“…Women whose menses was returned after last delivery were 2.8 times more likely to use postpartum contraceptive than those who haven't seen menses. This finding is also supported by other studies done in Ethiopia Debre Birhan town, Gondar town, Aroressa District Southern Ethiopia [13,18,26] and…”

“…Postpartum contraceptive use in this study was higher than other studies conducted in Ethiopia like Gondar (45.8%) [13],Dabat (10.3) [17], Debre Berhan (41.6%) [18], Aksum (48%) [14], Gida Ayana district Oromia region (45.4%) [19] and EDHS 2016(23%) [20]. The difference could be due to the time gap of studies, study participant, socio-demographic and reproductive characteristics variation.…”

“…Any score greater or equal to the mean score was defined as a high score and hence labeled as "good knowledge" for knowledge variable while it was labeled as "favorable attitude" for attitude variable. Any score which is less than the mean score was defined as low score and hence labeled as "poor knowledge" and "unfavorable attitude" for knowledge and attitude variables respectively [13,15].…”

Background: The postpartum period is an important entry point for family planning service providers to reduce unintended and too closely spaced pregnancy. A postpartum modern contraceptive service is one of the recommended public health interventions for reducing maternal and child morbidity and mortalities. However, In Ethiopia modern contraceptive use during the postpartum period is low; resulting in unintended pregnancies and unwanted childbearing . there for this study was done to assess utilization and associated factors of modern contraceptives during the postpartum period among women who gave birth in the last 12 months in Injibara Town Awi Zone, North-Western Ethiopia. Methods: A Community based cross-sectional study design was conducted from March 01 to 15/2019 on 400 women who gave birth in the last 12 months preceding the survey. A simple random sampling technique was used to recruit study subjects. Data was collected using interviewer-administered pretested and structured questionnaires. Data were entered using Epi data 3.5 and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. The association between variables was analyzed using Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models and p-value < 0.05 at 95% Confidence interval was considered as statistically significant. Result: The prevalence of modern contraceptive utilization was 58.5% (95% CI: 53.5- 63%) among postpartum mothers. Secondary school and higher educational levels [AOR= 5.02; 95% CI (1.53-16.47)],[AOR= 4.25; 95% CI:(1.32-13.64) respectively)], previous history of abortion [AOR= 3.93; 95%, CI: (1.43-10.84)], having three and four antenatal care visit [AOR= 4.74; 95%, CI: (1.94-11.54)] [AOR= 5.9; 95%, CI: (2.42-14.39) respectively], family planning counselling during antenatal care [AOR=2.81; 95% ,CI: (1.63- 4.86)], having postnatal care [AOR =1.79, 95%, CI: (1.09-2.96)], menses returning after birth [AOR=2.84, 95% CI: (1.77- 4.57)] and resuming sexual activity [AOR= 2.86, 95% CI: (1.71-4.78)] were factors affecting contraceptive use in postpartum period. Conclusion : The prevalence of modern contraceptive use among postpartum women was found to be high in Injibara town. Therefore, strengthen family planning counseling during antenatal care and postnatal care to reduce the missed opportunity of postpartum women to get family planning methods, especially long-acting reversible contraceptives.

Background and AimsEast African countries have high rates of maternal and child mortality and morbidity. Studies have shown that the involvement of male partners in reproductive health can benefit maternal and child health (MCH). This scoping review aims to provide an overview of the evidence across East Africa that describes male partner involvement and its effect on maternal, reproductive, and child well‐being.MethodsTen databases were searched to identify quantitative data on male's involvement in East Africa. Studies reporting qualitative data, “intention to use” data or only reporting on male partner's education or economic status were excluded. Studies were organized into five a priori categories: antenatal care (ANC), human immunodeficiency virus, breastfeeding, family planning, and intimate partner violence with further categories developed based on studies included.ResultsA total of 2787 records were identified; 644 full texts were reviewed, and 96 studies were included in this review. Data were reported on 118,967 mothers/pregnant women and 15,361 male partners. Most of the studies (n = 83) were reported from four countries Ethiopia (n = 49), Kenya (n = 14), Tanzania (n = 12) and Uganda (n = 10). The evidence indicates that male partner involvement and support is associated with improved reproductive, MCH across a wide range of outcomes. However, the studies were heterogeneous, using diverse exposure and outcome measures. Also, male partners' lack of practical and emotional support, and engagement in violent behaviors towards partners, were associated with profound negative impacts on MCH and well‐being.ConclusionsThe body of evidence, although heterogeneous, provides compelling support for male involvement in reproductive health programs designed to support MCH. To advance research in this field, an agreement is needed on a measure of male partner “involvement.” To optimize benefits of male partners' involvement, developing core outcome sets and regional coordination are recommended.
