“…Furthermore, the tendency of women to use withdrawal would be higher if they had an intention to have more children. These findings are in line with those of other studies indicating the role of the number of living children in their contraceptive method choice (19,20). Based on the results of the current study, younger women with lower parity are more likely to prefer withdrawal.…”

Objectives: Despite the increasing knowledge about family planning and modern contraceptive methods, as well as high failure rates of the traditional method, a significant percentage of couples use withdrawal for contraception. Accordingly, the present study mainly aimed to investigate the determinants of using withdrawal to avoid pregnancy in Tabriz. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study included 383 married women aged 15-49 years. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to determine factors associated with using withdrawal as a contraceptive method. Results: Based on the results, about 19.5% of the women were relying on withdrawal. In addition, 55% reported that they were currently using a modern method to avoid pregnancy while the remaining 25.5% used no method in order to prevent contraception. The results of multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that university-educated couples with no child who were within the age range of 15-24 and born in urban areas were more likely to use withdrawal rather than modern contraceptive methods (P<0.05). Conclusions: In general, the rate of employing the traditional method in Iran and, especially in Tabriz is increasing. Regarding higher proportion of withdrawal use among higher educated women due to the fear of side effects resulted from other methods, family planning providers and reproductive health services should be sensitive to the women’s concern and provide programs to decrease the unmet need of family planning.

“…Consistent with other studies [ 25 , 26 ], the condom was the most well-known contraceptive method by all participants. Emergency contraception could play a critical role in reducing unintended pregnancies [ 26 , 30 , 31 ]; however, many studies found that the awareness and use of emergency contraception was often low among women in India, Latin America and African countries [ 30 - 32 ]. Likewise, our results showed that emergency contraception pills were not known by most of the participants as a method for preventing pregnancy.…”

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence of pregnancy experience and its association with contraceptive knowledge among single adults in a low socio-economic suburban community in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2012 among the Kerinchi suburban community. Of the total 3,716 individuals surveyed, young single adults between 18 and 35 years old were questioned with regard to their experience with unplanned pregnancy before marriage. Contraceptive knowledge was assessed by a series of questions on identification of method types and the affectivity of condoms for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.ResultsA total of 226 female and 257 male participants completed the survey. In total, eight female (3.5%) participants reported experience with an unplanned pregnancy before marriage, and five male (1.9 %) participants had the experience of impregnating their partners. The participants had a mean total score of 3.15 (SD = 1.55) for contraceptive knowledge out of a possible maximum score of five. Female participants who had experienced an unplanned pregnancy had a significantly lower contraceptive knowledge score (2.10 ± 1.48) than who had never experienced pregnancy (3.30 ± 1.35), p<0.05. Likewise, male participants who had experienced impregnating their partners had a significantly lower contraceptive knowledge score (1.60 ± 1.50) than those who did not have such experience (3.02 ± 1.59), p<0.05.ConclusionThe results showed evidence of premarital unplanned pregnancy among this suburban community. The low level of contraceptive knowledge found in this study indicates the need for educational strategies designed to improve contraceptive knowledge.

Tingginya laju pertumbuhan penduduk saat ini menjadi masalah besar di Indonesia dimana Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara dengan penduduk terbanyak keempat di dunia. Keluarga Berencana adalah penggunaan cara-cara pengatur fertilisasi untuk membantu seseorang atau keluarga mencapai tujuan tertentu. Tujuan yang dimaksud disini adalah suatu pengaturan kehamilan secara sengaja, yang tidak melawan hukum atau perundang-undang yang berlaku dan juga moral pancasila dan untuk kesejahteraan keluarga. Sumber informasi dan peran significant others penting untuk diketahui dan dikaji, mengingat banyaknya pandangan atau persepsi negatif tentang KB seperti : KB dapat menganggu kesuburan, KB bertentangan dengan ajaran agama, KB dapat menganggu kesehatan. Disisi lain ada juga pandangan di masyarakat miskin/terbelakang, yaitu bahwa setiap keluarga senang punya banyak anak karena akan membawa kegunaan (manfaat) sebagaimana sering diungkapkan dengan "banyak anak, banyak rezeki". Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sumber informasi dan peran significant others dari ibu yang menjadi akseptor KB di klinik Pratama Citra Husada Kupang. 2. Menggali secara mendalam sumber informasi dan peran significant others dari ibu yang menjadi akseptor KB di klinik Pratama Citra Husada Kupang. Penelitian kualitatif dengan rancangan eksplorasi dan pendekatan fenomenologi. Informan utama adalah ibu yang menjadi akseptor KB dan informan pendukung adalah petugas klinik, perwakilan BKKBN provinsi NTT dan petugas Lapangan KB. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara : 1. Observasi; 2. Wawancara mendalam. Cara pengambilan informan dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan strategi convenience sampling. Untuk keabsahan data dilakukan : 1. Triangulasi sumber; 2. Triangulasi metode; dan 3. Member checking. Sumber informasi terkait program KB, yaitu : dari bidan-bidan di Puskesmas, Penyuluhan oleh petugas kesehatan di kantor kelurahan, Dari teman atau tetangga dan Seminar-seminar di hotel. Significant others khususnya suami sangat berperan dalam perilaku ibu menjadi akseptor KB. Jika suami tidak mendukung atau melarang maka ibu pun enggan untuk menjadi akseptor KB. Interaksi sosial antara ibu dengan bidan dan teman terbukti mendorong ibu untuk menjadi akseptor KB. Upaya pendidikan kesehatan melalui seminar atau penyuluhan juga terbukti mendorong ibu untuk menjadi akseptor KB. Selain itu, program KB akan lebih berhasil jika melibatkan suami. Suami juga perlu diberi pengertian dan pemahaman tentang program KB.
