Pill, patch or ring? A mixed methods analysis of provider counseling about combined hormonal contraception
2019, ContraceptionCitation Excerpt :These results are consistent with another study that assessed the content of US contraceptive counseling, with a focus on intrauterine contraception [32]. As counseling about side effects has been associated with improved contraceptive use including continuation [15–17], this represents a lost opportunity to support patients' contraceptive use. In addition, providers often failed to provide counseling to facilitate patients' successful method use, such as providing information about correct use and making a plan for refills.
Predictors of DMPA-SC continuation among urban Nigerian women: the influence of counseling quality and side effects
2018, ContraceptionCitation Excerpt :Although over 70% of respondents indicated that the provider had asked or informed her about experiences with side effects, these aspects of information given were rated relatively lower in quality compared to other item responses and domains. Correspondingly, many women (~60%) reported side effects, especially irregular bleeding, as the main reason they discontinued DMPA-SC, which is consistent with other studies in Nigeria on the influence of side effects on continuing a variety of different methods, as well as studies of DMPA-related side effects and continuation [33,34,45]. However, it should be noted that women in our study were only surveyed after two injections spanning up to 6 months of protection against pregnancy; this short follow-up time frame may not have been sufficient for many women to experience side effects associated with long-term use of DMPA, such as amenorrhea [46].
