| Abstract: | Introduction: Evidence suggests a substantial unsatisfied demand for LAPMs in
sub-Saharan Africa. A discrepancy exists between the proportion of women who wish
to stop having children (unsatisfied demand) and the proportion who are using LAPM
(satisfied demand); however, there is limited evidence to show demand for LAPMs
and associated factors in Ethiopia.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess demand for long acting and
permanent contraceptive methods and associated factors among women of age group
18-49 years in Batu town, East shoa Zone, Ethiopia.
Methodology: A facility based cross sectional survey was conducted in six service
delivery points from March to April 2009 on 398 women of age 18-49 in East Shoa
zone Batu town. Quick Investigation of Quality (QIQ) approach with a little
modification was used. By using well-structured questionnaire and comprehensive
checklists client exit interview, observation of client provider interaction and facility
audit were carried out.
Results: Among 398 women of the study participant only 13(3%) were currently
using LAMPs and 89(22.4%) wants no more child in the future, this makes the total
demand to be 24.4%. Some factors in this study were significantly associated with
demand for LAMPs like: Age, number of children (parity), the provider ask about
reproductive intention, and the provider explained side effects of method selected
(p-value <0.05).
Conclusion and Recommendation: The findings of this study demonstrated
that there was a big gap between the satisfied and unsatisfied demand and also the
total demand was higher. In addition to that there were several aspects of socio
demographic and family planning service quality related factors found to be
significantly associated with demand for LAPMs. So that multi dimensional measures
are needed to improve the quality of family planning services, and efforts are needed
to meet the unsatisfied demand. |
