ABSTRACT

The unique advantages possessed by nurses in promoting family planning in India are briefly described. First of all,

the nursing profession is mostly a female occupational specialty; and women have been pioneers in the family

planning movement all over the world. Secondly, the only means of controlling population rationally is by prevention

of unwanted births; and the receptivity to ideas on family planning is highest in the postpartum period-when contact

with nurses is frequent. Thirdly, women will be more amenable to suggestion from members of their own sex and

feel free to get doubts clarified. The promotion of family planning by nurses should emanate from the conviciton that

family planning methods are desirable for the health and happiness of individual families. In addition, as working

women, the precepts are even more applicable to nurses, who are thereby in a valuable position to influence their

patients by both example and advice. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3536-06)
