| dc.description.abstract | The overall objective of this study was to investigate major factors associated with contraceptive use among married Zay community members. The study involves 179(91 male and 88 female) randomly selected married men and women from two Island settlers, two Kebeles, and two towns where the community settles. Analysis of the data collected was made using quantitative analysis: percentile, Chi-Square, One Way ANOVA, Inter-correlations, and Stepwise regression analysis. Results of the analysis indicated that except sex, all variables (residence, religious attendance, educational level, age at first marriage, age of respondents and number of living children) were significantly associated with contraceptive use. Besides, there is significant difference between contraceptive users and non users on value of children, couples communication, concepts toward contraceptives and perception towards family planning counseling. Furthermore, analysis of the stepwise regression revealed that residential place, couples communication, age of marriage, distance in kilo meter to get the service, and educational level were the most powerful predictors of contraceptive use. Implication of this study is that concerned organizations both governmental and nongovernmental organizations should involve providing contraceptives and related family planning services in community based manner. Besides, expanding education will enhance couples communication and reduce early marriage in the community. | en_US |
