| dc.description.abstract | Background: Addressing family planning in the postpartum period is crucial for better maternal, neonatal and child survival because it enables women to achieve healthy interval between births. The first year after a woman has given birth is crucial for use of contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Many women, however, do not realize that they are at a risk for pregnancy during this period. Consequently, contraceptive use by women during this period is low, resulting to unintended pregnancies and unwanted childbearing. Objectives: To assess intention and determinants of contraceptive use among postpartum married women in health centers of Adama. Method: A facility based cross sectional study that employed exit interviews with postnatal Clients was conducted in all public health centers, from June –July, 2016 in Adama town. Four Hundred twenty two study subjects were allocated to the institution by proportional based on the Number of deliveries three months prior to the study. Pre tested structured Amharic version questionnaire was used to collect the data through interview. Both bivariate and multiple logistic regressions were used to identify determinant factors. Result: Of 420 postnatal women interviewed 66.2% of them were intention to use contraceptive methods and 45.5% postnatal mothers stated that they have an intention to start after 45 days ofdelivery. However, 43.6% of respondents have negative attitude towards modern contraceptive. Governmental Occupation, Desire for more children, Frequency of ANC visit and discussion with providers after delivery were the main determinants of the intention to use pos tpartumfamily planning among the mothers (AOR of 3.029; 95%CI (1.19, 7.70), AOR of 0.45; 95%CI(0.24, 0.84)), AOR of 0.42; 95%CI (0.20, 0.85) and AOR of 2.98; 95% CI of (1.84, 4.82))respectively. Conclusion and Recommendation: This study has revealed that intention to use contraceptive during post partum period is significantly higher. Family planning programmes should give high priority to the mothers in order to encourage them uptake contraceptives as early as possible during their postpartum period. Likewise, there is need to strengthen policies that promote girls education and opportunity of job. Health professional should discuss about FP after delivery and during consecutive antenatal visit is crucial to improve contraceptive knowledge and empower women to make informed choice | en_US |
