times more likely to get infected with HIV. The lesions caused by untreated ulcerative STDs such as herpes, syphilis and chancroid provide an easy entry for HIV (UNAIDS, 2000). Women and men do not have equal access to and control over resources such as money, transport and time. Because the decision-making power within the family is unequal, with men enjoying privileges that women are denied, women’s access to health services is restricted. They may be allowed to decide on seeking medical care for their children, but may need the permission of their husbands or elders within the family to seek health care for themselves. The stigma attached to visiting an STD clinic further discourages women from seeking treatment. Delays in seeking and obtaining diagnosis and treatment can allow for continued transmission and greater probability of adverse sequelae. An understanding of health seeking behaviour would help assist programme planners in the development of more accessible and effective services. Such knowledge is therefore important if STD control programmes are to be effective." @default.
