Abstract
Aim
To assess the awareness, acceptance, and perception of the Post Placental Intra Uterine Contraceptive Device (PPIUCD) immediate insertion as a practicable contraceptive method among maternity care providers in Jordan.
Methods
A cross-sectional observational study that has surveyed maternity care providers in Jordan between May and December 2021. Five hundred and one practitioners from different health districts enrolled themselves electively into the study.
Results
46.5% of the practitioners were aware of the PPIUCD immediate insertion, where only 10.2% had prior practical experience. Misconceptions regarding the spontaneous expulsion rate were prevalent, with 35% of practitioners overestimating the expulsion rate to exceed 25%. The fear of high expulsion was the major concern among more than half of the participants (54.6%, n = 113) who did not accept PPIUCD as a practicable method. Practitioners who had attended workshops were notably more likely to incorporate PPIUCD into their clinical practice.
Conclusions
The rate of acceptance of immediate PPIUCD insertion is low among maternity care givers in Jordan. Workshop training improves competency and acceptance of PPIUCD as an immediate postpartum contraceptive option.
