“…In traditional society where decisions are largely taken by men, they should be actively involved in reproductive decision of the couple. 5 This study revealed that the education status and level of the husband is associated with acceptance of any kinds of contraceptives. Husband approval of family planning is also important to those women who intend to use modern contraceptives in future.…”

ABSTRACT:Introduction: Acceptance of family planning is influenced by a variety of interrelated factors such as age at marriage, education, economic status, religion, number of living children etc. This study is an endeavor to assess the relation between education status of husband and wife and acceptance of contraception among postpartum women at Lumbini Medical College Teaching Hospital. Methods: A prospective, observational analytical study was conducted in Obstetrics and Gynecology department of Lumbini Medical College. The information on socio-demographic data, educational status of husband and wife and willingness to accept any form of contraception within the next three months was obtained by an interview, utilizing a questionnaire. Results: There were 615 postpartum ladies accompanied by their husbands who were included in the study. Mean age of wives was 25.11 years (SD=5.36, range 17-45) and husbands was 27.89 years (SD=5.55, range 20-47). Contraceptive acceptance was shown to increase significantly with literacy status. Illiterate husbands and wives refused to accept the contraception which was statistically significant. (p<0.001) Conclusion: Contraceptive acceptance was significantly poor in illiterate wives and husbands whereas it was significantly higher in educated wives and husbands of all education levels. We feel the need of more education programs and education friendly socio-economic conditions which increases the acceptance of contraception thereby assisting family planning and population control.

“…Grouping patients by behaviors and beliefs has been useful for designing educational campaigns and health-care interventions. [12][13][14][15][16][17] With regard to motivation for behavioral changes in other fields, brief interventions have been shown to be useful that are based on a specific state or trait markers of patients. 15,[17][18][19][20] Previous major studies on ED treatment-related behaviors (for example, Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors (GSSAB), 6 men's attitudes to life events and sexuality (MALES), 7,9 CrossNational Survey on Male Health Issues (CNSMHI) 3,8 ) reported findings for total samples and did not break down results by variation in sexual attitudes.…”

A typology of men's sexual attitudes, erectile dysfunction treatment expectations and barriers

In total, 1122 men completed non-validated structured interviews on sexual attitudes and on erectile dysfunction treatment expectations and barriers. Dimensions of sexual attitudes and treatment expectations and barriers were extracted by factor analysis and subjects were grouped into types by cluster analysis. Five types emerged: the sensation seeker, the sensuous, the anxious, the confident and the abstinent. The majority of men agreed on the importance of sex for the partnership. For the majority of anxious, sensuous and sensation-seeking men, sex was important for self-esteem. Expecting quality of life, enjoyment, self-esteem and hard reliable erections from treatment with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, anxieties for side effects and loss of control, sexual abstinence and desire for an intensive sex life had the strongest impact on the likelihood of use. Men's sexual attitudes vary considerably and impact reactions to erection difficulties. A typology of five groups was developed, which will contribute to research on and understanding of men's sexual and treatment-seeking behaviors.

“…A variety of factors have been reported to influence contraceptive use among this population [6][7][8][9]. However, how these factors are associated with each other, and how they influence the stages of behavioral change for contraceptive use are not clear, warranting more research.…”

“…The relationship between stages of change for contraceptive use and self-efficacy has been demonstrated in cross-sectional studies [10]. Men's self-efficacy for contraception is a significant predictor of their stages of change to accept intrauterine devices (IUD) for contraception [7]. Findings from qualitative studies with women indicated that a high degree of self-efficacy for contraceptive use may contribute to successful initiation and continuation of contraceptive use [11].…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships of self-efficacy, social influences, decisional balance, consistency in past contraceptive use, and stages of change for contraceptive use in college students. Study design: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on a convenience sample of 185 Korean college students. Data collection was conducted by three trained research assistants over a six-month period in 2013. Path analysis with AMOS software was used to identify the effects of predictor variables on stages of change for contraceptive use. Results: Social influences, consistency in past contraception use, and self-efficacy had a direct effect on the stages of change for contraception use. Although decisional balance did not show a direct effect, it had a significant indirect effect on the stages of change through self-efficacy. These predicting variables explained 40% of the variance of stages of change for contraception use. Conclusions: The results suggested that the TTM is useful in explaining college students' contraceptive behavior and that self-efficacy partially mediated the role of cognitive (social influence) and behavioral (past contraception use) factors on the stages of change for contraceptive use.
