Assessing the Use of Contraceptive Methods for Family Planning among Married Women of Rawalpindi [urban]

Abstract

Qualitative data from a survey of married women living in urban areas of Rawalpindi are presented here in an effort to better understand their views on contraceptive techniques and the factors that impact their use. A purposeful selection strategy was used to choose participants, and only married women of childbearing age were eligible to participate. In total, 12 focus groups were held in the urban region of Rawalpindi. Some modern contraceptive methods were known to the majority, but overall use was extremely low. The prevalence of any form of contraception, including IUDs, was especially low. Modern contraception is not widely used because of concerns about side effects, religious apprehensions about harming the unborn child, a lack of information, or a lack of access to high-quality treatment according to the findings. The number of young women in the Pakistan who utilize contraception is influenced by social, demographic, and economic factors. Young women’s access to contraception may be restricted unless these findings are included into public health programs. Access to family planning information and services for young women is highly recommended. Key words: Contraceptive Methods, Family planning, Urban areas, Rawalpindi

This has implications for public health as culture take precedence to the health of women and girls.…”

Barriers to contraceptive use in humanitarian settings: Experiences of South Sudanese refugee women living in Adjumani district, Uganda; an exploratory qualitative study

“…The population under study came from a community where sensitization on contraception was not a government priority. It is clear that when people do not know about a service or have limited knowledge about it, they would not seek to use the service [37]. The participants in this study reported that contraceptive information is not widely known or disseminated in their settlements.…”
