title: [Study on health services needs and affecting factors of childbearing-age women of Jingsong Community in Beijing].
abstract: A household health interview survey was conducted in 1991 to study the special health problems, health care needs and affecting factors of child bearing-age women. 624 women were randomly sampled in Jingsong Community, Beijing. The results showed that two-week prevalence rate was 20.2 percent, the morbidity rate of chronic diseases was 25.3 percent. These two indexes were higher than the average level of Beijing's population. The medical care needs were great, but utilization of available services was inadequate. The common diseases and woman's diseases were still the major diseases. Preventive health service needs, such as premarriage counseling, postnatal care, women suffer, regular check-up and treatment of woman's diseases, family planning services etc., were not satisfactorily met. The results of the single and multiple variable analysis indicated that the health care needs were mainly affected by age, marital status, education, occupation, system of medical care insurance and position in family. Incidence of gynecopathy was associated with age of the first marriage, number of times of induced abortion etc.. Proposals on improving women's health care in urban community were also put forward in the paper.
