Background. The postpartum period is an important transitional time for couples to put the decision on family planning utilization. However, women in Ethiopia are usually uncertain about the use of family planning during this period. This cross-sectional study was, therefore, aimed at determining the intention of modern contraceptive use and associated factors among postpartum women attending the immunization clinic in Sodo town, Ethiopia. Method. This institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 416 study participants from May 25 to June 20, 2019. The data were collected by using a systematic random sampling technique of interviewer-administered questionnaires. Descriptive analysis was done, and results were presented in texts and tables. Variables at bivariate analysis with a p value < 0.2 were moved to the multivariate logistic regression model to control potential confounding variables. Statistical tests at p value < 0.05 during multivariate analysis were considered as a cutoff point to determine statistical significance. Results. A total of 416 postpartum women participated in the study yielding a response rate of 98.1%. The prevalence of intention on modern contraceptive use among study participants was 70%. The odds of intention on modern contraceptive use was higher among study participants who had secondary school education (AOR=2.052, 95% CI: 1.064-3.958), antenatal care visit (AOR=1.74; 95% CI: 1.02-2.95), knowledge on modern contraceptive use (AOR=2.54; 95% CI: 1.50-4.28), menses resumption (AOR=2.05; 95% CI: 1.14-3.68), and husband approval to use contraceptives (AOR=2.395, 95% CI: 1.501-5.458). Conclusion. The intention of modern contraceptive use among postpartum women was low. Family planning providers should emphasize reducing barriers of intention like lack of education, knowledge, male partner approval, antenatal care visit, and advise the impact of menses on fertility.

Abstract Background: The postpartum period is an important transitional time for couples to put the decision on family planning utilization. However, women in Ethiopia are usually uncertain about the use of family planning during this period. This study was aimed to assess the intention of modern contraceptive use and associated factors among postpartum women attending the immunization clinic in Sodo Town.Method: Institutional based cross-sectional study design with a sample size of 416 was conducted from May 25 to June 20, 2019. The data were collected by using a systematic random sampling technique of interviewer-administered questionnaires. Those candidate variables at Bivariate analysis with a p-value<0.2 were moved to the Multivariate logistic regression model to control potential confounding variables and P-value<0.05 at multivariate analysis was considered as a cutoff pointResults: A total of 416 postpartum women participated in the study yielding a response rate of 98.1 % and 291 (70%) of them had an intention on modern contraceptive use. The odds of intention on modern contraceptive use was higher among respondents who had secondary school education (AOR=2.052, 95%CI: 1.064-3.958) than participants with no formal education. It was also higher among antenatal care visit attendees (AOR=1.736,95%CI:1.021-2.951) than those did not attend antenatal care visit. Knowledgeable participants on modern contraceptive use were more likely intend to use (AOR=2.535, 95%CI: 1.499-4.282) than their counterparts. Besides, the odds of the intention of modern contraceptive use among postpartum women who had menses resumption were higher (AOR=2.047,95%CI:1.141-3.675)than those whose menses not resumed.Participants who had husband approval were more likely to intend to use contraceptives (AOR=2.395,95%CI:1.501-5.458) than their counterparts.Conclusion: The intention of modern contraceptives among postpartum women was low. Family planning providers should emphasize reducing barriers of intention like lack of education, knowledge, male partner approval, antenatal care visit and advise the impact of menses on fertility.

Abstract Background Postpartum contraception is important for spacing and limiting childbirth. Although the use of modern contraception has been shown to reduce maternal and child morbidities and mortalities, postpartum women have one of the highest unmet needs for family planning. Inter-birth intervals less than 24 months have adverse effects on both the mother and the child, yet very limited empirical evidence exist on contraceptive use among postpartum women in Ghana. This study sought to determine the prevalence and determinants of modern contraceptive use among postpartum women in the Tema Metropolis, Ghana. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 320 postpartum women with babies aged between three and 15 months. Participants were recruited from child welfare clinics in two government health facilities in the Tema metropolitan area using a simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using STATA version 15. Chi-square and multiple logistic regressions techniques were used to examine associations between postpartum contraceptive use and key independent variables. Statistical significance was set at p = 0.05. Adjusted odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals were used to assess the strength of association. Results The prevalence rate of modern contraceptive use among postpartum women was 26.3%. Postpartum contraceptive use was significantly associated with past contraceptive use [AOR = 7.7 (95%CI: 3.4–17.5)]; return of menses [AOR = 4.3 (95%CI: 1.7–11.3)]; resumption of sexual activity [AOR = 4.7 (95%CI: 1.4–15.4)]; discussion of family planning with male partner [AOR = 3.1 (95%CI: 1.03–9.2)]; male partners’ approval of modern contraception [AOR = 18.1 (95%CI: 6.3–51.6)]; family planning counselling received during antenatal care [AOR = 3.5 (95%CI: 1.3–9.9)] and knowledge of at least one modern methods of contraception available at the health facility [AOR = 4.7 (95%CI: 1.9–11.5)]. Conclusions Postpartum contraceptive uptake is low among women in the Tema area. Factors that influence modern contraceptive uptake among postpartum women include past modern contraceptive use, resumption of sexual activity and menstruation, male partner involvement in contraception, family planning counselling during antenatal care and knowledge of the modern methods of contraception available at the health facility. Strengthening family planning education and counselling during antenatal care and using a multi-prong strategy to engage men as partners in family planning will improve postpartum contraceptive uptake.
