ABSTRACT
India is still among the overpopulated countries of the world. Uncontrolled population growth is the main hurdle to the positive development of the country. A descriptive study was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding birth control implants among eligible couples in specific rural areas of Bangalore. Birth control implants are an effective method of family planning, but their use is low in rural areas due to lack of awareness. A quantitative approach was used to conduct this study. A nonexperimental descriptive research design was adopted. A non-probability convenience sampling technique has been used to choose eligible couples. A self-structured knowledge and attitude questionnaire was used to gather data, and differential inferential statistics were used for analysis. The results indicated that most eligible couples have a reasonable level of understanding about birth control implants, with 18 (45%) and 36 (90%) having a positive attitude. The study emphasizes the necessity of health education to raise eligible couples’ knowledge about birth control implants in remote locations.
