 Background: Family planning contributes in preventing maternal and child mortality and empowers women. For the past ten years contraceptive prevalence rate has remained stagnant in Nepal. This study aimed at iden­tifying the use and factors associated with modern contraceptive methods in Piple, Chitwan, Nepal. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. Piple village development com­mittee was selected purposively, in which two wards were randomly se­lected. Married women of reproductive age (n=332) of each household were interviewed. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analysis were performed. Results: About half (49%) of the respondents had used a modern contra­ceptive method. Women in the age groups 25-39 years [aOR: 2.39; 95% CI: 1.16 - 4.92] and 40-49 years [aOR: 4.67; 95% CI: 1.71 - 12.70] were more likely to use modern contraceptives compared to the women in the age group 15-24 years. Similarly, women having 3 or more living children [aOR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.19 - 7.50] were more likely to use the modern contracep­tives than women with upto two children. Women whose husbands would approve of using the contraceptives [aOR: 11.33; 95% CI: 3.93-32.62] were more likely to use the methods than those who got or perceived no ap­proval from husband. Conclusions: Information and service on modern contraceptive methods should be focused to younger women. Involvement of husbands in family planning program would contribute to use of modern contraceptives by women.

Abstract Background: Contraceptive use has increased markedly in the recent years in most developing countries, due to desire for smaller families; however, millions of women still want to delay or avoid pregnancy but are not using contraception to limit or to space their birth.Thus, the objective of this study is to assess unmet need for family planning among married women in Mekelle city, Tigray. Methods: Community based cross-sectional study was conducted among married reproductive age women. Data were collected from October, 15 up to Novmber, 15/ 2018. A total of 426 study participants were interviewed using a systematic random sampling technique. Structured and interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect the data and were analyzed using SPSS version 22. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the predictors of the outcome variable. P-value of less than 0.05 was considered to test statistical significance. Results: The overall unmet need for modern contraception among the currently married women of reproductive age women was 19.7% (95% CI: 16.2%-23.7%) and of which 13.3% was unmet need for spacing and 6.4% was unmet need for limiting.Age of mother (25-34 years: AOR =2.79, 95%CI =1.03-7.60), occupational status of mother (AOR =2.72, 95%CI =1.72-4.02), number of living children (AOR =2.31 95%CI =1.09-4.84) and knowledge of mother about modern contraceptive methods (AOR =3.38, 95%CI=1.82-9.92) were independent predicators for unmet need for modern contraception. Conclusion: The prevalence of unmet need for contraception is low. Age of mother, occupational status of mother, number of children and knowledge of mother about modern contraceptive methods were the independent predicators for unmet need of modern contraception. Strong effort should be made by health care workers to reduce unmet need and policy makers should use different approaches to educate women about modern contraception and increase its utilization for spacing and limiting.

Background: Intra natal care means care taken during delivery. This consists of taking care of not only the mother but also the newborn at the time of child-birth. Appropriate delivery care is crucial for both maternal and perinatal health. Increasing skilled attendance at birth is a central goal of the safe motherhood and child survival mission. Postpartum care aimed at complication-free puerperium and a healthy baby. There is a high risk of mortality for both the mother and her baby in the immediate period around birth. High quality intranatal and postnatal care is the important way to reduce the maternal morbidity and mortality. Utilization of intranatal and postnatal services is poor in the rural areas, which ultimately lead to increased maternal & child morbidity and mortality.Methods: The study was carried out among married women of reproductive age group. Pre-designed and pretested Performa was used to obtain the information from participants. It was community based cross - sectional study. All the collected data were analysed by applying appropriate statistical tests. The data were analysed by statistical package for social sciences (SPSS).Results: A total of 353 women were included in the study. Majority (86.97%) of women utilized health facility either government or private for their deliveries. Significant difference was observed between literacy status as well as socio economic class and utilization of institutional facility for the place of delivery. More than half women i.e. nearly 56% had not availed postnatal care services.Conclusions: Percentage of institutional deliveries as well as deliveries attended by skilled birth attendant was quite better. The most common reason for not availing the intra natal and postnatal services was found to be lack of knowledge regarding importance of these services on the outcome of delivery.
