“…A retrospective study in India of 200 DMPA injectable contraceptive users stated that persistent contraceptive use occurred in acceptors who had been effectively counseled (Fonseca et al, 2017a). This proves that the provision of effective education and counseling will increase mother's knowledge about the importance of contraception and can avoid the possibility of non-compliance in obtaining contraceptive services (Ogidi et al, 2019).…”

The 3-month of DMPA injectable contraceptive is one of the contraceptive methods that has decreased in the number of users during the Covid-19 pandemic. Acceptors of 3-month injectable contraceptives who do not comply with visits can reduce effectiveness and increase the risk of pregnancy. This study aims to examine the factors that influence the adherence of 3-month DMPA injection family planning acceptors during the Covid-19 pandemic. This was quantitative research with cross sectional design. The sample used in this study were 125 acceptors of 3-month DMPA injection family planning. Data was obtained by using a questionnaire. The analysis was performed using logistic regression. Based on multivariate analysis, there were 3 factors associated to adherence to DMPA injection repeat visits, namely family planning acceptor occupation　(OR=0.11, 95%CI= 0.04-0.31), knowledge (OR=3.59, 95%CI=1.34-9.58) and husband's support (OR=5.84, 95%CI=2.42-14.08). The most dominant factor was husband's support (OR=6.65, 95%CI=2.51-21.46). Husband's support is the most important factor that is strongly associated to injection repeat visits for DMPA family planning acceptors during the covid 19 pandemic. Good communication between partners is needed to increase DMPA injection repeat visits.

“…A comparable study conducted in Ethiopia found that a desire for more children was a prevalent reason for not using family planning (31). Moreover, a study conducted among Igbo women in Southeast Nigeria identi ed spousal rejection of family planning as the most common reason for nonuse (32). Additionally, previous research has revealed that there is a resistance to family planning in Ghana that is rooted in attitudes, as well as a growing tendency to be wary of potential side effects (33,34).…”

The study investigated the determinants of family planning services uptake among women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years) in the Yendi municipality in the northern region of Ghana. A health facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 396 reproductive-aged women, sampled from 6 randomly selected health facilities in the Yendi municipality. The child welfare clinic (CWC) served as the point for the sampling of study participants. Data was collected with questionnaires adapted from previously validated tools. Data was analysed using SPSS v27 in descriptive and inferential statistics. The desire to control pregnancy was a key factor for wanting family planning (79.3%). Most respondents (80.6%) had high knowledge of family planning services and injectables (37.1%) and condoms (24.7%) were the preferred family planning methods. The desire to control pregnancy was a key factor for wanting family planning (79.3%). The significant sociodemographic determinants of family planning uptake were Religion (Christians (aOR: 7.51; 95%CI: 1.48–38.00:; p = 0.015), traditionalist (aOR: 12.1; 95%CI: 1.90–78.36; p = 0.009)), education (secondary education (aOR: 84.99; 95%CI: 20.02–360.84:; p = 0.000), tertiary education (aOR: 158.74; 95%CI: 33.71–747.52; p = 0.000), and no formal education (aOR: 11.83; 95%CI: 2.10–46.76:; p = 0.000)), Occupation (farmers (aOR: 12.30; 95%CI: 3.21–47.03; p = 0.000)), Marital status (married (aOR: 0.13; 95%CI: 0.03–0.57; p = 0.007)). Factors that made women less likely to use family planning were unfriendly service providers (aOR: 2.33; 95%CI: 1.28–4.21; p = 0.005), fear of side effects (aOR: 2.19; 95%CI: 1.19–4.05; p = 0.012), and lack of knowledge about available FP services aOR: 0.45; 95%CI: 0.26–0.77; p = 0.004). Though the awareness of family planning was found to be high, there are still Sociodemographic and health-related barriers to family planning utilization.
