In 0-3 months, 4-6 months, 7-9 months and 10-2 months after discharge, these women were visited and filled the self-designed questionnaires. And the questionnaires were analyzed. Results: The postpartum contraceptive rate and the cumulative contraceptive rate of the women in the observation group in the different periods were significantly higher than those of the women in the control group (P<0.05). In 1 year after delivery, the contraceptive rate (97.0%) of the women in the observation group was significantly higher than that (73.7%) of the women in the control group. The cumulative contraceptive rate (90.6%) of the women in the observation group was significantly higher than that (65.7%) of the women in the control group. The rate of intrauterine device used (25.9%) of the women in the observation group was significantly higher than that (1.2%) of the women in the control group (all P<0.05). The unplanned pregnancy rate (0.5%) of the women in the observation group was significantly lower than that (1.0%) of the women in the control group (P<0.05).
