Family planning implies spacing and timing of child births. However, despite many actions put in place by government at all levels to sensitize citizen on the need for family planning; most Nigeria population still does not practice it as expected. Thus, the study assessed the utilization of family planning methods among rural women in Ogun State.  Multistage sampling technique was used to select 120 respondents and structured questionnaire schedule was used for the data collection. Data collected were analysed using both descriptive and inferential analysis.Result shows that majority of the rural women had mean age of 33±10, 45.0% were Muslims, 57.5% had secondary education, 77.5% married, 50.0% traders, 39.1% had between 5 and 6 persons in their households, 42.5% earned between 35,001 and 60,000 monthly and 66.7% of the were member of social association. Also, 60.8% had low awareness of contraceptive methods. In addition, 56.7% had high knowledge of family planning methods, most of the rural women sourced information on family planning through television. Also, increase in weight experienced by the respondents were the health factors militating against the utilization of family planning methods by the rural women as 50.8% had high utilization of family planning methods used by the rural women. There was a significant relationship between member of social association (?2=4.268, p<0.05), awareness of contraceptive method utilize by rural women (r=0.761, p<0.05), knowledge (r=0.617, p<0.002), source of information (r=-0.119, p<0.05), factors (r=0.201, p<0.05) and level of utilization of family planning methods.It is therefore concluded that most of the women had high knowledge of family planning methods but only utilized the commons ones available to them. It is therefore recommended that educative trainings should be organized for the women to enhance their usage of other methods to ensure a secured child bearing.

Abstract Background: Poor contraceptive utilization increases the risk of unintended pregnancies that could results in complications and mortalities among women and children. To circumvent these adverse health outcomes, long-acting and permanent contraceptive methods are the most effective methods. This study explored the magnitude and associated factors of long-acting and permanent family planning methods utilization among current family planning users largely on the rural women of Ethiopia. Methods: The study was a facility-based cross-sectional study design. The respondents were randomly selected in Amhara region, Ethiopia. The data were entered into EPI-INFO version 7.0, cleaned, and analyzed in SPSS version 24. Descriptive statistics were done. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify the factors associated with the utilization of long-acting and permanent family planning methods. Results: The total numbers of respondents were 356. The prevalence of long-acting and permanent family planning methods among current family planning users was 32.3%. The mean age of participants was 30.1±7.67 (SD) years. Almost all (94.4%) were Orthodox Christian followers and most of the respondents (91.0%) married. Nearly half of the respondents (45.2%) were illiterate and above half of the respondents (55.3%) were housewives. The odds of long-acting and permanent family planning methods utilization were statistically significant among women aged 25-34 years [AOR=5.10; 95% CI: (1.48, 17.59)], women who completed secondary education [AOR=4.16; 95% CI: (1.32, 13.10)], women who had a positive attitude [AOR=3.05; 95% CI: (1.45, 6.43)], and women satisfied with facility care [AOR=2.08; 95% CI: (1.01, 4.31)]. Common reasons for low use of long-acting and permanent family planning methods were preference for short-acting contraceptives, fear of side effects, and method misconception. Conclusion: The utilization of long-acting and permanent family planning method was low. Factors and common reasons for low utilization of long-acting and permanent family planning methods among women who were current family planning users were identified. Therefore, we suggest the need to provide continuous education and awareness creation towards long-acting and permanent family planning methods. Unequivocally, enabling work environments, staff service deliveries and client service satisfaction are paramount important improve the coverage.

This study examines the associations between women’s empowerment and family planning use in Jimma Zone, Western Ethiopia. A total of 746 randomly selected married women of reproductive age were interviewed. The data were employed by structural equation modelling (SEM) to investigate the complex and multidimensional pathways to show women’s empowerment domains in family planning utilisation. Results of the study revealed that 72% of married women had used family planning. Younger women, having access to information, having access to health facilities and being aware about family planning methods, living in a rural area, having an older partner and increased household decision-making power were associated with using family planning methods. Women’s empowerment is an important determinant of contraceptive use. Women’s empowerment dimensions included increased household decision-making power, socio-demographic variables and having access to information about family planning and accessible health facilities. These were found to be important determinants of contraceptive use. Future interventions should focus on integrating women’s empowerment into family planning programming, particularly in enhancing women’s autonomy in decision making. Further research is warranted on the socio-cultural context of women that influences women’s empowerment and family planning use to establish an in-depth understanding and equity of women in society.

Background: India with 1.35 billion people is the second most populated country in the world next to China. Total fertility rate of India is 2.2 and the current total fertility rate of Jammu and Kashmir is 1.7 which is still lagging behind various states. This study was conducted to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practices of contraception in women of reproductive age in this set up.Methods: The present cross-sectional study was carried out in patients attending OPD (outpatient department) of Obstetrics and Gynecology at ASCOMS, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, India from 1st September 2017 to 31st August 2018. 200 married women aged between 18-49 years were included in this study. Socio-demographic characteristics of the women, their knowledge, attitude and practices on contraception were evaluated with the help of predesigned questionnaire.Results: Out of 200 women, maximum respondents belong to age group of 21-25 years (75.6%). Most of the contraceptive non-users belongs to age below 20 years (62.5%). Majority of respondents were Hindu (70.37%), maximum studied up to secondary level education (84.61%), 70.30% were housewives and 56.58% belongs to middle class. In 45% of respondents, media was the main source of information. Preferred spacing method was condom in 85% of cases. 68% women had knowledge of female sterilization. According to most women, family planning methods are meant for limitations of birth (43%) and 36% meant for spacing of birth. 80% women had positive attitude towards contraceptive usage. 50% experienced side effects with the use of contraceptives. The most common side effect was menstrual irregularities in 25% of cases. Most common reason for not using contraceptive methods among non-respondents were lack of knowledge in 50% of cases.Conclusions: The study showed that inspite of having good knowledge, utilization of contraceptives were less because of large family norm, religious myth, cultural and political barriers. Ignorance regarding use and side effects of various contraceptive methods is another reason for inadequate practice of family planning methods.
