Abstract :

 Objective(s) : To evaluate acceptance of PPIUCD at Zenana Hospital, SMSMC, Jaipur. Method(s) : 5000 women were counselled during antenatal and postpartum period. Among them 1500 verbally accepted PPIUCD. Acceptability rate and percentage of insertion were recorded. Socio–demographic factors in terms of age, parity, literacy, religion, residence, subsequently mode of delivery and counselling time were recorded. Result(s) : Acceptability rate of PPIUCD was very low 21.80%. Reasons for refusal include misconceptions about IUCD use and its complications. PPIUCD is more acceptable among primi (45.70%) and literate women (65.20%) belonging to age group 20–25 (52%) and mostly Hindus (81.40%). Majority of women were from middle socio–economic status (75.60%) and from urban area (59.27%). Antenatal counselling played a significant role in acceptance of PPIUCD. Conclusion(s) : PPIUCD acceptance rate is low in our society. Various socio–demographic factors play a role in its acceptance.
