“…Furthermore, postpartum mothers who were counseled during their postnatal care visit were nearly 4-times more likely to have good knowledge on postpartum contraceptive use compared to those mothers who were not counseled. This finding is supported by reports from Nigeria 24 and India. 35 This is because women who received family planning counseling during PNC might have adequate information regarding the source, benefit, side-effect, of contraceptives, and the place where they could find contraceptives.…”

Background:The choice of a postpartum contraceptive method and the timing of its initiation depend on the woman's knowledge regarding postpartum contraceptives use. Also, women's perception towards family planning is reliant on good knowledge and has a great influence on their attitudes and practices. There is limited information on the knowledge and associated factors of postpartum contraceptive use among women. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and associated factors of postpartum contraceptive use among women in the extended postpartum period. Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from November 5, 2018 to December 5, 2018 among postpartum women in six health institutions in Gondar city, northwest Ethiopia. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted to identify the determinants of knowledge of postpartum contraceptive use. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. P-values less than 0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: Out of 403 participants, 299 (74.2%) had good knowledge on postpartum contraceptive use. Being urban residents (AOR=2.95, 95% CI=1.34-6.48), previous modern contraceptives use (AOR=5.15, 95% CI=1.16-22.88), health facility delivery (AOR=4.10, 95% CI=1.20-13.98), and counseling about family planning during PNC (AOR=3.80; 95% CI=1.52-9.51) were significantly associated with good knowledge. Conclusion:This study showed that the knowledge of women regarding postpartum contraceptives was relatively low. Therefore, increasing institutional delivery service and counseling about family planning during the postpartum period should get more focus to address the knowledge gap of postpartum mothers.

“…Furthermore, it is important to note that, although sexual relationships, pregnancy and childbirth are necessary and cannot be avoided, the social and cultural environment also determines the attitude and preferences of women regarding contraception methods. 9 This study was undertaken with the objective to determine the awareness and acceptance status about various contraceptive methods among post-partum women in the tertiary care centre of Chhattisgarh.…”

Background: This study was conducted to know awareness and acceptance of contraceptive methods among post-partum women in the tertiary care centre of Chhattisgarh.Methods: A cross-sectional interview-based study was conducted on a sample of 440 post-partum women. The interview included socio demographic profile, awareness and acceptance of contraceptive methods in postpartum period and factors affecting its use.Results: In our study, we observed that 95.9% were aware of some method of contraception. This knowledge increased with increasing education, socioeconomic class. 90.9 % accepted one of the contraceptive methods during their hospital stay. The most common contraceptive method chosen was IUCD (80.8%). Major source of information was health care worker (83.88%). The main reason for non-acceptance of contraception was fear of side effects.Conclusions: High level of persistent motivation is required, so initiation of motivation regarding post-partum contraception should be done in antenatal visits and reinforcement in post-partum period should be done. Proper counseling regarding possibility of milder side effects and way of coping with them should be reinforced, continued motivation and reassurance will give positive attitude for acceptance of contraception. Reinforcement of awareness in society (family and friends/neighbor) this may give positive impact on awareness and acceptance. There is need of couple counseling for better acceptance. Emphasis is required for involvement of men/head of the family for it.

“…A published work from Ebonyi State, Nigeria, indicated that postpartum women have a favourable attitude towards contraception. 13 Similarly, a study in Iran revealed that among postpartum women the intervention group had a higher positive attitude towards contraceptives than their counterparts in the control group (p < 0.05). 14 In Uganda, 71.4% of women in the control group and 87% in the intervention group intended to use a modern contraceptive method following counselling on PPFP.…”

Background Postpartum Family Planning (PPFP) counselling is a critical component of maternal health care that has the potential of meeting women’s desire for contraception. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PPFP counselling on contraceptives’ knowledge, attitudes and intention among women attending a general hospital in The Gambia. Methods The study used a quasi-experimental design with two groups; the intervention and the comparison groups. A sample size of 674 participants was determined by a formula for comparison between two groups. The questionnaire was developed based on a literature review and was pre-tested on 10% of the total study sample size (68). A reliability of 0.731 was obtained. A systematic random sampling method was employed to select those who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected on face-to-face interviews in Mandinka, Fula and Wolof with a 100% response rate at baseline and 96% at post-test. The intervention strategy was family planning counselling using the GATHER approach. Data were analysed using the SPSS version 21.00 and the statistical analysis included both descriptive and inferential methods. An ethical approval was obtained from the Research and Ethics Committee, School of Basic Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Benin (CMS/REC/2017/017) and the Gambia Government/Medical Research Council Laboratories Joint Ethics Committee (R017016Av1.1). Results Baseline respondents' socio-demographic characteristics revealed that the two groups had similar characteristics and were therefore comparable (P>0.05). A statistically significant difference existed on knowledge, attitude, and intention between the intervention and comparison groups at post- intervention (p<0.05) while no significant difference was observed at baseline. Significant gains were achieved in the intervention group in terms of knowledge, attitude, and intention post -intervention. ConclusionThe present study therefore highlights the need to conduct family planning counselling during the immediate postpartum period, particularly before the discharge of women from the hospital so as to ensure improved contraceptive uptake, prevent unwanted pregnancy and closely spaced pregnancy and thus improve maternal health outcomes.
