Abstract
Objectives: To explore factors related to public health nurses' implementation of
family planning for foreign spouses in Miaoli County. Methods:
Descriptive-ccorrelational design was used. All qualified public health nurses who
have this experience were surveyed (n=37, 88% response rates). Results: The
public health nurses received the highest score on national Health Insurance and
the lowest score on Genetic Health in their knowledge related to family planning
policies. In implementing the family planning for foreign spouses, public health
nurses had emphasized more heavily on contraceptive methods and had neglected
on immigration, and domestic violence prevention issues. The effectiveness of
family planning (case management rate, case contraceptive rate) were better in
public health nurses who employed by the Bureau of Health Promotion. Conclusions:
Most public health nurses perceived the difficulty in implementating family planning
for foreign spouses. Recommendation were made to modify the action plans listed
on family planning card and enforce the law regulation of genetic health for those
with need. Based on recommendations, family planned management can gear to
actual circumstances need and promote health of future high-quality "Son of New
Taiwanese" even more.
