The study aims to assess determinants of the discontinuation of IUCDs among women using family planning in Ilu Aba Bor Zone. Methods A facility-based unmatched case–control study was conducted from September to October, 2021 among 168 (56 cases and 112 controls) IUCD-user women in public health facilities in south-west Ethiopia. Pretested, structured and interviewer administered questionnaires were used for data collection. The data were coded, cleaned and entered to Epi-data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 23 for advanced analysis. A binary logistic regression was used to estimate the degree of association between the outcome variable and independent variables. Finally, variables with a p-value less than 0.05 at 95% confidence interval were declared as statistically significant with outcome variable. Results A total of 168 (163) respondents participated in the study, with a response rate of 97%. The mean (+SD) age of the respondents was 31.36 ± 5.916. Regarding the educational status of respondents about 36 (64.3%) of cases and 90 (84.1%) of controls have formal education, and about 42 (75%) of cases’ husbands and 97 (90.65%) of controls’ husbands have formal education, respectively. Experiencing side effects (AOR = 2.36; 95% CI: 1.01, 5.55), lack of follow up (AOR = 4.069; 95% CI: l.30, 12.69), and planning for next pregnancy (AOR 4.14; 95% CI: 1.58, 10.88) were found to be the main determinants of intrauterine device discontinuation. Conclusion The findings of the study showed that lack of follow-up after insertion of the IUCD, experiencing side effects, and having a plan for the next pregnancy were found to be the main determinants of intrauterine device discontinuation. Hence, arranging recommended regular follow-up and treating side effects are very important to sustain intrauterine device utilization.","PeriodicalId":74348,"journal":{"name":"Open access journal of contraception","volume":"13 1","pages":"39 - 47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44963354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fortunately, clinicians have direct control over their contraceptive counseling practices, and thus reducing structural barriers is actionable through high quality contraceptive counseling that equips patients with the knowledge and guidance they need to fulfill their reproductive desires. Yet, many commonly employed contraceptive counseling strategies, like One Key Question and WHO tiered contraceptive counseling, are not patient-driven, do not account for the important nuances of contraceptive choices, and are not focused specifically on the postpartum period. Given the history of eugenics and reproductive coercion in the US, supporting patient through their contraceptive decision-making process is especially vital. Additionally, contraceptive preferences vary based on patient-level factors and fluctuate over time and counseling should account for such differences. Shared contraceptive decision-making occurs when patients provide input on their values, desires, and preferences and clinicians share medical knowledge and evidence-based information without judgement. This approach is considered the most ethically sound form of counseling, as it maximizes patient autonomy. Shared decision-making also has clinical benefits, including increased patient satisfaction.

The assessment was also forward-looking, asking what aspects of rights-based family planning still need attention moving from 2020 to 2030. Methods This paper draws on interviews with 23 key informants from governments, civil society, and youth focused organizations, implementing partners, and bi-lateral and multilateral organizations from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and North America, all working on family planning and engaged in various roles with the FP2020 partnership at global and national levels, along with documentation of FP2030 partnership plans. The interviews were conducted as part of the assessment and included questions to respondents for their recommendations on rights-based family planning moving towards 2030. Results Respondents agreed that rights should be at the center of the vision for family planning, with attention to rights literacy, accountability and equity, including adolescent and youth leadership. They noted the need for consistent political and financial support, and incorporating rights into result-based financing programming. While respondents noted the need for development and dissemination of practical tools and training materials, along with rights metrics and implementation research, they stressed the importance of focusing work on rights at the country level. Respondents also acknowledged that institutionalizing rights-based family planning will require enhanced commitment and funding from both donors and countries to ensure programming – and success – over the long term. Amplifying civil society and particularly adolescent and youth voices will be key to engaging governments to support both rights-based programming and provide funding. Review of initial planning under FP2030 related to each of the recommendations suggests that the new partnership is seeking to addressing each of them.

However, the results of the study showed that leaders are reluctant to promote the use of FP methods.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Although religious leaders are knowledgeable about family planning, they are still reluctant to promote the use of modern contraceptive methods in their communities. To do so, efforts are needed to sensitise and mobilise them in family planning programmes.
