“…However, Dwivedi et al in their study found that intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) was the most common temporary contraceptive used. 9 In this study age of the woman, religion, education, husband's education and number of children were found to be significantly associated with contraceptive usage. This was similar to findings of a study by Mohanan et al were age of the woman, number of living children, religion, family income and type of family were found to be significantly associated with acceptance of contraceptives.…”

Background: India is the first country to implement National family planning programme in 1952. Use of contraceptives can prevent at least 25% of all maternal deaths by allowing women to prevent unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions, and protect themselves from sexually transmitting diseases. Even though there is wide availability of various types of contraceptives, the rate of population growth and unplanned pregnancies is still high. The acceptance and knowledge of contraceptive methods varies within the societies and factors responsible operate at the individual, family and community level.Methods: A hospital based, cross-sectional study was conducted during August 2018 at McGann Hospital, Shimoga. The study sample included 200 women in the age group of 20 to 40 years attending immunization clinic with their children. Informed consent was taken from the subjects after explaining the purpose of the study to them. A pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data by face-to-face interview of the study participants.Results: Out of 200 women 51% were aged between 20 to 24 years of age. Majority (72%) were Hindus. 67.5% were currently using contraception. Among acceptors of family planning 42.3% had undergone tubectomy. OCP was the most commonly used temporary method of contraception. Age of the woman, religion, education, husband’s education and number of children were found to be significantly associated with contraceptive usage.Conclusions: Factors influencing fertility and contraceptive practices should be properly assessed and addressed. Newly married couples should be motivated for accepting spacing methods.

“…[ 4 5 13 ] However, the CPR of the present study was lower in comparison to other studies conducted in different parts of the country where it ranged from 59.3 to 80.8%. [ 14 15 16 17 18 ] This could be due to differences in study setting as those studies either included older study participants compared to our study or hospital patients while the present study retrieved data from the eligible couples’ register which is a community-based record maintained by ASHAs and ANMs. Low CPR rates can decrease the pace of progress towards attainment of Vision Family planning (FP) 2020 and Sustainable development goals (SDGs).…”

Background: Contraceptive use is important to stabilize population growth by reducing the net reproduction rate. The effectiveness of a contraceptive method is decided mainly by its consistent and correct use. Methods: A record-based study was undertaken with the aim to study the contraceptive usage and its consistency among eligible couples in a peri-urban area of Delhi, India. Data of 946 eligible couples were analysed. Descriptive analysis was performed and odds ratios were calculated. Results: Mean age of females was found to be 30.3 ± 5.5 years and males was 33.5 ± 6.4 years. About 56.2% (532) eligible couples have used contraceptive at least once in the past 6 months and 54.7% (517) used them consistently for 6 months of the study period. There were 12.3 pregnancies per 100 non-users, 2.2 pregnancies per 100 ever users and 1.9 per 100 consistent users (1.7 for condoms and 0.2 for OCPs). Couples having two or more children, having two or more male children and with less than five years of age difference between husband and wife were found to have significantly higher odds of ever and consistent contraceptive use compared to other eligible couples ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: More than half of the eligible couples were found to be using contraceptives ever in past 6 months, and 54.7% of eligible couples were using them consistently. There is a need to explore social, cultural factors, awareness levels associated with the ever and consistent use of contraceptives for improving overall couple protection rate and enhancing the consistency in usage.

“…Global statistics estimate that 2 out of every 5 pregnancies are unintended. The national population policy (NPP) 2000 aims at stabilising population at 2045 that is by bringing down total fertility rate (TFR) to 2.1 by 2010 but TFR still continues to be 2.6 & 3 in some states 2 . The major problem found while adopting the contraceptive measures are myths and misperceptions passed from one person to another.…”

Introduction: Contraception is a major component of reproductive health and reproductive health services that empower women will reduce the social and economic disruption in the society. The aim of the study was to assess the level of knowledge about different contraceptive choices and find current practice of contraceptive methods by antenatal women attending Outpatient department in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A crossectional questionnaire based study was conducted over an eight week period at Government Medical College Manjeri Kerala. 156 antenatal women were randomly selected and interviewed using predesigned questionnaire. Results: Majority were in the age group 26 to 30 years.90% was aware of some kind of contraception. Also, 90% were aware of needs of birth spacing. Condom was the most popular method followed by I-pill (emergency contraceptive -trade name).Only 50% gave history of contraceptive usage. Among choice of contraception in postpartum period, 33% chose sterilisation. Friends and neighbours were the main source of information, Reason for not using contraception was fear of side effects. Conclusion: While there is good contraceptive awareness, this is not matched by commensurate contraceptive prevalence; but situation can be bettered. There is need to tackle the obstacles to contraceptive uptake. Every available opportunity to provide reproductive counselling to women especially on contraception should be made use of. Family planning counselling during antenatal check up is likely to increase the acceptance of family planning methods in the post partum period.
