Modern Contraceptives

The national family planning program in East Kalimantan needs to achieve a larger target on modern contraceptives. Despite the fertility decline, this program still facing increasing discontinuation rates. A better understanding of the factors behind the discontinuation of a modern method would help in improving programs. This study aims to analyze the determinants of discontinuation of modern contraceptive use. This was a cross-sectional study, the dataset came from Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2017 of East Kalimantan Province. The sample is all couples of childbearing age between 10–49 years with marital status who have used and are still using contraception (408 samples). Descriptive analyses were used to assess the reasons for discontinuation. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate the likelihood of discontinuation by demographic characteristics and others. The proportion of respondents who continue using modern contraceptives was 51%, against 49% discontinuation. The reasons for discontinuation were the husband’s disapproval (31%) and health problems related to side effects (26.5%). In the multivariate analysis showed maternal age, women who live in urban areas, and women with birth planning near the future will have an opportunity to discontinue in modern contraceptives. It concluded that there is still high modern contraceptive discontinuation in East Kalimantan, therefore it needed for disseminating information through entertainment-education in social media, health workers better counseling services from also better tools, and include the male participation in family planning counseling. DETERMINAN YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN PUTUS PAKAI KONTRASEPSI MODERN DI KALIMANTAN TIMUR: ANALISIS LANJUT SURVEI DEMOGRAFI DAN KESEHATAN INDONESIA 2017Program keluarga berencana nasional di Kalimantan Timur perlu mencapai target yang lebih baik dalam penggunaan kontrasepsi modern. Meskipun terdapat penurunan fertilitas, namun program keluarga berencana masih menghadapi peningkatan angka putus pakai. Pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang faktor-faktor di balik putus pakai metode kontrasepsi modern akan membantu meningkatkan program. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis faktor-faktor penentu putus pakai penggunaan kontrasepsi modern. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional, set data berasal dari Survei Demografi Kesehatan Indonesia 2017 untuk Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Sampel adalah semua pasangan usia subur berusia 10–49 tahun dengan status perkawinan baik bagi yang pernah menggunakan dan masih menggunakan kontrasepsi, yaitu 408 sampel. Analisis deskriptif digunakan untuk menilai alasan putus pakai. Regresi logistik berganda digunakan untuk memperkirakan kemungkinan putus pakai berdasar atas karakteristik demografis dan lainnya. Proporsi responden yang masih terus menggunakan kontrasepsi modern adalah 51% dibanding dengan 49% putus pakai. Alasan penghentian adalah ketidaksetujuan suami (31%) dan masalah kesehatan yang berkaitan dengan efek samping (26,5%). Dalam analisis multivariat menunjukkan usia ibu, wanita yang tinggal di daerah perkotaan, dan wanita dengan perencanaan kelahiran dalam waktu dekat akan memiliki kesempatan untuk berhenti menggunakan kontrasepsi modern. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa kejadian putus pakai kontrasepsi modern masih tinggi di Kalimantan Timur, oleh karena itu diperlukan diseminasi informasi melalui entertainment-education dalam sosial media, layanan konseling dari petugas kesehatan, serta alat bantu konseling yang lebih baik dan juga keikutsertaan pria dalam proses konseling.

Abstract Background: Maternal high-risk fertility behaviors have been linked to negative maternal and child health outcomes that include anaemia, undernutrition, and child mortality. In this context, we examined the association between maternal high-risk fertility behavior and pregnancy intention among women of reproductive age in Rwanda.Methods: This cross-sectional study is based on secondary data from the 2014–15 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (n=5661). The outcome of interest was pregnancy intention of the last child defined as intended or unintended. Maternal high-risk fertility behaviors were measured using maternal age at delivery, birth order, and birth interval. Chi-square test and multivariable regression models were performed. Results: The prevalence of unintended pregnancy was 46.8% (n=2652). Overall, 35.8% (n=2017) of women experienced single high-risk fertility behavior, while 23.1% (n=1282) of women experienced multiple high-risk fertility behaviors. Compared to women who have not experienced high-risk fertility behavior, the multivariable odds ratio (95% CI) of unintended pregnancy among women in single-risk and multiple-risk fertility behaviors were 2.00 (1.75, 2.28; p <0.001) and 2.49 (2.09, 2.95; p <0. 001.), respectively.Conclusion: Exposure to high-risk fertility behaviors is positively associated with unintended pregnancy among women in Rwanda. Therefore, reproductive and sexual health services should pay special attention to women who are <18 years or >34 years old; who have more than three children already; or have children with less than 24 months’ interval between giving birth.

Abstract Background HIV testing is the critical first step in identifying and linking HIV infected people to the treatment cascade and it also provides an important opportunity to reinforce HIV prevention among the negatives. The aim of this study was examine factors associated with HIV testing among youth women. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study design was used and a nationally representative secondary data analysis was done on the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey(EDHS). A total of 6401 youth women were eligible in the study. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 20. Frequencies and weighted percentage of the variables were calculated. Chi-square tests and logistic regression models were used to assess predictors of HIV testing. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to control confounders and to identify the independent contribution of each variable to the outcome variable. Result A total of 6401 youth women aged 15 to 24 years of age were included. Only 37.7% (95% CI:(33.6-39.1%)) of participants were ever tested for HIV in their life. In the final multivariable model age, marital status, level of educational, media access, number of sexual partner, STIs in Past 12 months and comprehensive knowledge to HIV, were significantly associated with ever been tested for HIV. Youth women who were in the age group between 20 to 24 (AOR=2.18; 95CI:(1.800-2.652), who were married (AOR=4.70; 95% CI:(3.674-6.008)), were divorced (AOR=6.16; 95% CI (3.976-9.541)), who had no access to media (AOR = 0.69; 95 CI %: (0.540-0.870)), who had no comprehensive HIV knowledge (AOR = 0.68; 65% CI: (0.530-0.861)) and having one or more sexual partners (AOR=2.48; 95% CI:(1.350-4.551)) were significantly associated with ever been tested for HIV.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the factors associated with low birth weight (LBW) in Afghanistan.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingThis study used data collected from the Afghanistan Demographic and Health Survey 2015.ParticipantsFacility-based data from 2773 weighted live-born children enrolled by a two-stage sampling strategy were included in our analysis.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe primary outcome was LBW, defined as birth weight <2.5kg.ResultsOut of 2773 newborns, 15.5% (n=431) had LBW. Most of these newborns were females (58.3%, n=251), had a mother with no formal schooling (70.5%, n=304), lived in urban areas (63.4%, n=274) or lived in the Central region of Afghanistan (59.7%, n=257). In multivariable analysis, residence in Central (adjusted OR (AOR): 3.4; 95% CI 1.7 to 6.7), Central Western (AOR: 3.0; 95% CI 1.5 to 5.8) and Southern Western (AOR: 4.0; 95% CI 1.7 to 9.1) regions had positive association with LBW. On the other hand, male children (AOR: 0.5; 95% CI 0.4 to 0.8), newborns with primary maternal education (AOR: 0.5; 95% CI 0.3 to 0.8), birth interval ≥48 months (AOR: 0.4; 95% CI 0.1 to 0.8), belonging to the richest wealth quintile (AOR: 0.2; 95% CI 0.1 to 0.6) and rural residence (AOR: 0.3; 95% CI 0.2 to 0.6) had decreased odds of LBW.ConclusionsMultiple factors had association with LBW in Afghanistan. Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health programmes should focus on enhancing maternal education and promoting birth spacing to prevent LBW. To reduce the overall burden of LBW, women of the poorest wealth quintiles, and residents of Central, Central Western and South Western regions should also be prioritised. Further exploration is needed to understand why urban areas are associated with higher likelihood of LBW. In addition, research using nationally representative samples are required.

ObjectivesDespite the adoption of WHO’s Expanded Programme on Immunisation in Indonesia since 1977, a large proportion of children are still completely unimmunised or only partly immunised. This study aimed to assess factors associated with low immunisation coverage of children in Indonesia.SettingChildren aged 12–59 months in Indonesia.ParticipantThe socioeconomic characteristics and immunisation status of the children were obtained from the most recent Demographic and Health Survey, the 2012 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey. Participants were randomly selected through a two-stage stratified sampling design. Data from 14 401 children aged 12–59 months nested within 1832 census blocks were included in the analysis. Multilevel logistic regression models were constructed to account for hierarchical structure of the data.ResultsThe mean age of the children was 30 months and they were equally divided by sex. According to the analysis, 32% of the children were fully immunised in 2012. Coverage was significantly lower among children who lived in Maluku and Papua region (adjusted OR: 1.94; 95% CI 1.42 to 2.64), were 36–47 months old (1.39; 1.20 to 1.60), had higher birth order (1.68; 1.28 to 2.19), had greater family size (1.47; 1.11 to 1.93), whose mother had no education (2.13; 1.22 to 3.72) and from the poorest households (1.58; 1.26 to 1.99). The likelihood of being unimmunised was also higher among children without health insurance (1.16; 1.04 to 1.30) and those who received no antenatal (3.28; 2.09 to 5.15) and postnatal care (1.50; 1.34 to 1.69).ConclusionsSocioeconomic factors were strongly associated with the likelihood of being unimmunised in Indonesia. Unimmunised children were geographically clustered and lived among the most deprived population. To achieve WHO target of protective coverage, public health interventions must be designed to meet the needs of these high-risk groups.
