Abstract Background Even though the modern contraceptive use was improved in Ethiopia, the utilization of long-acting family planning services is still low because of numerous factors. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize logical evidence about factors associated with long acting family planning service utilization in Ethiopia. Methods The participants of the study were married women of reproductive age in Ethiopia. This search included all published and unpublished observational studies written in the English language conducted before April 30, 2018, in Ethiopia. Electronic and non-electronic sources were used. PubMed, MEDLINE (EBSCO), CINHAL (EBSCO), Embase (EBSCO), POPLINE and the search engines like Google, Google Scholar Mednar and world cat log were used. The overall selected search results were 15 studies. Each study was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Studies. Data synthesis and statistical analysis were conducted using ReviewManagerVersion5.3.5. Results Women’s inadequate knowledge level [OR, 0.29; 95% CI: 0.10, 0.83, P = 0.02], women’s age between 15 and 34 [OR, 0.82; 95% CI: 0.53, 0.93, P = 0.01], not having electronic media [OR, 0.65; 95% CI: 0.53, 0.79, P < 0.0001] and women from rural area [OR = 0.65;95% CI:0.50, 0.81, P = 0.0009] were less likely associated in the use of long-acting family planning services. The odds of utilizing long acting family planning methods were high among non-government- employed women and husband [OR, 1.77; 95% CI: 1.29, 2.43, P = 0.0004], [OR, 1.69; 95% CI: 1.33, 2.15, P < 0.0001] respectively. Having no previous exposure to any modern family planning method [OR = 2.29; 95%CI: 1.83, 2.86, P < 0.00001] and women having no discussion with husband [OR = 1.92 (95%CI: 1.50, 2.45) P < 0.00001] were more likely associated in the utilization of long-acting family planning services. Conclusion Lack of information and knowledge, having discussion with husband, being women of younger age, having less than five living children, being government-employed women and husband, not having electronic media, and being residents in rural area were significant barriers for underutilization of long acting family planning methods in Ethiopia. Hence, the investigators suggest that key stakeholders should design interventions strategies to avert attitudinal, cultural and informational barriers towards long-acting family planning methods.

Introduction: Family planning is an integral part of maternal health as its uptake is a significant factor in the reduction of maternal mortality and in ensuring positive child health outcomes specially in developing countries, however, its usage remains low. Objectives: To describe prevalence and pattern of contraceptive use, among women accessing family planning facilities. Study design: A retrospective review of hospital records of family planning clinic clients at the teaching hospital was conducted. Results: Total 2811 clients accepted a family planning service during the period. Contraceptive prevalence rate was 21%. Modal age group of clients (81%) was below 20 years old. Injection Depo was the most common method (69%) and implant was less used method (8%) among the temporary method of family planning. Conclusion: There is an identified need for promotion of uptake of family planning methods. Involvement of young women, uneducated women and men in contraception counseling and services is essential to improve its uptake and continuity.

The use of contraceptives for family planning improves women’s lives and may prevent maternal deaths. However, many women in low and middle-income countries, including the Pacific region, still die from pregnancy-related complications. While most health centres offer family planning services with some basic contraceptive methods, many people do not access these services. More than 60% of women who would like to avoid or delay their pregnancies are unable to do so. This scoping review identifies and analyses evidence about family planning service provision in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs), with the aim of better informing family planning services for improved maternal health outcomes in the Pacific. We used Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review guidelines, supported by Levac, Colquhoun and O’Brien to identify gaps in family planning service provision. Selected studies included peer-reviewed publications and grey literature that provided information about family planning services from 1994 to 2019. Publication data was charted in MS Excel. Data were thematically analysed and key issues and themes identified. A total of 45 papers (15 peer-reviewed and 30 grey literature publications) were critically reviewed. Five themes were identified: i) family planning services in the Pacific; ii) education, knowledge and attitudes; iii) geographical isolation and access; iv) socio-cultural beliefs, practices and influences; and v) potential enabling factors for improved family planning, such as appropriate family planning awareness by health care providers and services tailored to meet individual needs. While culture and religion were considered as the main barriers to accessing family planning services, evidence showed health services were also responsible for limiting access. Family planning services do not reach everyone. Making relevant and sustainable improvements in service delivery requires generation of local evidence. Further research is needed to understand availability, accessibility and acceptability of current family planning services for different age groups, genders, social and marital status to better inform family planning services in the Pacific.

Abstract Background Long-acting contraceptive methods can play a pivotal role in reducing maternal mortality. In Etiopia, the total fertility rate per woman is 4.6. However, this rapid population growth is not in line with the weak economic growth of the country. Therefore, this study was done to explore the lived experiences of women who underwent early removal of long-acting contraceptive methods in Bedesa town, Southern Ethiopia. Methods A phenomenological study design was employed to include a total of 10 in-depth interviews of sampled women. Participants were recruited through criterion sampling method. Open code version 4.03 was used to code and facilitate analysis. Transcripts were read and re-read separately to identify emerging themes. Thematic analysis technique was used. Results This study revealed that the side effect of the long-acting family planning methods were the main reason for early removal. Furthermore, heavy and irregular menses were mentioned as the most frequently occurred side effects. Delayed fertility after removal of long-acting contraceptive was one of frequently stated fear by the clients. It was also stated that counseling provided by health professionals was not adequate. Conclusion The majority of study participants taught that the side effects of long-acting family planning methods outweigh the benefits. Besides, the counseling services provided by health care providers were not adequate. Therefore, proper counseling services should be given to mothers who are taking long-acting family planning methods.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Family planning is a proven cost-effective intervention that has contributed to women empowerment and overall human development. Demand factors and women’s expectations and experiences at health facility for family planning services may influence their uptake and utilisation of these services. Increased awareness and positive community perception and quality of family planning services that meet clients’ expectations may greatly improve utilization. The aim of this study was to identify ways to improve family planning service users' experience at primary health care centres towards improving utilization of family planning services in two northern Nigerian states. METHODS: This qualitative study was part of a larger operations research that explored married women’s and service providers’ perception of quality of care along the RMNCH pathway to inform improvements in service delivery. The study utilised Experience-based co-design (EBCD) methodology that employed qualitative methods to explore clients and service providers’ experiences of healthcare services. A total of 92 IDIs and 4 FGDswere conducted in two communities each in Kano and in Yobe states. ‘Touch points’ from service providers’ and respondents’ experiences were extracted using thematic analysis. Joint workshops were further conducted with clients and providers to co-design a user-driven service pathway to improve service utilization. RESULTS: Key 'touch points' from providers’ experiences included stock out of family planning commodities, inadequate equipment and infrastructure and cultural and religious believes that prevent utilization of family planning services. In addition, clients reported challenges securing husband permission to utilize services, poor provider attitude and lack of female providers at health facility as obstacles to service utilization. Co-designing a service improvement plan by service providers and clients that involved increasing community awareness about the benefits of family planning by service providers, improving providers’ attitude, increasing family planning outreach and promoting men involvement in family planning programmes. CONCLUSION: EBCD provides a platform that make clients active contributors to family planning service improvement plans at the health facility thereby ensuring provision of quality services that meet the need of women.
