Abstract
Family planning refers to a conscious effort by couples to limit or space their children through contraceptive methods. It addresses maternal reproductive health by promoting adequate birth spacing, preventing unwanted pregnancies and abortions, reducing sexually transmitted infections, and enhancing the quality of life for mothers, fetuses, and families overall.
This study assessed knowledge of and attitudes toward permanent family planning methods among men of reproductive age. Specific objectives included evaluating knowledge levels, attitude levels, and associations between demographic factors and these variables. The conceptual framework drew on the Health Belief Model, with data collected via a sociodemographic proforma, a semi-structured knowledge questionnaire, and a Likert attitude scale.
Keywords: Knowledge, attitude, permanent family planning method, men at reproductive age
