Background: PPIUCD has been introduced in the national family welfare program since March 2010 in several states. AN IUCD can be inserted in 48 hours postpartum, referred to here as postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device. This study was done to assess the Knowledge, attitude and practice of postpartum Intrauterine contraceptive device in antenatal patients at a tertiary care centre in Northern India.Methods: This is a questionnaire based cross sectional observational study including 350 antenatal women attending antenatal OPD over a period of 6 months.Results: Out of these 350 women, 126 women (36%) had knowledge of PPIUCD. only 30 % of women had previous knowledge about PPIUCD however only 10 % of women practiced it in the past. After appropriate counselling 18% of women agreed for insertion of PPIUCD after this delivery.Conclusions: The study concludes that the antenatal women had poor knowledge regarding PPIUCD. Practices were even worse. This might be attributed to low education ,  refusal by family especially male partner, and religious beliefs. But once appropriate knowledge and information is provided, attitude gradually changes.

Objective: The post-partum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) is a highly effective, long acting, reversible, economical and easily accessible family planning method. The aim of the study was to estimate the proportion of pregnant women aware of immediate post-partum intrauterine contraceptive device and to analyze the factors associated with acceptance. Methodology: This is a cross sectional study in which 300 pregnant were selected who were visiting the antenatal clinics and admitted in early labor in labor ward. Their awareness and acceptance for PPIUCD was assessed through a structured questionnaire. Factors associated with acceptance were analyzed and the reasons for acceptance or refusal were determined. Results: In this study the awareness of PPIUCD was found to be 46% and the acceptance rate of PPIUCD was 18%. The major reason for refusal was that women don’t think they need contraception immediately after delivery and secondly, they need to talk to their partners for the decision. Most common reasons for acceptance of PPIUCD was that it is long acting and reversible. Gravidity (p= 0.006), parity (p< 0.001), unplanned pregnancy (p= 0.002) and inter pregnancy interval (p= 0.004) were the factors significantly influencing the acceptance of PPIUCD. Conclusion: This study revealed that awareness regarding PPIUCD is increasing in women but acceptance is still poor. It was due to misconception that no contraception is needed in postpartum period. Provision of adequate knowledge regarding convenience and effectiveness of post-partum contraception in preventing unintended pregnancies can play vital role to increase its acceptance.

Background: Postpartum intrauterine device provides an effective temporary method of contraception for the woman who needs birth spacing rather than birth limitation and also a quasi-permanent family planning method. The aim of this study was to study the efficacy, acceptance, safety and complication of PPIUCD insertion.Method: This a retrospective analytical study done in a tertiary care teaching institute, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Egmore for a six-year period from January 2010 to December 2015 with a sample size of 81204. Outcomes measured were safety, efficacy, acceptance (patients and professionals) and complications.Results: For the study period of six years the total number of women delivered were 81204. A steady increase was noted in the insertion of PPIUCD from 2010 (1.98%) to 2015 (58%). 50.5% had insertion following caesarean section and 49.5% following vaginal delivery. Primipara had a higher rate of acceptance amounting to 74.74%. Most common complication reported was missing strings 9.25% and a greater part of the patients (83%) did not have any complaints.Conclusions: Enthusiasm and conviction on the part of the health care provider goes a long way in improving the acceptance rate of PPIUCD. It is an indispensable contraceptive tool for our country since our women most often do not return for postnatal contraceptive options.

Postpartum period is very crucial for a woman especially for many of those belonging to the villages as this may be the only time she comes in contact with a health personnel and in a mood to listen health advice.
