Pooja Acharekar and Jyotsna Deshpande
Family planning and contraceptive methods play a significant role in promoting reproductive health and controlling population growth. In recent years, newer contraceptive methods have been introduced to provide safer, more effective, and convenient options for individuals. However, awareness and knowledge about these methods remain inadequate, particularly among nursing students who are future healthcare providers. The ability of nursing students to educate patients about family planning is crucial in enhancing contraceptive uptake and reducing unintended pregnancies. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Planned Teaching Programme (PTP) in improving the knowledge of nursing students regarding selected newer contraceptive methods.
Aim of the study: The study aims to assess the effectiveness of a Planned Teaching Programme in enhancing nursing students' knowledge of newer contraceptive methods in Daund, promoting improved contraceptive counseling, community awareness, and reproductive health outcomes.
Methodology: Using a pre-experimental design, a pre-test assessed baseline knowledge, followed by PTP implementation. This study assessed nursing students’ knowledge of newer contraceptive methods in Daund using a self-structured questionnaire. A pre-test evaluated baseline knowledge, followed by a Planned Teaching Programme (PTP) covering LARCs, emergency contraception, implants, IUS, and novel pills. A post-test measured knowledge improvement.
Results: The study findings revealed a significant improvement in the knowledge scores of nursing students post-intervention. The mean post-test knowledge scores were significantly higher than the pre-test scores (p< 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the PTP in enhancing knowledge about newer contraceptive methods. Additionally, demographic factors such as age, previous exposure to contraceptive education, and academic year showed a significant association with knowledge improvement.
Conclusion: This study underscores the value of educational interventions in enhancing nursing students’ knowledge of contraceptive methods, improving counseling, community awareness, and reproductive health outcomes.
