A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF FACTORS INFLUENCING CONTRACEPTIVE COMPLIANCE OF WOMEN IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Abstract
Maternal Mortality Has Declined Worldwide Since 1990, Although Rates Are Still High In Many LowIncome Nations, Underscoring The Need For Family Planning. Using PRISMA And MMAT Standards, This Systematic Review Comprised 43 Studies With 3,164,624 Individuals To Evaluate The Factors Impacting Women's Usage Of Contraceptives. Older Age, Spouse Support, Religious Affiliation, Education, Work, And Interaction With Medical Professionals Were Important Factors In Determining Uptake; On The Other Hand, Adherence Was Lowered By Obstacles Such Misinformation, Stigma, Fear Of Side Effects, Financial Limitations, And Restricted Access. The Most Popular Methods, Particularly In Rural And Religious Contexts, Were Condoms And Depo-Provera. Both Enduring Barriers Like Societal Stigma, A Lack Of Finances, And Insufficient Counseling, As Well As Enabling Elements Like Education And Supportive Partners, Influence Women's Contraceptive Behavior. Attitudes Of Providers And Postpartum Family Planning Are Also Important Factors. Education And Awareness, Partner Participation In Therapy, Affordable Access, Provider Training, And Removing Financial And Cultural Barriers Should Be The Top Priorities Of The Strategy.
