Family planning is the ability of individuals and couples to anticipate and attain their desired number of children and the spacing and timing of their births. It is achieved through use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of involuntary infertility. Permanent contraception involves making a person incapable of reproduction. Disrupting the tubes that carry sperm or the egg ends the ability to reproduce. This form of contraception should always be considered permanent, although the procedures can sometimes be reversed. Family planning is the consideration of the number of children a person wishes to have, including the choice to have no children, and the age at which they wish to have them. Things that may play a role on family planning decisions include marital situation, career or work considerations, financial situations. If sexually active, family planning may involve the use of contraception and other techniques to control the timing of reproduction. Tubal ligation is a surgical sterilization techniques for women, where the fallopian tubes are cut, or blocked with rings, bands or clips. This procedure closes the fallopian tubes, and stops the egg from travelling to the fallopian tubes where fertilization takes place. It also prevents sperm from travelling up the fallopian tube to fertilize an egg. Sterilization is effective immediately after the procedure. Tubal ligations are 99.5% effective as a birth control method. Vasectomy is a permanent method of contraception for men, involving a minor surgical procedure where the vasa deferentia (singular: vas deferens), or sperm ducts, are cut and then tied or sealed. This operation keeps sperm from mixing into the semen when men ejaculate. Without sperm, fertilization of an egg cannot occur, and so pregnancy is prevented. RESEARCH APPROACH: Quantitative Research Approach DESIGN: Pre Experimental One group Pre-Test and Post-Test Design. PARTICIPINATS: 60 selected married women (30-45 years) were selected by using Non-Probability Consecutive sampling technique INTERVENTION: the information given by myself about the permanent family planning methods through planned teaching programme by lesson plan over 30 to 45 minutes. And the post test was conducted at 7th day. TOOL: Self structured imterview questionnaire on permanent family planning methods. RESULTS: Pre-test score regarding 83.3% married women (30-45 years) had poor knowledge and 16.7% married women (30-45 years) had average knowledge regarding Permanent family planning methods. In Post test score regarding 66.7% married women (30-45 years) had average knowledge & 33.3% married women (30-45 years) had good knowledge regarding Permanent family planning methods. The results shows that mean score of pre- test and post-test of permanent family planning methods among married women (30-45 years) 9.55 ± 2.42 and 18.50 ± 2.43 were respectively. Comparison of pretest and post-test mean score among married women (30-45 years) in paired‘t’ test reveals that ‘t’ value was 19.20 which showed a statistically significant at p≤ 0.05 level.
