Abstract

Aim: To assess attitude of woman towards PPIUCD. Study: Hospital based cross-sectional study done in G.G. Govt. Hospital-Jamnagar from july 2019 to December 2019 Materials and Methods: Between this duration of period total number of post partum patients were 4060 including Vaginal delivery & Cesarean section, out of these patients 2842 patients choose PPIUCD as method of contracecption. Out of these 2842 patients I selected 500 random cases for this study Observation: PPIUCD insertion rate was 70%. 90.9% of women belonged to age group of 20–30 years of which 74% having education of class 8 and above. The overall contraceptive knowledge was 91.8%, only 52% of 74% were aware of PPIUCD. Conclusion: Total acceptance of PPIUCD in our study 84%. The awareness of PPIUCD is low leading to high refusal rates. The commonest reason for refusal is high prevalence of myths regarding PPIUCD in community, and not only women but the husband and mother-in-law also must be provided knowledge of it as they play important role in our society.
