Background:  Despite decreased fertility rate, East Kalimantan Province still facing unmet needs. Moreover, almost all contraceptive use in East Kalimantan depends on short-acting contraceptive methods. Only a few studies have ever been conducted on women's autonomy in relation to  Long-Acting Permanent Contraception Methods (LAPMs) choices. It is, therefore, essential to find the associated factors affecting LAPMs uptake. This study aimed to analyze the influence of sociodemographic, knowledge, women's autonomy and fertility on LAPMs uptake at the household level. Methods: The data derived from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2017 of East Kalimantan Province. As much as 570 women of childbearing age (10–49 years) with marital status who still using contraception in any method was included as samples.  Results: Factors correlate with the uptake of LAPMs in the bivariate analysis were age, insurance ownership, family planning knowledge and women's autonomy (p value<0.05). While in the multivariate analysis only women autonomy and insurance ownership were related to the uptake of LAPMs. Conclusion: This finding provides evidence for including women empowerment programs in the family planning program. Keywords: Family planning, women autonomy, long acting contraceptive methods

Background: India with 1.35 billion people is the second most populated country in the world next to China. Total fertility rate of India is 2.2 and the current total fertility rate of Jammu and Kashmir is 1.7 which is still lagging behind various states. This study was conducted to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practices of contraception in women of reproductive age in this set up.Methods: The present cross-sectional study was carried out in patients attending OPD (outpatient department) of Obstetrics and Gynecology at ASCOMS, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, India from 1st September 2017 to 31st August 2018. 200 married women aged between 18-49 years were included in this study. Socio-demographic characteristics of the women, their knowledge, attitude and practices on contraception were evaluated with the help of predesigned questionnaire.Results: Out of 200 women, maximum respondents belong to age group of 21-25 years (75.6%). Most of the contraceptive non-users belongs to age below 20 years (62.5%). Majority of respondents were Hindu (70.37%), maximum studied up to secondary level education (84.61%), 70.30% were housewives and 56.58% belongs to middle class. In 45% of respondents, media was the main source of information. Preferred spacing method was condom in 85% of cases. 68% women had knowledge of female sterilization.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects young people of reproductive age (20-40 years old), predominantly women. Therefore, almost every patient has questions about pregnancy and breastfeeding. Family planning is one of the key issues in the choice of treatment tactics. Despite the growing number of therapeutic options for individualized treatment, it is still a question how to manage women with MS who become pregnant while taking disease-modifying drugs or want to become pregnant after starting this treatment. Conclusions: Women with MS should not be discouraged from pregnancy due to their illness. It is necessary to proactively discuss pregnancy planning with all women with MS of childbearing age. Based on available data, interferon beta and glatiramer acetate appear to be most suitable for use up until the time of confirmed pregnancy. A large amount of data (more than 1000 cases) obtained from registries shows that use of interferon beta before conception and during pregnancy suggests no evidence of increase in the rate of congenital anomalies or spontaneous abortions. For women with persistent high disease activity, pulsed immune reconstitution therapy gives additional opportunity for family planning after the last dose. The choice between available options for pulsed immune reconstitution therapy should be based on efficacy balanced against the risks.

Meskipun terdapat penurunan fertilitas, namun program keluarga berencana masih menghadapi peningkatan angka putus pakai. Pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang faktor-faktor di balik putus pakai metode kontrasepsi modern akan membantu meningkatkan program. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis faktor-faktor penentu putus pakai penggunaan kontrasepsi modern. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional, set data berasal dari Survei Demografi Kesehatan Indonesia 2017 untuk Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Sampel adalah semua pasangan usia subur berusia 10–49 tahun dengan status perkawinan baik bagi yang pernah menggunakan dan masih menggunakan kontrasepsi, yaitu 408 sampel. Analisis deskriptif digunakan untuk menilai alasan putus pakai. Regresi logistik berganda digunakan untuk memperkirakan kemungkinan putus pakai berdasar atas karakteristik demografis dan lainnya. Proporsi responden yang masih terus menggunakan kontrasepsi modern adalah 51% dibanding dengan 49% putus pakai. Alasan penghentian adalah ketidaksetujuan suami (31%) dan masalah kesehatan yang berkaitan dengan efek samping (26,5%). Dalam analisis multivariat menunjukkan usia ibu, wanita yang tinggal di daerah perkotaan, dan wanita dengan perencanaan kelahiran dalam waktu dekat akan memiliki kesempatan untuk berhenti menggunakan kontrasepsi modern. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa kejadian putus pakai kontrasepsi modern masih tinggi di Kalimantan Timur, oleh karena itu diperlukan diseminasi informasi melalui entertainment-education dalam sosial media, layanan konseling dari petugas kesehatan, serta alat bantu konseling yang lebih baik dan juga keikutsertaan pria dalam proses konseling.
