Background: Immediate Postpartum intra uterine contraceptive device (IPPIUCD) placement within 10minute after delivery is a safe and effective method when provided after comprehensive counseling. Studies on its acceptance and utilization are scarce in study area. This study aims to assess the acceptance and utilization of IPPIUCD.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among mothers delivered in the public health facilities in Hawassa city administration. EPI-Data version 7.2 was used for data entry and STATA 14 for analysis. To measure association a binary logistic regression and multivariable logistic regression model were used. Statistical significance was determined at p value of 0.05 with 95% confidence interval.Result: The mean (± SD) age of study participants was 25 years (±4.5). Acceptance and utilization of immediate post-partum IUCD were 64(16.4%) & 39(10%) respectively. Counseling about IPPIUCD, Attitude, plan to have another child, and birth Interval were associated with acceptance of immediate PPIUCD while husband support for family planning use, delivery time and number of children had significant association with utilization of immediate PPIUCD. Conclusion: The study found a relatively low proportion of acceptor and utilizer of immediate post-partum IUCD in the study area. To improve the acceptance and utilization of immediate PPIUCD among mothers, all stake holders concerned with family planning need to mitigate and promote the challenges and facilitating factors respectively.
Background Immediate postpartum intra-uterine contraceptive device (IPPIUCD) placement within 10 min after the expulsion of the placenta following vaginal delivery is a safe and effective method when provided after comprehensive counseling. Studies on its acceptance and utilization are scarce in the study area. This study aims to assess the acceptance and utilization of IPPIUCD. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1st up to February 31st, 2020, among 392 mothers who delivered at public health facilities in Hawassa city. EPI-Data version 7.2 was used for data entry and STATA 14 for analysis. Data were collected using an interviewer administered structured questionnaire. A binary logistic regression and a multivariable logistic regression model were used to assess association. Statistical significance was determined at a p-value of less than 0.05 with a 95% confidence interval. Results Of the 392 mothers enrolled, 16.3% (95% CI: 12.7–20.0) of them accepted immediate post-partum IUCD. However, only 10% (95%CI: 7.0, 12.9) utilized immediate post-partum IUCD. Counseling about IPPIUCD, Attitude, plan to have another child, and birth intervals were associated with acceptance of immediate PPIUCD while husband support for family planning use, delivery time, and the number of children had a significant association with utilization of immediate PPIUCD. Conclusions The study found a relatively low proportion of acceptors and utilizers of immediate post-partum IUCD in the study area. To improve the acceptance and utilization of immediate PPIUCD among mothers, all stakeholders concerned with family planning need to mitigate and promote the challenges and facilitating factors, respectively.
