Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (Kap) Study Towards Family Planning among Women in Rural Areas of Multan

<p><span lang="EN">This study examines the family planning knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of women in rural Multan, Pakistan. 200 women aged 18 to 45 participated in the survey, providing significant insights on their knowledge, attitudes, and utilization of family planning methods. Structured interviews employed a pre-tested questionnaire to find out how participants felt about using birth control, how much they knew about different methods, and what they really did to plan their families in their daily lives. The results indicate that while most women were familiar with family planning methods, there was a notable deficiency in their comprehensive awareness of the many types of contraception and their respective benefits and drawbacks. There were good feelings about family planning, and many women said that contraception is important for improving health, family well-being, and economic stability. Despite these favorable feelings, the main reasons for the low use of family planning methods were sociocultural barriers, limited access to healthcare facilities, and a lack of support from family or partners. The research stresses the need for enhanced health education programs for women in rural areas, with an emphasis on dispelling myths and giving them all the information they need about family planning methods. To make contraception more accepted and used in rural regions, it is important to promote family planning activities in the community and improve healthcare infrastructure.</span></p>
