Background. Good quality family planning counseling particularly in the postpartum period is paramount to contraception adoption and continuation; it is also paramount in the reduction of maternal as well as infant morbidity and mortality. Objective. Assess the level of family planning counseling provided for women in their immediate postpartum period in the labor ward at Saint Paul’s Hospital in 2019. Method. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March of 2019 among women in the labor ward. A face-to-face exit interview was conducted with 209 randomly selected women. A structured pretested questionnaire was used to assess the level of family planning counseling provided. Bivariate logistic regression was used to test for statistical association. Results. Only 28.2% of the counseling sessions were adequate. Most (58.9%) of the counseling sessions did not maintain the privacy of the client. In 67.9% of the sessions, the counselor did not ask the concern of the client regarding the use of modern family planning methods and 74.2% of the clients were not told about the possible side effects of a method. Clients with no formal education (OR=2.52, 95%CI=1.1‐3.3) and those with only primary level education (OR=1.22, 95%CI=1.04‐3.02) were more likely to have had inadequate counseling. Conclusion. The level of family planning counseling was inadequate. The study indicated the need to provide training for service providers on family planning counseling with the existing standard frameworks but also in consideration of the sociodemographic background of the client, particularly their educational status.

Background: The contraceptive implant (Implanon) has been recognised as one of the most effective family planning methods and is a healthier choice for women in Africa due to its efficacy and convenience. Despite the evidence of effectiveness and safety of the implant, the actual uptake for Implanon use in the Ugu district of KwaZulu-Natal is relatively low. The aim of the study was to determine factors associated with Implanon uptake in Ugu North Sub District 2016/17.Methods: An observational cross-sectional study with an analytical component using self-administered questionnaires to collect information from 385 participants using randomised systematic sampling was conducted at family planning clinics at GJ Crookes Hospital and seven surrounding primary health care clinics. The chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression was used to determine associations.Results: Some 16% (n = 60) of the participants utilised Implanon. Despite having the correct knowledge 65.7% (n = 220) were not willing to use Implanon if it were offered. In addition, 55% of participants (n = 177) believed Implanon had more side effects. Parity ( 4 children) was found to be a statistically significant protective factor against (p 0.05) Implanon uptake.Conclusion: Implanon is a highly unattractive method of contraception for women residing in the Ugu North Sub District. Fear of side effects and invasive method of insertion were identified as the major barriers to Implanon use. Education and increased patient awareness are strategies to increase the desirability and uptake of Implanon.

Abstract Background: The extended post-partum period is the twelve months after delivery, which is a very critical time for mothers to ensure a safe birth interval. Many women do not realize that they are at risk of pregnancy during the postpartum period and the importance of birth interval. Birth interval more than two years reduces maternal and child mortality and give a better health for the mother and the child. Because of this assessing post-partum contraceptive utilization and the determining factors is crucial. Hence, the study was conducted to determine contraceptive utilization and identify factors which affect post -partum contraceptive utilization Methods: A community based cross sectional study was implemented among 422 women who gave birth one year prior to the study period in wukro town. The total sample size was allocated to the three kebeles proportionally. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select study subjects. Data were collected by interviewer administered structured questionnaire. The data were coded and entered using EpiData version 3.1 and transported to Statistical Package for Social Science version 20 for analysis. Binary and multivariable logistic regressions were fitted. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to measure strength of association. Results: A total of 422 women were enrolled in this study. Nearly half (48.6%) of the women were using contraceptive. Multivariable logistic regression showed that prenatal counseling [AOR 3.06(95% CI; 1.30, 7.22)], menses returned [AOR 3.99(95% CI; 1.96, 8.11)] and resuming sexual activity [AOR 5.96(95% CI; 2.67, 13.3)] were positively associated with utilization of postpartum contraceptive. Conclusions: Postpartum contraceptive use was low. Strengthening prenatal family planning counseling and improving women’s awareness about the return of their fertility after childbirth are suggested to improve family planning utilization in extended postpartum period.

Abstract Background Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the dominant cause of global morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries. Tackling NCDs is central to advancing women’s and child health, and future generations. Many NCDs can be prevented with appropriate approaches across the maternal and child health life-cycle, throughout the years of reproductive age especially before conception and continuing through pregnancy. However, women’s awareness of NCDs screening during the preconception period was not well known in many countries including Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess women’s awareness of common NCDs screening during the preconception period and associated factors in Manna District, Jimma Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, 2019. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 02 to April 10, 2019. The sample size was 636 pregnant women from eight randomly selected rural kebeles and a purposively taken urban kebele. The data were collected using a pre-tested structured questionnaire and entered into Epi data manager version 4.0.2 and exported to SPSS version 21. Descriptive, binary, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out. Results Of the total of 623 respondents, 459 (73.7%) of them had good awareness of common NCDs screening during the preconception period. Women who had formal education [AOR = 1.95, 95% CI: (1.31–2.89)], those who had planned pregnancy [AOR = 2.17, 95% CI: (1.47–3.19)], on ANC follow up [AOR = 1.79, 95% CI: (1.16–2.74], and those who had media (radio and/or television) in their house [AOR = 1.55, 95% CI: (1.05–2.29)] had good awareness on common NCDs screening during the preconception period compared to their counterparts. Conclusions In this study, nearly three-quarters of respondents had a good awareness of common NCDs screening during the preconception period. Women’s educational status, pregnancy planning status, ANC visit, and having radio and/or television in the house were predictors of women’s good awareness of common NCDs screening during the preconception period. Therefore, all concerned bodies are recommended to work toward increasing women’s awareness using different approaches like awareness creation campaigns and counseling clients attending health facilities.
