 Background: Family planning contributes in preventing maternal and child mortality and empowers women. For the past ten years contraceptive prevalence rate has remained stagnant in Nepal. This study aimed at iden­tifying the use and factors associated with modern contraceptive methods in Piple, Chitwan, Nepal. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. Piple village development com­mittee was selected purposively, in which two wards were randomly se­lected. Married women of reproductive age (n=332) of each household were interviewed. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analysis were performed. Results: About half (49%) of the respondents had used a modern contra­ceptive method. Women in the age groups 25-39 years [aOR: 2.39; 95% CI: 1.16 - 4.92] and 40-49 years [aOR: 4.67; 95% CI: 1.71 - 12.70] were more likely to use modern contraceptives compared to the women in the age group 15-24 years. Similarly, women having 3 or more living children [aOR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.19 - 7.50] were more likely to use the modern contracep­tives than women with upto two children. Women whose husbands would approve of using the contraceptives [aOR: 11.33; 95% CI: 3.93-32.62] were more likely to use the methods than those who got or perceived no ap­proval from husband. Conclusions: Information and service on modern contraceptive methods should be focused to younger women. Involvement of husbands in family planning program would contribute to use of modern contraceptives by women.

Background: Approximeately 24 percent of married women of reproductive age in Pakistan would like to adopt family planning, but are unable to avail the means to practice contraception. This study has been conducted to find out frequency and perception about family planning practices and further to explore and analyze the causes of failure to meet the demand for contraception. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on married females of reproductive age group and married males while visiting the outpatient departments of two hospitals of Quetta from January to September 2017. They were interviewed by researchers through a structured, reliable and pretested questionnaire. The data obtained and analyzed by using SPSS 21 version. Results: 76% of participants were in favour of practicing yet only 33.8% had actually practiced it sometime during their reproductive years. The major reasons for not using family planning were the apprehension of harmful effects of contraceptive methods (52.6%), non-supportive partner (30%), unavailability of services (11.4%) and religious constraints (6%). The mass media was the main source of motivational information(69%) followed by Lady health workers. Conclusion: The current prevalence of family planning is still not at the expected level, There is a dire need of the continued use of mass media and services of community health workers to raise awareness. The practice of modern contraceptive methods can be enhanced by provision of client-centered quality services.. An increase in the number of family planning centers along with an efficient functioning, monitoring, and evaluation are also required to address unmet needs of the community near their doorstep.

Background: Unmet need for family planning refers to the percentage of fecund women of reproductive age either married or in union, women who either wish to postpone the next birth (spacers) or who wish to stop child bearing (limiters) but are not using a contraceptive method. This clearly indicates a gap between a woman’s reproductive intention and current contraceptive behaviour. The objectives of the present study was to determine the prevalence of unmet need for family planning, to assess the association between socio-demographic characteristics and unmet need of family planning, to identify the reasons for unmet need.Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted from June to August 2018 in Ankuli (UHTC). A total of 188 ever married women in the reproductive age group were selected by simple random sampling.Results: Out of 188 women, 41 (21.8%) had no need for contraception and needs for family planning of 78 (41.5%) women had been met. The prevalence of unmet need for family planning was 36.7% consists of 24 (12.8%)  spacing need and 45 (23.9%)  limiting need. It was found that age, education of women, age at marriage, number of living children, contraceptive knowledge and inter-spousal communication were significantly associated with unmet need for family planning. The most common reason for not using any contraceptive method was fear of side effects (40.6%).Conclusions: The unmet need for family planning was high and in order to reduce the gap, the program should address the above reasons.

Abstract Background Family planning plays a key role in improving the health of the mother and the child. Yet there are still significant levels of demand for family planning that are unmet and these can lead to unintended pregnancy. So, women’s demand for contraceptive utilization to limit, space, or delay the number of family size can be increased by integrating family planning service at each service delivery points. Objective The main aim of this study was to assess the demand for modern contraceptive and associated factors among currently married women of the reproductive age group in rural kebeles of Nunu Kumba District, 2015. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from January 15–30, 2015 among 584 systematically selected currently married women of reproductive age in six rural kebeles of Nunu Kumba District. A pre-tested and interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics were done to summarize the data. A multivariate logistic regressions analysis method was employed and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to control for possible confounders. P-value < 0.05 was used to declare a significant association. Results The total demand for modern methods of contraceptive was 450 (77.1%) of which 325 (55.7%) of them were current user and 125 (21.4%) of them were had unmet need for modern contraceptive methods. Being in the younger age group (15–24 and 25–34 years [AOR = 0.196; 95% CI: 0.055, 0.692] and [AOR = 0.179, 95% CI: 0.043, 0.745] respectively, husband having no intention for more children [AOR = 4.124, 95% CI: 1.891, 8.996], number of children alive [AOR = 2.617, 95% CI: 1.056, 6.486], and couples ever not discussed on family planning [AOR = 0.340, 95% CI: 0.187, 0.619] were factors associated with demand for modern methods of contraception. Conclusion The total demand for modern methods of contraceptive was high in the study area except for long-acting and permanent methods with high unmet need for spacing than for limiting. Therefore, any program aimed at promoting family planning at the district level should look for ways and means of increasing demand for long-acting and permanent family planning methods and encouraging husband involvement to increase its utilization.

Perimenopausal Women

The aim of this study was to determine contraceptive method use in perimenopausal women. This cross-sectional study was carried out in XXXXXXXXXXX Hospital between 6 June and 7 September in 2016. The study sample included 243 women selected through random sampling, a non-probability sampling. Data were collected with a questionnaire created by the researchers in light of the literature. The analysis of the data obtained from the research was carried out in the SPSS 20.0 package program. Percentage ratios, arithmetic mean and standard deviation, chi square test have been used in analysis of data. The mean age of the women was 47.7±3.4 years. At the time of the study, 77.4% of the women were using a contraceptive method, but 22.6% of the women were not using any contraceptive methods. The most frequent method was intrauterine device at the rate of 25.1%. Twenty-three-point nine percent of the women had tubal ligation and 14.8% of the women were using withdrawal. Formerly, the most frequently used modern contraceptive method had been contraceptive pills at the rate of 53.8%. The second most frequent former method had been male condom at the rate of 46.5% and the third most frequent former method had been copper intrauterine device at the rate of 32.9%. Nine-point nine percent of the women had not used any contraceptive methods previously. Fifty-four-point three percent of the women did not know how long they should use a contraceptive method after their periods ended due to menopause. The decreased rate of contraceptive use and not knowing how long contraceptives should be used in perimenopausal women reveal an unfulfilled need for counseling in these women. It can be recommended that perimenopausal women should be provided counseling appropriate for their age and needs. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Bu araştırmanın amacı perimenopozal dönemdeki kadınların kontraseptif yöntem kullanım durumlarını belirlemektir. Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma XXXXXXXXXXX Hastanesi’nde 06/06/2016 ile 07/09/2016 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 243 kadın oluşturmuş ve örnekleme alınacak kadınları belirlemede olasılıksız örnekleme yöntemlerinden gelişigüzel örnekleme yöntemi seçilmiştir. Araştırma verileri, araştırmacılar tarafından literatüre uygun elde edilen soru formu ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS 20,0 paket programında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde, yüzdelik oranlar, aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma, ve Ki kare testi kullanılmıştır. Kadınların yaş ortalamaları 47,7±3,4’dir.  Kadınların %77,4’ü halen gebelikten korunmak için bir yöntem kullanırken %22,6’sı hiçbir yöntem kullanmamaktadır. Şuanda kullanılan kontraseptif yöntemin en yüksek oranda (%25,1) rahim içi araç (RİA) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kadınlar %23,9 oranında tüp ligasyon ve %14,8 oranında ise geri çekme yöntemi ile gebelikten korunmaktadırlar. Araştırmaya katılan kadınların yarıdan fazlası (%53,8) geçmişte gebelikten korunmak için modern yöntem olarak hap kullanmıştır. Erkek kondomu %46,5 oranı ile ikinci sırada yer alırken, %32,9 oranı ile bakırlı RİA üçüncü sırada kullanılmıştır. Yöntem kullanmayan kadın oranı ise %9,9’dur. Kadınların %54,3’ü menopoz nedeni ile adetten kesildikten sonra ne kadar süre daha gebelikten korunmaları gerektiğini bilmemektedir. Perimenopozal dönemde yöntem kullanımının azalması ve bu dönemde ne kadar süre gebelikten korunması gerektiğinin bilinmemesi kadınların karşılanamayan danışmanlık gereksinimlerinin olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu danışmanlığın kadının yaşına ve ihtiyacına uygun verilmesi önerilebilir.

Rural Zambia

ObjectiveZambia is among the world’s top 10 countries with higher fertility rate (5.5 births/woman); unmet family planning need for births spacing (14%) and limiting births (7%). Women in rural Zambia (24%) are reported to have unmet need for family planning than those in urban areas (17%). This study was conducted to ascertain factors associated with modern contraceptive use among rural Zambian women.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingRural Zambia.ParticipantsSecondary data of 4903 married or cohabiting rural women (15–49 years) after filtering out the pregnant, urban based and unmarried women from 2013 to 2014 Zambian Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS) were analysed using SPSS V.22. Multiple logistic regression, Pearson’s χ2and descriptive statistics were performed to examine factors associated with modern contraceptive use.ResultsFactors that were positively associated with contraceptive use were respondent’s education (secondary adjusted ORs (AOR = 1.61, p≤0.002); higher (AOR = 2.39, p≤0.050)), wealth index (middle class, (AOR = 1.35, p≤0.005); rich (AOR = 2.04, p≤0.001) and richest (AOR = 1.95, p≤0.034)), high parity (1–2 (AOR = 5.31, p≤0.001); 3–4 (AOR = 7.06, p≤0.001); 5+ (AOR = 8.02, p≤0.001)), men older than women by <10 years (AOR = 1.50, p≤0.026) and women sensitised about family planning at health facility (AOR = 1.73, p≤0.001). However, old age (40–49 years (AOR = 0.49, p≤0.001)), other religions (Protestants, African traditionalists and Muslims) (AOR = 0.77, p≤0.007), ever had pregnancy miscarried, aborted or stillbirth (AOR = 0.78, p≤0.026) and women without knowledge of number of children husband desires (AOR = 0.71, p≤0.001) were negatively associated with contraceptive use.ConclusionModern contraceptive use in rural Zambia among currently married women of reproductive age group is relatively low (43%). We recommend that appropriate interventions are instituted to increase contraceptive access and use especially among uneducated older rural Zambian women.
