PhD Scholarship - What is reproductive wellbeing? Drive your own learning at one of the world's top 80 universitiesTake your career in exciting, rewarding directionsAbout the projectMost research in women's sexual and reproductive health focuses on outcomes, such as reducing unintended pregnancy, increasing health literacy, and increasing contraceptive uptake. However, little is understood about how women view reproductive wellbeing and what this means to them. For health services to optimise care and deliver patient-centred care, they also need to focus on meeting women's needs in relation to reproductive wellbeing.This qualitative PhD project will involve describing women's views on what constitutes reproductive wellbeing and how health services can help them achieve this. It will involve interviews with women of reproductive age in Australia. The outcomes from the project can be used to inform the co-design of new health services that are truly patient-centred and policy initiatives that lead to improved reproductive wellbeing.SPHERE and Monash UniversityThe successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary cohort of researchers and students based at the SPHERE NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health in Primary Care.
