medical students knowledge attitudes and perceptions towards contraceptive use and counselling a cross sectional survey in Maharashtra india
2013Co-Authors: S Hogmark, Hannes Ohlsson, Marie Klingbergallvin, Kristina Gemzelldanielsson, Birgitta EssenAbstract:Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions towards contraceptive use and counselling among medical students in Maharashtra, India. Setting: Considerable global maternal mortality and morbidity could be avoided through the use of effective contraception. In India, contraception services are frequently unavailable or there are obstacles to obtaining modern, reversible contraceptives. Participants: A cross-sectional descriptive study using a self-administered questionnaire was conducted among 1996 medical students in their fifth year of study at 27 medical colleges in the state of Maharashtra, India. Descriptive and analytical statistics interpreted the survey instrument and significant results were presented with 95% CI. Results: Respondents expressed a desire to provide contraceptive services. A few students had experienced training in abortion care. There were misconceptions about modern contraceptive methods and the impact of sex education. Attitudes towards contraception were mainly positive, premarital counselling was supported and the influence of traditional values and negative provider attitudes on services was recognised. Gender, area of upbringing and type of medical college did not change the results. Conclusions: Despite mostly positive attitudes towards modern contraceptives, sex education and family planning counselling, medical students in Maharashtra have misconceptions about modern methods of contraception. Preservice and in-service training in contraceptive counselling should be implemented in order to increase women’s access to evidence-based maternal healthcare services.

reproductive health seeking by married adolescent girls in Maharashtra india
2007Co-Authors: Alka Barua, Kathleen KurzAbstract:In India, most adolescent girls 15-19 years old are married. A study was conducted in 1995-97 in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, India to gain insight into whether and how their reproductive health needs are met, especially for gynaecological problems, family planning and perceived fertility problems. It included a survey among 302 married girls of this age, and in-depth interviews with 74 girls, 37 husbands and 53 mothers-in-law. Girls were treated quickly for illnesses interfering with domestic work and were expected to conceive in the first year of marriage. Menstrual disorders and symptoms of reproductive tract infection often went untreated. There was an emerging need for delaying and spacing pregnancies; limiting the number of children was well established. Household work, protection of fertility and silence arising from embarrassment related to sexual health problems were the strongest factors influencing care-seeking. Husbands made the decision whether their wives could seek care and mothers-in-law sometimes influenced these decisions; girls had neither decision-making power nor influence. This study provides valuable input for the new reproductive and child health programme in Maharashtra.
