Abstract

Objectives: In this study, efforts were made to explore the nature and pattern of reproductive health of women and to find out the barriers to their reproductive health. Methods: The study area was purposively selected, and the areas were wards 17 (Nobinogor) and 18 (Alamin Moholla & Sonadanga) in Khulna City Corporation of Bangladesh. Respondents were selected by using simple random sampling. By using the survey method, the duration of data collection was from September to October 2023 along with the sample size was 322. Results: The results show that most respondents experienced ovarian insufficiency, uterine fibroids, shortness of breath, and weakened immune systems. Many participants also experienced infertility, which included menopause, osteoporosis, and respiratory illnesses. Regarding the obstacles that most respondents had a moderate opinion. In addition, most respondents had difficulties meeting their health demands. During this time, most respondents knew only a moderate amount about healthcare. The respondents' age (p<0.05), living arrangement (p <0.001), household income (p<0.05), savings (p<0.04), and spouses' age were all statistically significant factors in their ability to access family planning. Furthermore, the number of children (0.273**), the income of the respondents’ spouses (0.129**), and the head of the households of the respondents were also statistically significant (0.122**) with the most common issues and cases the respondents suffered. Conclusion: To mitigate these barriers and challenges, it is essential for the government and policymakers to implement appropriate initiatives.

Types of Articles

 

Journal of International Health Sciences and Management will be accepting submissions in three different formats:

 

(1)"Samples of the best practices in health management" of around 2,000 words (excluding abstract and references), concentrating on proposed,  discussed, just passed and/or implemented management in one of the Health Systems and Institution. These do not have to present empirical data but analyze actor sand processes.

 

(2) "Full-length Original Articles" of around 5,000 words (and not more than 6000 words), mainly empirical, analyzing the impact of health sciences and management. In addition, more theoretical, conceptual or methodological papers can be submitted.

 

(3) "Reviews/comparative analyses" of around 8,000 words (and not more than 10,000 words) can either be

(a) systematic reviews of Health Sciences and Management issues

(b) or examine certain aspects of health science and management in a systematic, comparative manner across a number of countries.

 

In all cases, Authors should provide sufficient background and context and discuss their findings in an international context to ensure that their manuscript can be appreciated by an international readership.

 

Besides these three main types of submissions, Health Science and Management is interested in publishing debate among the readers in the form of letters and repliques as well as commissioned editorials.

 

The material should not have been previously published in peer-review for all types of submissions. Publication as an abstract, academic thesis or discussion paper is permissible but needs to be stated in the cover letter to the editor upon submission.


 Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors must check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.

The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.

If submitting to a peer-reviewed journal section, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.

Ethics committee approval must be obtained separately for the clinical and experimental human and animal studies required by the ethics committee decision. This approval should be stated and documented in the Method section of the article.

Size and Layout

Manuscripts should be written in English. They should be clear, concise and logical, and follow the suggested word length (see above) as well as the number of tables and figures (see below).

Manuscripts should be structured as follows (excluding samples of the best practices in health management):

Cover letter
Title Page (incl. Acknowledgements, e.g. to sponsors, and Conflict of Interest statement)
Abstract-Keywords
Introduction
Materials and methods
Results
Discussion
Conclusions
Appendices (will be included as online supplementary material if the manuscript is accepted).

There should be no footnotes or endnotes in the manuscript.

Manuscripts that do not comply with the above mentioned manuscript guidelines will be considered as non-admissible. All submissions will be checked for plagiarism. The handling editor will be informed about any incorrectly cited text passages/ findings of plagiarism.

 Figures, tables and equations

Figures and tables are encouraged but should not be too technical. Technical tables and especially equations or other formulae should be avoided. Except in exceptional circumstances, the admissible number of figures and tables together is 3 for samples of the best practices in health management articles, 5 for full-length articles and 6 for reviews and comparative articles. Additional figures and tables may be supplied as supplementary material. Figures and tables should still be legible when reduced in size for printing (for more details see below).

Abstract

An abstract of 220 words (and not more than 250) must be included in the submitted manuscript. As the abstract is often viewed separately from the article, it must be able to stand alone. It should state briefly and clearly the purpose and setting, the principal findings and major conclusions, and the paper's contribution to knowledge. If applicable, the country/countries/locations should be clearly stated, as should the methods and nature of the sample, the dates, and a summary of the findings/ conclusion. Please note that excessive statistical details should be avoided, abbreviations/acronyms used only if essential or firmly established, and the abstract should not contain references to other published work.

Keywords

Authors are asked to classify their submission using the provided classification system. They are also asked to include 3 to 6 keywords.

Illustration services

Figure captions

Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.

Tables

Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place foot notes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.

Throughout the manuscript text, Authors must indicate where approximately the figures and tables should be included.
