Postpartum Family Planning Clinical Trial
Official title:
Prevalence of Postpartum Family Planning Uptake and Its Association With Joint Spousal Decision-Making in Family Planning: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study in Rural Sindh, Pakistan
This community-based cross-sectional study investigates the prevalence of postpartum family planning (PPFP) uptake and its association with joint spousal family planning decision-making among married women in rural Sindh, Pakistan. The study, conducted in Thatta District with a population of approximately 0.98 million people, addresses sociodemographic challenges including high fertility rates, maternal and newborn mortality, and low contemporary contraception use. Targeting married women aged 18-49 who gave birth within the past year, the research utilizes data from the Global Network's Maternal and Newborn Health Registry. Data collection involves a pretested questionnaire administered by trained female data collectors. Statistical analysis includes descriptive statistics and logistic regression using STATA 17. The study aims to fill knowledge gaps regarding factors influencing PPFP uptake, particularly the role of joint decision-making in family planning. Findings could inform targeted interventions to enhance maternal and child health, contribute to existing knowledge, and guide policymakers and healthcare providers in addressing the unmet need for family planning in rural Pakistan.
