| dc.description.abstract | Background: - The first 12 month following delivery are known as the extended postpartum period, which is effective way for lowering maternal and child morbidity and mortality by preventing unplanned pregnancy and maximizing the birth space. The most effective method of birth control for preventing unwanted pregnancy during postpartum period is long-acting reversible contraceptive. Despite the efforts to increase the use of modern contraceptives, particularly long-acting reversible contraception in extended postpartum period has still low uptake in Ethiopia. Objective: - The objective of this study was to assess utilization of long-acting reversible contraceptive among women in extended postpartum period in Debre-Libanos district of North Shewa zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia. Methods: - A community based cross sectional study was caried out in Debre-Libanos district, North show zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia. A total sample size of this study was determined to be 587. Simple random sampling technique was used to select study participant. Data were collected from study participants using structured questionnaires then the data were entered in EPI data and exported to SPSS 25 version. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression statistical modeling were used to identify associated factors. In bivariate logistic regression those variables with p-value less than 0.20 were the candidate for multivariate logistic regression. Association between dependent and independent variables were assessed and its strength, direction and significance were presented using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Result: - This study revealed that 29.5% of mothers used LARC in extended postpartum period. The odds of using LARC methods were higher among mothers who completed secondary education and higher (AOR=5.801; 95%CI: 2.856- 11.783) compared to uneducated mothers, employed mothers (AOR=6.047; 95%CI: 3.149-11.612) compared to house wife, previous use of LARC (AOR=6.994; 95%CI: 4.303-11.367) compared to mothers who did not use previously, attended PNC services (AOR=2.347; 95%CI: 1.294-4.257) compared to mothers who did not attended, and discussed with husband about LARC (AOR=3.057; 95%CI: 1.876- 4.98) compared to mothers who hadn’t discussed were positively associated with use of LARC. Conclusion: - The prevalence of LARC use was low. Educational status of mother who completed secondary and above, employed mothers, discussion with husband, previous use of LARC, and PNC services attendance after last birth were associated with use of long-acting reversible contraception. We recommended that Debre-Libanose district should strengthening the existing health care services which is provided to mothers during extended postpartum period. | |
