(Birth Control) and Family Planning".
Contraception (birth control)
is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in
order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman
becoming pregnant or giving birth. 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. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical
issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less
controversial than abortion specifically. |

Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning |
| Nurses Association of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists |
| Washington D.C., NAACOG, 1983 Dec. 5 p. OGN Nursing Practice Resource No.9 |
| Fertility awareness through natural family planning is an educational approach which helps individuals to understand |
| their reproductive cycles and to use that information to achieve or to avoid pregnancy through the timing of |
| intercourse during fertile and infertile phases of the cycle, in harmony with their intentions. Natural family planning |
| offers 3 current methods--basal body temperature, ovulation and sympto-thermal--which are based on the naturally |
| occurring fertile and infertile phases of the cycle. Described here are the single or multiple indicators of fertility |
| associated with each method. It is argued that natural family planning methods have a high method effectiveness |
| level and require couple orientation, instruction and follow-up. As a nursing practice resource, this paper outlines |
| the nurse practitioner's roles as primarily teaching and service development. The challenge for the family planning |
| nurse is to teach women and couples ot develop a sense of reproductive responsibility through fertility awareness |
| and to become confident in understanding and using natural family planning. The nurse's administrative function is |
| primarily concerned with the development of good teaching services, providing quality control for natural family |
| planning instructional services, follow-up and program/method accountability as well as providing professional |
| liaison and promotion of natural family planning services within the professional health care groups in the agency |
| and the community served. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT5T 2015-06) |
