Abstract
Background: The maternal mortality tragedy is the issue of both developed and developing countries, especially sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. This is known due to poor quality of maternal health care services. So, family planning especially the use of PPIUCD can tackle unintended pregnancy and maternal death. However, intention to use PPIUCD and use of IUCD in general is not well practiced in Ethiopia according to evidences of different literatures. Due to this reason many mothers are exposed to unintended pregnancy and pregnancy related complications. Objective: Assessing Intention to use Post-Partum Intra uterine contraceptive device and Associated Factors among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Clinics in Ambo Town Public Health Institutions, Ethiopia, 2018. Methods: Facility based Cross-Sectional study design, was conducted from March – April, 2018 to assess Intention of Pregnant Women about Post-Partum Intra uterine contraceptive device and associated factors on 422 Pregnant Women.

Logistic regression model was used to predict Intention of Pregnant Women about Post-Partum Intra uterine contraceptive device and associated factors. Lastly, Significant of statistical association was tested using 95% confidence interval (CI) and p value (<0.05). Result. The response rate was 417 (98.3%). This study showed that 145(34.9%) of pregnant women intended to use PPIUCD. Age of pregnant women [AOR= 8.348(CI: 3.602-19.347], educational level [AOR=3.249(1.057-9.985)], occupational status [AOR=4.101(CI: 1.788-9.405)], monthly income [AOR=3.175(CI: 1.423-7.082)] and knowledge [A0R=5.408(2.994-9.767)] have shown significant association with intention to use PPIUCD.
