Abstract

Background: Despite improvement in the availability and use of reversible long-acting contraception, discontinuation is becoming a public health concern. A significant proportion of women discontinuing the service before its due date, which is of concern in the health system with regard to its consequences, may lead to a program failure. In addition, there is a paucity of information on discontinuation of reversible long-acting contraceptives and associated factors in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess discontinuation of reversible long-acting contraceptives and associated factors among female users in health facilities of Hawassa city, southern Ethiopia, 2019.

Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional design was used. Systematic sampling was used to select study participants. Women who were users of long-acting contraceptives and had come to selected health facilities for method-related reasons were included in the study. Data collectors approached and recruited participants before they contacted their care providers. Data were collected from study subjects using a pretested, structured questionnaire through face-to-face interviews after participants had contacted care providers. Results are presented using the crude and adjusted ORs with corresponding 95% CIs.

Results: The overall proportion of reversible long-acting contraceptive discontinuation was 56.6% (95% CI 52.30%, 61.10%). Maternal education at primary level (AOR 2.33, 95% CI 1.15-4.74), lack of counseling (AOR 2.50, 95% CI 1.01-6.18), side effects (AOR 2.10, 95% CI 1.31-3.34), and desire to be pregnant (AOR 2.22; 95CI 1.50-3.30) were the major factors in discontinuation.

Conclusion: In this study, the overall proportion of discontinuation of reversible long-acting contraceptives was high. Maternal education at primary level, lack of counseling, side effects, and desire to be pregnant were the key factors associated with discontinuation of the contraceptives. Health professionals should provide counseling on the side effects before insertion.

埃塞俄比亚南部阿瓦萨市卫生机构女性使用者停用可逆长效避孕药及其相关因素:横断面研究
背景:尽管可逆长效避孕的可得性和使用有所改善,但停药正在成为一个公共卫生问题。相当大比例的妇女在预产期之前停止服务,这是卫生系统对其后果的关切,可能导致方案失败。此外,在研究地区,关于可逆长效避孕药具的停药和相关因素的资料也很缺乏。因此,本研究旨在评估2019年埃塞俄比亚南部阿瓦萨市卫生机构女性使用者中可逆长效避孕药的停药情况及其相关因素。方法:采用基于机构的横断面设计。采用系统抽样方法选择研究对象。使用长效避孕药具并因与避孕方法有关的原因到选定的保健机构就诊的妇女被纳入研究。数据收集人员在参与者联系他们的护理提供者之前接触并招募参与者。在参与者联系护理提供者后,通过面对面访谈,使用预先测试的结构化问卷从研究对象中收集数据。结果采用粗or和调整后的or,相应的ci为95%。结果:可逆长效避孕药停药的总比例为56.6% (95% CI为52.30%,61.10%)。母亲小学教育水平(AOR 2.33, 95% CI 1.15-4.74),缺乏咨询(AOR 2.50, 95% CI 1.01-6.18),副作用(AOR 2.10, 95% CI 1.31-3.34),以及渴望怀孕(AOR 2.22;95CI 1.50-3.30)是导致停药的主要因素。结论:在本研究中,停用可逆长效避孕药的总体比例较高。产妇接受初级教育、缺乏咨询、副作用和渴望怀孕是导致停止使用避孕药的关键因素。健康专业人员应在插入前就副作用提供咨询。
