Immediate postpartum modern family planning utilization and associated factors among postpartum women in Gurage Zone, Southern Ethiopia 2022: community-based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The period immediately following delivery is crucial for addressing the many requirements women have in terms of reproductive health, including the need for family planning after delivery and for lowering the risks associated with closely spaced pregnancies. However, contraception during the immediate postpartum period has not received enough attention in Ethiopia. Information on the use of modern family planning in the immediate postpartum period is also sparse in this study area. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the level of immediate postpartum modern family planning utilization and associated factors among mothers who had given birth within the past twelve months in Gurage Zone, Southwest Ethiopia.

Methods

The present study was conducted from May 1
