Adult men's beliefs, values, attitudes and experiences regarding contraceptives: a systematic review of qualitative studies

Abstract

A deeper male consciousness regarding contraceptive responsibility should be promoted. It requires the knowledge of the men's personal backgrounds regarding contraceptives because they can be diverse according to family, social and cultural contexts. The consideration of the men's personal perspective is essential in the planning and implementation of reproductive health care. These aspects are essential for the concretisation of the evidence-based health care, a current challenge worldwide.

Men's contraceptive practices in France: evidence of male involvement in family planning

Psychological, Social, and Spiritual Effects of Contraceptive Steroid Hormones

“…Hoga et al (2014) found sixteen qualitative studies eligible for inclusion in their systematic review undertaken to facilitate the recommendation of the UN Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo in 1994, which sought to increase contraceptive access globally and also attempted to legalize universal access to abortion. The review found that religion, family, and social background are strong influences on contraceptive use, and that men's acceptance of contraceptive responsibility was highest among Protestant Christians who were most likely to make use of condoms and vasectomy from a sense of responsibility for their families.…”

“…The review found that religion, family, and social background are strong influences on contraceptive use, and that men's acceptance of contraceptive responsibility was highest among Protestant Christians who were most likely to make use of condoms and vasectomy from a sense of responsibility for their families.
