Background: Unsafe abortion imposes heavy burdens on both individuals and society, particularly in low-income countries, many of which have restrictive abortion laws. Providing family planning counseling and services to women following an abortion has emerged as a key strategy to address this issue. The study aimed to assess the effect of family planning counseling on using contraceptive methods after abortion for women attending Woman’s Health Hospital, Assiut University, Egypt. Methods: Quasi experimental design. Sample: convenient sample of 300 post aborted women divided into two groups A and B. Tools: A structured interviewing questionnaire used as a tool which included Sociodemographic, family planning history and follow up data Results: About 31.2 % in group B versus 16.3% in group A used family planning method after abortion. Pills were the most method used between others methods in both groups 84.1% in group A and 68.2% in group B. Conclusion: women who had the family planning counseling about using contraceptive methods after abortion used family planning significantly higher than those in the non counseling group. Recommendations: Post abortion family planning counseling programs as an essential part of post abortion care is recommended & must be generalized.
