Background. It is estimated that more than 142 million married women in developing countries have an unmet need for family planning. This study is aimed at identifying factors associated with the unmet need of family planning among married women of reproductive age in Toke Kutaye district, Ethiopia in 2019. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Toke Kutaye district from March 1–30, 2019. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 494 reproductive-age women who were married during data collection. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess factors associated with the unmet need of family planning at 95% CI with a p value of ≤ 0.05. Result. The prevalence of unmet need for family planning in the Toke Kutaye district was 23.1% [95% CI (19.2-26.7)], with 15.2% for spacing and 7.9% for limiting. Women’s education [AOR, 3.64, 95% CI: 1.43-9.25], number of living children [AOR, 2.63, 95% CI: 1.37-5.05], husband disapproval of family planning [AOR, 3.68, 95% CI: 2.20-6.16], and discussion with healthcare providers on family planning [AOR, 0.20, 95% CI: 0.13-0.37] were significantly associated with unmet need for family planning. Conclusion. The prevalence of unmet need for family planning was high. Therefore, program managers, partners, and health workers should work to address the gaps in maternal education, the number of living children, partner disapproval of family planning, and discussion on family planning issues through enhancing female education, awareness on family planning, and male involvement in family planning services.

Systematic random sampling technique was used to recruit respondents. A total of 441 reproductive age women on ART were included in the study. The data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Bivariate and backward multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with unmet need for family planning. Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence interval was computed.Results The prevalence of unmet need for family planning was 24.5% (95% CI: 20.4-28.8). Rural residence (AOR: 2.11, 95% CI (1.02, 4.36)), women aged 20-29 years (AOR: 0.29, 95% CI (0.09, 0.93)), 30-34 years (AOR: 0.30, 95% CI (0.10, 0.92)), 35-39 years (AOR: 0.14, 95% CI (0.04, 0.45)), and above 40 years (AOR: 0.08, 95% CI (0.02, 0.38)), have more than three children (AOR: 0.12, 95% CI (0.04, 0.36)), intention to have more children (AOR: 0.08, 95% CI (0.03, 0.23)), who did not disclose their sero-status to partner (AOR: 0.39, 95% CI (0.19, 0.81)), having no experience of contraception use (AOR: 0.44, 95% CI (0.21, 0.92)) were significantly associated with unmet need for family planning.Conclusion One in every four women living with HIV had unmet need for family planning.

Abstract Background Unmet need for family planning in Oromia region was very high (28.9%) compared to other regions in Ethiopia. To address problems associated with unmet need for family planning locally available evidences are essential, however, there were no clear evidences on unmet need for family planning in Tiro Afeta district. This study aims to assess the magnitude and associated factors of unmet need for family planning among currently married women in Tiro Afeta district, South West Ethiopia, 2017. Methods Community based cross sectional study was conducted in April, 2017. A total of 348 currently married women of reproductive age were enrolled from eight villages selected by simple random sampling and using proportional to size allocation. Data were entered using EpiData 3.1 and analyzed by SPSS version 22. Adjusted odds ratios at 95% confidence interval with p-value of < 0.05 were considered as significant variables. Results Unmet need for family planning among currently married women in Tiro Afeta was 26.1%. Factors significantly associated with unmet need for family planning were: never use of family planning before survey (AOR: 5.09, 95% CI: 2.73–9.50); multiparity (AOR: 3.02, 95% CI: 1.56–5.85); perceived husband’s attitude as disapproval (AOR: 2.75, 95% CI: 1.43–5.26); lack of counseling from health workers (AOR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.11–3.85); and unavailability of Radio and/or Television in the house (AOR: 2.05, 95% CI: 1.15–3.66). Conclusion Unmet need for family planning in Tiro Afeta was higher than national average but lower than Oromia region. Never use of family planning, women’s parity, husband’s attitude towards contraceptives, women counseling and unavailability of Radio and/or Television in the respondent’s home were significantly associated factors with unmet need for family planning. Therefore, the service providers and the district health office should strengthen counseling and partner involvement to reduce unmet need for family planning.

Background: Unmet need for family planning refers to the percentage of fecund women of reproductive age either married or in union, women who either wish to postpone the next birth (spacers) or who wish to stop child bearing (limiters) but are not using a contraceptive method. This clearly indicates a gap between a woman’s reproductive intention and current contraceptive behaviour. The objectives of the present study was to determine the prevalence of unmet need for family planning, to assess the association between socio-demographic characteristics and unmet need of family planning, to identify the reasons for unmet need.Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted from June to August 2018 in Ankuli (UHTC). A total of 188 ever married women in the reproductive age group were selected by simple random sampling.Results: Out of 188 women, 41 (21.8%) had no need for contraception and needs for family planning of 78 (41.5%) women had been met. The prevalence of unmet need for family planning was 36.7% consists of 24 (12.8%)  spacing need and 45 (23.9%)  limiting need. It was found that age, education of women, age at marriage, number of living children, contraceptive knowledge and inter-spousal communication were significantly associated with unmet need for family planning. The most common reason for not using any contraceptive method was fear of side effects (40.6%).Conclusions: The unmet need for family planning was high and in order to reduce the gap, the program should address the above reasons.
