Background: The high fertility rate leading to the rapid growth of country’s population is a major hindrance towards the development of a nation. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest fertility rate in the world, which is further promoted by the low utilization of contraceptive methods. Yet, many communities claim to have natural methods of family planning that pre-date the introduction of modern contraceptives, implying that contraception is a culturally acceptable norm. Objective: To Evaluate the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice towards Natural family planning among reproductive age women of Jimma town, Oromia, Ethiopia. Methods: Across sectional community based quantitative study was done in Jimma town, among reproductive age group women from February to March; 2020. A total of3 99 sample size is calculated using single population proportion formula with a proportion (P) of 50 %.Systematic random sampling technique issued to draw the study participants among the target population. The data was collected using structured questionnaire adapted from similar and the tools modified to fit the local context. The collected data was tallied and analyzed by using scientific calculator. Results: From the total of 399 respondents who responded the questionnaire Majority, 90% of women in Jimma town had a good level of knowledge of natural family planning methods. A positive attitude towards natural family planning methods was seen in (68%) of the respondents. Conclusion: A fair level of knowledge of natural family planning methods is seen among reproductive women in Jimma town, yet differences in knowledge of specific natural family planning methods exist.

Family Planning Methods

Women of reproductive age need reliable and effective family planning methods to manage their fertility. Natural family planning (NFP) methods or fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs) have been increasingly used by women due to their health benefits. Nevertheless, effectiveness of these natural methods remains inconsistent, and these methods are difficult for healthcare providers to implement in their clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Marquette Model NFP system to avoid pregnancy for women at multiple teaching sites using twelve months of retrospectively collected teaching data. Survival analysis (Kaplan–Meier) was used to determine typical unintended pregnancy rates for a total of 1,221 women. There were forty-two unintended pregnancies which provided a typical use unintended pregnancy rate of 6.7 per 100 women over twelve months of use. Eleven of the forty-two unintended pregnancies were associated with correct use of the method. The total unintended pregnancy rate over twelve months of use was 2.8 per 100 for women with regular cycles, 8.0 per 100 women for the postpartum and breastfeeding women, and 4.3 per 100 for women with irregular menstrual cycles. The Marquette Model system of NFP was effective when provided by health professionals who completed the Marquette Model NFP teacher training program. Summary: This study involved determining whether healthcare professionals at ten sites across the United States and Canada trained to provide the Marquette Method NFP services can replicate the effectiveness demonstrated in previous studies of the method. We found a high level of effectiveness (i.e., very low pregnancy rates) in using the Marquette Method among women from various regions across North America with diverse reproductive backgrounds and in particular when using hormonal fertility marker. Healthcare providers who have been trained to teach NFP can successfully incorporate NFP services in their practice and assist their clients in choosing appropriate family planning methods.
