“…In previous studies, researchers identified factors that affect women's autonomy in decision making regarding contraceptive choices at both the individual and community levels such as place of residence [20], age [15,[20][21][22], wealth index [15], women's education [16,[22][23][24] and occupation [15,16,20,24], religion [16], number of living children [20], desired to have children [25], media exposure [19], and visited health facility in the last 12 months [19].…”

Background Women's independence in reproductive health is crucial to the health of mothers and children. Couples are, however, restricted from discussing their relationship openly. Regarding this, information about women’s decision-making autonomy is low in developing countries including Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess married women’s decision-making autonomy on contraceptive use in high fertility regions of Ethiopia. Methods The study was based on secondary data analysis of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016 data. A total weighted sample of 1157 reproductive age women was included. A multilevel mixed-effect binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify the significant associated factors of decision making autonomy on contraceptive use. Statistical significance was determined using Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval. Results Overall prevalence of decision making autonomy on contraceptive use was observed to be 17.2% (15.1, 19.5). Women's age 25–34 (AOR = 3.19; 95% CI:1.55, 6.54), and 35–49 (AOR = 3.59; 95% CI: 1.5, 8.36), secondary and above educational level (AOR = 3.38; 95% CI: 1.07, 10.67), being married before 18 years (AOR = 0.42; 95% CI:0.26, 0.68), being Muslim in religion (AOR = 0.47; 95% CI: 0.23, 0.98), women being in urban area (AOR = 2.73; 95% CI: 1.97, 6.35), and community media exposure (AOR = 1.85; 95% CI: 1.15, 2.48) were associated with decision making autonomy on contraceptive use. Conclusion Women’s decision-making autonomy on contraceptive use in this study was low. Age of mothers, educational status of mothers, age at first marriage, residence, religion, and community media exposure were significant factors. Therefore, the government should promote women’s autonomy on contraceptive use as an essential component of reproductive health rights through mass media, educating, with particular attention for, youth women, and women living in rural settings.

Introduction HIV/AIDS poses a significant health challenge in sub-Saharan African countries, with a disproportionate impact on women of reproductive age. The disparities in knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to family planning among women living with HIV can be intricate and multi-faceted. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice, and associated factors regarding family planning among the women living with HIV at the University of Gondar specialized hospital, Gondar, Ethiopia. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out at the University of Gondar Teaching Referral Hospital, focusing on HIV-positive women of reproductive age who visited the ART unit from July 8–28, 2022. Data collection involved the use of pre-tested, structured questionnaires administered through interviews. The gathered data were entered into the electronic Kobo Collect platform and subsequently exported for analysis using SPSS version 26. Descriptive summaries, including frequencies, means, and percentages, were presented through tables and figures. Logistic regression was employed to identify potential predictors, presenting adjusted odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval and a significance level set at a P-value of 0.05. Results A total of 328 study participants were included. About 93% of the study population had good knowledge about modern contraceptives, and about 94% of the study population had good knowledge about safer conception. Only 30.2% of the study population had knowledge of the dual contraceptive method. The attitude and practice of women towards family planning (FP) were 71.0% and 55.8%, respectively. The study revealed that the most commonly employed contraceptive method was injectable contraceptives, constituting 34.2% of usage. Having one and a greater number of children (AOR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.10, 4.49), having discussions on fertility plans with healthcare providers (AOR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.02, 4.761), and having good family planning practices (AOR = 2.15, 95% CI: 1.19, 3.87) were significantly associated with the attitude toward family planning. Married women (AOR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.11, 3.1), able to read and write (AOR = 2.12, 95% CI:1.04,4.32), college and above educational level (AOR = 4.51, 95% CI:1.93,10.87), had discussion on fertility plan with healthcare providers (AOR = 5.09, 95% CI: 1.96, 13.24), knowledge about dual method (AOR = 1.95, CI: 1.08, 3.50), and knowledge about modern contraceptive methods (AOR = 7.24, 95% CI: 1.56, 33.58) were significantly associated with good practice of family planning. Conclusion Women living with HIV exhibited notably high levels of knowledge regarding modern contraceptive methods and safer conception. The knowledge of the dual method was low. More than half of the study population had good practice in family planning. More than two-thirds of HIV-positive reproductive-age women had a good attitude about family planning. Having one or a greater number of children, having a discussion on a fertility plan with a healthcare provider, and having a good practice of family planning were significantly associated with a good attitude toward family planning. Married women, education status, discussions on fertility plans with healthcare providers, knowledge about dual methods, and knowledge about modern contraceptive methods were significantly associated with good family planning practices. The stakeholders should design interventions based on the aforementioned factors to improve the attitude and practice of family planning.

Background Low use of contraceptives has many consequences. Despite this effect, less emphasis is given to women’s decision-making on family planning use in Ethiopia. Although there are studies conducted in different parts of the country on women’s decision-making regarding family planning use, there are inconsistent findings and a lack of national representative data. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of women’s decision-making regarding family planning use and its determinants in Ethiopia. Methods Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines will be followed to develop the review protocol. All observational studies will be retrieved using Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms or keywords from the online databases PubMed, CINAHL, Google Scholar, African Journal online, and gray literature. The quality of the studies will be critically assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Heterogeneity among studies will be examined using I-squared statistics. Funnel plots and Egger’s test will be used to examine publication bias. The meta-analysis will be performed using STATA version 14 software. Statistical significance will be determined at 95% CI. Discussion Improving women’s autonomy in decision-making on reproductive health services, including contraceptive use, has a substantial advantage. There are studies on women’s decision-making in family planning use; however, there are inconsistent findings. Therefore, this review protocol aims to determine the pooled prevalence of women’s decision-making regarding family planning use and its determinants in Ethiopia. The findings from this systematic review and meta-analysis will help inform policy makers to develop appropriate interventions to improve women’s decision making regarding family planning use.
