“…The education provided plays an important role in influencing a mother to decide the appropriate contraception method. 27 These educational efforts require ini-tial information on the individuals' understanding of the knowledge shared. However, few studies have been conducted to determine the correlation between the knowledge and behavior of breastfeeding mothers towards the application of LAM.…”

The lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) is a natural contraceptive that is highly effective after the three essential criteria are fulfilled. However, there is a significantly low adoption resulting from poor knowledge and correct practices. This study aimed to determine the correlation between knowledge and behavior of breastfeeding mothers on breastfeeding as a natural contraceptive. This was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design involving 89 breastfeeding mothers and was performed from January to March 2018. Furthermore, data were collected using a questionnaire, and the results showed knowledge of breastfeeding mothers to be good (59.6%) and not good (51.7%). However, the individual’s behavior towards the implementation of LAM was not good (48.3%) and good (40.4%). Based on the statistical test, there was a correlation between knowledge and behavior of breastfeeding mothers, with a p-value of 0.006 (OR = 3.463; 95% CI = 1.411 – 8.498). In brief, knowledge of LAM amongst the participants is good, despite the poor application in terms of behavior. Also, a relationship was also established between the knowledge and behavior of breastfeeding mothers as a natural contraceptive.

“…IEC materials were useful tools for promoting suitable eye awareness and also powers for social change in Madurai, India [ 33 ]. Similarly, it was observed that IEC and contraceptive uses were significantly associated beyond the visits of medical and family planning officers which was experienced in Indonesia [ 34 ]. A study from Gambia shows that mass media was an effective and feasible means to make a change in maternal health service utilization and care [ 35 ].…”

Background Many studies indicate that various health programmes have been failed because of the lack of appropriate information, education, and communication [IEC] for the target audiences. It is still unanswered which methods/means of communication could be the most powerful for changing behaviour or decision-making capacity. The paper aims to assess the effects of IEC on family enrolment in health insurance programme [HIP] in Nepal. Methods We employed a household-based observational study with a control group. Altogether 810 household interviews were conducted in Baglung and Kailali districts of Nepal in 2018. The study used a validated structured interview schedule. Background characteristics of the family and respondents and their exposure to the means of communication were the independent variables while enrolment in health insurance [HI] was the dependent variable. Results Data showed that 72% of the respondents heard about the HI and 66% knew the contribution amount for enrolment in HI. In the total enrolled households, 53% were household heads, 59% belonged to the age group 41–60 and 68% were above 60 years. More than half (56%) of rich compared to 46 and 49% of middle and poor (p < 0.05); 60% of the family member suffering from the chronic disease were enrolled in the HI. Similarly, 68% of those who heard about HI compared to 4 % who did not hear were enrolled (p < 0.001). A vast majority (69%) of those knowing contribution amount, 73% who interact with peer neighbour compared to 39% who did not, and 62% of those who listened to the radio and 63% of those who watched TV were enrolled in HI (p < 0.001). However, heard about HI (aOR = 21.18, 95%CI: 10.17–44.13, p < 0.001), knowledge about contribution amount (aOR = 5.13, 95%CI: 3.09–8.52, p < 0.001), having HI related books or guidelines (aOR = 4.84, 95%CI: 2.61–8.98, p < 0.001), and interact with peer or neighbours (aOR = 1.74, 95%CI: 1.34–2.65, p < 0.01) were appeared to be positive and significant predictors for enrolment in HI. Conclusion Knowledge about HI and interaction with peers and neighbours about the HI scheme of the government could lead to higher participation in the HIP. It would be better to incorporate this strategy while planning interventions for increasing enrolment in the HIP.

Background Most of the studies have indicated that various programmes were failing due to lack of appropriate information, education, and communication [IEC] to the target audiences. But still unanswered that which methods or means of communication could be the most powerful for changing behaviour, decision making,and or desired action. The paper aims to assess the effects of IEC on the enrollment of health insurance in Nepal.Methods A cross-sectional study, with randomly selected 810 [405 enrolled and 405 not-enrolled] households, was conducted at Baglung and Kailali districts of Nepal in 2018 using pretested structured interview tool. Background characteristics of family and respondents, and exposure to the means of communication were independent variables; and enrollment of health insurance was the dependent variable. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were done to interpret the data.Results Data show that socio-demographics and exposure to communication were associated with the enrollment of health insurance. Demographic characteristics of the respondents and households particularly household head, age, wealth status, ability to feed the family, and presence of chronic diseases in the family were significantly associated with the enrollment of health insurance. Similarly, exposure to communication and media such as knowledge on health insurance and contribution amount of health insurance, having health insurance related books or guidelines, participation in training and workshop, discussion with peers and neighbours, exposure to health insurance related messages from radio and television, seen hoarding board, newspaper, and health insurance related pamphlet, brochure, and posters were significantly associated with enrollment in health insurance. Knowledge about health insurance and contribution amount, having health insurance related books and guidelines, and discussion with peers and neighbours appeared to be the positive and significant predictors for enrollment in health insurance scheme.Conclusion Communication and interaction with peers and neighbours about health insurance scheme of the government could lead to higher participation in health insurance programme. It would be better to incorporate this strategy while planning policies and interventions on health insurance.
