Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: India was the first country in the world to launch the Family Planning Programme in 1951. Despite this fact, India still lags behind in practicing contraception and limiting family size. Even though various measures for encouraging the usage of contraception have been taken up, the achievement in this field is not up to the expectation due to various social & cultural factors [1]. The aim of our study is to assess the proportion of willingness for tubal sterilization between caesarean section and vaginal deliver among the uncovered mothers with two and more children before discharge at a tertiary hospital. Methods: It is a cross sectional retrospective study using the survey data on uncovered mothers with two and more children who were discharged without accepting sterilization in a tertiary care hospital. Results: Total number of uncovered mothers with 2 and more living children for sterilization was 142. About 66.9% of mothers stated willingness for sterilization but not done among the uncovered mothers with 2 and more children due to various medical causes and 33.1% of them stated not willing for sterilization. Among the 142 uncovered mothers, 60.6% had accepted the semi permanent contraception method of postpartum intrauterine contraceptive (PPIUCD). Conclusions: In present study willing mothers were not covered for sterilization was found more in caesarean section (45.1%) than in women who delivered vaginally (21.8%) among the uncovered mothers with 2 and above children and proved it statistically significant. The service providers, the pediatricians have to be improved a lot.
