Empowering Women, Securing Futures: Contraception’s Role in Socioeconomic Progress in India

Introduction: It is necessary to empower women to enable them to make their own reproductive choices, including contraception as well as use of modern contraception. Our article aims to highlight the importance of women’s empowerment regarding contraceptive use in family planning and poverty eradication. Methods: Our literature search included data on family planning programs, contraceptive use, awareness of and access to contraception, and women empowerment regarding contraceptive use in India; approaches to policymaking regarding family planning; and international data on early legal access, women’s reproductive rights, and barriers to contraceptive use. Results: Despite the introduction of oral contraceptives, 38% of currently married women in the 15–49 age group use sterilization as a method of contraception. Only 28% of married Indian adolescents use contraception. The highest reliance on sterilization is found in women married off early, conceiving early, and with little access to education and information. There are barriers to both use of contraceptives and reversible contraceptives. Discussion: Family planning programs in India can focus on women’s reproductive rights, rather than population control, to bridge the gap in the unmet need for family planning, apart from making information and resources on contraception available to women from all socioeconomic strata.

Factors Influence the Interest of Couples of Childbearing Age in Choosing IUD Contraception

One of many efforts to reduce the birth rate through the Family Planning (KB) program is by inviting couples of reproductive age (PUS) to use contraceptives. IUD is one of the most effective and safe long-term contraceptives, but in reality, it is still less attractive to PUS. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the interest of PUS in choosing IUD. This study was a quantitative study with a correlation design using a cross sectional approach. The population in this study is 1,780 PUS with a sample size of 181 selected using accidental sampling technique. Data analysis was univariate and bivariate with chi square test. The results of the correlation test for knowledge showed a P-value of 0.020 (P <0.05), while the results for income showed a P-value of 0.010 (P <0.05), and the results for husband support showed a P-value of 0.015 (P <0.05). It can be concluded that there is a relationship between knowledge, income as well as husband's support and the interest of PUS in choosing IUD. It is recommended that health workers can provide education in the form of health promotion to family planning acceptors related to IUD, in order to increase the coverage of family planning acceptors. In addition, it is hoped that health workers can increase the frequency of providing counseling on the advantages of IUD both personally and in groups to increase information and maternal interest in using IUD.

FAKTOR FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI AKSEPTOR DALAM MEMILIH ALAT KOTRASEPSI DI PMB DINCE SAFRINA

Contraception is an attempt to prevent pregnancy. These efforts can be temporary, can also be permanent. Contraceptive use is one of the variables that affect fertility. The main objective of the family planning program is to fulfill people's demand for quality family planning and reproductive health services, reduce maternal mortality (MMR) and infant mortality (IMR), as well as address reproductive health problems in the framework of building quality small families. The purpo se of this study was to determine the factors that influence family planning acceptors in choosing contraception. This research is a quantitative analysis research with a cross sectional approach. Withdrawal of the number of samples with the accidental sam pling technique with a total of 40 respondents. From the results of the multivariate test, it was found that there was no effect on the level of education, knowledge, age and husband's support on the choice of contraception with a value (P > 0.1) which was not significant due to the lack of a sample in this study. It is recommended for further research to examine samples with a larger number and use a multivariate test .

Effect of Intensive Counseling Training on Participation of Clients in Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives

BACKGROUND: One of the pillars of safe motherhood is family planning (FP). The FP program aims to avoid unwanted pregnancies or birth by long-term contraceptive methods (long-acting reversible contraceptives [LARCs]). However, percentages of LARCs usage in Indonesia, in 2017 were still far from the target, 14% per 21.7%. This was influenced by Information Education and Communication given by health-care workers, counseling mechanisms, and mother’s knowledge. AIM: This study aims to find a new counseling training technique that may improve the counseling skills of health workers and provide a better outcome (clients’ knowledge and attitude). METHODS: Phase one, a qualitative approach by conducting focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with midwives and clients as the basis for making intensive counseling modules. Phase two, quantitative approach to health-care workers using a t-paired group analysis test. Phase three, analysis using T-unpaired group test for clients. RESULTS: The qualitative phase showed that the appropriate LARCs intensive counseling training model was 2 days, 8 h each, emphasizing communication techniques. A significant difference was found in the counseling competition of health-care workers before and after training (p < 0.001). The interest in LARCs after receiving counseling (intensive or others) also showed significant differences (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The LARCs intensive counseling training module affects the competency of counseling skills and increases the participation of clients.

National health insurance contribution to family planning program funding in Indonesia: A fund flow analysis.

Launched in 2014, Indonesia's national health insurance system (JKN) aimed to provide universal health coverage, including contraceptive services, to its population. We aim to evaluate the contribution of JKN to the overall spending for the family planning program in Indonesia. Data from the Indonesian Demographic Health Survey, Survey on Financial Flows for Family Planning, Indonesia Motion Tracker Matrix, World Population Prospect, and Indonesian ministries' budget accountability reports were entered into the CastCost Contraceptive Projection Tool to define budgetary allocation and spending for the family planning program at the national level in 2019. Indonesia's family planning program in 2019 was financed mostly by the national budget (64.0%) and out-of-pocket payments (34.6%). There were three main ministries responsible for family planning financing: the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) (35.8%), the Ministry of Finance (26.2%), and the Ministry of Health (2.0%). Overall, JKN contributed less than 0.4% of the funding for family planning services in Indonesia in 2019. The majority of family planning spending was by public facilities (57.3%) as opposed to private facilities (28.6%). JKN's contribution to funding Indonesia's family planning programs in 2019 was low and highlights a huge opportunity to expand these contributions. A coordinated effort should be conducted to identify possible opportunities to realign BKKBN and JKN roles in the family planning programs and lift barriers to accessing family planning services in public and private facilities. This includes a concerted effort to improve integration of private family planning providers into the JKN program.

Ketidakadilan Gender dalam Rumah Tangga pada Diskusi Susahnya Jadi Perempuan Part 2 Mata Najwa: Kajian Pragmatik

Married life being one of the new levels of a life that brings some differences to some people. The concept of division of roles in the household is often misunderstood by some groups in society. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out several studies in this regard. The study with the object of discussion “Susahnya Jadi Perempuan Part 2 Mata Najwa” aims to theoretically prove the phenomenon of gender inequality experienced in households. To achieve this goal, we use a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. The dialogues uttered by the speakers were also reviewed through pragmatic theory and resulted in the discovery of locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary speech acts in the object. Through the application of gender inequality theory to objects, it was found that there are two forms of inequality that occur in households, namely workload or double burden, and stereotypes that include women”s beauty standards, men’s participation in family planning programs, and men’s obligations in the household .

Contraceptive Practices and the Reasons for Non-Utilization of Contraceptives among Married Women in an Urban Slum

Background: Despite the early institution of a family planning program, following its inception, Pakistan is still struggling to stabilize its fast-growing population. The objectives of the study were, to determine the contraceptive practices & related factors among married women in an urban slum and also to assess the reasons for non-utilization of contraceptives among these women.
 Methods: The Cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban slum, Shah di Khui, in district Lahore following approval. A total of 300 eligible married females were selected through a systematic random sampling technique. After obtaining informed consent, information was solicited using a structured pretested questionnaire in privacy. Confidentiality of participants was maintained. SPSS version 24 was used for data analysis. The chi-square test was used to determine a statistically significant relationship between independent and dependent variables. 
 Results: It was found that 33.7% of married women were using contraceptives as compared to 66.3% of non-users. Among users, 76.2% were using Modern methods and 23.8% were using traditional methods. The duration of marriage (p =0.000), education standing of the respondent (p = 0.012) and her spouse (p = 0.003), and total number of alive children (p = 0.018) were significantly related to contraceptive usage. The main reasons for non-utilization were a desire for more children (30.2%), fear of side effects (25.1%), objection by spouse/in-laws (21.1%), and Lack of knowledge (15.6%).
 Conclusion: It was concluded that only 33.7% of slum dweller married women were using contraceptives. Contraceptive usage was found to be related significantly with the duration of marriage, Education status of husband and wife, and total number of living children. There is a need to make targeted efforts to address barriers and enhance uptake in this often-neglected segment of society.

Reimagining gendered community interventions: the case of family planning programs in rural Bangladesh

Family planning programs in Bangladesh have been successfully operating for over half a century, achieving phenomenal reductions in fertility rates. Acknowledging restrictions on women’s freedoms, much of the initial program design was concentrated on giving household supplies for women priority. However, one unfortunate impact of these outreach services is that, by bypassing the opportunity to challenge patriarchal attitudes directly, they inadvertently reinforce the power relationships of the status quo. Hence, we problematise the decision-making structures within Bangladesh’s family planning programs. We argue that the fundamental flaw with Bangladesh’s family planning program is the lack of conscious effort to understand women’s health choices and decision-making as a complex contextual process of relational, structural, and institutional forces. Additionally, avoiding men in these programs often creates new dependencies for women, as this approach does not directly seek to build relational bridges based on equality between genders. As a result, many women still depend on permission from their husbands and family for reproductive health services and face constrained family planning choices and access to care. We recommend that family planning programs adopt a broader vision to create new and more sustainable possibilities in an ever-evolving social relations landscape where gender is constantly negotiated. Such strategies are even more pressing in the post-Covid world, as national systems are exposed to uncertainty and ambiguity.

Sperm Switch: A New Trend in Reducing Maternal Mortality

The study looked at the emerging practice of switching sperm to reduce maternal mortality in Ekiti State. Secondary data from the chosen health facilities in Ekiti State was used in the study. The major beneficiaries of family planning programs have historically been women, and men have been seen as the services' invisible partners. The study's ideas included male involvement in family planning, the effect caused by sperm switching on family planning, its difficulties, ways to use sperm switching to lower maternal death rates, and the responsibilities of midwives and the government in the process. The study's implications for nursing practice are that nurses and midwives undergoing training should be able to apply the sperm switch approach, and nurses should conduct additional research on new trends in family planning, particularly sperm switching, as well as the advantages of male involvement in family planning. The suggestion is that political commitment, priorities, effective governance, and enough financing should be given top priority. In addition, men should receive advice regarding the reversibility of the sperm switch method, and more awareness should be raised regarding the sperm switch strategy's positive effects on health when used with male contraceptives for family planning.

The Family Planning (KB) program is carried out in order to regulate the number of births or space births. Injectable contraception is one of the contraceptive methods that is widely used in Indonesia because it works effectively, is practical to use, is relatively cheap, and is safe. One of the ways injectable contraception works is to cause changes in the menstrual cycle to increase body weight which is the most frequently complained about by injectable contraceptive acceptors. Injection methods are divided into two types, namely 1-month injectable contraceptives and 3-month injectable contraceptives. 1-month contraceptive injection is a type of birth control injection that contains a combination of the hormone Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (progestin hormone) and Estradiol cypionate (estrogen hormone), and 3-month contraceptive injection is an injectable contraceptive containing the Depo Medroxyprogesterone Acetate hormone p (progestin hormone) with a volume of 150 mg. The aim of this study was to analyze differences in body weight among injectable contraceptive acceptors. This type of research uses analytical observational research methods. This research sample was taken using the Accidental Sampling technique with a sample size of 42 respondents. Analysis uses the sign difference test. The sign test results showed that there was a relationship between the use of injectable birth control (P < 0.05) and weight gain.

Performance of ``Penyuluh KB'' After the Transfer of Employment Status in East Java, Indonesia

Based on Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, the Penyuluh Keluarga Berencana (PKB) switched status to become a central employee. Previous studies have shown that when they were still regional employees, PKB’s performance had not run optimally. This study aims to describe the performance and operational mechanisms of family planning extension workers after the transfer of employment status. This study used a mixed-method approach by taking locations in Trenggalek, Ponorogo, and Tuban. The research variables include the characteristics of the family planning instructor, the characteristics of operational policies, operational mechanisms, and the performance of the PKB. The population is family planning extension workers who have experienced a change in employment status as central employees and the sample was selected purposively. Data were obtained through interviews and analyzed descriptively. The operational mechanism for family planning counselors must have legal support. The work plan made by PKB does not fully accommodate the needs of the community. The work targets assigned to PKB could not be achieved because they were too high, the quality of PKB was low, the age factor, and PKB’s administrative busyness. The lack of PKB performance shows that PKB’s performance is not optimal even though it has received performance allowances. Since the change in employment status, the cooperation between family planning counselors and midwives has changed in certain areas, resulting in reduced achievement of family planning programs. Therefore, capacity building and technical assistance are needed for PKB to spur the achievement of PPM performance targets optimally.

Data processing officers understand how to use the SIGA application. Suggestions include: In order for the distribution of monthly reports to run optimally, support from data processing officers, internet networks and SIGA servers is needed, SIGA application data is valid, data checking, maintenance and backup processes are needed, efforts can be made to optimize data management using applications SIGA. Addition of data collectors and data managers who have an IT educational background. Periodic SIGA application training for data processing officers, the integration process of three subsystems, namely contraceptive services, field control and family data collection and SIGA application development must be completed immediately and increase the capacity and speed of the SIGA Server and increase internet connection bandwidth

On the issue of family planning in Nigeria

Despite the fourth decade of implementation of the Nigerian government family planning program, the total fertility rate remains one of the highest in the world (5.2), and according to UN experts, by the end of the 21st century Nigeria will become the third most populous country after India and China. Explosive growth leads to complications of economic development, undermines food security and the resource base of social policy, can give rise to a series of acute environmental crises, cyclical outbreaks of epidemiological diseases, destructive internal conflicts, socio-political instability, including an increase in crime, and wars with neighboring countries. Traditionalist norms of behavior - the desire of Nigerians to have a large family, in other words, a larger number of free labor in agricultural production, as well as religious attitudes and many other preferences hinder the implementation of state demographic policy programs. In search of a way out, the government turns to scientists, pointing out the need to prioritize reducing child and maternal mortality. They emphasize that increasing financial support for family planning programs, involving religious leaders of all faiths in familiarizing themselves with government demographic policies, and growing the network of health centers for counseling and information on family planning are all as important as the availability and accessibility of contraception. The family planning program is the main, and in many countries the only, component of demographic policy that can significantly reduce maternal and child mortality, contribute to a reduction in the birth rate and progressive socio-economic development.

Designing the Future of Medical Education: The EPA Framework as a Catalyst to Inform Family Planning and Reproductive Health Fellowship Training Program in Ethiopia Medical Education: An Exploratory Sequential Mixed Method Study.

Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) are tasks or responsibilitieswithin a specific field that can be given to a learneronce they are competent to perform them independently. EPAs are being used in various specialty programs and serving as valuable tool to inform educational program. However, due to disparities in professional practice between different contexts, the automatic transfer of a set of core EPAs is not feasible. Hence, our study aims to develop an EPA framework to inform the Family Planning and Reproductive Health Fellowship Program in the local context of Ethiopia. We employed an exploratory mixed-method design, which involved the collection of qualitative data using the Nominal Group Technique and quantitative data through a nationwide survey in all residency training institutions across the country. Qualitative data analysis involved several steps, including compiling a list of tasks, removing duplicate tasks, reviewing EPAs using criteria and an equal rubric tool. For quantitative data analysis, descriptive statistics, validity index analysis, and intra-class correlation coefficients, were used. Seven senior panelists were able to propose a total of 57 EPAs, with 17 remaining after qualitative data analysis. The panelist evaluated the relevance of each EPA in the second phase. As a result, 17 EPAs received a content validity index of >0.83, indicating satisfactory relevance. In the national survey, experts reached a high level of final agreement regarding the relevance and representativeness of all 17 EPAs (ICC = 0.815, 95% CI [0.0.756,0.865], p.0001). The final set of 17 end-of-training EPAs is valid, acceptable and representative of the discipline, and they can be used as a framework to inform Family planning and Reproductive Health Fellowship Program in Ethiopian medical education once these core EPA statements are described in sufficient detail. This can contribute to raise the quality of training and hence the quality of patient care.

Children's sex composition and modern contraceptive use among mothers in Bangladesh.

The stagnation and relatively low use of modern contraceptives are ongoing public health concerns in Bangladesh and other low- and middle-income countries. Although a cultural preference for sons may be linked to the current use of contraceptives, this linkage has not been adequately explored in the Bangladesh context. We investigated the effects of child sex composition on the current use of modern contraceptives. We extracted and analysed data from 17,333 women who participated in the 2017/18 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey. The outcome variable was the current use of modern contraceptive methods. The study factor was the parity and sex composition of the living children. We used multilevel logistic regressions to determine the association between the study factor and outcome variables, adjusting for potential covariates at the individual-, household-, and community-levels. Women with relatively high parity had higher odds of currently using modern contraceptives. Among the individual parities, compared to women with no live sons, women with one or more live sons were more likely to report currently using modern contraceptives. However, this association is significant for women up to three children. When examining both parity and children's sex composition in a regression model, in each parity category, the likelihood of using modern contraceptives tend to rise with an increasing number of sons compared to women with just one daughter. The findings of this study suggest that while the use of modern contraceptives by women increases with the increasing number of children and son preference is prevalent in Bangladesh, women also want to have a mixed composition of son and daughter. The study findings can be used in family planning programmes to customise contraceptive promotion and counselling messages.

A Study on Practice of Reproductive Health Care Facilities and Family Planning Decisions of the Rural Adolescent in an area of Bogura District, Bangladesh

Adolescent’s reproductive health is a serious concern in Bangladesh. The present study is based on primary data collection and in-depth interviews of 150 rural adolescent females of Fulbari and Baiguni villages of Bogura district. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of knowledge attitude and practice on reproductive health issues, to assess the socio-demographic features of samples and to explore the level of knowledge & awareness to demonstrate the role of the information & education (media, counseling, services facilities) in the management of reproductive health issues among rural adolescent females. The mean age of the respondents were 16.2 years. School enrolment is still low (46%) and dropout rate is high (32%). A large number of rural adolescent females of the study area have been found to discontinue education after a few years of schooling. The data further shows that, in TV 7.31% attending health education and 12.19% to family planning program. More of the adolescents (60%) were aware of all least one family planning methods (Oral Pill). However, it is obvious that knowledge of various methods of contraception does not imply that the respondents actually knew how to use these methods effectively. The highest three methods they can named were oral pill 60%, Injection 35% and Implant/ Norplant 18.67%. Among all 72.64% were not known or received any information about the management of menstruation before their first menstruation. The study revealed that 72.41% of adolescent’s females, those were suffering from at least one complication or problems of menstruation and were not visited or seeking any consultation or treatment from any service providers available. Only 18% of them seek treatment or consultation from the service providers. Among these sick adolescents’ females who attended for consultation or treatments, 83.33% were not satisfied while only 16.67% express their satisfaction on the health care services. The social and religious constraints are strict in the culture and Islamic ideals of Bangladeshi people where the majority of whom still live in joint families. The study indicates that the rural adolescent females are poorly informed about most of the reproductive health issues. There also exist important misconceptions regarding healthy management of menstruation. Besides, there is big gap between their knowledge, attitude and practice. Parents, Guardians, teachers, religious leaders and community leaders (they are main gatekeeper) concern regarding management reproductive health issues of rural adolescent females.

Couples of childbearing age do not participate in the family planning program in Salekoe Village, Palopo City

A couple of childbearing age (PUS) is a married couple who still has the potential to have children or is usually marked by the time when menopause has not yet arrived (menstruation has stopped for the wife). Family planning is a method that helps individuals or married couples to regulate the interval between pregnancies and determine the number of children in the family. This research was conducted to obtain information regarding the reasons why couples of childbearing age do not participate in family planning programs. This research is descriptive in nature. The sample used was 212 EFA taken according to the specified criteria. Data collection was carried out by filling out a questionnaire, then the data was processed and analyzed using the frequency distribution formula. The research results showed that the highest reason for PUS not participating in the Family Planning program was wanting to have children immediately, 68 PUS (24.82%) while the lowest was not being suitable for using family planning, namely 3 PUS (1.1%). From the results of this research, it is recommended to increase education, especially about the types of contraceptives, side effects and complications.

Family Planning Programs and Food Security in Nigeria: A Quantitative Approach

The issue of food security remains a pressing global concern, particularly in emerging nations facing the challenges of rapid population expansion, constrained agricultural resources, and inadequate infrastructure. Amidst Nigeria's persistent struggles with food security aggravated by a swiftly growing population, this study undertook an examination of the efficacy of family planning interventions in ensuring sustainable food provision. A cohort of 120 participants from diverse Nigerian states participated in the study, responding to structured questionnaires. The collected data underwent SPSS software analysis, leading to tabulated data and percentages reflecting respondents' viewpoints. Through regression analysis, the study found a statistically significant relationship between the implementation of family planning programs and food security. Findings revealed that for every unit increase in the effectiveness of family planning initiatives, there was a consequential increase of 0.315 units in food security, showcasing a notably positive impact. This association, reflected by a Beta coefficient of 0.531, underscores the substantial influence of these programs on improving food security. These results highlight the potential efficacy of strategic implementation of family planning interventions as a crucial mechanism in alleviating Nigeria's food security concerns amidst rapid population growth. In response to these identified challenges, the research articulated recommendations aimed at addressing these issues. They encompassed measures like improved educational initiatives, enhanced accessibility to services, heightened public awareness campaigns, bolstered support for women, and the reinforcement of healthcare infrastructure.
