摘要

背景：在全球范围内，巴基斯坦是人口第五大国。为了通过公私营商业模式增加计划生育服务的使用，旁遮普人口创新基金选择了国际救援委员会组织实施的“Connect4fp”项目。本研究的目的是确定移动健康（mHealth）建议对项目地区计划生育的影响。该项目在巴基斯坦木尔坦区的9个联邦委员会实施。该项目的创新理念是使用手机，以互动语音响应和短信服务（即短信）的形式在社区中传播计划生育知识。方法：一项横断面研究针对197名男性和女性（主要是育龄已婚女性），他们从项目地区接收手机信息或录制的自动语音。目的是通过使用结构化Likert量表来评估他们的计划生育知识和意识。其次，通过电话采访，从40名私人提供者和27名计划生育倡导者（他们是该项目的一部分）那里确定了关于mHealth及其对计划生育的影响的观点。他们的反应通过Likert量表进行量化。对研究的主要变量进行描述性统计。采用卡方法确定社区成员计划生育知识与避孕药具使用的关联性。结果：研究结果表明，本研究中60%的社区成员表示，由于mHealth计划，他们的计划生育知识有所增加。36%的私人医疗机构和75%的FP拥护者同意，由于这项mHealth计划，计划生育患者会增加。结论：用当地语言发送的关于计划生育的手机信息和机器人语音有助于提高社区的计划生育知识和意识。这可能会引发夫妻之间关于计划生育的沟通，从而增加计划生育服务的使用。

Methods: A cross-sectional study targeted 197 men as well as women (mostly married women of reproductive age) receiving mobile messages or recorded robocalls from the project area. The purpose was to assess their family planning knowledge and awareness by using structured Likert scale questionnaire. Secondly the viewpoint about mHealth and its effect on family planning was determined from 40 private providers and 27 Family planning Champions (who were part of the project) by telephonic interviews. Their response was quantified by using Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were calculated of the study’s main variables. The association of family planning knowledge of community members was determined to their contraceptive use by using Chi square. Results: The results specified that 60% community members included in this study told that their family planning knowledge is increased due to this mHealth program. 36% Private providers while 75% FP Champions were agreed that family planning patients are increased due to this mHealth program.
