Abstract
Background: Emergency contraception (EC) is one of the modern contraception
methods, which is recommended after unprotected sexual intercourse (UPI). EC
provides women with the last opportunity to prevent unwanted pregnancy by up
to 95%. Aim: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of
postpartum and postaborted women regarding emergency contraception at
Fayoum city. Design: A descriptive research design was used. Setting: The study
was conducted at the postpartum ward of the obstetrics and gynecological
department of Fayoum and Senourse General Hospital. Sample: A purposive
sample of 385 women. Tools: Three tools were used: (1) Structured Interviewing
Questionnaire, (2) Knowledge assessment sheet and (3) Attitude Likert Rating
Scale. Result: The current study showed that, more than two thirds (66.5%) had
poor knowledge and more than half of them (59.7%) had negative attitude
regarding emergency contraception. Conclusion: There was a lack of knowledge
about the emergency contraceptive methods among the participants which
subsequently influenced their attitude toward using it. Recommendations:
Enhancing the information, education, and communication activities of family
planning programs using mass media, booklets, and simplified brochures in
different family planning and MCH centers to increase awareness among the
general public about emergency contraceptive methods.
