Objective: With this study, we aimed to evaluate the knowledge, usage status and attitudes of young adult men about family planning and contraception methods, a group that has not been studied before in our country, and to determine the influencing factors. Method: This descriptive research was conducted on male individuals between the ages of 18-35 between June 2020 and July 2020 by applying an online e-questionnaire. In the study, a questionnaire form consisting of 25 questions in total and formed after the literature review was applied. The e-questionnaire form developed by the researchers was shared 10 times over the web at three-day intervals. Results: 85.0% of the participants (n = 380) have experienced sexual intercourse at least once in their life. 55.7% of these people (n = 323) throughout their life; 21.1% of them have been with more than one partner in the last year. 89.2% of them do not plan to have a child in the next year. 65.9% of those who have had sexual intercourse have used contraceptive methods in their sexual intercourse. As the education level increases (p = 0.003), the increase in the frequency of using contraceptive methods was found to be statistically significant. Those who use alcohol (p = 0.004) and who think that men should be protected during sexual intercourse (p <0.001), use contraceptive methods more than others. Conclusion: Our study was conducted with a young adult male sample, and as a result, it was observed that more than half of the men used male contraceptive method together. In order to increase these rates, men to intervene in family planning by making a joint decision with their partner, and to increase the knowledge level of men, pre-marital applications should be evaluated as an opportunity, especially in primary health care centers and family health centers.

SummaryExamining waiting time to birth among newlywed couples is likely to provide insights into the desire for spacing births among newlywed husbands and wives. Data from the Indian National Family Health Survey of 2005–06 are used to examine the desired waiting time (DWT) to birth among newlywed couples. The dependent variable is spousal concordance on desired waiting times. Overall 65% of couples have concordant desired waiting times. Among discordant couples, wives were more likely to want to wait longer than their husbands. Couples from richer wealth quintiles were more likely than couples from the poorest quintile to have concordant desired waiting times. Muslims were less likely than Hindus to have concordant desires. There is a need for spacing contraceptive methods among newlyweds in India. This may have implications for the Indian Family Planning Programme, which to date has largely focused on sterilization. Programmes need to include newlywed husbands to promote use of spacing methods.

The purpose of this study was to assess factors associated with the use of family planning at first sexual intercourse among young adults aged 15 to 24 in urban Ecuador. The study population consisted of 1443 young adults (494 females and 949 males) in the cities of Quito and Guayaquil, interviewed by the 1988 Ecuador Young Adult Reproductive Health Survey, who reported having experienced consensual sexual intercourse. Approximately 11% of females and 15% of males reported using contraception at first intercourse. Binary logistic regression was performed to assess jointly the effect of multiple factors on contraceptive use at first intercourse. The regression model was first run on the entire study population and then separately for males and females. In the overall population, the following variables were significantly related to using family planning at first sex: being male; being from Guayaquil; older age; father's completion of secondary school. Having lost one's virginity to a prostitute was significantly associated with non-use of family planning. Males were 3·6 times more likely than females to use family planning during their first sexual intercourse. For each year older a young adult was at first sex, his or her odds of using family planning was multiplied by a factor of 1·3. Twenty-eight per cent of males in this study experienced their first sexual intercourse with a prostitute, and these young men were highly unlikely to use family planning. A male who experienced first intercourse with his girlfriend was more than five times as likely to use contraception than a male who lost his virginity to a prostitute.

This study aims to identify the factors that favor the use of modern contraceptive methods in non-pregnant women who need to space or limit births. The analyzes were made using SPSS software (statistical package for social sciences) version 25. The data used in this publication comes from a TRAC survey on family planning carried out by the Family Health Association / Population Service international (ASF / PSI) in DRC. Continuously Tracking Results surveys are knowledge surveys, attitudes, and practices of women in matters of family planning but with the introduction of questions on scales as mentioned above. This survey concerned 1965 women aged 15 to 49 selected in urban and peri-urban areas of the provincial city of Kinshasa. Our results show that the discussion between partner or spouse on the use of modern contraceptive methods positively influences the majority of women (OR = 4.28; p <0.001),being part of a social norm (OR = 3.30; p <0.01) and having a high socioeconomic level (OR = 2.54; p <0.01), also favor positively the use of modern contraceptives. The paper concludes that any effort to increase contraceptive prevalence should target attitude, level of knowledge of methods, and spousal support to optimize the use of modern contraception in the city of Kinshasa.

Abstract Despite persistent efforts, unmet need for contraceptives in India has declined only slightly from 14% to 13% between 2005–06 and 2015–16. Many women using a family planning method discontinue it without switching to another method and continue to have unmet need. This study quantified the share of current unmet need for modern contraceptive methods attributed to past users of these methods in India. Data were drawn from two rounds of the National Family Health Survey conducted in 2005–06 and 2015–16. Using information on women with current unmet need, and whether they used any modern method in the past, the share of past users with current unmet need for modern methods was calculated. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Among 46 million women with unmet need, 11 million were past users of modern methods in 2015–16. The share of current unmet need attributed to past users of modern contraceptive methods declined from 27% in 2005–06 to 24% in 2015–16. Share of current unmet need attributed to past users was associated with reversible method use. This share rose with increased use of modern reversible methods. With the Indian family planning programme’s focus on increasing modern reversible method use, the share of unmet need attributed to past users of modern methods is likely to increase in the future. The programme’s emphasis on continuation of contraceptive use, along with bringing in new users, could be one of the key strategies for India to achieve the FP2020 goals.

The aim of this study was to identify the care provided by health professionals who work in family planning, in a Family Health Unit in the municipality of Ribeirao Preto, São Paulo. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional and quali-quantitative study. Data were collected through interviews with 11 health professionals. The results revealed that most professionals had not received training in family planning, and that information about contraceptive methods is transmitted in an individual way, having women as the target-public. The contraceptive methods which the professionals suggest and offer more are those considered most effective. These findings indicate that family planning care at the Family Health Unit needs to be adjusted not only to ensure quality of service, but also to ensure sexual and reproductive rights.

ABSTRACTObjective: to analyze the development of educational activities promoted by professional nurses for lactating women, during family planning, as part of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) program in the urban areas of Caruaru Municipality, Pernambuco, Brazil. Method: descriptive and exploratory quantitative field research and non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The sample was composed of 27 nurses. The data were collected from a questionnaire including 19 objective questions after written informed consent was obtained (protocol 576/09, registered under the Ethics Committee in Research from the Associação Caruaruense de Ensino Superior). Results: during the analysis, it was noted that most of the nurses (88.5%) had promoted educational activities regarding family planning and declared the need for related periodic professional training. The use of condoms was mentioned as the most appropriate method during lactation and also for lactating multiparous women. Conclusion: the FHS program does not involve educational activities focusing on family planning, missing an opportunity to expound on contraceptive methods. This study verified that education is given by most of the nurses who guide lactating women toward correct contraceptive methods that do not pose risks to breastfeeding. Descriptors: contraception; puerperium; breastfeeding; family planning.RESUMOObjetivo: analisar o desenvolvimento de atividades educativas às lactantes realizadas pelos enfermeiros (as) durante o planejamento familiar nas Estratégias de Saúde da Família (ESF) da zona urbana do município de Caruaru.

A community based comparative cross-sectional study design was employed to assess the mutual consent of women about family planning use in urban and rural villages of Gedeo zone. Two-thirds (67.4%) of women made joint decision on contraceptive use, varying between urban (70.9%) and rural (63.4%) settings. This difference was statistically significant where women in urban setup had a 41% (AOR, 1.41; 95% CI (1.15, 2.01) added chance of making joint decision than the rural counterpart. In both settings, attitude towards contraceptive method was an independent predictor of joint contraceptive decision (AOR = 2.85) in urban and (AOR = 2.81) rural women. Contrarily, different factors were found to be associated with joint contraceptive decision in either setup. In urban, having better knowledge about contraceptive methods (AOR = 2.9) and having lower age difference (AOR = 2.2) were found to be strong predictors of joint decision on contraceptive use, while having too many children (AOR = 2.2) and paternal support (AOR = 7.1) in rural setups. Lower level of joint decision making on contraceptive use was reported in both setups. Factors associated with joint decision varied between the two setups, except for attitude towards contraceptive methods. Future family planning program should address sociocultural, knowledge and attitude factors.
