    KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES REGARDING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AMONG LAMBANI WOMEN OF BIJAPUR TALUK JAYASHREE PAWAR 2004 ABSTRACT Dr.(Mrs.) K. SAROJA MAJOR ADVISOR This study conducted in Bijapur taluk during 2003, aimed at having a comprehensive picture of reproductive health of Lambani women. 150 married women in their reproductive years were selected by proportionate randomization. Interview, informal group discussion, personal observation were the data collection methods used. Majority were illiterates (89%), agricultural labourers (55%). Majority had more than four children. Child wastage in the form of abortions, still-births, neonatal deaths, infant deaths was found among 52 per cent of respondents. Results revealed that majority suffered from reproductive health problems related to maternity. Respondents faced more problems during perinatal period as compared to prenatal and postnatal periods, as most of the deliveries were conducted at home by untrained persons (88%). Regarding other reproductive health problems 54 per cent of respondents suffered menstrual problems, 16 per cent vaginal problem, 7 per cent uterine problems. Few effective indigenous treatments for vaginal tear documented in this study. 73 per cent of respondents were found to be sterilized after attaining their desired family size. Among those who were sterilized 75 per cent suffered post sterilization health problems. Severe backache and headache were most common problems (47%). The remaining 27 per cent were not following family planning. Of these some wanted more children (35%) and some preferred male child (33%). Regarding non-utilization of health services, inaccessibility of health centre was the main reason. 52 per cent reported non-cordial behaviour of PHC staff was the reason. As the ANM's visit was rare in Tandas. Only 50 per cent respondents received and took IFA tablets 38 per cent did not receive T.T. injection. Results imply need for mobile clinics which can reach remote Tandas. As many ANM's complained about 3-4 km distance to travel extra 3-4 km to reach Tanda by walk. Hence there is need for health education, quality health services during childbirth and orientation of PHC staff towards Lambani women's needs.
