Study: "A Study to evaluate the effect of Planned Teaching Programme regarding injection medroxy progesterone acetate (ANTRA) as contraceptive method among eligible women in selected urban area of Ahmedabad City." Objectives: To assess the pre-test knowledge regarding injection medroxy progesterone acetate (antra) as contraceptive method among eligible women in selected urban area . To assess the post-test knowledge regarding injection medroxy progesterone acetate (antra) as contraceptive method among eligible women in selected urban area . To assess the effectivenss of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding injection DMPA (Antara) as contraceptive method among eligble women in selected urban area.. Methodology: Quantitative research approach was used with Pre experimental (one group pre- test post-test) research design. The investigator used Non-probability convenience sampling technique for selecting 30 samples. Result: Injection Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (Antra) as a Contraceptive Method Among Eligible Women in Selected Urban Areas.The demographi canalysis of the study, which involved 30 participants, revealed that the majority (83.3%) belonged to the age group of 25-31 years, followed by 10% in the 18-24 years category and 6.7% in the 32-37 years category. Among them, 96.7% were Hindus, while 3.3% were Christians.Regarding family structure, 53.3% of the participants belonged to nuclear families, while 46.7% were from joint families. Occupationally, the majority (86.7%) were housewives, followed by 10% private employees and 3.3% laborers.The participants‟ family income varied, with 66.7% earning between Rs. 10,001 to 15,000, 20% earning Rs. 5,000 to 10,000, and 13.3% earning Rs. 15,001 to 20,000.

The mean difference was 10.53,The mean pre-test knowledge score was 8.40, increasing to 18.93 in the post-test. •Indicating a 35.11% gain. • The standard deviation for pre-test knowledge was 3.64, while for post - test, it was 2.75 • The t-value was 17.16, which was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Before the intervention, 70% of participants had poor knowledge, while 30% had an average understanding. After the intervention, 73.3% of participants achieved an average level of knowledge, and 26.7% reached a good level. Knowledge Scores •The mean pre-test knowledge score was 44.82, increasing to 59.98 in the post-test. • The mean difference was 15.16 • The standard deviation for pre-test knowledge was 6.64, while for post-test, it was 4.07. • The t-value was 15.75, which was also statistically significant (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that educational intervention significantly improved knowledge and practice regarding DMPA.Detailed Breakdown of Knowledge Gains in Different Aspects of DMPAThese findings highlight significant improvements in participants‟ understanding of various aspects of DMPA, particularly in post-injection instructions (47.5% gain) and knowledge about the duration of DMPA (42% gain).Association Between Demographic Factors and Knowledge The study found that: • Age and educational qualification had a significant association with pre-test knowledge scores (p < 0.05). • Educational qualification was also significantly associated with pre-test scores (p < 0.05). • There was no significant association between knowledge levels and religion, type of family, occupation, income level, source of information, or number of children (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The study demonstrates that a Planned Teaching Programme on Injection Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (Antra) as a contraceptive method was effective in improving the knowledge and practice of eligible women regarding this method of contraception.
