“…In the current study, all married respondents were able to name more than one method of contraception and had used or were using at least one contraceptive method. Twenty-two (22) out of the 32 participants (1/3) had a considerably good knowledge of methods of contraception which is consistent with the findings of a study in Ethiopia [ 30 ]. Studies elsewhere have reported low levels of knowledge of modern contraceptives among women [ 31 , 32 ].…”

Background Globally, hormonal contraceptives have proved to be effective in the prevention of unwanted pregnancies. However, despite evidence of the many benefits associated with the use of hormonal contraceptives, concerns related to their safety and side effects have been reported. We conducted a study to explore the perspectives on the side effects of hormonal contraceptives among women of reproductive age in Kitwe district of Zambia. Methods An explorative qualitative study was done among 32 women of reproductive age (18–45 years). Participants were selected conveniently as they accessed family planning services at a designated reproductive, maternal, and child health facility. Data collection was done through in-depth interviews (IDIs). Recruitment of participants and data collection continued until the saturation point was reached. The interviews were recorded, translated, and transcribed verbatim. Data were imported into NVivo.x64 for coding and node generation after which categories and themes were developed manually. Results Overall, participants demonstrated a considerable amount of knowledge of family planning, recounting the economic and health benefits as well as demerits of family planning use. The main reasons for discontinuing and switching hormonal contraceptive methods were the desire to get pregnant and the fear of unpleasant side effects, including excessive bleeding or prolonged menstruation, headache, dizziness, lower abdominal/back pain, and weight gain. Most importantly, participants cited concerns about the delay in the resumption of fertility after the termination of contraception and how the side effects disrupted their daily activities at home. Conclusion There is a need for family planning providers to offer family planning services that address the side effects of hormonal contraceptives during counselling and how women can manage them. Family planning services should adopt a patient-centred approach that takes into consideration the concerns regarding side effects and how this affects the quality of life among women. Also, there is a need to extend family planning services to include scheduled follow-ups and clinical management of contraceptive side effects among women.

Introduction, the global data shows HIV/AIDS infected in the young group, more than 1,4 million the young group infected with this disease, ages more than 15 years old. The highest number of HIV/AIDS in the young period was caused by risky sexual behavior and lack of knowledge, attitude, and practice. This research aims to know the perception of the Z generation as a part of the young period. The method of this research uses a qualitative research design with the generation as an informant, with HBM (Health Believe Model) as a construct theory to explore the Z generation perceived to relate the HIV/AIDS transmission, the informant selected by purposive sampling with inclusion criteria such as the ages in the Z generations (born in years 1996 to 2010). The data will be analyzed with Miles and Huberman. The result shows the Z generation has a perceived susceptibility to HIV/AIDS diseases, and they perceived the seriousness if they got the disease, and they have perceived benefits if they can prevent this disease. However, they have several barriers to prevention activities, such as they did not have role model, they have perception there are few materials relate to prevention HIV/AIDS and they have self-efficacy to do HIV/AIDS prevention. Need to complete the facility to access the information in the school and university to give information related to HIV/AIDS prevention.
