“…According to post hoc analysis, IUD users had significantly higher overall QoL than people who used natural techniques (M=50, SD=9.0, p>0.01) (M=55.7, SD=9.6, respectively) [38]. In addition, a systematic review of thirteen research demonstrated that awareness of and usage of contraception in KSA were at relatively low levels [39].

Background: Despite family planning, there are still a lot of unintended pregnancies and abortions. The process of family planning counseling involves both the patient and the physician, with the physician playing a crucial part in encouraging the patient to use a safe method of contraception and enhancing the quality of life for women. Thus, the current study was designed to determine the impact of the Intrauterine Device (IUD) and Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCP) on enhancing Saudi women's quality of life. Methods: Women in Saudi Arabia who were 18 years of age or older and had used contraception for at least one month were the focus of a cross-sectional descriptive study. Using the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF), a 26-question variation of the WHOQOL-100 that evaluates the participant's quality of life across four life domains (Physical health, Psychological, Social Relationships, and Environment). All statistical data were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results: Total 175 women participated in the study with a mean age of 33.7 ± 6.73. Among them, 61 women were using IUD as a contraception method that includes copper and hormonal IUD. Whereas 91 women were using the pills as contraception. The mean duration of using contraception in months is 32.89 ± 32.95. Overall, the highest average score in both groups was domain 1 which represents physical health; moreover, domain 2 is the lowest score, and it represents the psychological aspect of the questionnaire. Statistically, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the four domains, and the p-value was (0.158, 0.773, 0.257, and 0.2274), respectively. A significant difference between the IUD and OCP groups (p= 0.019) in terms of quality of life, while there was a non-significant difference between the groups in terms of satisfaction of life. There were four domains in the questionnaire and questions related to physical health, physiological health, social relationships, and Environment. Statistically, there was a nonsignificant difference between the groups, while the overall majority of the participants were satisfied and extremely satisfied with the questions. Conclusion: According to this study, a sizable portion of Saudi women who have used various forms of contraception are happy with their lives. This suggests that individuals lead fulfilling lives even after using contraceptives, but better comparisons should be made using randomized controlled trials.
