Background: Family planning methods prevent pregnancy-related health risks for women. Aims and Objectives: This study was undertaken to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of various family planning methods among postnatal women in a Medical College Hospital. Materials and Methods: A standard predesigned questionnaire was asked to randomly selected 300 postnatal women who delivered at F.M. Medical College and Hospital, Balasore, Odisha, India over a period of 1 year. Data on sociodemographic variables, knowledge regarding various family planning methods, source of information, utilization, and reason for its none use were analyzed. Results: Majority were between the age group of 20–30 years (81%). About 91% were aware of its use. About 82% were aware of its need. About 75% of the women gave history of prior use of birth spacing methods. Withdrawal, oral contraceptive pills (OCP) and barrier were mostly used methods in the past (i.e., 31%, 19%, and 9%, respectively). Child spacing was most common reason for use of family planning methods. Majority were aware of OCPs (79%) followed by sterilization (72%), barrier methods (71%), intrauterine contraceptive device (53%), withdrawal (31%), and injectable (23%). Social circle (54%) and health-care provider (35%) were major source of knowledge. Man reason for non-utilization of family planning methods was desire of child (42%), fear of side effects (17%), and husband and in-law opposition (16%). Conclusion: In spite of high contraceptive knowledge and awareness, the actual use of modern family planning method is not satisfactory in our study which suggests proper counseling and education are required to increase its usage.

“…Women with a high level of knowledge (better education, more informed by health professionals) adopted most effective contraceptives (LARCs) more easily 36,43,44,54,57 . Conversely, studies agreed that a low level of knowledge (fear of side effects, lack of information about how the contraceptive works) favored the use of natural methods and nonuse of contraception 36,43,50,57,58 . Similarly, strong beliefs about contraception (negative impact on breastfeeding, risk of infertility) tended to favor the use of less reliable methods 38,45,50,58 …”

“…Beliefs and knowledge were also be influenced by family and social environment . Indeed, the life partner plays an important role in the choice of contraception, and many women reported that they need to seek their partner's approval 36,46,48,50,58 . When a woman's partner or other family members objected to the use of a contraceptive method, some women were not free to choose a contraceptive method 38,39,44,45,54,57 or to decide on the modalities (type of contraceptive, type of use) of the method.…”

Introduction The objective of this article is to identify the factors that influence the choice of contraceptive methods in the postpartum period. Methods We conducted a qualitative systematic review including articles published between 2000 and 2021 on postpartum contraception and its related influential factors. Relying on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses and synthesis without meta‐analysis checklists, the search strategy relied on a combination of 2 lists of keywords applied to 9 databases. A bias assessment was carried out with the help of the Cochrane's randomized controlled trial tool, the checklist from Downs and Black, and Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (CoreQ). A thematic analysis was performed to identify categories of influential factors. Results A total of 34 studies met our inclusion criteria and enabled us to isolate 4 categories of factors: (1) demographic and economic factors (geographic and ethnic origin, age, living environment, education/wealth), (2) clinical elements (parity, evolution of pregnancy, childbirth and afterwards, contraception used previously and its mechanism, pregnancy planning), (3) health care delivery (pregnancy monitoring, sessions about contraception, health care system, place of delivery), and (4) sociocultural factors (knowledge and beliefs about contraception, religion, the influence of family and society). The decision process related to postpartum contraception is influenced by a combination of socioenvironmental factors and clinical elements. Discussion The main influential factors (parity, level of education, knowledge and beliefs about contraception, and influence of family) need to be addressed by clinicians during consultations. Further multivariate research should provide quantitative data on this topic.
