Inhalt: "Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt das bundesweite Kooperationsprojekt Erzählcafés 'Der Start ins Leben' vor. 2014 initiiert, will dieses Projekt Erfahrungen von Schwangeren und Gebärenden, aber auch von Vätern, Hebammen und Ärzt_innen sichtbar machen und diese dem negativ konnotierten Diskurs um die politische Situation der Geburtshilfe in Deutschland entgegenstellen. Es werden die Entstehung, das Vorgehen und die zentralen Ergebnisse der Aktion vorgestellt. Abschließend wird diskutiert, inwiefern die Aktion Erzählcafés Impulse sowohl für politische Protestformen und Veränderungen als auch für sozialwissenschaftliche Methodenentwicklung (im Sinne der partizipativen Forschung) geben kann." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "This article presents the Germany-wide project Erzählcafés 'Der Start ins Leben' (Storytelling Café - A Good Start in Life) that was launched in 2014 as part of the political protest around birth and obstetrics that is ongoing in Germany. Its aim is to make the experiences of pregnant and birthing women, fathers, midwives and doctors visible in order to provide an alternative to the negative view of obstetrics in Germany. First, the political circumstances will be described. In a second step, the method and main results of the project will be presented. Finally, I discuss whether and how the project may be of use for bringing about political change as well as for developing new methods for the social sciences." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: Objective: To investigate the reality of health of women and indigenous Guarani people and Kaingáng, bringing reflections on public health policies aimed at the indigenous community and the inclusion of nursing in this context. Method: This is an integrative review conducted in the period from March to July 2010. Results: The studies bring that access to health of indigenous people is still limited, that health actions should consider their culture and other characteristics and the professionals involved in this process need to create links with this population so that actions are effective. Conclusion: it was found the need for a broader and more qualified attention to indigenous mainly to women's health and also noticed the dearth of research on the topic.

Inhalt: Aim: In view of increasing concern about a two-class system in the German health care sector, this study investigates the relevance of health insurance schemes and other socioeconomic characteristics to the level of specialist health care provision. Subjects and Methods: Referring to Ronald M. Andersen’s model of health care utilization and more content-based approaches, we implement a negative binomial hurdle regression to estimate the number of specialist visits within the last 12 months. Our data source is the German sample of the first wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) in 2004. Results: The results show that men’s number of specialist visits is markedly sensitive to predisposing and enabling factors, whereas women’s health care utilization depends less on such socioeconomic characteristics. With reference to previous findings concerning general practitioner consultation, the assumption of a bipolar health care system providing general practitioner care primarily to the statutory insured and specialist care to the privately insured is supported empirically as to men. Education, which is considered to be highly correlated with health lifestyles, has a positive effect on medical health care. Every additional year of education increases by about 10% the probability of men seeking specialist consultation. Furthermore, the results indicate an unfavorable situation for the self-employed concerning health care because of their specific employment situation and health insurance coverage. Discussion: The research results suggest the existence of relevant differences in the amount of specialist consultation according to health insurance and other socioeconomic features. Further research could concentrate on the question of whether these inequalities in utilization levels indicate overprovision or underprovision of ambulant health care. Moreover, we recommend longitudinal research that is particularly suited to detangle age and cohort effects.

Inhalt: Aim: The first goal of this study was to assess the prevalence of different health risk behaviours among Romanian young people. Next, the interrelationship between different health risk behaviours as well as age and gender differences with respect to health risk behaviours were examined. Subjects and methods: Self-administered questionnaires were completed by a sample of 1,598 junior high school students, senior high school students and university students from urban and rural areas of two counties of Romania. Results: The results showed that 31% of junior high school students, 59.7% of senior high school students and 64.8% of university students reported more than one risk behaviour. Many of the risk behaviours were likely to correlate with each other and the strongest correlation was found between smoking, alcohol-related behaviour and precocious sexual intercourse. Factor analysis revealed that among junior high school students all health risk behaviours loaded on one factor. In senior high school students and university students the risk behaviours split into two factors, based probably on their frequency and severity. Factor 1 comprised smoking, alcohol-related behaviours as well as precocious sexual intercourse, while factor 2 included less common behaviours: violence, delinquency and illicit drug use. No gender differences were observed regarding the relationship between health risk behaviours. Conclusion: The results stress the importance of developing prevention programmes among Romanian youth for the behaviours discussed. Further research is needed to identify how to best offer these programmes: as stand-alone programmes or as an integrated set of programmes and whether the same approach has to be taken for younger and older adolescents.

Inhalt: Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of primary family caregivers in comparison to the reference values of the average population. Subjects and methods: Data collection took place in the Werra-Meißner district in 2009 with a response rate of 102 primary family caregivers of frail elderly people. The health-related quality of life was measured with the Short Form 36 health survey (SF 36) and compared with the German reference values. Results: Compared to the health values of the normative sample, primary caregivers show significantly lower rates in all dimensions of health-related quality of life. In particular, caregivers between the ages of 53 to 61 report extremely low health values. Caregiving women compared to non-caregiving women have highly significant differences in all subscales of the SF 36. Caregiving men also report highly significant differences to non-caregiving men in all dimensions of the SF 36 except for Physical Functioning and General Health (p < 0.01). Caregivers in general and especially caregiving women aged 53 to 61 (midlife) were identified as at-risk groups for poor health. The latter report lower vitality and well-being, which may be a consequence of both social isolation and social impacts from multiple role demands. Conclusion: The identified high-risk groups of family caregivers, caregivers in midlife and especially caregiving women in midlife, should be supported by social measures, e.g., training courses for family caregivers, particularly in their home setting, and various types of respite care in order to sustain their health.
