Abstract
Background: Total fertility rate (TFR) affects population growth and may increase maternal and infant mortality if not controlled through effective family planning programs, particularly postpartum family planning. Balanced Counseling Strategy (BCS) is a practical, interactive, and client-centered counseling approach designed to improve contraceptive decision-making and client participation.
Objective: This study aimed to review the effectiveness of Balanced Counseling Strategy media as a tool for postpartum family planning decision-making.
Methods: This study used a literature review design. Articles were obtained from electronic databases using the keyword “Balanced Counseling Strategy.” Inclusion criteria included full-text articles published between 2019–2024, employing quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-method designs, and conducted by researchers in the health field. A total of 10 national and international journal articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed.
Results: The reviewed studies showed that Balanced Counseling Strategy media was effective in supporting postpartum family planning decision-making. BCS helped prospective family planning acceptors select contraceptive methods according to their needs and preferences, increased client participation, and improved the effectiveness of counseling services.
Conclusion: Balanced Counseling Strategy media is effective as a counseling tool for postpartum family planning decision-making. Its use supports appropriate contraceptive selection and enhances the quality of postpartum family planning counseling.
