Abstract :

Integrating IUCD insertion with delivery services optimizes opportunities for women to obtain an appropriate long term, reversible family planning method. Aim of the study was to evaluate the acceptance of PPIUCD in the community and factors influencing it. It was a prospective, interventional study conducted over a period of one year at Department of Obs & Gynae, MLB Medical College Jhansi, comprised of 513 women in whom acceptance of PPIUCD was noted and evaluation of associated factors was done. All antenatal women between 36-42 weeks of gestation who anticipate delivery and counselled were included. Follow up was at 6 weeks. Out of 513 women counselled for PPIUCD, 306 accepted it.

At 6 weeks 88.33% females were happy with PPIUCD and wanted to continue it. Bleeding p/v was the most common reason for removal. Key words PPIUCD, ACCEPTANCE, COUNSELLING
