- W2284366940 abstract "The 1985-86 Rural Family Planning Survey was confined to the rural sector and covered 17 of the 24 districts of Sri Lanka. Multistage stratified random sampling with probability in proportion to size was used in selecting the sample. A total of 3253 respondents were successfully interviewed between August 1985 and February 1986. 98.6% of the respondents had heard about oral contraception (the pill). Of those who had heard of it, 2/3 believed that pill-taking had harmful effects on women's health and body. This perception was constant across all social, economic, and educational groups. 3 characteristics were associated with small but interesting differences in the perception of risk of pill-taking. A slightly higher but significant percentage of those who work outside the home on an irregular basis were more likely to say that the pill detrimentally affects women's health. Those who have ever used traditional contraceptive methods (mainly calendar rhythm and withdrawal) were more likely to have a negative perception than those who had never used any traditional or modern method except the pill. Women living in developed areas were more likely to think that the pill had detrimental effects on health than women living in less developed areas. 1/3 of the women believed that the pill causes heart attacks, cancer, and birth defects. 16-18% thought that the pill causes weight gain and stroke/paralysis. About 17% thought the pill causes permanent sterility, and 10% thought it causes sexually transmitted diseases. Women's education and their status of pill use were the 2 most powerfully and consistently related factors identifying the women who gave yes responses from those who gave no responses to each of the 7 specified health problems. The results also showed that when the effects of all the variables were considered simultaneously, neither the husband's education nor the respondent's work status remained a significant variable discriminating the subgroups of women who have correct versus incorrect perceptions. 1 out of 3 women thought that childbearing was safer than pill-taking. This perception did not vary significantly across many subgroups, except for women's work status, contraceptive use, couple's wealth status, and the area development level. 1 of the most surprising findings of this study was that there is generally an inverse relationship between the modernity status of the women and their correct perceptions of the potential health risk of OC use with regard to cardiovascular disease and stroke." @default.
