Effectiveness of Midwifery Care for Family Planning (KB) Acceptors with IUD (Intrauterine Device): Study in Kayu Kul Village, Pegasing, Central Aceh, Indonesia

Family planning (KB) is one of the Indonesian government's priority programs to control the rate of population growth. IUD (Intrauterine Device) is an effective and popular family planning method in Indonesia. Quality midwifery care is important to ensure successful IUD use and increase acceptor satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of midwifery care for family planning acceptors with IUDs in Kayu Kul Village, Pegasing, Central Aceh, Indonesia. This study used a cross-sectional observational design involving family planning acceptors with IUDs in Kayu Kul Village, Pegasing, Central Aceh, Indonesia. Data was collected through structured interviews and observations of midwifery care provided to acceptors. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of family planning acceptors with IUDs (80%) received effective midwifery care. Effective midwifery care includes: complete health screening, comprehensive education about IUD use, counseling about IUD side effects and complications, and regular monitoring of IUD use. Acceptors who received effective midwifery care had a higher level of satisfaction (90%) compared to acceptors who did not receive effective midwifery care (60%). Effective midwifery care has been proven to increase family planning acceptor satisfaction with the IUD. Therefore, it is important to improve the quality of midwifery care at Health Centers to ensure successful use of IUDs and increase acceptor satisfaction.

Effects of a community-based, multi-level family planning intervention on theoretically grounded intermediate outcomes for couples in rural Uganda: Results from a mixed methods pilot evaluation.

This study tested the theoretically grounded conceptual model of a multi-level intervention, Family Health = Family Wealth (FH = FW), by examining FH = FW's effect on intermediate outcomes among couples in rural Uganda. FH = FW is grounded in the social-ecological model and the social psychological theory of transformative communication. A pilot quasi-experimental controlled trial. Two matched clusters (communities) were randomly allocated to receive the FH = FW intervention or an attention/time-matched water, sanitation and hygiene intervention (N = 140, 35 couples per arm). Quantitative outcomes were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires at baseline, 7-months and 10-months follow-up. Focus group discussions (n = 39) and semi-structured interviews (n = 27) were conducted with subsets of FH = FW participants after data collection. Generalized estimated equations tested intervention effects on quantitative outcomes, and qualitative data were analysed through thematic analysis-these data were mixed and are presented by level of the social-ecological model. The findings demonstrated an intervention effect on family planning determinants across social-ecological levels. Improved individual-level family planning knowledge, attitudes and intentions, and reduced inequitable gender attitudes, were observed in intervention versus comparator, corroborated by the qualitative findings. Interpersonal-level changes included improved communication, shared decision-making and equitable relationship dynamics. At the community level, FH = FW increased perceived acceptance of family planning among others (norms), and the qualitative findings highlighted how FH = FW's transformative communication approach reshaped definitions of a successful family to better align with family planning. This mixed methods pilot evaluation supports FH = FW's theoretically grounded conceptual model and ability to affect multi-level drivers of a high unmet need for family planning.

Pattern and determinants of contraceptive use among the muslim women in Wajir and Lamu counties in Kenya: a cross-sectional study.

Improving access to family planning (FP) is associated with positive health benefits that includes averting nearly a third of all maternal deaths and 10% of childhood deaths. Kenya has made great strides in improving access to family planning services. However, amid this considerable progress, regional variation has been noted which begs the need for a clearer understanding of the the patterns and determinants that drive these inconsistencies. We conducted a cross-sectional study that involved 663 Muslim women of reproductive age (15-49 years) from Wajir and Lamu counties in Kenya between March and October 2018.The objective of this study was to understand patterns and determinants of contraceptive use in two predominantly Muslim settings of Lamu and Wajir counties that have varying contraceptive uptake. Eligible women were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire containing socio-demographic information and history of family planning use. Simple and multiple logistic regression were used to identify determinants of family planning use. The results were presented as Crude Odds Ratio (COR) and Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) ratios at 95% confidence interval. A p-value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Of the 663 Muslim women of reproductive age consenting to participate in the study, 51.5%, n = 342 and 48.5%, n = 321 were from Lamu and Wajir County, respectively. The prevalence of women currently using contraceptive was 18.6% (n = 123). In Lamu, the prevalence was 32.8%, while in Wajir, it was 3.4%. The determinants of current contraceptive use in Lamu include; marital status, age at marriage, employment status, discussion with a partner on FP, acceptability of FP in culture, and willingness to obtain information on FP. While in Wajir, determinants of current contraceptive use were education, and the belief that family planning is allowed in Islam. Our study found moderately high use of contraceptives among Muslim women of reproductive age in Lamu county and very low contraceptive use among women in Wajir. Given the role of men in decision making, it is critical to design male involvement strategy particularly in Wajir where the male influence is very prominent. It is critical for the government to invest in women and girls' education to enhance their ability to make informed decisions; particularly in Wajir where FP uptake is low with low education attainment. Further, our findings highlight the need for culturally appropriate messages and involvement of religious leaders to demystify the myths and misconception around family planning and Islam particularly in Wajir.

Social-cultural factors influencing modern contraceptive uptake among women of the reproductive age in Turkana County, Kenya

Background: Modern contraceptive is pivotal for reproductive health, averting unplanned pregnancies, lowering maternal mortality, and enhancing women's well-being. Despite global strides, challenges still persist in adoption of modern family planning methods in regions, like Turkana County, Kenya with a 30.7% adoption rate marking high unmet contraception needs. This study delved into determining social-cultural factors impacting uptake of modern contraceptive in the remote area of Turkana, Kenya. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was employed. The 360 participants were sampled from households using systematic random sampling. Data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0. Data analysis included frequencies, proportions and Chi-square tests to unveil vital variable correlations. Data was presented in tables, graphs and pie charts. Results: The study revealed higher utilization of modern contraceptives at 53%. Cultural factors associated with Modern contraceptive uptake included religion acceptance of family planning (χ2=6.997, p=0.008), myths and misconceptions (χ2=31.096, p=0.000), gender preference (χ2=28.876, p=0.000), cultural perception of child quantity (χ2=26.373, p=0.000), decision maker for family planning (χ2=19.745, p=0.000) and discussion with partner (χ2=55.063, p=0.000). Conclusions: In Turkana County, Kenya, socio-cultural factors seem to significantly shape modern contraceptive choices among women of reproductive age. Religious beliefs, misconceptions, and gender preferences influence decisions. Cultural norms impact family size views, and autonomy prevails. Tailored interventions addressing these issues are crucial for better reproductive health outcomes.

Factors influencing acceptance of family planning methods among women coming to immunization OPD: a cross sectional study

Background: Family planning is one of the most cost-effective interventions. Therefore, different factors influencing reasons behind non acceptance of family planning are necessary to be known in order to formulate good plans and policies. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted at immunization clinic of urban area. Systematic random sampling method was used. A pre-determined questionnaire was administered. Data was analysed using SPSS 22. Results: Only 42.63% women adopted family planning methods. The statistically significant predictors for uptake of family planning services are knowledge of contraceptives (p=0.000), school education (p=0.002), prior use of contraceptives (p=0.001) and age of mother. The reasons for non-acceptance of family planning practices were fertility related (21.2%), lack of knowledge (19.7%), opposition from family members (16.9%), breastfeeding (14.5%), not having intercourse (12%), method related side effects (8.5%) and preference to specific gender (2.1%). Conclusions: According to age group and number of children to women should be motivated by the health worker for the appropriate contraception choice and reasons for non-acceptance of family planning methods form the basis for the qualitative research studies.

The effect of integration of family planning education with infant vaccination visits on the uptake of postpartum family planning in Ile-Ife, Nigeria

Integration of maternal and child health services can improve service utilisation. An operations research was conducted in a Nigerian tertiary hospital. A pilot study was conducted at three family planning (FP) and vaccination sites. A formative assessment was carried out using client records and key-informant interviews. Pre- and post-integration questionnaires were administered to 715 women attending the infant vaccination clinics. Themes were developed from the qualitative data and some verbatim quotes were reported. The quantitative data were analysed using Stata, version 17. Univariate and multivariate analyses were done to compare associations between categorical independent and outcome variables where applicable, with level of significance set at <0.05 and 95% confidence interval. The health care workers were willing to integrate the two services but inadequate training and time constraint were key barriers. Significant increases in the knowledge of contraception (25.7% vs 34.7%, p = 0.001), intention to use contraception (31.2% vs 38.2%, p = 0.001), and number of new acceptors of FP (487 vs 664, p = 0.001), were recorded post-integration, even though it was difficult to determine whether the observed increase in new FP acceptors was due to increased patronage from the study participants and not from other clients who were not part of the study. Integration of FP education and infant vaccination services is a feasible and acceptable strategy for increasing contraceptive use among postpartum women, as vaccination clinic staff were willing to take on FP education along with their current duties. Impact statement What is already known on this subject? Few studies have reported on the outcomes related to FP and vaccination integration. What the results of this study add? A simple model of FP education and infant vaccination services integration is a feasible and acceptable strategy for increasing contraceptive use among postpartum women. However, inadequate training and time constraint were major concerns for healthcare providers. Implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Targeted family planning education and referral should be encouraged during infant vaccination visits. There is a need for further research to determine the providers’ skills necessary for integration and whether integration poses a risk to either service.

Wilcoxon test obtained z significance value which showed that FP counseling in the Islamic view was an effect on the participation in contraceptive selection for prospective FP acceptors at 0,000 with p value 0,000 &lt;0.005.

Compliance with DMPA contraceptive injection repeat visits during the Covid 19 pandemic

The 3-month of DMPA injectable contraceptive is one of the contraceptive methods that has decreased in the number of users during the Covid-19 pandemic. Acceptors of 3-month injectable contraceptives who do not comply with visits can reduce effectiveness and increase the risk of pregnancy. This study aims to examine the factors that influence the adherence of 3-month DMPA injection family planning acceptors during the Covid-19 pandemic. This was quantitative research with cross sectional design. The sample used in this study were 125 acceptors of 3-month DMPA injection family planning. Data was obtained by using a questionnaire. The analysis was performed using logistic regression. Based on multivariate analysis, there were 3 factors associated to adherence to DMPA injection repeat visits, namely family planning acceptor occupation　(OR=0.11, 95%CI= 0.04-0.31), knowledge (OR=3.59, 95%CI=1.34-9.58) and husband's support (OR=5.84, 95%CI=2.42-14.08). The most dominant factor was husband's support (OR=6.65, 95%CI=2.51-21.46). Husband's support is the most important factor that is strongly associated to injection repeat visits for DMPA family planning acceptors during the covid 19 pandemic. Good communication between partners is needed to increase DMPA injection repeat visits.

Improving the quality of health services needs to be done continuously. In general, family planning can be explained that family planning is an effort that regulates the number of births in such a way that for the mother and her baby and for the father and his family or the community concerned there will not be a loss as a direct result of the birth. In a narrow sense, family planning in everyday life revolves around preventing conception or preventing fertilization from meeting the sperm cells (spermatozoa) from men and egg cells (ova) from women. Family planning (KB) acceptors (users) have the right to receive services. quality health care and obtain the 7 rights of patients when they come to health facilities. The fulfillment of the right of family planning (KB) acceptors will be able to help improve the achievement of reproductive health services. The delivery of health information related to reproduction can help motivate family planning (KB) acceptors for a healthy lifestyle and in the end can improve health and save the lives of family planning (KB) acceptors themselves and save the lives of their children. To be able to provide optimal services, of course, adequate contraceptives are needed that are in accordance with the number of family planning (KB) acceptors (users). So the number of contraceptives such as birth control pills, KB injections, implants (Norpant), IUD (Spiral), vasectomy, and tubectomy must be proportional to the number of family planning (KB) acceptors. However, the problem that occurs is the difficulty in determining the number of new Family Planning (KB) participants (Family Planning acceptors) (KB). For this reason, forecasting is needed. So the number of facilities must be proportional to the number of family planning (KB) acceptors. However, the problem that occurs is the difficulty in determining the number of new family planning (KB) participants.

Knowledge Affects the Participation of Women of Reproductive Age in the Use of Long-Term Contraceptive Methods

The trend of acceptors of family planning in Indonesia so far shows less use of long-term contraceptive methods compared to short-term contraceptive methods. This may be due to limited knowledge or information obtained by women of childbearing age couples, so the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and participation of women of childbearing age in the use of long-term contraceptive methods. This type of correlation analytic research was a cross-sectional approach that was carried out in May-2012. June 2022. The research population was all female couples of childbearing age who used active contraception in the Petiken hamlet, Petiken village, Driyorejo Gresik District, totaling 345 women with a total sample of 182 women who met the inclusion criteria through simple random sampling. The data collection method was carried out directly with a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test. The results showed that knowledge influenced the participation of women of childbearing age in the use of long-term contraceptive methods (P = 0.000). Knowledge is a very important domain in the formation of one's actions so that a good level of knowledge will determine behavior in the use of long-term contraceptive methods.

Acceptance and choices of family planning methods of post- delivery women in a midwife obstetric unit in South Africa

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; Background. The benefit of utilising reliable family planning (FP) is adequate birth spacing, reducing unplanned and unwanted pregnancies, and minimising the chances of preterm birth and babies of low birthweight.Objectives. To estimate the choices and acceptance rates of FP methods among HIV-positive women immediately after delivery, and the factors associated with acceptance.&#x0D; Methods. A retrospective descriptive research design was implemented. All women who gave birth in a midwife obstetric unit (MOU) during January 2018 to December 2019 were included. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors for acceptance of any and or double FP methods.&#x0D; Results. A total of 1 442 women were included, and of these, the majority (93.4%) accepted any FP method. Double methods were accepted by 83% of women. The majority (84%) accepted injectable contraception. Only 7.1% accepted and inserted sub-dermal implants, and 7.2% intrauterine contraceptive devices. Women who did not initiate antenatal care (ANC) during pregnancy were 65% (odds ratio (OR) 0.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15 - 0.78, p=0.011) less likely to accept any FP method compared with those who had &gt;8 ANC visits. HIV-positive women with gestational age (GA) at delivery &lt;32 weeks, were 81% (OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.08 - 0.45, p&lt;0.001) were less likely to accept any FP method compared with those who delivered at term, and with GA at delivery 33 - 36 weeks the proportion was 48% (OR 0.52, 95% CI; 0.29 - 0.94, p=0.03) Similarly, HIV-positive women who had had stillbirths were 68% (OR=0.32, 95% CI 0.15 - 0.65, p=0.002) less likely to accept any FP method compared with those who had live births. Mothers who did not have ANC visits were 65% (OR=0.35, 95% CI; 0.16 - 076, p=0.008) and mothers who had HIV infection were 37% (OR=0.63, 95% CI; 0.42 - 0.93, p=0.022) less likely to accept double FP methods compared with those who had &gt;8 ANC visits and were not infected with HIV, respectively.&#x0D; Conclusion. Overall, high acceptance of FP was found among postpartum women. ANC, GA at delivery and having live births were significantly associated with acceptance of any FP and double FP methods of protection. Further prospective study is recommended to identify whether the acceptance of FP services in the postpartum period continues at such a high rate.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;

DETEKSI DINI KANKER SERVIKS DAN SAFARI KELUARGA BERENCANA DI EKS KAWEDANAN BOJA

Family Planning is one of the efforts to reduce maternal mortality, so that Indonesia is committed to participating in signing of the global development of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) but the evaluation of the MDG's achievements in Indonesia shows that the target achievement has not been satisfactory so that it is continued with the Sustainable development Goals / SDG's program. In 2018 the population of childbearing age in Kendal district, there were 273,848 women out of 503,710 people, while Fertile Age Couple (FAC) was 188,118, who became new family planning (FP) acceptors 124,869 (66.38%). This is still far from the national achievement target, namely the coverage of FAC to become family planning acceptors of 87%. Another problem that arises in FAC is the high incidence of cervical cancer, this condition is caused because the patient comes at an advanced stage. Family planning safaris and early detection of cervical cancer are important things that must be done. This service method uses field studies, Focus Group Discussion (FGDs), counseling and papsmer examination. The target of community service is FAC in Ex Kawedanan Boja. Health education about family planning and early detection of cervical cancer can change behavior. The number of acceptors 60 people with IUD contraception 16 (26%), Implant 26 (43.3%) and Failed 3 (8.3%), the failure to install this contraceptive device was due to inflammation of the cervix. 3 people (17.65%) were positive while negative 14 people (82.35%).Counseling can improve understanding and change the behavior of FAC regarding early detection of cervical cancer and the installation of free implants and IUDs on acceptors through family planning safari.

Background:Pregnancy and its good outcome effect the health of mother and child. The unintended or unplanned pregnancy may lead to poor outcome of mother and child health. Although there is increase in acceptance of family planning but the prevalence of unintended pregnancy is increasing among pregnant females with or without marriage. In Pakistan certain studies have been done that also shows that the unintended pregnancy is more among pregnant females in their marital life. There are different causes that lead to unplanned pregnancy that depends upon geographical distribution, sociodemographic and Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospital of Quetta during the months of June 2019 to May 2020. All the pregnant married females who were fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected through convenient sample technique. Sociodemographic information was collected after the informed consent. The translated London measure of unintended pregnancy (LMUP) tool was used to access the unplanned pregnancy through scoring technique. Females whose score was between 0 to 3 were considered as having unplanned pregnancy. Data analysis was done on SPSS 21, where frequency of continues variables was determined and mean and standard deviation was calculated.

The effect of knowledge and attitude of family planning acceptances on iud contraception selection during the COVID-19 pandemic

Introduction: Although several studies on the influence of knowledge and education of family planning (KB) acceptors on the selection of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) have been carried out previously, research on knowledge and attitudes of family planning acceptors towards the selection of IUDs during the COVID-19 pandemic is still limited. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of knowledge and attitudes of family planning acceptors on the selection of an intrauterine device (IUD) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: The data used in this study were obtained from filling out questionnaires involving 162 respondents. This study was analyzed descriptively analytically with the parameters of knowledge and attitudes towards the selection of intrauterine devices (IUD) using a bivariate table. Results: This study showed that 38.4% had sufficient knowledge, only 1.2% chose to use the IUD with a p-value of 0.348 &gt; 0.05 and of the 66% who had a positive attitude only 2.5% chose to use the IUD with a p-value 0.146 &gt; 0.05. Conclusion: Although family planning acceptors have sufficient knowledge and a positive attitude, it does not affect the selection of the IUD as an effective long-term contraceptive, so the use of other contraceptives is still recommended as an effort to control fertility according to the needs of the acceptor during the Covid pandemic.
