Abstract:
Introduction: Post-placental IUD is a long-term contraceptive method with an effective pregnancy prevention 0.6-0.8 pregnancies / 100 women. Installation that is carried out when the mother gives birth has an impact on the coverage of contraceptive use from an early age. Post-placental IUD contraceptives are not only effective in the long term for up to 10 years but are also affordable contraceptives for people from low to high economies status. Currently, these contraceptives can be purchased or installed for free. Contraception does not interfere with milk production, does not require routine follow-up to the hospital, contraceptive examinations can be done independently. The purpose of this study was to describe the knowledge about the post-placenta IUD contraceptive method. Methods: This study used a descriptive design, with a population of 98 people and a sample of 54 people. The sampling used is purposive sampling. Collecting data with a closed questionnaire. Data processing and data analysis by editing, scoring, coding, tabulating and presented in narrative form then draw conclusions. Results: Based on the results of the study, it was found that most (78.1%) pregnant women had less knowledge about Post Placenta IUD contraception. Conclusion: The reference of this study is to increase knowledge about the Post Placenta IUD (Intra Uterine Device) contraceptive method in pregnant women. Periodic health education regarding this contraceptive method during pregnancy so that at delivery, post placenta IUD contraception can be immediately installed.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: To discover the knowledge and use of contraception amongst women in eastern Nepal and to identify reasons for patterns of use. METHOD: A cross-sectional study, using a structured survey, was completed by women admitted to the post-natal ward of Koshi Zonal Hospital in eastern Nepal. The subjects were asked questions about their knowledge and use of contraception as well as reasons for their contraceptive choices. RESULTS: The subjects showed a large discrepancy between knowledge (79%) and use (21%) of contraception. Knowledge was greater in higher socio-economic groups but use was not significantly different. Knowledge and use increased with age to a maximum use of 50% at age greater than 30 years. The main source of contraceptive knowledge was from formal school education. Injectable progesterone was the most common contraceptive used and this was said to be because of its convenience. The main reasons for non-use of contraception were subjects wanting another child and fear of side-effects. All contraceptives were purchased from private shops due to discomfort at attending recognisable contraceptive providers.. CONCLUSIONS: The levels of contraceptive awareness and use were lower than in other published Nepalese studies. This difference is associated with low educational levels in the study population. There is also an ongoing desire for larger families. There is a need for more contraceptive education that does not rely on schooling. The lack of use of government contraceptive services should also be addressed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jucms.v2i2.11169 Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2014) Vol.2(2): 15-20

Abstract:
Objective: This study was carried out to assess the perception of health workers towards contraceptive methods, determine the proportion of health workers using modern contraceptive methods and identify factors influencing their contraceptive practice. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive survey of 300 practicing nurses in the health facilities within Ile-Ife, Nigeria was done using pre-tested, self-administered semi-structured questionnaires. Results: Most of the respondents were less than 30years, married, multiparous and had practised for more than 2years. Prevalence of modern contraceptive use was 75.2%. Knowledge of contraceptives was poorest for injectables and oral contraceptive pills (32% each). Twenty six percent of respondents believed that contraception should be limited to women who had completed their families, while 32.4% were either uncertain or disagreed with the safety of contraceptives. The commonest method used was the condom, though contraceptive choice varied with cadre of staff. Desire for another pregnancy was the main reason for discontinuing contraception (51.2%). Older age, religion and marriage positively influenced contraceptive use. Conclusion: Knowledge and perception of contraception among nurses in Ile-Ife is relatively poor. Ensuring accurate information on contraception among this target group of health workers is an important step towards achieving success in the national family planning programme.

Abstract:
Background: In India unplanned pregnancy and illegal abortions still remains a problem. Unintended early pregnancy and frequent childbearing contribute to high pregnancy related morbidity and mortality which can be prevented by use of suitable contraceptives. In circumstances where women are unable to exercise sexual and reproductive decision making, introduction of emergency contraceptive pills may provide important back up option to enable women to control their fertility.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between August- October 2016 among 215 married women of reproductive age group attending the Urban Health Center, Berhampur, to study the awareness about most common methods of contraception, decision-making regarding contraceptive and knowledge and practice of emergency contraceptive pills.Results: This study concludes that most commonly used method was Oral contraceptive pills (28.3%) and major source of information regarding different methods of contraception were through friends and relatives (44.6%). Awareness about emergency contraception mostly came through television. Of those aware of ECPs (14.4%) only 16.1% had used it in their lifetime.Conclusions: Although there is awareness about contraceptives methods, knowledge and practice of emergency contraception is low.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge and use of contraceptive methods by female adolescent students. The study was cross-sectional and quantitative, using a semi-structured questionnaire that was administered to 12- to 19-year-old female students in Maceió, Brazil. A representative and randomized sample was calculated, taking into account the number of hospital admissions for curettage. This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee, and Epi InfoTMsoftware was used for data and result evaluation using the mean and chi-square statistical test. Our results show that the majority of students know of some contraceptive methods (95.5%), with the barrier/hormonal methods being the most mentioned (72.4%). Abortion and aborting drugs were inaccurately described as contraceptives, and 37.9% of the sexually active girls did not make use of any method. The barrier methods were the most used (35.85%). A significant association was found in the total sample (2,592) between pregnancy and the use of any contraceptive method. This association was not found, however, in the group having an active sexual life (559). The study points to a knowledge of contraceptive methods, especially by teenagers who have already been pregnant, but contraceptives were not adequately used. The low use of chemical methods of contraception brings the risk of pregnancy. Since abortion and aborting drugs were incorrectly cited as contraceptive methods, this implies a nonpreventive attitude towards pregnancy.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction. Family planning methods let one make an informed decision about having children at the right time. People have been trying to adopt the right family planning methods for centuries, mainly through using various contraceptives. These used to be very diverse over the time, yet the goal remained the same – preventing pregnancy. Aim. Assessment of the factors affecting the knowledge and prevalence of contraceptive methods, as well as the factors affecting sexual behavior of adolescents/young adults. Material and methods. 219 individuals (111 women and 108 men) between 17-21 years of age, attending secondary schools, participated in this voluntary and anonymous study. A survey questionnaire prepared by the authors was used as a study tool. Statistical analysis of the data obtained was performed using the SPSS 17.0 software. Results. 81% of the adolescents/young adults stated that their knowledge of contraception is sufficient for them to be in charge of their own sexual lives, whilst some 9% mentioned that they lacked such knowledge, 85% of the young people studied stated that they were interested in contraception. The main sources of knowledge about contraception are the Internet (35%) and peers (22%). The survey showed that 59% of the individuals correctly answered the question regarding the length of a woman’s menstrual cycle, 77% correctly defined the first day of the cycle, and 49% correctly determined the time of ovulation. The studied group of people had difficulties determining menstrual cycle phases; 23% considered them as fixed, 27% – that they are variable, and 29% gave the correct answer. The surveyed people thought that contraceptive method effectiveness (43%), availability (33%) and ease of administration (17%) are most important when choosing the method. Condoms are the most common (72%) contraceptive method among the surveyed people while hormonal contraceptives and interrupted intercourse are poorly known (12% and 11%, respectively). The respondents deemed the hormonal method (50%), and intrauterine contraceptive methods (21%) and condoms (21%) the most effective modes of contraception. They thought that interrupted intercourse (53%) and natural birth control methods (34%) are the least effective. The age at which most of the respondents started their sexual life ranged between 16 and 18; with the age of 16 being the most common (24.2%). Some 40% of the surveyed called their sexual intercourse occasional. Conclusions. Adolescents consider both the Internet and their peers the primary source of information about sexuality, family planning or birth control methods. The average age of the first sexual experiences has been gradually decreasing and the condom remains to be the most common method of contraception for adolescents/young adults. The knowledge concerning family is insufficient and frequently inaccurate. Education in the fields of sexuality, contraceptive and family planning methods should be included in primary school curriculum.

Abstract:
Background Failure to plan a pregnancy can adversely affect the health of the family as a whole. High parity is related to increased maternal, perinatal and infant deaths and is associated with nutritional problems of both mother and child. Hence, good knowledge, attitude and practice of family planning among women are important. This study is aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice of contraception among the postpartum women attending Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital.Objective To determine the knowledge, attitude and the practice of various contraceptive methods among the postpartum women.Method A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology on 400 postpartum women (within 42 days of delivery) who delivered and came for follow-up in this institution. All the postnatal women were interviewed with pre-designed questionnaire and information on sociodemographic variable, awareness and knowledge of various contraceptive methods, previous and current use of family planning methods, source of information, utilization and reasons for use/non-use of family planning methods were obtained. Data collected were entered and analyzed using SPSS 20. The results were presented as percentages, means, tables and charts.Result Majority of the participants 363 (90.8%) were aware of contraceptive usage. Amongst 60.5% of women who had previously used contraception, OCPs were the commonest one. Maximum number of participants (60.35%) had used modern contraceptives in the past. The most common source of information on contraception was media (55.7%). The reason of using contraception was spacing between the subsequent pregnancies, while the most common reason of discontinuation or not willing to use family planning methods was husband being abroad, fear of side effects and not knowing which contraceptives to use.Conclusion The contraceptive awareness and knowledge among the postpartum women was high but their usage was low. Hence, efforts should be made to educate the public about safety and convenience of modern methods of contraceptives. Health care personnels should also counsel the clients for adopting the contraceptives according to their need.

Abstract:
Background: This study assessed contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and use among women of reproductive age in Abu Dhabi Island.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in primary healthcare centers Al Bateen and Al Rawda in Abu Dhabi Island. Participants were women (N = 384; aged 18-54 years) who were married, widowed, divorced, or sexually active. Using a structured questionnaire, we examined their socio-demographic characteristics and their contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and use.Results: A total of 44.8% of the women were aged 30-39 years, 98.4% had university education and above, 56.7% were employed, and 69.4% had an adequate family income. Only 23.7% possessed good knowledge about contraceptive methods (e.g., indications/contraindications, side effects, and benefits). Further, 72.1% had used contraception before, while 48.3% were current users. The most commonly used methods were natural methods (63.6%), followed by condoms (35.6%), oral contraceptive pills (34%), and intrauterine devices (33.7%). Interestingly, only 4.6% held a negative attitude toward contraception, while 53.5% were in favor of using contraceptives. Family income and employment status were significantly related to contraceptive knowledge (P = 0.005 and .013, respectively). Number of children, children’s sex, and years of marriage were significantly related to contraception use (P <0.001, <0.001, and 0.008 respectively).Conclusions: Despite poor knowledge about contraception use, most women held favorable attitudes toward using them. About half the women were current contraception users, with natural methods being the most commonly practiced.

Thesis (M Med (Family Medicine)) -- University of Limpopo, 2011.
Aim and objectives Challenged by the high incidence of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections observed among high school students who were attending antenatal care at the clinics in Tswaing Sub-district. The researcher conducted this study to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices of contraception among high school learners and establish whether the demographic characteristics of the students influenced their knowledge, attitudes and practices towards contraception. Design This study was a cross-sectional descriptive quantitative study. It was conducted among 231 learners who were aged 16 years and above, male and female, between grades 10 and 12. Systematic sampling was employed to select 33 students from 7 high schools selected by random probability sampling technique in Tswaing Sub-district who completed confidential, anonymous self-administrated questionnaires. The questionnaires were in English, Afrikaans and Setswana, so as to ensure clarity and accurate understanding of the content and hence the questionnaire was self-administered in the language of preference for each learner. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS for windows version 17. A chi-square test was performed to determine the association between predictor's variables and knowledge. A p-value ofless than 0.05 at 95% CI was taken for statistical significance. Results More males 70 % and 60 % of the females indicated that they had a boyfriend or girlfriend. More males (50.3%) than females (49.7%) indicated that they had engaged in sexual intercourse. The average age of first sexual intercourse was 14.9 years for the males and 15.4 years for the females. The modal age for first intercourse for male was below 13 years and 15.4 years for the females. The most common contraceptive used among the males was a condom (89.8%) and among females, it was the combined injectable contraceptives (49.4%). Males (63.6%) and females (68.8%) thought it easy to access contraception. There was a high rate of unprotected sexual activity among the learners, with 34.1 % of the males and 42.1 % of the females' indicated that they had had sex without contraception. Most of the learners obtained contraceptive information from their parents 98 [33%] male, 70 [53.8%] female). The preferred source of information for the male learners was a doctor 59 [59%], and the preferred source of con1raceptive information for the female learners was their parents 57 [43%]. 54 (57.4%) of the males and 75.4% of the 84 female learners indicated that their parents had discussed contraception with them. 64.2% of the males and 68.5% of the females claimed that they were satisfied with the information they received about contraception from their parents. All the learners had the knowledge that condoms can prevent sexually 1ransmitted infections and that a condom cannot be used more than once, with a p< 0.05 and their response according to gender and age, all schools had more than 60% participants. Forty-three percent of the learners in all schools who lived with both parents had the knowledge that condoms can prevent sexually transmitted infections and condom cannot be used more than once, p< 0.05. Among the female learners, only 79 [60.8%] knew that conception could take place if they missed taking their con1raceptive pill once. 51 [39.2%] said that conception could not take place if they had missed taking the pill once. More than 90% learners wanted information on contraception from their primary health care providers. Conclusion This study showed that senior learners had a good knowledge about basic contraception. The high level of sexual activity, early sexual initiation and low contraceptive use put these adolescents at risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. They indicated that they needed more information on sexuality and contraception from their primary health care providers especially from their doctors. Adolescents should be encouraged to ask about contraception and sexual health at the clinics, and all health workers; nurses and doctors, who consult must see every encounter as an opportunity for health education and counseling in reproductive health

Abstract:
Ethnographic interviews with pregnant Mexican-American and Native-American adolescents and young adults from low-income households explored their knowledge about conception and contraception as well as their contraceptive and sexual behavior. The findings suggest that their unwanted pregnancies are not due to a lack of knowledge but rather are due to their heteronomous sexual behavior which results in infrequent contraceptive usage and thereby a risk of unwanted pregnancy.

Abstract:
This study systematically examines contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practices among United States Midwestern college students. The goal is to provide data on the distribution and correlates of common or "folk" knowledge that can be used to promote positive attitudes, and safer practice of contraceptive use. Many factors may influence the distribution of contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. These include innate characteristics, culture, and gender stereotypes. Hence, this study concentrates on sex/gender differences in contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practices. It was found that higher knowledge levels positively correlate with positive attitudes concerning contraceptive use. The ultimate goal is to ascertain what the differences are to provide a foundation to develop better education strategies for young adults.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess reproductive knowledge and use of contraception in women of reproductive age with cardiac disease or chronic hypertension attending outpatient clinics. Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study. Women aged between 18 and 45 years attending cardiac or hypertension clinics at Groote Schuur Hospital, Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain Day Hospitals were recruited. The study tool was an administered questionnaire which included social, demographic and medical information, knowledge about their condition and the contraceptive history. Results: Two hundred women were interviewed, 100 with cardiac disease and 100 with chronic hypertension. Among the 84 cardiac and 90 hypertensive women who had previously been pregnant, there were 193 and 262 pregnancies respectively. Of these participants, 72% cardiac and 70% hypertensive women reported at least one unplanned pregnancy. Unemployed hypertensive women were more likely to have unplanned pregnancies (81%), than their employed counterparts (65%) (p<0.03). In the cardiac group employment did not affect planning of pregnancies. Forty cardiac and 46 hypertensive women were married. Married women in both groups had more planned pregnancies (46% cardiac, 43% hypertensive) in contrast to 10 Out of 200 women, only 2 were unaware of any contraceptive methods. One hundred and fifty eight participants were using modern contraceptive methods. None of the women accessed contraception at their routine medical clinics and less than half had received contraceptive advice there. Conclusion: This study showed that many pregnancies among participants with medical conditions were unplanned, and there was poor knowledge about the impact of their medical condition on pregnancy. There is an unmet need for reproductive health education in women with medical conditions, and ideally this should be part of the holistic care of any woman with a significant medical condition.

Abstract:
Background Adult females recently diagnosed HIV positive fall pregnant soon after diagnosis in John Taolo Gaetsewe Health District. They usually claim ignorant of or say they forgot to take their pills and that lead to their getting pregnant. Considering the health implication of pregnancy on the general health outlook of HIV positive females and risk of mother to child transmission of HIV, that motivated this study. Aim and Objectives To study the contraceptive knowledge, attitude and practices amongst adult HIV positive females in John Taolo Gaetsewe Health District. The objectives are; 1. To evaluate contraceptive knowledge, perceptions and practices amongst patients presenting for contraception 2. To find out the reasons for use and non use of contraceptives by patients 3. To determine choices of contraceptive methods, use of emmergency contraception and barrier contraception such as condoms. Methods Study design: A cross sectional descriptive study focused on determining the contraceptive knowldge, attitude and practices of adult HIV positive females between the ages of 18 and 49 were selected for the study. Approval for the study was obtained from the Ethics Committee University of Stellenbosch with reference number N11/04/123, and the Northern Cape Department of Health. The study was carried out between June 2011 and July 2011. The questionnaire was designed based on a publication cited on contraceptive practices of women in Northern Tshwane. Setting: The study was conducted in the ARV clinics of the Kuruman and Tshwaragano districts hospitals and the four community health centres in the John Taolo Gaetsewe Health District. This district is a predominantly rural district. Results: Data was provided by 224 participants who fullfiled the inclusion criteria. The knowledge about condom ranked highest(100%) followed by injectibles(94%), oral contraceptive pills(87%), female sterilization(66%) and emmergency contraception(51%). IUCD is the method that is least known(3%).Nurses are the major source of information about contraceptives(89%) while the educator give the least information to participants on contraceptives(40%). 100% of participants had access to oral contraceptive pills and injectibles at their local clinics while the method that was least accessible are IUCD(2%) and hormonal implants(0%). There was a 100% positive perception of injectibles, 74% to female sterilization 67% for morning after pill and 61% to oral contarecptive pills while male sterilization had a positive perception of 12% and IUCD (8%). Availability of contraceptives influenced choice of contraceptives as participants used available methods at the clinic which were condoms, injectibles, oral contraceptives and female sterilization. Partners of participants and tradition also influenced use while non use was mainly because participant wanted to fall pregnant(22%), side effects(6%) and tuberculosis(1%). Conclusion This study revealed that participants had very good knowledge and positive perception about the readily available contraceptive methods at the local clinics. This was true as 100% were well informed about condoms, 94% about injectibles and 87% about oral contracetive pills. At clinics in John Taolo Gaetsewe health District the three methods of contraceptive mentioned above were what you find readily available. 51% of partcipants were also well informed about emmergency contraception this showed the level of awareness in this area on emmergency contraception despite their low level of education . The study revealed that partners of participants and traditional healer had impact on contraceptive use, while getting pregnant topped the list on reasons why contraceptive was discontinued. Parents, teachers and the media should get more involved in the enlightenment campaign about contraceptive as it will help protect women from unplanned pregnancies.

Abstract:
Unwanted pregnancies and induced abortions are made among Thai youths. The aim of this studywas to examine the knowledge, use and perceptions of Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) among undergraduate university students in Bangkok, Thailand, and also investigatedifferences between genders concerning these issues. An empirical descriptive cross- sectional study was performed. A quantitative method was used and Dorothea Orem’s Nursing Theory of Self- care deficit was provided as the theoretical framework. A questionnaire was distributed to 210 students at a university outside Bangkok. The result shows that 84% of the male and 88.9% of the female students knew that the purpose of using ECPs is to avoid unwanted pregnancies. About 36% of the males and 36% of the females had the misconception that ECPs aborts fertilized ovum. Around 21% of the male and 13.7% of the female students had the experience of using ECPs.One common perception among the students was that ECPs are the best method to prevent from unwanted pregnancies, 14.7% of the males and 27.7% of the females perceived that. This study results indicate that more knowledge about ECPs are required for these students.
Även om det är olagligt med aborter i Thailand, förutom under vissa omständigheter, sker dessa. Oönskade graviditeter och inducerade aborter förekommer bland unga thailändare. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka kunskap, användande och uppfattningar av akut p-piller bland universitetsstudenter i Bangkok, Thailand, och även undersöka skillnaderna mellan kön gällande dessa områden. En empirisk deskriptiv tvärsnittsstudie genomfördes och en kvantitativ metod användes. Dorotea Orems egenvårdteori användes som teoretiskt ramverk i studien. Ett frågeformulär delades ut till 210 studenter på ett universitet utanför Bangkok. Resultaten visade att majoriteten av studenterna visste att akut p-piller ska användas i syfte att undvika oönskade graviditeter, 84% av de manliga och 88.9% av de kvinnliga studenterna visste det. Ca 36% av männen och 36% av kvinnorna hade missuppfattningen att akut p-piller aborterar ett befruktat ägg. Ungefär 21% av de manliga och 13.7% av de kvinnliga studenterna sa att de hade erfarenhet av akut p-piller-användning. En vanlig uppfattning bland studenterna var att akut p-piller är den bästa metoden för att förebygga oönskade graviditeter, 14.7% av männen och 27.7% av kvinnorna hade den uppfattningen. Resultatet visar på att mer kunskap om akut p-piller behövs bland dessa studenter.

Abstract:
The general internist needs to be up to date in contraception management. Each year nearly half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended. Counseling about contraceptive options, provision of a back-up method, and information about emergency contraception can decrease the risk of unintended pregnancy. This chapter focuses on the aspects of contraception emphasized in Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program (MKSAP) 14: hormonal contraception, use of barrier methods, intrauterine devices, and emergency contraception.

Abstract:
Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a fundamental human right that implies knowledge and exercise of sexual and reproductive rights (SSR). Among the latter are access to knowledge and use of contraceptive methods; therefore, SSR should be experienced as a constant experience that allows women to achieve full satisfaction and security in their sexual and reproductive sphere through their subjectivity, their body, and their social and cultural life. Knowing about family planning allows having the desired number of children determining the interval between pregnancies and choosing the contraceptive method according to the social, cultural and psychological beliefs, needs and conditions of each woman. However, indigenous women from Canton Cañar (Ecuador) have less access and knowledge to contraceptive methods, mainly due to the influence of social, cultural, religious and economic factors, among others. The lack of information about family planning in indigenous populations of the South of Ecuador has motivated this study; through a medical-anthropological approach, it is intended to determine what is the preference regarding contraceptive methods in indigenous Cañari women in the context of the Cañari culture and what are their perceptions regarding such methods.

Abstract:
The American Revolution brought with it not just a visionary new form of government but also the radical new sensibility that individuals might reasonably strive to have control over their fate. Women began to imagine smaller families and to make explicit plans to limit the size of their families. This shift in intention came long before any meaningful innovations in contraceptive technology or knowledge. During the nineteenth century, couples used crude means—withdrawal, douching, abortion, and abstinence—to carry out their newfound intentions to become the masters of their reproductive destiny. In the twentieth century, modern birth control made fine-grained control of fertility more practical, and couples’ expectations and intentions ramped up accordingly. This new intention to control fertility, realized with ever-greater precision using sophisticated new modes of contraception, eventually resulted in an unrealistic expectation of near-perfect control of conception and pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract:
This task assesses the following clinical skills: … ● Patient safety ● Communication with patients and their relatives ● Information gathering ● Applied clinical knowledge … You are an ST4 doctor conducting a post operative ward round. Your next patient is Danielle Wilson, a 26- year- old mother of three who has undergone a left salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy. Having explained the operation to her, she asks why you couldn’t have just sterilized her at the same time as she never wants to be pregnant again and is struggling with her health and her young children. Her notes show that she has had 2 previous terminations and takes carbamazepine and levetiracetam for epilepsy and fluoxetine for anxiety. There is nothing else of note. Explain to Danielle why she was not sterilized at the time of salpingectomy. Then make a safe and effective contraception plan which is acceptable to her. You have 10 minutes for this task (+ 2mins initial reading time). Ask the candidate and actor to read their instructions. Then ask the candidate to start their discussion with the patient. Allow the candidate to conduct the discussion undisturbed unless they are straying off the track of the question (in which case you can show them their instructions again). Rationale for not sterilising should cover… ● General inadvisability of performing procedure at a time of reproductive stress (e.g. delivery, termination of pregnancy [TOP], miscarriage, salpingectomy) ● Sterilization under age 30 associated with higher incidence of regret— this should be conveyed as a general rule of thumb rather than as a personal judgement ● Reversal not funded by NHS ● Higher failure rate when performed when pregnant ● Possible complications of sterilization— general anaesthetic, surgical trauma or if hysteroscopic day case procedure, uterine perforation, interval to confirmation of success, need for ongoing contraceptive method ● Lifetime failure rate of sterilisation 1:200 which is comparable to that of an IUS and higher than the failure rate of the contraceptive implant ● Vasectomy safer

Abstract:
Gynaecological practices are changing constantly, with more emphasis on management in primary care, conservative, rather than surgical, management of conditions, and an increase in sub-specialization such as gynaecological oncology and urogynaecology. This chapter reflects these changes and covers the commonest areas in this interesting field. Sexual health is a specialty in its own right. The number of cases of sexually transmitted infections are rising in the UK, despite efforts to raise awareness of safe sex, so knowledge of their presentations is important. The UK also has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Europe, and the Government has set targets to improve access to contraceptive advice for women. In recent years, astounding advances have been made in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and people with HIV can now expect to have a much better quality of life. Although this chapter primarily focuses on diseases affecting women, we have included questions on the sexual health of men to represent the full spectrum of sexual health practice.

Abstract:
Sexual problems are encountered commonly in med­ical practice. It is an area in which accurate epidemio­logical data is hard to gather, but recent systematic reviews have stated that 40– 50 per cent of women and 10– 20 per cent of men report ‘a sexual difficulty’ within the past year. Gender- related issues are classified alongside sexual problems in the ICD and DSM clas­sification systems, and are presenting with increasing frequency to mental health services. A working know­ledge of how to manage these patients is therefore in­creasingly important for clinicians. It is helpful to think of sexual- and gender- related problems in three areas (Table 30.1): … 1 Disorders of sexual function. 2 Disorders of sexual preference. 3 Gender identity disorders. These are discussed in detail in Chapter 32, p. 480 as they tend to present in childhood or adolescence…. Some knowledge of normal sexual behaviour may help you to assess a patient’s presenting problem. Always remember there is enormous variation in the quantity and type of sexual behaviour considered ‘normal’ within a population, and a diverse range of views about the importance of sexual activity among individuals. Cultural norms and religious views are the greatest influences on an individual’s sexual behav­iour: it is helpful to get an idea of what is important to a patient when taking the history. The age of first intercourse dropped steadily in the second half of the last century but has since stabilized. This was probably due to the relaxation of social atti­tudes towards sexuality that occurred in the post- war decades. At present, about 20 per cent of females and about 30 per cent of males experience heterosexual intercourse before the age of 16. More than 80 per cent of both sexes have experienced sexual intercourse by the age of 20 years. Earlier age of first intercourse is associated with lower social class, lower levels of edu­cation, and lack of religious affiliation. The earlier first intercourse occurs, the less likely it is to be accom­panied by adequate contraceptive use and the more it is felt by the subject, in retrospect, to have been too early. Data from the UK and USA in 2015 reported that 94 per cent of adults report mostly or exclu­sively heterosexual (erotic thoughts and feelings are directed towards a person of the opposite sex) experience and attraction.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: One of strategic goals of the Population and Family Planning Board for the 2015-2019 period is to increase active family planning participants using the Long-Term Contraception Method (MKJP). This method is emphasized by the government because it is the most effective way to reduce the birth rate. However, the data show that the interest in using MKJP by women of fertile age is still lower than that of using non-MKJP. This study aimed to determine the factors that influence the selection of MKJP among fertile aged women at public health center, Depok, West Java. Subjects and Methods: This was an analytic observational study with a cross sectional design. The study was conducted at Sukmajaya public health center, Depok, West Java, Indonesia, from March to May 2019. A sample of 84 reproductive-age women was selected for this study. The dependent variable was choice of long term contraception. The independent variables were age, education, knowledge, income, employment status, number of children, and husband support. The data were collected by a questionnaire and analyzed using a multiple logistic regression. Results: The choice of long-term contraceptive method increased with age > 35 years (OR = 2.84; 95% CI= 0.86 to 9.42), high education (OR= 3.40; 95% CI = 0.51 to 22.67), the number of children ≥ 3 (OR = 1.25; 95% CI= 0.36 to 4.38), working mothers (OR= 4.98; 95% CI= 1.06 to 23.40), income> Minimum Regional Wage (OR= 0.21; 95% CI= 0.05 to 0.85), high knowledge (OR= 5.01; 95% CI= 1.33 to 18.85), and strong husband support (OR= 2.04, 95% CI= 0.34 to 11.44). Conclusion: Factors that influence the choice of long term contraception methods are age, education, number of children, employment status, income, knowledge and support of husbands.

ABSTRACT Background: Personal and social factor play role in individual behavior, including women choice toward contraceptive uptake. Age, education, religious beliefs, knowledge of fertile days, and culture were factors that significantly predicted contraceptive use. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between age, occupation, income, and contraceptive uptake in women of reproductive age in Indonesia. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study. A sample of 49,627 women of reproductive age was selected for this study. The dependent variable was contraceptive uptake. The independent variables were age, occupation, and income. The data were obtained from Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) year 2017. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Contraceptive uptake in Indonesia was 59.7%. Contraceptive was used by women aged 15-49 years. Contraceptive uptake decreased with age <35 or ≥35 (OR= 0.52; 95% CI= 0.50 to o.55; p= 0.001), employed (OR= 0.72; 95% CI= 0.68 to 0.75; p<0.001), low education (OR= 1.77; 95% CI= 1.54 to 2.05; p<0.001), and low income (OR= 0.98; 95% CI= 0.94 to 1.02; p= 0.474).

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: The current fertility rate for Indonesia in 2020 is 2.28 births per woman. High fertility, particularly when it involves conception either too early or too late in the fertility cycle or when short birth intervals are involved, is known to pose higher risks for both mothers and infants. This study aimed to investigate fertility determinants in Indonesia. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out using Indonesian basic health survey year 2017. A sample of 34,199 women of reproductive age aged 15-49 years was selected for this study. The dependent variable was live birth children. The independent variables were education, knowledge toward contraception, employment status, literacy, family discussion, health insurance membership, child birth last year, contraceptive method, residence, province, and source of information. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The likelihood of women to have children >2 increased with low education (OR= 2.67; 95% CI= 2.53 to 2.81; p<0.001), low literacy (OR= 1.59; 95% CI= 1.44 to 1.75; p<0.001), and no family discussion (OR= 1.2; 95% CI= 1.13 to 1.24; p<0.001). The likelihood of women to have children >2 decreased with no health insurance membership (OR= 0.73; 95% CI= 0.69 to 0.76; p<0.001), use contraception (OR= 0.33; 95% CI= 0.31 to 0.34; p<0.001), child birth delivery last year (OR= 0.77; 95% CI= 0.71 to 0.83; p<0.001), lived in province in West Indonesia (OR= 0.69; 95% CI= 0.66 to 0.72; p<0.001), received information from private agency (OR= 0.83; 95% CI= 0.78 to 0.89; p<0.001), and worked (OR= 0.72; 95% CI= 0.69 to 0.75; p<0.001). Conclusion: The likelihood of women to have children >2 increases with low education, low literacy, and no family discussion. The likelihood of women to have children >2 decreases with no health insurance membership, use contraception, child birth delivery last year, lived in province in West Indonesia, received information from private agency, and worked.

Emergency Contraceptive Pills: South East Asia Regional Training Manual. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh16.1016.

Full text
Abstract:
This manual aims to equip Master Trainers with appropriate knowledge on emergency contraceptive pills that can be used by a woman to prevent an unwanted pregnancy within three days of unprotected intercourse or a contraceptive accident such as condom leakage. The manual discusses emergency contraceptive pills and the provision of related services. After a day’s training, Master Trainers will have the knowledge and skills necessary to train service providers and workers on emergency contraceptive pills. Clinicians and program managers who would like to provide services or information on emergency contraceptive pills would also benefit from the manual. The manual is divided into four sessions. The first session provides an overview of the demographic and reproductive health situation in South Asia and discusses the role of emergency contraception as a reproductive health intervention. The second session defines emergency contraception and discusses details of when and how emergency contraceptive pills should be taken. Service delivery guidelines are covered in the third session. The fourth session covers counseling on emergency contraceptive pills and frequently asked questions.

Abstract:
Governments in developing countries recognize the need for appropriate technology for the treatment of emergencies from incomplete abortion or miscarriage. Numerous studies have investigated the appropriateness of an integrated model of postabortion care (PAC) that includes three essential elements: emergency treatment for spontaneous or induced abortion; counseling and family planning services; and links to other reproductive health services. Many integrated PAC services include replacement of the conventional clinical treatment, sharp curettage (SC), with manual vacuum aspiration (MVA). In 1997 and 1999 the Population Council supported intervention studies in Mexico and Bolivia, respectively, to assess PAC programs in terms of safety, effectiveness, quality of care, cost, and subsequent contraceptive use by clients. Both interventions introduced integrated PAC services and compared the outcomes of MVA and SC use in large public hospitals. To assess changes in service quality and costs, researchers analyzed clinical records and interviewed clients and providers before and after the interventions. As noted in this summary, SC and MVA are equally safe and effective and can be provided on an outpatient basis. Integrating clinical treatment with family planning counseling and services increased clients’ knowledge and contraceptive use.

A multi-sectoral approach to providing reproductive health information and services to young people in Western Kenya: The Kenya adolescent reproductive health project. Population Council, 2004. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh17.1008.

Full text
Abstract:
Informing adolescents about appropriate and acceptable behaviors, and ways to protect themselves against unwanted and unprotected sex, has proved problematic in Kenya. Education programs for in- and out-of-school adolescents are lacking, there is controversy about providing services to sexually active adolescents, and a pervasive concern that sexuality education and contraceptive services leads to promiscuity. Unbiased and accurate information and services are needed if adolescents are to delay becoming sexually active, to resist pressures to engage in nonconsensual sex, and to protect themselves against unwanted pregnancies and infections if they do have sex. Moreover, strategies for providing such information and services need to be acceptable to the community and sustainable over time. The Population Council’s Frontiers in Reproductive Health Program and the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health Kenya office collaborated with three government of Kenya ministries to design and implement a multisectoral project to improve knowledge about reproductive health and encourage a responsible and healthy attitude toward sexuality among adolescents, delay the onset of sexual activity among younger adolescents, and decrease risky behaviors among sexually active adolescents. Three interventions were implemented and evaluated in two districts in Western Province and this report presents findings that directly evaluate and cost the interventions.
