| Abstract: | Aim The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching program vs information leaflet on contraceptive measures among college students. Materials and methods For the first round of data collection, 150 participants each received a Knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) questionnaire. The participants were randomly allocated into two groups consisting equal number of participant. Interventions were administered to each group, with Group A receiving an informational leaflet and Group B undergoing a structured teaching program. After one month, same questionnaires were reintroduced to both groups to evaluate the enhancement in their knowledge levels more accurately. Results The majority of the 150 participants knew about contemporary methods of contraception, but the percentage of those with sufficient knowledge was low—most had either little or moderate knowledge prior to the intervention. Following an intervention using instruments like information booklets and structured teaching programs, it was discovered that participants' knowledge levels increased significantly following the structured teaching program (96.8%) as compared to information leaflets (42.5%). The study also discovered that the participants knew very little to nothing about injectable contraceptive methods. The study participants had insufficient knowledge about modern methods of contraception, such as oral contraceptive pills and emergency contraceptive pills, despite their awareness of them. Interestingly, we discovered that condom was the most preferred method of birth control, followed by the rhythm method. . The majority of them were misinformed about the negative effects of birth control pills, like infertility and difficulties to conceive in the future, and they disclosed that the worry about the side effects was their main reason for not using a contraceptive pill. Conclusion In conclusion, the majority of the participants had awareness about modern methods of contraception, yet adequate knowledge was lacking. The intervention with information leaflet and structured teaching programs resulted in significant increase in knowledge levels, notably more pronounced with the structured teaching program compared to information leaflet. Furthermore, the research uncovered a lack of awareness regarding injectable contraceptive methods among participants. Despite familiarity with modern contraceptive methods like oral and emergency contraceptive pills, participants exhibited inadequate knowledge. Notably, condoms emerged as the most preferred method of contraception followed by rhythm method. Misconceptions about the adverse effects of birth control pills, such as infertility and future conception difficulties, were prevalent. Concerns about side effects emerged as a prominent reason for non-use of contraceptive pills. This underscores the importance of targeted educational interventions to address knowledge gaps and dispel misconceptions surrounding contraceptive methods among the study population. |
