Objective: To determine uptake of contraceptive methods by post abortion clients along with factors
influencing the uptake.
Study Design:Descriptive cross sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in three public and three private hospitals of Sargodha
from February to October 2018.
Materials and Methods: The study included 160 post abortion clients using two stage sampling technique. A
questionnaire was designed based upon questions used in previous studies. Part A of questionnaire was filled
to record socio demographic details and part B to assess contraceptive uptake. Chi square test was applied to
determine association between independent and dependent variables. Data were analyzed using SPSS version
22. P-value < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Mean age of participants was 28.4 ± 6.04 years. Only 38.1% clients adopted contraceptive method
within one month. Short term methods were adopted by 62.2% and long acting reversible contraceptives by
26.2% clients. Male condom was the most frequently chosen method, adopted by 24.5% clients. Fifty four
percent clients having > 3 living children, 48.7% clients served by private sector, 61.7% clients reporting
previous contraceptive use and 50.9% clients who received counseling, adopted the method. Association
between these factors and contraceptive uptake was statistically significant (p value <0.05).
Conclusion: Post abortion contraceptive uptake was low. However private sector health facilities, previous
contraceptive method use and counseling by health care providers were significantly affecting contraceptive
uptake.
