Introduction: Nepal Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists jointly with the Nepalese governmentand with the support from the International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology hasimplemented an initiative to institutionalize postpartum family planning services in selected majorreferral facilities of Nepal to address the gap of low uptake of postpartum family planning in Nepal.The aim of the study is to find the prevalence of the service coverage of postpartum contraception inthe selected facilities. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in seven major referral facilities acrossNepal. Data were collected from the hospital records of all women who delivered in these facilitiesbetween October 2018 and March 2019. Ethical approval for this study was obtained from NepalHealth Research Council. Data analysis was done with SPSS version 23. Results: Among the 29,072 deliveries from all the facilities, postpartum family planning counselingcoverage was 27,301 (93.9%). The prevalence of uptake of Postpartum Intrauterine Device is 1581(5.4%) and female sterilization is 1830 (6.3%). In total 11387 mothers (52.2%) had the intention tochoose a postpartum family planning method. However, 36% of mothers neither used nor had theintention to choose a postpartum family planning method. Conclusions: The coverage of Postpartum Intrauterine Device counseling service coverage in Nepal ishigher in 2018 as compared to 2016-2017 and in other countries implementing Postpartum IntrauterineDevice initiatives. However, the prevalence of service coverage of immediate Postpartum FamilyPlanning methods, mainly Postpartum Intrauterine Device in 2018 is lower in Nepal as compared to2016-2017, and other countries implementing Postpartum Intrauterine Device initiative. More effortsare needed to encourage mothers delivering in the facilities to use the postpartum family planningmethod.

Abstract Aim To investigate the changes in the provision of preventive health services in terms of woman and child health after reorganization of the primary health care services. Background The primary care system in Turkey has undergone fundamental changes as a part of Health Transformation Program during last decade. But there was no community-based study to evaluate these changes. Method This community-based and cross-sectional study was conducted in 2010, just before the reorganization of primary care services and in 2015, five year after the reforms. The 30×7 cluster sampling method was used in Zümrütevler quarter of Maltepe District. The socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, the presence of the physician who can be consulted for any health problem, the presence of smokers at home were questioned. The women aged 18 years or older and gave consent provided information about history of pregnancy and birth, the number of follow-ups during pregnancy, family planning method usage, cervical and breast cancer screening, breastfeeding duration, vaccinations, and prophylactic iron and vitamin D supplementation for their children. Findings After the reorganization of primary care, more people stated that they had physicians to whom they could consult for all kinds of health problems (27.8 versus 44.7%; P<0.001) and that physician was the primary care physician (30.2 versus 64.7%; P<0.001). The reported frequency of at least one smoker at home was decreased after reorganization of primary care (63.6 versus 53.1%; P=0.034). There were no significant differences in terms unplanned pregnancy, the use of family planning method, the number of pregnancy follow-ups and the frequency of Pap smears and mammography. There are no significant differences in terms of healthy children follow-ups, vaccination, vitamin D and iron supplementation (P>0.05). It was found that the duration of total breastfeeding increased after reorganization of primary care (P<0.001).

IntroductionFertility levels among adolescents remain high in many settings. The objective of this paper was to review the available literature about postpartum and lactational amenorrhoea among adolescents in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).MethodsWe searched Medline, Embase, Global Health and CINAHL Plus databases using terms capturing adolescence and lactational or postpartum amenorrhoea. Inclusion criteria included publication date since 1990, data from LMICs, and topic related to lactational amenorrhoea as a postpartum family planning method or as an effect of (exclusive) breast feeding among adolescents. Thematic analysis and narrative synthesis were applied to summarise and interpret the findings.ResultsWe screened 982 titles and abstracts, reviewed 75 full-text articles and included nine. Eight studies assessed data from a single country (three from India, two from Bangladesh, two from Turkey, one from Nigeria). One study using Demographic and Health Survey data included 37 different LMICs. The five studies measuring duration of postpartum or lactational amenorrhoea reported a wide range of durations across the contexts examined. Four studies (from Bangladesh, Nigeria and Turkey) examined outcomes related to the use of lactational amenorrhoea as a family planning method among adolescents. We did not find any studies assessing adolescents’ knowledge of lactational amenorrhoea as a postpartum family planning method. Likewise, little is known about the effectiveness of lactational amenorrhoea method among adolescents using sufficiently large samples and follow-up time.ConclusionThe available evidence on lactational amenorrhoea among adolescents in LMICs is scarce. Given the potential contribution of lactational amenorrhoea to prevention of short interpregnancy intervals among adolescents and young women, there is a need for a better understanding of the duration of lactational amenorrhoea, and the knowledge and effective use of lactational amenorrhoea method for family planning among adolescents in a wider range of LMIC settings.

Background: The objectives of the study were to assess knowledge, attitude and practice in post-partum intrauterine contraceptive device method of family planning and to know about willingness for post-partum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) when knowledge is provided for the same.Methods: This is a cross sectional observational study including 1200 patients of immediate post-partum period (<48 hrs of delivery), delivered at Safdarjung hospital. Women were evaluated with the help of a pre-designed and pre-tested questionnaire.Results: Out of 1200 women 864 (72%) were aware of some family planning method but only 672 (56%) had used some family planning method in the past. 108 (9%) women had knowledge regarding Post-partum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD). Among these, 72 (6%) women opted for PPIUCD. After knowledge regarding PPIUCD had been given, 80 more women adopted this as a method of contraception. So total 152 (12.67%) opted PPIUCD.Conclusions: This study highlights that awareness and knowledge does not always lead to use of contraceptives. A lot of educational and motivational activities are needed.

Unintended Birth

Family planning and maternal health care programme has been initiated in an integrated approach for a long time in Nepal. However, the use status of family planning method could not be presented at good instance. The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), 1994 and later millennium development goal 2002, both paved the way out for the situation mostly in the developing countries. Nepal also has made some changes in its services aiming to reduce high maternal mortality and promote to use family planning method. Use of family planning method within 12 months after childbirth could be a right solution for many developing countries like Nepal having high unintended birth. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the role of maternal health care service utilization in initiating use of family planning method after post-partum period. Women’s data file from Nepal Demographic Health Survey, 2011 has been used for the analysis. Bivariate and multivariate analysis result have revealed that the role of delivery care, controlling other variables seems to be much appreciable in getting family planning use within 12 months of delivery. Effects of some study variables besides delivery care remains unchanged in different models. Therefore, embracing family planning programme along with maternity care components would have implications towards - increasing current use of family planning, reducing the chances of unwanted/unintended birth, providing opportunities to control over female own body, contribution in achieving replacement level fertility and maintaining good health for both mother and the baby.
