Abstract
Background: Depo provera, the long acting inject able formulation DMPA, is a crystalline suspension of this hormone. DMPA is extremely effective, the pregnancy rate 0-1/100 women years. This study was done to estimate the acceptance rate of DMPA among mothers who accepted DMPA 150 mg with mode of injection through 6 weeks after child birth, after abortion / MTP and as a contraceptive method (after excluding pregnancy) as a cafeteria approach. Methods: It is a analytical cross sectional retrospective study on women who were accepted DMPA after 6 weeks after child birth, after abortion / MTP and as a contraceptive method (after excluding pregnancy) as a cafeteria approach. The study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital on 136 patients between July 2008 to July 2010. Results: About 136 patients were studied and all the women followed up to know the current status of DMPA was made to them. About 67.6 % of the women were continued DMPA. The Acceptance Rate of DMPA was 79.41 % up to second dose and it was 67.64% at the end of 3 doses. Most of the women in the age group of 20 to 26 years, in whom the acceptance rate was high. Conclusions: In present study, the acceptance rate of injectable contraceptive DMPA in women was100%, 79.4 % and 67.6% during 1st dose, 2nd dose and 3rd dose respectively. At the end of 3 doses the acceptance rate was 67.6% showing a dropout rate of 32.4%. The primiparaous women accepted the dose the most as they wanted it for spacing of pregnancy.
