Background: Emergency contraception (EC) is defined as the use of a drug or device to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse and thus can reduce unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortions. EC is used after the unprotected sex, unlike other regular methods of contraception which are taken before the sexual act. Appropriate knowledge of EC among health care professionals is required as EC are the only method that can be used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive accident. Aims and Objectives: To assess knowledge, attitude and practices regarding emergency contraceptive pills among Nursing students. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on Nursing students. Nursing students of all four years who were present and given consent on the day of data collection were recruited for the study. A pre-designed pre-tested self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge and attitude practices regarding emergency contraceptives among nursing students. Data thus collected were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: Out of a total of 297 nursing students who participated, 90% have heard about emergency contraceptives. Very few were aware of the various methods available for emergency contraception. Only 35.4% knew about the correct timings of their use. The majority had the misconception that EC can be used to induce abortion and as a birth control measure. 67.4% showed a favourable attitude towards advising a woman to use EC when needed. 24.8% said that EC was advised by them to patients or relatives. Conclusion: Although the awareness about emergency contraceptives is high but the knowledge regarding correct timings and usage is poor.
