Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning.

ABSTRACT

JHPIEGO Corporation in Baltimore, Maryland has developed this manual to provide family planning trainers and

service providers (especially those in developing countries) with succinct, current information on how to use the new

copper releasing IUDs, especially the Copper T 380A IUD, safely. The first chapter introduces providers to IUDs,

specifically different IUDS types, mechanism of action, effectiveness, shelf life and effective life, and description of

the Copper T 380A IUD. The manual then presents the information in the same order as providers care for their

clients--from counseling to management of side effects and other health problems. The information is provided in

small parts making it easier for learning and recall. Several sections reiterate some subjects to stress their

significance. Chapter 3 covers indications and precautions. Chapter 4 addresses client assessment. Chapter 5 is

dedicated to IUDs and genital tract infections (GTIs) followed by infection prevention information (Chapter 6). The

next 2 chapters deal with IUD insertion, its removal, postinsertion, and follow-up care. Following the chapter on

management of side effects and other health problems, the manual lays out guidelines on organizing and managing

an IUD program including staffing patterns, orderins and storing IUDs, record keeping, and characteristics of

successful programs. 12 appendices complete the manual and include sample screening checklists for IUD use, a

framework for family planning counseling, sample client assessment checklist, evaluation of clients with possible

GTIs, GTI flow charts, GTI treatment guidelines, processing reusable gloves, infection prevention processes for

instruments and other items, contents of USAID's IUD insertion/removal kit, instructions for loading the Copper T

380A in the sterile package, passing a uterine sound, and inserting the loaded Copper T 380A IUD. (PubHealth.info
