Abstract

Aim

To examine the prevalence and associated factors of long-acting and permanent methods of family planning (LAPMs) in women of reproductive age.

Background

LAPMs reduce the rate of unwanted pregnancy. Understanding the prevalence and associated factors of LAPMs is the key to preventing unwanted pregnancies.

Methods

In this systematic review and meta-analysis study, data from seven studies involving 1187 women, conducted between 2013 and 2022, were analysed by searching EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, Pubmed, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases. PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed in this study. Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Evaluation tools were used to evaluate the quality of the studies.

Results

The prevalence of LAPMs in women of reproductive age was 27.3%. Women with secondary education or higher, with three or more children, and who do not want to have more children use long-acting and permanent methods more.

Conclusions

Our results can guide the development of strategies to be applied to prevent unintended pregnancies and to increase the use of LAPMs in women of reproductive age.

育龄妇女计划生育长效和长效方法（LAPMs）的流行及其相关因素：一项系统综述和荟萃分析。

目的：了解育龄妇女长效和长效计划生育方法的流行情况及相关因素。背景：LAPMs降低了意外怀孕率。了解LAPMs的患病率及其相关因素是预防意外怀孕的关键。方法：通过检索EBSCOhost、b谷歌Scholar、Pubmed、Science Direct、Scopus、Web of Science和ProQuest数据库，对2013年至2022年间进行的涉及1187名女性的7项研究的数据进行系统回顾和荟萃分析。本研究遵循PRISMA 2020指南。使用乔安娜布里格斯研究所的关键评估工具来评估研究的质量。结果：育龄妇女LAPMs患病率为27.3%。受过中等及以上教育的妇女，有三个或更多的孩子，以及不想要更多孩子的妇女更多地使用长效和永久性的方法。结论：我们的研究结果可以指导制定预防意外怀孕的策略，并增加育龄妇女lapm的使用。

期刊介绍： Policy making and implementation, planning and management are widely recognized as central to effective health systems and services and to better health. Globalization, and the economic circumstances facing groups of countries worldwide, meanwhile present a great challenge for health planning and management. The aim of this quarterly journal is to offer a forum for publications which direct attention to major issues in health policy, planning and management. The intention is to maintain a balance between theory and practice, from a variety of disciplines, fields and perspectives. The Journal is explicitly international and multidisciplinary in scope and appeal: articles about policy, planning and management in countries at various stages of political, social, cultural and economic development are welcomed, as are those directed at the different levels (national, regional, local) of the health sector. Manuscripts are invited from a spectrum of different disciplines e.g., (the social sciences, management and medicine) as long as they advance our knowledge and understanding of the health sector. The Journal is therefore global, and eclectic.
