The past 100 years has revealed a controversial history around the menstrual and contraceptive management of women with intellectual disability in residential care settings. The present study was conducted to examine the trends of contraceptive methods for females with intellectual disability in residential care centers in Israel.
MATERIAL/METHODS: An annual survey of all medical clinics in residential care centers in Israel has been conducted since 1998 by the Office of the Medical Director of the Ministry of Social Affairs and data were extracted from the national surveys for 1999-2006.
In the 1999-2006 period, 11-16% of females in residential care centers in Israel used oral or injected contraceptives. Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) was the most used method due to its convenience and effectiveness.
It is recommended that a more detailed study of contraceptive methods be conducted in Israel to get a clearer picture since the data collected from annual surveys only give a rudimentary picture of the actual situation in the field.
在过去的100年里,在寄宿护理机构中,针对智障女性的月经和避孕管理存在一段颇具争议的历史。本研究旨在调查以色列寄宿护理中心智障女性的避孕方法趋势。
材料/方法:自1998年以来,以色列社会事务部医疗主任办公室对寄宿护理中心的所有医疗诊所进行年度调查,并从1999 - 2006年的全国调查中提取数据。
在1999 - 2006年期间,以色列寄宿护理中心11% - 16%的女性使用口服或注射避孕药。醋酸甲羟孕酮长效注射液(DMPA)因其便利性和有效性而成为最常用的方法。
建议在以色列对避孕方法进行更详细的研究,以便更清楚地了解情况,因为从年度调查收集的数据仅给出了该领域实际情况的初步概况。
