Objective: The survey was conducted to identify methods of contraception used by women applying to family health centres and factors affecting this use. Materials and Method: This descriptive survey was conducted in the period 24 July-1 September 2017 with 1,061 women applying to 6 Family Health Centres at Amasya provincial centre to receive counselling in family planning and accepting to take part in the survey. Data were collected by using the form designed by researchers and analysed with SPSS 20 programme. Findings: The average age of women participating to the survey (N=1061) is 31.05±7.006 (min=17, max=52). 36.9% of women are high school graduates, 85.5% are housewives, 99.6% are married and 89.5 are living in the city. Of these women 46.4% use modern and 31.3% use conventional methods of contraception. The modern methods of contraception most widely used by women include male condom, IUA, hormonal methods and tube ligation. Evaluating women's use of any family planning method with respect to their socio-demographic characteristics it is found that there is statistically significant relationship between this practice and age, education status, age of husbands and the place they live (p�0.05). Conclusion: Needs of all women applying to family health centres delivering family planning services must be noted and taken into account. Guidance in line with ideas, choices and decisions of women must be provided in the context of health services.
Background:A positive birth experience for women is related to active support systems. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the birth perceptions of primiparous women after having interactions with women who had positive birth experiences.Methods:Of the pregnant women who applied to the non-stress test (NST) service at the XXX Hospital between the dates of June 18 and July 18, 2018, 60 pregnant women who met the criteria voluntarily participated in this study. These women were placed into two groups. The first group was given a sound recording to hear positive birth stories. No intervention was made for the 30 pregnant women in the second group. A questionnaire including the Perception of Birth Scale (POBS) was applied to these 60 puerperant women after birth. The data were analyzed with the SPSS software package. Percentage, frequency values and Mann-Whitney U test values were used to evaluate the data.Results: The average age of the women was 23.51±3.47 years. Of these, 43.3% of the women had received no training before birth, while 56.7% had obtained training. The POBS scores of the control and experimental groups were compared and the total score of the scale, as well as the “delivery experience” and “labor experience” sub-dimensions of the scale were found to be statistically significant (p<0.005).Conclusions:Stories about positive birth experiences have effects on the perception of birth. Thus, positive birth experiences should be given more importance.
