“…The number of the women who opted for hormonal methods was the highest in the selection of POPs followed by those who selected Injectable DMPA. This pattern for switching is consistent with previous findings of a comprehensive study conducted across five European countries, where changes in women's precounseling and post-counseling choices were statistically significant after counseling sessions [19][20][21]. However, this is the first-ever report of such choices being made by postpartum women pre-and post-counseling.…”

“…Communication Intervention as evaluated in the present study has the potential to educate the postpartum women and reduce the burden of unplanned pregnancies, abortions, maternal and infant morbidities, and mortalities. In contrast to counseling provided on hormonal methods reported in the European CHOICE study, and recently in India, the present study included counseling on hormonal as well as nonhormonal methods among postpartum women [19]. In the present study, counseling provided to women resulted in statistically significant differences between contraceptive methods marked by women in preand post-counseling questionnaires.…”

Background of the Study In India, although a number of contraceptive choices are available, the usage of contraceptive methods among postpartum women is rather low. The current study intended to determine the impact of ''structured contraception counseling'' on women's decision making on selection of contraceptive methods and the reasons behind the selection of a contraceptive method. Methods One-hundred-and-seventeen postpartum women in the age group of 18-35 years, requesting contraception, were enrolled in the study. ''Structured contraception counseling'' was provided using a standardized protocol with balanced and comprehensive education material on the available hormonal and nonhormonal contraceptive methods. Questionnaires with information on the women's pre-and post-counseling contraceptive choice, her perceptions, and the reasons behind her postcounseling decision were filled by the participating women. Results Maximum women enrolled for the study were in the age group of 21-25 years. In pre-counseling, 36 % postpartum women selected a contraceptive method, 23.1 % a nonhormonal method, and 12.8 % a hormonal method. After ''structured contraception counseling, '' 92. Conclusion ''Structured contraception counseling'' using standardized protocol resulted in significant improvements in the selection of contraceptive methods by postpartum women.

“…The fear of adverse effects was a significant reason for not practicing contraception. Other studies have shown the same concern in non‐Muslim populations (Bachar et al., 2002) and that counselling and education can help to improve contraception use and change prejudiced concepts (Yeshaya, Ber, Seidman, & Oddens, 2014).…”

The Bedouin community in southern Israel is an authentic Muslim population that lives in close proximity to the Jewish population and is covered by the same healthcare services. The main aim of the study was to assess the attitudes, knowledge and practice of contraception among Bedouin women of childbearing age in southern Israel. Additional aims were to compare the attitudes and knowledge among women who did and did not use contraceptives and between younger and older women. A questionnaire‐based cross‐sectional study was carried out. The study population was comprised of women who visit a primary care clinic in the Bedouin village for any reason. It numbered 270 women with a mean age of 33.2 ± 6.6 years. The mean number of children was 5.0 ± 2.7, 27% were in polygamous marriages and 69% were married to relatives. The most recognized methods of contraception were pills and intrauterine devices (37.7%, each). Fourteen per cent of the women practiced the withdrawal method and 9% used breastfeeding for that purpose. The most common sources of knowledge on contraception were family (62% among uses and 69% among non‐users), the media (58% and 50%, respectively) and healthcare providers (25% and 34%, respectively). The most common reasons for not practicing contraception were a desire to become pregnant (59%), fear of adverse effects (44%) and husband's opposition (28%). The desire to become pregnant is the main reason for not practicing contraception among women in the Bedouin community in the Negev. Participation of the husband in counselling, involvement of religious leaders can improve family planning. Education on the low rate of adverse effects and on the many health benefits of contraception can also improve adherence to the practice of contraception.

Aim: Everyone has the right to decide whether or not to have children, when to have children; to achieve effective and reliable family planning (FP) methods equally; and to receive FP counseling services. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of women's characteristics and FP counseling service on women's choice of FP method. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 18-45 year aged healthy volunteers who admitted to the Family Planning Unit of the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic of a tertiary center. A questionnaire including questions about FP counseling services and method preferences was applied to women. Pre and post counseling preferences were compared. Results: The median gravidity and the median number of living children of 334 women who participated in the study were both found 3, while the median time has passed 12 months since their last birth. Among the methods that women consider to prefer before counseling, copper intrauterine device (IUD) was the most common, condom in the second place, combined oral contraceptive (POP) in the third place, while the frequency of choice of copper IUD increased and the frequency of choice of other methods decreased. Women reported that they thought the method was safer as the most important factor affecting method preference after FP counseling. Another important finding of the study is that, as the number of living children increases, women prefer methods that provide longterm protection more frequently. However, 95.2% of the women preferred the method recommended by the FP counselling staff. Conclusion: FP counseling service has a significant impact on women's preferences. The availability and accessibility of these services will facilitate women's choice of contraceptive methods that are suitable for their characteristics and health status.
