    Objective: Family planning is one of key responsibilities of family physicians; providing birth control methods, and ensuring its practical application remains important for maternal and child health. The aim of this study is to determine the contraception methods used by the individuals who applied to Family Health Centers (FHC) and to reveal the relationship between family planning methods chosen. Material and Methods: A descriptive research method was adopted for this study using the follow-up records of the FHCs. One thousand two hundred thirty-two follow-up records in total were accessed between March 2018 and December 2018, and SPSS 21.0 was used for data analysis. Results: Mean ranks provide evidence that age scores were higher for the users of tubal ligation, and this group had significantly more children than the users of combined oral contraceptives (p<0.001), condom (p<0.001) and intrauterine device (p=0.043). When all the follow-ups were evaluated, it was seen that the number of people who did not use contraceptive methods was high. Conclusion: Family planning and sexual education are associated with the availability and sustainability of resources that are crucial for healthcare. It remains important to provide Family Planning counseling to those who do not use any contraceptive method during the follow-up.

    Objectives In 2018, Harvard University provided a 10-week online course titled Improving Global Health: Focusing on Quality and Safety as using Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) web-based platform. The course was designed for those who care about health and healthcare and wish to learn more about how to measure and improve that care - for themselves, for their institutions, or for their countries. The goal of this course was to provide visual and written education tools for different countries and different age groups. In respect to the aim of this study is to evaluate the impressions and benefits of group learning activity and educational needs after this Improving Global Health courses experience with an online survey among the participants. Methods Sixty-six family medicine practitioners and trainees who were among the participants of the course were the universe of the study. These young General Practitioners/Family Physicians (GPs/FPs) from different countries were organized among themselves to follow the course as a group activity. Two weeks after the course, an online survey was sent to all the participants of this group activity. Results Twenty-eight out of 66 participants (42.4%) completed the survey and provided feedback on their perspectives and experience. Most of them were female (70.4%), and have not attended any MOOC course before (63%). This international group achieved a completion rate of approximately 65% by the deadline and nearly 90% including those finishing afterward. The majority felt that the group activity proved beneficial and supportive in nature. Conclusions Well-structured, sustainable e-learning platforms will be the near futures' medical learning devices in a world without borders. Future studies should further explore facilitators and barriers among FPs for enrolling and completing MOOCs. Furthermore, there is a need to evaluate how these group-learning initiatives may help participants incorporate lessons learned from the course into their daily practice.
