 ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to assess the knowledge regarding family planning among the aged
group of 30-40 years in the village Igrah district Jind. 60 samples were collected by the means of
convenient sampling technique. Data was collected with the help of self – structured knowledge
questionnaire. Data analysed by the Descripted ( Mean, Standard Deviation) and Inferential tech-
nique. Knowledge of couple group regarding the family planning in the village revels that, out of
60, majority of them 36(60%) had poor knowledge, 24(40%) had average knowledge and 00(0%)
none of them had good knowledge. There is no statistically significant association between
knowledge on family planning among the village. (Age, Gender, Religion, Education, Type of fami-

INTRODUCTION

 INTRODUCTION

“Delay the first, postpone the second

Prevent the third”.

According to WHO family planning it has been defined as a way of knowledge, attitude and re-
sponsible decision by individuals and couples in order to promote the health and welfare of fami-
ly group and thus contribute effectively to the social development of country . 1

Family planning refers to a conscious effort by a couple to limit or space the number of children
they have through the use of contraceptive methods. Family planning deals with reproductive
health deals with reproductive health of the mother, having adequate birth spacing, avoiding un-
desired pregnancies and abortions, preventing sexually transmitted diseases and improving the
quality of life of mother, fetus and family as a whole. The Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) has
undertaken many initiatives to reduce maternal mortality. Among these initiatives the most im-
portant is the provision of family planning at all levels of the governmental and private health fa-
cilities, while long-term method is being provided in health centers, hospitals and private clinics.
The study done in Jima zone, Ethiopia showed that good knowledge on contraceptives practice.
Different researchers showed that the highest awareness but low utilization of contraceptives
making the situation a serious challenge. Most of reproductive age women know little or incor-
rect information about family planning methods. Even when they know some names of contra-
ceptives, they don’t know where to get them or how to use it. These women have negative atti-
tude about negative attitude about family planning, while some have heard false and misleading
information and the current study aimed in assessing the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP)
of FP among women of reproductive age group (30-40) in community area.2

Contraceptive use saves children 's lives by allowing the family to delay and space births – when
births come too early or less than two years apart, the health of infants and their sibling s is in
danger. Contraception allows women to make decision about the number and spacing of chil-
dren, which gives them more opportunities to participate in educational, economic and social ac-
tivities (WHO, 1994). Understand the facts regarding about misconceptions for family planning
methods to improve the safety of family planning methods and to reduce the side effect of con-
traceptives used. These help the women to continue using modern contraceptive. The im-
portance of understanding the barriers to the use of contraceptives will contribute to the health
maintenance of women in reproductive ages by avoiding unplanned pregnancy and induced

2
abortions, therefore were understanding of the misconceptions and perceived barriers to the use
of contraceptives among married women (Nagase et al., 2003). [3]

Contraception is an effective intervention in preventing unintended pregnancies, which are asso-

ciated with increased risks of poor pregnancy outcomes such as death and unsafe abortions
(Chandra-Mouli et al., 2014; Glasier et al., 2006; Nove et al., 2014). But many births by women
below 20 years of age in developing countries are unplanned, which may be an indicator of the
widespread burden of unmet need for contraception (Bishwajit et al., 2017). Kenya is among the
10 countries with the highest teenage pregnancy globally (Loaiza & Liang, 2013). According to the
KDHS, in 2014, 18% of girls between 15 and 19 years had begun childbearing, meaning they had
already given birth or they were pregnant (Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, 2015). Early
childbearing in Kenya is higher in some regions being highest in Nyanza followed by Rift Valley
and Coast and was lowest in Central and North Eastern region. These differences may point to
inequity in contraception access, but there may be other factors contributing to this state. Nota-
bly, the proportion of teenagers who had begun childbearing had not changed since the previous
KDHS carried out in 2008, thus indicating no progress in the 4 utilizations of contraception in the
country among teenagers. Reports from some regions in Kenya and those from other countries
suggest that adolescents face various barriers to using contraception, including lack of access,
health concerns, and fear of side effects (Ochako et al., 2015; Woog et al., 2015). This study seeks
to provide information on adolescents in Kenya that is nationally representative. [4]

Community-based family planning (CBFP) brings family planning information and methods to
women and men where they live rather than requiring them to visit health facilities. One of the
main objectives of CBFP programs is to increase access to and choice of contraceptive methods in
underserved areas. CBFP programs work through a variety of channels, including community
health workers, community depots, drug shops, mobile services, and the private sector. Advanc-
ing Partners & Communities supports the expansion of CBFP services to help accomplish the goal
of making the full range of modern family planning methods available at the community level.
CBFP services involve a significant level of community ownership and should also be linked to the
government’s health system so as to not duplicate, replace, or ignore the existing system. [5]

Two prior systematic reviews assessed the impact of community education and engagement in-
terventions on family planning outcomes from 1985 through 2011, among highly developed na-
tions relevant to Title X populations.1,7 The prior community education review found 17 studies
of mixed quality, showing positive outcomes on family planning knowledge, awareness, and use
of services. The community engagement review found no studies meeting inclusion criteria, but
summarized 11 qualitative studies describing benefits of community engagement, such as tai-
lored educational materials, and barriers to community engagement, such as time and resources
required. [6]

3
Social circumstances are significant in making this decision regarding the reproductive actions.
For example, a woman with little money may not be able to afford to purchase contraceptives. A
homeless woman may not use contraceptives because it is inconvenient and she has nowhere to
keep them to have available when needed. A woman also may agree to sexual intercourse be-
cause the influence of romantic sound surroundings in add a persuasive partner. [7]

Cultural believes in values and customs structure gender role and reproductive behaviour. It is
important for nursers to understand the client’s cultural believes about the acceptable age of
child bearing, marriage requirements, how the father is chosen, spacing of pregnancies and
health behaviour during pregnancy. The general culture influences behaviour through movies
music and other media. Exposure of young children to explicitly sexual activities has resulted in
increasingly younger children acting and dressing as adult. [8]

Hypothesis

H0: There is positive relationship between the knowledge, attitude, practice with family
planning.
H1: Intrapersonal, interpersonal, community and organizational factor are associated
with the uptake of family planning among aged couple 30-40 years.
H2: There is significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge and practice
scores regarding family planning among the couples of age group 30-40 year in communi-
ty area.

Limitations

 The study was conducted only in one community with sample (60); hence generalization
of the study is restricted.
 To study focuses on assessing the knowledge rather than improvement in the behaviour.
 The study was limited on only eligible couples aged 30-40 years not to whole family.
 It is a cross-sectional study so relationships between the predictor variables and the de-
pendent variables can only be described as general associations not a causal relationship.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

Literature review related to family planning:

(Maria Gayatri and Dian Kristiani Irawaty,2021 )The pandemic has caused unpredictable and uncer-
tain impacts that can pose a threat to the wellbeing of the families. Pandemic has caused mental
health problems such as anxiety, stress, and depression. Creating a daily practice of gratitude is
important to build family wellbeing. It is essential to have good and healthy communication and
to find positive activities to do together among family members which can build a sense of to-
getherness, trust, cohesion, and happiness. A healthy relationship, communication, faith-based
practices, a positive mindset, and building social support are adaptive coping to respond to the
crisis and adversity together. [9]

( Fred Yao Gbagbo & Jacqueline Nkrumah,2019) The observation that levels of Family Planning
awareness levels do not commensurate knowledge and usage levels calls for more innovative
strategies for contraceptive promotion, and Education on the various university campus. The
structuring to incorporate family planning updates. In this regard, a nationwide mixed method
study targeting other tertiary institutions including colleges of education in Ghana is required to
explore the topic further to inform policy and programme decisions . [10]

(Armah -AnsahEk, 2018) The study revealed that 82.5% of the respondent had knowledge about
family planning with media (radio, TV and internet) being the major source of information about
family planning. 52% of the respondent had ever used at least a type of family planning with
59.5% ever used modern type of family planning. However, 81% of the respondents were cur-
rently using at least a type of family planning of which 87.5% were also using modern family
planning method. In conclusion, the findings indicates that the respondent had high knowledge
had high knowledge about family planning, especially the modern family planning method. [11]

(K. Gogoi1 ,2017) The study reveals that more than 60% of women of the study area in the repro-
ductive period using any method of birth control measures. It also noticeable that ‘rhythm meth-
od’ and ‘withdrawal method’ are practicing more among the female sterilization is decreasing
rapidly. [12]

(J. Nagamala,2018) The study reported that the knowledge about one or more methods of contracep-
tion, particularly modern contraceptive methods was 95.0%. The knowledge about traditional methods of
contraception was 72% and 46.4% devices. Attitude of temporary contraceptive methods approval rate
was 95 (63.3%), disapproval rate was 55 (36.6%) and permanent contraceptive methods approval rate was
100(66.6%), disapproval rate was 50(33.3%). [13]

8
 (Jahan U et al, 2017) This study reveals that the women from practicing were desire to have a child
(60.5%), lack of knowledge (42.4%), and unbearable side effects (25.5%). Majority (92.4%) thought that
contraceptive use was beneficial but only (27.2%) expressed the willingness to start practicing contracep-
tion if they received more information about the subject. [14]

Literature review related to aged group 30-40 years

(Mirak Raj Angdembe,2021) The MCPR Among young women aged 15-24 Years was low but simi-
lar to the national level. Sexual and reproductive health programs aiming to improve the MCPR In
this Population of young women should consider the reported level of sexual activity. Reaching
young woman to improve their knowledge and self-efficiency for contraception is critical to en-
sure they can assess contraception when needed. The focus should be on reaching not just young
women but also key influencers and service providers and making health facilities adolescent
friendly to reduce barriers to contraceptive uptake and to release self-efficiency. [15]

(Elizabeth A. Sully, Jacqueline E. Darroch, 2019) From 2008-2018, birth rates continuously in-
creased among women aged 30-40 years in Denmark and Sweden and births resulting from as-
sisted reproductive technology doubled in all three countries . [16]

(Ilse Delbaere,2019) Current contraception and safe abortion trends and estimates presented in
this review show that millions of women and girls in developing regions are deprived from the
right to exert autonomy over their bodies and to decide whether and when to have children. As
of 2019, an estimated 218 million women in developing regions have an unmet need for modern
contraception. Unmet need is highest in Sub-Saharan African, where almost 1- in-4 women want
to avoid a pregnancy but are not using modern contraceptive methods. In LAC, unmet need is
10% and 16% in South Asia. [17]

(Anjana E. Sharma,2018) Findings from this systematic review update are in line with a previ-
ous review showing the positive impact of community education using traditional modalities
on short-term family planning outcomes, identifying additional impacts on long-term out-
comes, and highlighting new evidence for education using modern modalities, such as text
messaging and web-based education. More research is necessary to provide a stronger evi-
dence base for directing community education and engagement efforts in family planning
contexts. [18]

(Department of Maternal and Child Health,2019) These findings indicate that the prefer-
ences and needs of unmarried youth are different than married youth, but that all young
people face barriers accessing FP. Unmarried youth seeking FP are more influenced by
peers and friends and continue to face difficulty accessing methods compared to married
youth. These findings indicate the importance of including youth perspectives in develop-
ment of youth-focused family planning programs. [19]

9
Literature review related to contraception

(Rohma Yanti, 2022) health care facilities must continue to provide family planning and repro-
ductive services because they are components of essential health services. The method that
can be used is long-term contraception, or short-term if you have used it before and if you
have to, you can use emergency contraception. Access to contraception could be made easier
by expanding the supply and service of medical workers, while routine contraceptive ser-
vices can be delivered via telemedicine from direct consultations. There will be negative re-
productive health consequences if these efforts are not made, including an increase in un-
wanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted illnesses, and unsafe abortions. [20]

(Drs Teal and Edelman, 2021) Oral contraceptive pills are the most commonly used reversible
contraceptive, IUDs and subdermal implants have the highest effectiveness, progestin-only and
nonhormonal methods have the lowest risks. Optimal contraceptive selection incorporates pa-
tient values and preferences. [21]

(Violet naanyu,2021) This study expands the literature by examining reasons for contraceptive
discontinuation and future intentionality To use among women in need of contraceptive. The re-
sults underscore the need for family Planning interventions that incorporate Quality of care in
service provision to address contraceptive discontinuation. Engaging man and other social influ-
encers in family planning programs and services will Help garner Supports for contraception, ra-
ther than focusing exclusively on women. The results of this study can inform implantation of
family planning programs in Kenya and beyond to ensure a former modern contraception users.
[22]

(Angeline Ti,2022) Various social, Cultural and method- Specific factors influence a young per-
son’s Values and preferences around contraceptive methods. Understanding their values and
preferences can help Providers and programs improve contraceptive care for young people. [23]

(Amy Alspaugh CNM, MSN, Julie Barroso PhD, RN, ANP, Melody Reibel PhD, Shannon Phillips
PhD,2019)This integrative review explores women's needs, desires, priorities, and concerns around con-
traception through the feminist poststructuralist framework. An exploration of discourse, power, commu-
nication, subjectivity, and agency creates a more complete, holistic understanding of how women interact
with and understand their contraceptive options. Themes of power imbalance between partners and
health care providers, societal and communal discourses on femininity and motherhood, distrust of hor-
monal contraception, the ability to enhance personal agency through contraceptive decision making, and
a need for open, patient-focused communication arose from the 19 studies included in the review. Health
care providers can assist women in making the best contraceptive choices for their needs and priorities
and within the context of their specific discourses by using a feminist poststructuralist framework . [24]

10
(Trends,2019) Current contraception and safe abortion trends and estimates presented in this
review show that millions of women and girls in developing regions are deprived from the right to
exert autonomy over their bodies and to decide whether and when to have children. As of 2019,
an estimated 218 million women in developing regions have an unmet need for modern contra-
ception. Unmet need is highest in Sub-Saharan African, where almost 1- in-4 women want to
avoid a pregnancy but are not using modern contraceptive methods. In LAC, unmet need is 10%
and 16% in South Asia. [25]

(Obert Richie N. Nansseu,2015) Although the level of awareness about family planning and contra-
ceptive methods is quite satisfactory, the level of contraceptive use is not optimal in our setting.
Consequently, more adapted educational and counselling interventions should be undertaken
among women, and family planning messages directed to men need to be included too . [26]

 RESEARCH METHDOLOGY

This chapter deals with the description of the research methodology adopted by the investigator
to assess knowledge regarding family planning among the aged group of 30-40 year in the village
Igrah (Jind).

Methodology is the most important part of any research study, which enables the researcher to
form a blue print for the study undertaken. Research methodology refers to the controlled inves-
tigations related to the ways of obtaining, organizing and analysing data. Methodological studies
address the development, validation and evaluation of research instrument & techniques.

The steps which were undertaken to conduct the study include research setting, population,
sample and sampling technique, development and description of tool, procedure and technique
of data Collection, pilot study and a plan for data analysis.

RESEARCH APPROACH

According to Suresh k. Sharma (2011) the research approach involves the description of the plan
to investigate the phenomenon under study in a quantitative, qualitative or a combination of the
two methods. Furthermore, it helps to decide whether the presence or absence as well as ma-
nipulation and control over variables. Also, it helps to identify the presence or absence of and
comparison between groups.

Research approach is a systematic, controlled empirical and critical investigation of natural phe-
nomena guided by theory and hypothesis about presumed relations among the phenomena. The
Research approach used for this study was quantitative evaluative approach.

RESEARCH DESIGN

According to POLIT and Beck (2004), research design refers to the overall plan for addressing a
research question, including specification for enhancing the integrity of the study, Descriptive
design used to assess the knowledge regarding family planning among the aged group of 30-40
aged in community area.
