Abstract Background: In low and middle-income countries, 95% of postpartum women want to avoid a pregnancy for 2 years, but 70% are not using contraception. Delay in use of contraception by couples during postpartum period can result in many unwanted pregnancies. Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) is ideal for postpartum women. Therefore this study aimed at assessing the prevalence and factors associated with LARC use among postpartum women. Methods: Facility based cross sectional study was conducted from July 23-Aug 25, 2018. Systematic random sampling technique was employed to recruit a total of 381 women in extended postpartum period visiting Child Immunization service in hosanna health institutions. Pretested structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 20. Binary and multivariate logistic regression analysis was done. The presence and strength of association was determined using AOR with its 95% CI. Variables with P value less than 0.05 were considered as statistical significant. Results: The prevalence of LARC use was 36.5% (95%CI (33.05-39.95)). The main reason for not using LARC was fear of side effect and false information. Previous use of LARC (AOR=3.3, 95%CI (1.7-6.5)) and have ever discussed with health providers on LARC (AOR=2.5, 95%CI (1.1-5.74)) were found to be significantly associated with LARC use. Conclusions: the utilization of LARC among postpartum women was found to be high in this study. Increase women’s access to realistic information on LARC, mainly on IUCD, both at community and health institution level need to be emphasized to enhance its uptake.

Results: Less than one fifth (18.1%) of participants intend to give birth within 2 years. The prevalence of LARC use was 36.5% (95%CI (33.05-39.95)). The main reason for not using was fear of side effect and false information.

Conclusions: Despite their lesser intention to give birth within 2 years, the utilization of LARC among postpartum women was found to be low in this study. Provision of health education and expanding access should be emphasized to enhance its utilization.

Abstract Objectives: (i) to evaluate female sexual function in remote postpartum period within Brazilian women and (ii) to compare female sexual dysfunction in relation to the mode of delivery. Methods: in this cross-sectional study, two groups of remote postpartum women, who underwent vaginal delivery (n=30) and cesarean (n=48), were studied. The sexual function of participants was assessed through an online Brazilian version of FSFI between 45 and 180 days after delivery. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using Fisher exact test, and Student t test. Results: based on the data of 78 women who completed the online questionnaire, 78% (n=61) showed sexual dysfunction on remote postpartum period being that the FSFI mean score for vaginal postpartum was 22.17 and for cesarean postpartum, 21.12 (p=0.443). Conclusions: the majority of remote postpartum women showed sexual dysfunction. There was no significant difference found on female sexual function between modes of delivery.
