- W2275842448 abstract "A study concerning contraceptive usage prior to pregnancy and the reasons for method switching or contraception termination among women in a periurban informal settlement (Ivory Park Gauteng) in South Africa was conducted as an adjunct to an intervention study to improve antenatal care. 52% (208) of those interviewed used contraception prior to conception. 25% of teenagers interviewed used effective contraception. Teenagers were also significantly less likely to use contraception and less likely to plan their families than older age groups. Reasons given for switching methods or terminating contraception included: 1) wanting a baby; 2) side effects; 3) forgetting or missing appointments; 4) never stopped; and 5) other (partners influence or too old for pregnancy). Bleeding irregularities (too much bleeding no bleeding nosebleeds but no menstruation) were the main side effects given. Reasons for terminating contraception were significantly related to family planning. 79% of women in the planned pregnancy group discontinued contraception because they wanted a baby. In the unplanned pregnancy group 42% of women terminated contraception because of side effects 33% did so because of forgotten or missed appointments and 22% never stopped. Very few women stopped because of a partners influence; this contradicts the findings of an Ethiopian study. In conclusion women due to side effects terminate contraception rather than switch methods. This may be due to perceptions about the seriousness of side effects and about the lack of alternative methods and to a lack of knowledge about reproductive biology and contraception. In-depth family planning education is needed so that clients switch methods rather than terminate contraception." @default.
