Reproductive health PPT

The core logic of making reproductive health PPT is never to pile up medical terms and copy the disease control outline and follow the procedures, but to maintain the bottom line of professional accuracy and flexibly adjust the content depth, expression scale and presentation form according to your audience group, and ultimately achieve "no one feels offended, no one feels unable to understand, and can really use it after listening."

Two years ago, I helped a street community make a PPT presentation for menopausal women. At first, I just used the provincial disease control template to save trouble. When I opened it, it was full of half-literary terms such as "falling estrogen levels," "reproductive tract mucosal atrophy," and "pelvic floor muscle dysfunction." Later, it was overturned and revised, and the article started by saying that Aunt Zhang from Building 3 of our community had been coughing and leaking urine a while ago. She was embarrassed to tell her children and thought it was a normal phenomenon of old age. Later, she went to the community health service center for two weeks of pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation and she was fine. Then she changed all the terms into words that people usually use, such as "dry and itchy down there" and "can't hold in pee". I also specially prepared a stack of small notes for anonymous questions, which can be handed over without raising your hand. After that lecture, more than a dozen aunts left my contact information to ask about the time for follow-up free clinics. Some people secretly inserted notes and asked if there was any lubricant suitable for the elderly. The effect was much better than before.

To be honest, I have seen too many misleading reproductive health PPTs. I once saw a promotional material produced by a factory for migrant youths. The first page included several high-resolution real-life photos of sexually transmitted diseases. The young man in the audience stood up on the spot and walked away halfway. This is purely to scare people and has no effect in popularizing science at all. There was also a PPT for junior high school students that talked about "the dangers of premarital sex" right from the beginning, and the students were all making noises from the bottom and couldn't listen at all.

Regarding the grasp of content scale, there is actually no unified standard in the industry. The two schools of thought have been arguing for several years: One school is the "absolute candid school", which believes that all relevant knowledge must be thoroughly explained no matter how old the audience is. The specific details of sexual behavior and contraception can be taught at the elementary school level to avoid harm caused by information gaps; the other school is the "staged penetration school", which believes that cognitive abilities must be matched. The lower grades should first talk about body boundaries and places that others cannot touch, and then gradually introduce content related to reproductive health and contraception in middle and high schools to avoid cognitive confusion. When I do it myself, I usually make a compromise. The version I do for junior high schools focuses on body boundaries and how to seek help when encountering sexual harassment. I also send a supplementary manual to parents, which contains communication methods and detailed knowledge points on sex education, which is acceptable to both parties.

Oh, by the way, many people always like to write large paragraphs of text when making PPT, cramming dozens of words into one page for fear of missing knowledge points. In fact, it is completely unnecessary. Reproductive health content is inherently sensitive. The more words you have, the more embarrassed people will be to stare at it. Two or three core points on one page are enough. For example, in the version for college students, I only put three points on the page about contraception: "The contraceptive success rate is 98% when condoms are used correctly. Wearing them backwards or halfway will greatly increase the failure rate." "The new generation of short-acting contraceptive pills have extremely low side effects. Don't confuse them with the harmful emergency contraceptive pills." "Emergency contraceptive pills have a failure rate of 20%. They can only be used as a remedial measure and not as a regular contraceptive method." The rest of the talk on the spot is much more effective than a page full of words. Also pay attention to the accompanying pictures. Either use cute cartoon illustrations or formal medical anatomy diagrams. Don’t just search for pictures on the Internet. I have seen people post such vulgar emoticons before, which made me dig my toes into the ground in embarrassment.

There is also the question and answer session that is most easily overlooked by everyone. Be sure to leave a channel for anonymous questions, whether it is a small note or an online anonymous question box. Many people want to ask questions that they are too embarrassed to ask. I have given dozens of lectures, and half of the anonymous questions I received were "Will masturbation affect fertility?" "Is it normal to have pain during sex?" These are questions that people are usually shy about asking. If you explain it clearly and openly, it will be more useful than ten pages of knowledge points.

There is no need to give a standard answer to controversial issues such as screening frequency. For example, the current recommendation of the public health system is that women of childbearing age undergo routine gynecological screening once a year, but many frontline clinical gynecologists will say that if there is no discomfort and no high-risk behaviors, it can be done once every two to three years to avoid excessive medical treatment. I usually list both views and tell you that you can choose based on your physical condition and financial conditions, and you don't have to stick to the once-a-year standard.

Oh, by the way, last time I gave a lecture at the University for the Elderly, an old man raised his hand and asked, "Do I have to stop having sex as I get older?" I said straight away that as long as both parties are physically willing and willing, it's absolutely fine. I also talked about the necessity of the elderly using lubricants to prevent bleeding or infection in the same room.

In fact, after having done so many versions of reproductive health PPT, my biggest feeling is, don’t treat the audience as students who need to be educated. Everyone is an ordinary person with privacy and confusion. What you say is real enough, without being pretentious, without trying to scare people, and without avoiding the issues that people are really concerned about. It is more effective than any fancy animations and parallel sentences. After all, the essence of doing this is to help everyone solve real problems.
