Abstract
Introduction: Contraceptive utilization is a practice that
helps individuals or couples to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Even though
there is widespread availability of contraceptives, induced abortion remains an
alarming public health problem in Ethiopia. There was limited information on
contraceptive use among women seeking induced abortion and associated factors
in the country particularly in the study area.
Objective: This study
aimed to assess the history of contraceptive use and identify associated
factors among women seeking induced abortion in Debre Marko’s town, Ethiopia.
Methods: An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted. The systematic
random sampling technique was used to select a 416 study participants. A
structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data was entered by
EPI-data and analyzed by using SPSS version 23. Bivariate and multivariable
logistic regression analysis was carried out. A p-value ? 0.05 in the multivariable
binary logistic regression was considered as statistically significant. Model
fitness was assured.
Results: The proportion of contraceptive use within the last six months
prior to pregnancy was 41.3% among women seeking induced abortion. Will unmarried
women decrease the odds of contraceptive use by 52% (AOR=0.48; 95% CI: 0.28,
0.83), the odds of contraceptive use among women who had good knowledge about
contraceptives 3.9times (AOR=3.86; 95% CI: 2.40, 6.21) more likely than women
who had poor knowledge about contraceptives and the odds of contraceptive use
among women who had a sexual partner discussion about contraceptive had 2.7
times (AOR= 1.74; 95% CI: 1.05, 2.88)) than their counterpart.
