Implants Contraceptive Utilization and Factors Associated among Married Women in the Reproductive Age Group (18-49 Year) in Southern Ethiopia

Healthcare provider interaction and other predictors of long‐acting reversible contraception adoption among women in Nigeria

“…In particular, being asked about contraception preferences, receiving information about all methods, including LARCs, and devising a follow‐up plan were associated with LARC uptake. The findings are in line with previous studies that have also found that asking about women's individual reproductive goals and keeping women's preferences in mind, counseling by healthcare providers, or simply recommending or telling women about LARC methods can be predictive of LARC adoption. Given the challenges associated with removal of implants, particularly before a 5‐year period, it is not surprising that HCPs’ role in planning follow‐up appointments and returns can ease their mind and facilitate LARC uptake.…”

“…Partner communication is known to play an important role in contraceptive choice . Despite the potential to use LARCs without partner knowledge, joint decision making around family planning was found to be predictive of LARC adoption, while simply discussing family planning in the past 6 months was not significant once joint decision making had been accounted for.…”

“…However, the desire to delay childbirth in general has been identified as a key factor in LARC adoption . Age has also been strongly associated with LARC use, with younger women showing a greater likelihood of using LARCs in some studies, however in other studies, older women were more likely to use them . In addition to individual characteristics, partners play an important role in contraception use in general as well as in LARC adoption specifically.…”

“…In addition to individual characteristics, partners play an important role in contraception use in general as well as in LARC adoption specifically. Joint decision making regarding contraception has been shown to promote the use of LARC, as are prior discussions concerning LARC use with a partner . One study showed that experience of partner violence can reduce the likelihood of IUCD uptake.…”

“…11,12 However, quality of interaction with a healthcare provider (HCP), pre-insertion counseling, discussions, mutual decision making, and the quality of information received during this interaction can be a key factor in uptake and acceptance of LARC methods in particular. 10,[12][13][14][15][16] Patients often consider contraceptive use a medical process where providers are viewed as key information givers and decision makers in the process of selecting methods of contraception. [16][17][18] Choosing a method of contraception is complex and multiple factors may contribute to a woman's decision to use LARCs over STMs.…”
