Structured Questionnaire

Objective. To identify reproductive health barriers and perceptions regarding family planning among mothers in ten rural communities of Guatemala. Methods. Data were collected from 85 women in a Nutrition Recuperation Project (NRP) conducted by a freestanding nonprofit clinic in Palajunoj Valley, Guatemala. All nonpregnant women participating in the NRP were eligible for enrollment in this study, and NRP staff members aided in their enrollment. Participants were interviewed and data were entered into a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using R version 1.1.456. Results. After asking participants if they believed fertility is higher on certain days, only 5 women (5.9%) correctly identified these days as occurring in the middle of the menstrual cycle. 35 women (41.2%) practiced some form of family planning, and 27 (31.8%) reported that they do not know of a place where they could obtain a contraceptive method. Conclusion. There is a lack of education regarding family planning methods in this valley, and the levels of contraception use are below average for rural Guatemala. These findings may implicate substantial health risks for women and children in the valley, and they support the pertinence of education-based interventions in the area of reproductive health behaviors.

Abstract Background: Despite availability of modern family planning methods and a desire for smaller families, many women decide to forgo modern methods due to anticipated side effects. The goal of this study was to examine the use of modern family planning in one district in rural Ghana, and to understand the role that side effects play in women’s decisions to start or continue use. Methods: This exploratory mixed-methods study included 281 surveys and 33 in-depth interviews of women 18-49 years old from the Amansie West District of Ghana. The survey assessed contraceptive use and potential predictors of use. In-depth interviews examined the context around uptake and continuation of contraceptive use, with a particular focus on the role of perceived and experienced side effects. Results: The prevalence of unmet need for modern family planning among sexually active women who wanted to avoid pregnancy (n=135) was 68.9%. No factors were found to be significantly different in comparing those with a met need and unmet for modern family planning. Qualitative interviews revealed significant concerns about side effects stemming from previous method experiences and/or rumors regarding short-term impacts and perceived long-term consequences of family planning use. Conclusion: As programs have improved women’s ability to access modern family planning, it is paramount to address patient-level barriers to uptake, in particular information about side effects and misconceptions about long-term use. Unintended pregnancies can be reduced through comprehensive counseling about contraceptive options including accurate information about side effects, and the development of new contraceptive technologies that meet women’s needs in low-income countries.

We considered the thematic categories that emerged from the Content Analysis Technique after analyzing the articles. Results: 1725 articles were identified, selecting 37, which showed an increase in male participation through vasectomy and the shared decision. It was verified that the low service offer and the low level of orientation on the part of the users are the main factors that imply the participation of the man in the family planning actions. Conclusion: barriers have emerged in the analysis of publications and in the access of men to family planning related to both the poor supply of services and methods, as well as disinformation.

Abstract Background Long-acting contraceptive methods can play a pivotal role in ining reducing maternal mortality. In The total fertility rate of Ethiopia is as high as 4.6 children per woman, which is manifested by short birth-interval. However, this rapid population growth is not in line with the weak economic growth of the country. Therefore, this study was done to explore the lived experiences of women who underwent early removal of long-acting contraceptive methods in Bedesa town, Southern Ethiopia. Methods A phenomenological study design was employed from April 16–22, 2020 to conduct this qualitative study among Bedessa town community. Individual In-depth interviews were used to collect data from a sampled study participants recruited through criterion sampling method. Based on the theoretical saturation of data, this study included a total of 10 in-depth interviews of sampled women.. Open code version 4.03 was used to code and facilitate analysis. The study used thematic analysis technique after the transcripts were read and re-read separately by the investigators to identify emerging themes. Results This study revealed that the majority of participants were able to mention at least three types of contraceptive methods. Participants frequently said that the side effect of the long-acting family planning methods as the main reason for early removal. Furthermore, heavy and irregular menses were mentioned as the most frequently occurring side effects. Delayed fertility after removal of long-acting contraceptive was one of frequently stated fear by the clients. Some of the participants indicated that counseling provided by health professionals was not adequate. Conclusion The majority of our study participants taught that the side effects of long-acting family planning methods outweigh than benefits. Besides, the counseling service provided by health care providers was not adequate. Therefore, proper counseling services should be given to mothers who are taking long-acting family planning methods.

Abstract Background The importance of modern contraceptive methods in averting unwanted pregnancies has been acknowledged in Malawi. Currently, the country has registered highest rates of unsafe abortions, slow decline in maternal mortality, unmet needs for contraception and a low contraceptive prevalence rate. Understanding why these rates exist is important. However, women’s views and experiences regarding uptake of family planning methods in Malawi have not been explored.Methods A grounded theory methodology was used. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with women (n=18), men (n=10), healthcare workers (n=10); and non-participant observations of family planning clinic consultations (n=10) at three health centre settings in Malawi. Interviews, field notes and memos were analysed using constant comparative technique. Methods of open, axial and selective coding enabled subsequent conceptualisations until theoretical saturation occurred.Results The core category “disenabling environment prevents women’s family planning needs from being met” provides an understanding of women’s, men’s and healthcare workers’ experiences of contraceptive use and non-use. The disenabling environment contributed to shaping women’s family planning experiences. This was supported by three main categories: navigating the processes, disempowerment of women and learning by chance. Access to contraception use was influenced by personal beliefs and motivations, procedures to follow and inadequate resources. Women were disempowered from using contraception due to societal demands and cultural influences.Conclusion Findings from this study illuminate contextual issues into how women, men and healthcare workers experience family planning use and non-use in Malawi. A multifaceted strategy is required to support a woman’s family planning needs. At community level, awareness and education of family planning methods is required to actively inform all people in society so that they support a woman’s family planning needs. At national level, laws that would empower women with decision-making ought to be developed and enforced.

This study sought to examine the extent of male partners’ participation in family planning in Tarime District, Tanzania. The study adapted a mixed research design to generate data through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and questionnaires. The instruments were employed to 312 respondents. The analysis was done using descriptive statistics and thematic approach. The major findings indicated that men were the major decision makers within the household because in many situations, they owned the family income and they were the breadwinners. Study participants had different perceptions of family planning methods but generally, fear of side effects was found to be the major hindrance to enhanced use of family planning methods. Furthermore, some people associated the use of family planning with unfaithfulness or promiscuity. The study recommends that it is important to consider the multiplicity of social realities in the efforts to improve the acceptability of the modern family planning services. In addition, efforts need to be intensified to encourage partner communication and engagement in order to improve the family planning practices. Future family planning programs should look at addressing underlying social norms leading to gender inequality and lack of joint decision-making. Finally, family planning programs should encourage communication and joint decision-making among couples in households.
