A Cross Sectional Study on Acceptance, Efficacy of Injectable Contraceptive DMPA in Women at a Tertiary Care Hospital
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Depo provera, the long acting inject able formulation DMPA, is a crystalline suspension of this hormone. DMPA is extremely effective, the pregnancy rate 0-1/100 women years. This study was done to estimate the acceptance rate of DMPA among mothers who accepted DMPA 150 mg with mode of injection through 6 weeks after child birth, after abortion / MTP and as a contraceptive method (after excluding pregnancy) as a cafeteria approach. Methods: It is a analytical cross sectional retrospective study on women who were accepted DMPA after 6 weeks after child birth, after abortion / MTP and as a contraceptive method (after excluding pregnancy) as a cafeteria approach. The study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital on 136 patients between July 2008 to July 2010. Results: About 136 patients were studied and all the women followed up to know the current status of DMPA was made to them. About 67.6 % of the women were continued DMPA. The Acceptance Rate of DMPA was 79.41 % up to second dose and it was 67.64% at the end of 3 doses. Most of the women in the age group of 20 to 26 years, in whom the acceptance rate was high. Conclusions: In present study, the acceptance rate of injectable contraceptive DMPA in women was100%, 79.4 % and 67.6% during 1st dose, 2nd dose and 3rd dose respectively. At the end of 3 doses the acceptance rate was 67.6% showing a dropout rate of 32.4%. The primiparaous women accepted the dose the most as they wanted it for spacing of pregnancy. The awareness about the injectable contraceptive was nil among the class of patients who attended our hospital.
