Abstract

Introduction: Family planning is among the best suggested strategies to decrease the high maternal mortality and morbidity prevailing among pastoral communities. Despite this fact, there is no sufficient information regarding the unmet need for family planning in the study area. Therefore, this study was intended to assess the prevalence of unmet need for family planning and its associated factors among currently married women residing in pastoralist community of West Omo zone, Ethiopia.

Methods: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 01 January to 01 April 2021 in West Omo zone. Five-hundred-sixty currently married women aged 15-49 were interviewed, and the study participants were randomly selected by employing a modified random walk approach. Data were checked manually for completeness and consistency, then entered into Epidata 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 22 for analysis. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to identify the associated factors, and Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) at 95% CI with p-value < 0.05 was considered as significant variables.

Result: A total of 560 currently married women agreed to participate in this study making a response rate of 93.17%. Two hundred three, that is, about 36.3% (95% CI: 32.1, 40.2%) currently married women had an unmet need for family planning, with 119 (58.6%) wishing to delay childbirth and 84 (41.4%) seeking to limit. Have no formal education (AOR = 2.86 (95% CI: 1.61, 5.10)), having poor knowledge of family planning (AOR = 2.83 (95% CI: 1.45, 5.54)), and lack of husband support of family planning (AOR = 2.38 (95% CI: 1.22, 4.67)) are positively associated with unmet need for family planning.

Conclusion: The magnitude of unmet need for family planning in this study is fairly high as compared to previous studies done among non-pastoral community. Hence, it's important to consider the above identified factors while designing effective public health intervention.

埃塞俄比亚西奥莫区牧民社区未满足的计划生育需求:一项基于社区的横断面研究。
导言:计划生育是降低牧区产妇死亡率和发病率的最佳战略之一。尽管如此,有关研究地区未得到满足的计划生育需求的信息并不充分。因此,本研究旨在评估目前居住在埃塞俄比亚西奥莫区牧民社区的已婚妇女未满足计划生育需求的普遍程度及其相关因素:方法:2021 年 1 月 1 日至 4 月 1 日,在西奥莫区开展了基于社区的横断面研究。研究人员采用改良的随机行走法随机抽取了五百六十名年龄在 15-49 岁之间的已婚妇女。人工检查数据的完整性和一致性,然后输入 Epidata 3.1,并导出到 SPSS 22 版进行分析。使用多变量二元逻辑回归来确定相关因素,并以 95% CI 进行调整后比值比(AOR)和 p 值结果:共有 560 名已婚妇女同意参与本研究,回复率为 93.17%。有 233 名(即约 36.3%,95% CI:32.1,40.2%)已婚妇女的计划生育需求未得到满足,其中 119 人(58.6%)希望推迟生育,84 人(41.4%)希望限制生育。没有接受过正规教育(AOR = 2.86 (95% CI: 1.61, 5.10))、对计划生育知之甚少(AOR = 2.83 (95% CI: 1.45, 5.54))和缺乏丈夫对计划生育的支持(AOR = 2.38 (95% CI: 1.22, 4.67))与未满足的计划生育需求呈正相关:与以往在非牧区进行的研究相比,本研究中未满足的计划生育需求的程度相当高。因此,在设计有效的公共卫生干预措施时,必须考虑上述确定的因素。
