Impact of Healthcare professionals on the typical mindset of rural areas married women

Abstract

Background: Currently, there are 7.7 billion people on the planet, and by 2045, that number is expected to rise to 9 billion, representing one-fifth of the world's population and a growth rate of 16 million people per year. Family planning refers to information, a way of thinking, and making thoughtful decisions. It is a way of thinking and life that spouses and individuals actively accept.

Methodology: The current descriptive, interview-based study was conducted in Koohi Goth Women Hospital, Karachi-Pakistan. A total of 50 married females attending the gynae OPD between the ages of 15 to 45 years were surveyed in this study. A semi-structured, self-designed questionnaire was used for the interview.

Results: The mean age of the study participants was 23.23 ± 4.6 years. Most of the study participants (36%) have Education till Middle School. Results found that most of the study participants did not use any method of contraception, neither they in favor of it despite the recommendation of their respective doctors.

Conclusion: A growing population will have an impact on the country's economy and will also lower the quality of life for newborns because the majority of families come from low-income backgrounds. Providing a healthy lifestyle and high-quality education to every member of society should be our top goal as educators, socialites, medical professionals, economists, and other authorities.
