Over a three-year period (1990-1992), the factors influencing the use of family planning among the 7,902 clients attending the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN) Clinic in Ilorin were studied. The patients were predominantly females (74.1%). Urban residents (66.1%), educated clients (77.4%), clients aged 25-39 years (73%), and those with three or more children (74.8%) are more likely to use family planning. More Moslems (61%) than Christians (39%) appear to embrace family planning practice in Ilorin.

On comfort in palliative care.

Comfort is a central aspect of palliative care, encompassing the management of pain and symptoms, as well as how people feel and experience care. Comfort has been argued to be especially tenuous or transient in palliative care, as a constantly shifting set of bodily sensations and relations are anticipated and cared for. In this article, drawing on in-depth interviews and photo elicitation, we explore the accounts of patients, family carers, staff and volunteers from a palliative care service in Australia, to understand how care is configured and facilitated through everyday gestures of comfort.

Background: Older adult care homes in England are required to develop care plans on behalf of each of their residents and to make these documents available to those who provide care. However, there is a lack of formal agreement around the key principles that should inform the development of care plans in care homes for older adults. Using a modified Delphi survey, we intend to generate consensus on a set of key principles that should inform the care planning process.
