The impact of family planning campaign on ibagwa couples

Thesis Abstract

The impact of family planning campaign on Ibagwa couples was studied to assess the effectiveness of the campaign in promoting family planning practices among couples in the Ibagwa community. The study utilized a mixed-method approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. A total of 300 couples from the Ibagwa community were surveyed to gather quantitative data on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to family planning. Additionally, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews were conducted with a subset of participants to obtain qualitative insights into their perceptions of the family planning campaign. The results of the study indicated that the family planning campaign had a significant impact on the knowledge and attitudes of Ibagwa couples towards family planning. The majority of couples reported an increase in their knowledge of different family planning methods as a result of the campaign. Furthermore, there was a positive shift in attitudes towards family planning, with many couples expressing greater acceptance of the practice. In terms of family planning practices, the study found that the campaign had led to an increase in the use of modern contraceptive methods among Ibagwa couples. The prevalence of contraceptive use among couples who participated in the campaign was significantly higher compared to those who did not. This suggests that the campaign was successful in promoting the uptake of family planning services in the community. Qualitative findings from the focus group discussions and interviews provided valuable insights into the factors influencing couples' decision-making regarding family planning. Participants highlighted the importance of access to information and services, as well as the role of community influencers in shaping attitudes towards family planning. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that family planning campaigns can have a positive impact on couples' knowledge, attitudes, and practices in relation to family planning. By increasing awareness and promoting the uptake of modern contraceptive methods, such campaigns have the potential to contribute to improved reproductive health outcomes in communities like Ibagwa. However, sustained efforts are needed to ensure continued support for family planning initiatives and to address any remaining barriers to access and utilization of services.
