ABSTRACT
Background- implants are a reversible long acting hormonal contraceptive contains progestin
which resemble the natural hormone progesterone in womans body these new contraceptive
implants are small thin flexible plastic rods each about the size of match sticks that release a
progestin hormone, either levenogestrel (jadelle and Sino-implant)or etonogesterel (implanon) in
the body.
Objectives-the objective of this study was to assess factors affecting utilization of implants
contraceptive methods among women in reproductive age group who attending family
planning service in serbo health center jimma, zone, south west Ethiopia.
Methods-Institution based cross sectional study was conducted from March 02/2014-May
02/2014. A total of 371 study subjects were included in study and . convenience sampling
method was employed to select the study participants only those family planning client who
visited this health center during study period The necessary data were collected by using
structured open and closed-ended questioners. The data collection was conducted by
interviewing the clients to get necessary information.The result was presented and summarized
by using tables.
RESULTS- A total of 371 study subjects were interviewed and that gave response rate of
100%.With regard to practice of implant, the overall prevalence of implant was
78 (21.02%). Among them, the majority 60(76.92%) were currently using
implanon followed by jadelle 18 (23.08%).There were no clients who used Sino-
plant. The prevalence of impanon and jadelle users among the total 371 study
clients were (16.2%) and (4.9%) respectively. With regard to attitude towards
implant utilization among study client ,more than two-third of the
respondents wrongly believed that using implant can cause; irregular uterine
bleeding 114 (52.77%),cause pain during insertion and removal 114(52.77% ),
cause infertility 114 (52.77% ),cause low birth weight babies in future
pregnancies 114( 52.77% ), affects breast milk 97 (44.91%),available implants
are effective to prevent pregnancy 114 (52.77%) and cause spontaneous
abortion 114 (52.77%).
CONCLUSION AND RECCOMENDATION: It is evident that the contraceptive
implant was not fairly accepted by this group of family planning clients. furtherstudy should be conducted to produce better evidence focusing on the service
providers, male partners, service delivering institutions and to identify factors
affecting or hindering utilization of implant.

CHAPTER ONE
1. INTRODUCTION1.1 BACK GROUND INFORMATION
Hormonal contraceptive implants are a reversible long acting progestin which resembles the
natural hormonal progesterone in womens body. These new contraceptive implants are small
thin flexible plastic rods each about the size of matchsticks that release a progestin hormone,
either levenogestrel (Jadelle and sine-implant) or etonogesterel (implanon) in the body. It
inserted under the skin of women supper arm by trained professional and, can give continuous
protection for three to five years depending on the number of rods inserted (1).
The most common methods are jadelle, Sino implant (II) and Implanon. Jadelle and Sino
implants have nearly identical physical properties. Both are two-rod systems with active
ingredients of the same amount (75 mg of the progestin Lenovogestrelper rod (150 mg total )
each jadelle rod measures 45mm long by 2.4 mm outside diameter, while each Sino- implants
(II) rod measures 44mm by 2.4mm outside diameter. Implanon is a single rod implant that
contains 68mg of the progestin etonogestreland measures 44mm long by 2.0mm outside diameter
(2).
Regarding mechanism of action, implants work by releasing asmall amount of progestin
hormone steadily into the blood which prevents pregnancy by thickening the cervical mucus that
blocks sperm frommeeting and by preventing ovulation (release of eggs from the ovaries) to
various degrees (3).
According to world health organization, 2007 reports, implants are more than 99.9% effective
when inserted correctly, means that less than one woman in 1000, will get pregnant in the first
year of use. Implanon prevents ovulation in every cycle, throughout almost the entire three years
of its labeled length of use (4).
Studies have revealed that knowledge about hormonal implants vary widely among countries.
Among 42 countries with data from demographic and health surveys the percentage of married
women of reproductive age (15-49) year who had heard of hormonal implants range from as
allowas 2% inChadto 94% in Haiti. In 25 of the 42 countries less than half of the woman
surveyed had heard of implants (5)
Despite surprising technological advancement in modern contraceptive methods, uncontrolledpopulation growth and unintended pregnancy is a worldwide problem that affects women,
therfamilies and the societies as a whole. For example, among pregnant women in Africa and

south east Asia the riskof death during pregnancy and child bearing is up to 200 times higher
than that of women living in industrialized countries (6).
According to Ethiopian demographic and health surveys 2008, report the maternal mortality ratio
for Ethiopian women was 578 deaths per 100,000 live births, which is one of the highest figure
in the world (7). With apopulation of about 77 million in mid-2007, Ethiopia is the second most
populous country in Sub-Saharan Africa; the population is increasing at arate of about 2.5% per
annual, while fertility rate is 5.4 children per women. Apart from the high fertility, the large
variation in fertility between rural and urban areas and between regional states in Ethiopia calls
for attention (8).
Demographic research has shown that socio economic and cultural factors influence fertility
through biological and behavioral mechanisms such as the use of contraception, which has a
direct effect on fertility. But contraceptive use which plays the major role in influencing fertility
is very low in Ethiopia, (20%). In contrary to underutilization of modern contraceptive in the
country many women who want to space or limit child bearing are not able to do so; hence there
is a high unmet need for contraception in the country (9).
Thus, the main objective of this study is to assess married womens attitude, practice and factors
affecting utilization toward hormonal implant among Family planning clients attending Serbo
health center,Jimma, zone south west Ethiopia.

1.2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMIn developing countries maternal mortality is the leading cause of death for women of
reproductive age (1549 years). In some parts of sub Saharan African there are more than 1500
maternal death for every 100,000 live births. While In developed countries such as US this ratio
is 12 deaths per 100,000 live births (10).
According to world health organization(who), 2007 reports, (1) implants are more than 99.9%
effective when inserted correctly, means that less than one woman in 1000,will get pregnant in
the first year of use. Impl anon prevents ovulation in every cycle, throughout almost the entire
three years of its labeled length of use.(2)studies have revealed that knowledge about hormonal
implants very widely among countries, among 42 countries with data from demographic and
health surveys the percentage of married woman of reproductive age(15-49)year who had heard
of hormonal implant range from as allow as 2% in Chad to 94% in Haiti in25 of the countries
less than half of the woman surveyed had heard of implants.(3)according to Ethiopian
demographic and health surveys 2008,report the maternal mortality ratio for Ethiopian woman
was 578 deaths per 100,000 live births, which is one of the highest figure in the world.(4)with a
population of about 77 million in mid-2007,Ethiopia is the second most population country in
sub-Saharan Africa, the population is increasing at a rate of about 2.5% per annual, while fertility
rate is 5.4 children per woman apart from the high fertility the large variation in fertility
between rural and urban areas and between regional state in Ethiopia calls for attention.
In Ethiopia maternal mortality rate estimates /ranges/ between, 500-1,400 per 100,000 live births.
One out of seven in Ethiopia dies due to pregnancy and related causeswith more than 50%
resulting from unsafe abortion, thus making Ethiopian women at reproductive risk. Addressing
family planning to unmet need in Ethiopia is expected to avert 12, 782 maternal mortality, and
more than 1.1 million child deaths by the target date of 2015. Contraception plays a key role in
decreasing maternal mortality. They provide significant protection for women by preventing
unintended pregnancies, which often end in unsafe abortion (11).
Although, over the last two decades, Ethiopia has made great progress in increasing awareness
and knowledge of family planning; with more than 85% of currently married Ethiopia women
now know at least one contraceptive method. The contraceptive prevalence rate among married
women is only 15% and that of Oromia is (13.6%) which is farbelow the nation goal of the
Ethiopia population policy to be attained by the year 2015, (44%) (9). And almost all of these
users are using modern methodwith injectable and oral pills being the main method used. The
population policy which was adopted in 1993 has the objective of reducing the total fertility rate;
as well as raising the contraceptive prevalence to a national coverage of 44% by the year 2015. It
8/12/2019 teferi resalt

11
was focused on expanding the services to previously uncovered areas and by increasing the
number of health institutions and other outlets (12).
However, most previous studies in Ethiopia have shown that there is wide gap between
knowledge and use of modern contraception in Ethiopia meaning that knowledge about modern
contraception is relatively high when compared with utilization rate. On the other hand, although
all modern methods which provide wide range of protection from durations of as short as days to
permanent protection such as voluntary surgical sterilization, implants and IUDS are available in
the country, utilization is limited very much to the shorter term method (6).
Therefore, the major concern is which factors are contributing to the observed underutilization of
hormonal implants even if the couples desire to limit or space child bearing is high and which
strategies can best bring about changes to the current situation. Many factors may contribute to
this situation.However, this study focuses on socio- demographic factors, users attitude and
practices and barriers or factors affecting of utilizing the method. Hence, the main objective of
this study is to assess attitude, practice andfactors affecting utilization of implant contraception a
mongsfamily planning clients who attendedSerbohealth center,Jimma zone, south west
Ethiopia,2014.

1.3. SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
Since, family planning program welfare is very important to stabilize uncontrolled populationgrowth and, is one of the Millenniums development goals(MDGs), which is impossible without
effective contraception. Thus, this study is useful by identifying level of attitude practice and
barriers of implantable contraceptive service utilization for health planners and policy makers of
the town. In considering those factors to ensure better demographic outcome and family size,
this study has paramount importance to do comment on the coverage and level of implant
utilization: To contribute barriers that refrain family planning clients in the study area from
utilizing implants in Serbo health center. It is hoped to be used as a secondary source of
information for further study in the area and for community health workers in the future as a
reference material for another study.
The study also expected to suggest all possible options to reduce barrier of implant utilization
among family planning clients attending. Serbohealthcenter,Jimmazone, south west Ethiopia.

CHAPTER TWO
2.1. LITERATURE REVIEW
There is greater unmet need for contraception among women who wish to be engaged in birth
spacing than women who wish to limit births. Demographic and health surveys data from 17
developing countries revealed that amongreproductive age women between 15 and 49 year old.
Demand for birth spacing was the most significant reason women gave to explain their demand
for family planning. Demand for birth spacing existed even among young women who wanted to
post pone their first birth (15).
Studies have shown that barrier to postpartum contraceptive use include; Husbands refusal, cost,
lack of access to contraception and education about family planning, religious oppositions and
cultural norms. Denial of contraceptive service to non-menstruating women presents an
additional barrierto contraceptive use (16).
Hormone releasing sub dermal implants, which are inserted under the skin of womens upper
arm, are safe, acceptable, effective and reversible form of contraception. Implants prevent
pregnancy for an extended period. After asingle administration no regular action by the users and
no routine clinical follow up are required (16). The most common types include implanon ( one
rod-system effective for three years), Jadelle (Two rods system effective for five years)and sins
implant (II)(two rods, system effective for four years (5). Furthermore, contraceptive implants
are highly effective comparably ineffectiveness of intrauterine, devices,female sterilizations and
vasectomy and there is immediate return of fertility after their removal (13).
Studies revealed that like, Norplant the new implants are highly effective and like, Norplant they
alter bleeding patterns. Their most improvement over Norplant is easier and quicker insertion
and removal. The main side effects of implant contraception also remain the same as those
reported by users of Depo-Proverainjectable related to disturbances in menstrual patterns.
Implants are more convenient needing replacement only after 3-5 years and prompt return of
fertility at any time after implant removal is another advantage over injectable long- acting (17).
Compared to non-users,users of implants could have reduced risk of ectopic pregnancies and
pelvic inflammatory diseases in some women, implants might help alleviate iron deficiency
anemia through reduced menstrual bleeding. Implanon might also help with dysmenorrheal and
can help treat symptomatic endometriosis (2).

Studies in multiple countries of women using implants have indicated, perception of implants
among users are favorable and that acceptance is high. Women who use implants have identified
ease of use and high effectiveness as the most desirable features. The majority of users reported
that difficulty or dissatisfaction with other method of contraception was a primary reason for
choosing implants. With most women reporting;previous use of three or more methods of birth
control. These women also considered convenience and ease of use is highly important in their
decision to use implants, even though use of the device required a minor surgical procedure for
insertion and removal (18).
Although, many women discontinue implant because of they want to become pregnant, side
effects are the primary reasons for early removal in most studies. Irregular or prolonged uterine
bleeding is by far the most common reason cited for early removal of implants (17). Others
reasons include headache, mood swings, weight gain, depression or nervous, acne, abdominal or
general discomfortand arm pain (13). In addition to the above facts, some women report
concerns and fear of pain with implant insertion and removal and problem of confidentiality due
to the potential visibility of implants (18). And also myths and misconceptions about implants
are common in some parts of the world and affect the acceptability of the method. Contrary to
common myths and misconceptions implants; dont cause cancer, permanent sterility,
spontaneous abortion, low birth weight babies in future pregnancies or negatively affect breast
milk. They also do not make user thin,cause death, or result in arm loss (19). The only condition
for which WHO recommended that implants shouldnt be used is current breast cancer (20).
Evidences indicate that many contraceptive methods produce changes in the menstrual cycle.
However such menstrual changes may vary across individuals, methods and duration of use,
complicating providers task of adequately counseling clients.For example, IUDs have been
associated with increased menstrual bleeding and cramping. In contrast the implant and the
injectable can cause irregularity in the menstrual cycle including extended periods of high
bleeding or temporary amenorrhea. They may also increase bleeding and whereas users of the
injectable become more likely to miss periods over time, implant users become less likely to
doso (21). Users attitude about side effects are strongly influenced by the quality of Information
and counseling provided. Evidences show that through pre-insertion counseling reduce theirearly discontinuation of the method providers should address notonly menstrual
disturbancebutalso, the possibility of infection at the insertion site the fact that implan ts dont
protect against HIV or STDIs, and other contraceptive options (21)

In general, researches have stated that, women who are satisfied with their choice of
contraceptive method continued using their method longer than women who are not satisfied
with their method. Implants also have the highest continuation rate among users of reversible
contraceptive methods even after taking into account parity, age and fertility intentions (22). In
clinical trial between (85% to 99%)of women using implants continue to use the method for at
least 3 years and 40% to 76% continue using the methods for at least 5 years (23). Yet, there are
marked differences in continuation rates based on geographical areas with higher continuation
rate in studies conducted in developing countries compared with studies conducted in developed
countries (24).
On the other hand,finding from a national impact survey on obstacles to contraceptive use in
Pakistani revealed that a large proportion of women in the reproductive age group expressed a
desire to terminate child bearing but, were not using any method of contraception. The primary
reason claimed by the respondents for contraception nonuse among apparently motivated women
were the perception that family planning is unacceptable by religious groups, fear of side effects
on health, opposition from husbands and the limited availability of family planning services were
some of the reasons claimed by the respondents (25).
Similar study from a qualitative finding in Senegal suggest that womans fertility intention might
influence their willingness to tolerate the contraceptive side effects Among long term
contraceptive users in Bolivia those with four or more children in addition women who believed
that menstruation was important to maintain good health were more likely than others todiscontinue the methods (26)
In Ethiopia, the result of the survey done in Gondertownand the surrounding peasant association
revealed that the overall modern contraceptive prevalence rate was 28.6% (35.6% for urban and
11.00 for the rural areas the most important reasongiven by 53.4% of the female respondents for
not using modern contraceptive was theneed for more children. The same factor was mentioned
by 34.4% of the female ever use reported to have discontinued taking contraceptive for different
reasons. The main one being the need to have more children about 19% of the female
respondents reported that the sexual abstinence was the reason for not using
moderncontraceptive (27).
The same finding from study conducted in Dembia district has shown that the current
contraceptive prevalence rate in KollaDiba town was (22.5%) and are currently using modern
8/12/2019 teferi resalt
16/44
16
contraceptive. A (46.6%) of whom, who had ever used implant discontinued taking,due to side
effects and to have more children (28).And also, community based study done in rural areas of
Jimma showed that current contraceptive prevalence rate of 7% among married women was
reported of which 65% had used pills, injectable (4.4%) and rhythm (23%) the reason given for
contraceptive nonuse was not known how to use, need for more children unavailability of a
contraceptive, fear of side effects, believed to go with nutritious food are some of the reasons
mentioned (29).
Yet, by focusing on clinical measures of bleeding or side effects or by limiting the study to a
single contraceptive method this study do little to explain the context in which menstrual side
effects leads to discontinuation of the method .Previous researches have shown that the fertility
intention of women are influenced by various demographic, socio economic and program factors
but there has been afew examination of the factors influencing variation in the use of modern
methods, like, implant contraceptive and womens attitude, practices and satisfaction in this
particular area. Hence, the main objective of this study is to assess the womens attitude and
experiences and factors affecting utilization of implants. This will help policy and decision
makers to implement program tailored to woman need concerning implants method use. The
study will also help as base line data for further study to be conducted and to make possible
recommendation.

than 60% to the positively stated attitude question in favor of implant method.
Contraceptive Implants: Are hormone releasing sub dermal implant which inserted under
skin,of womens upper arm.
Unintended Pregnancy: Is a pregnancy which occurs before having a plan to have a baby.
Unmet Need: Is the discrepancy between womens stated reproductive preference and their use
of contraception.
Need for Spacing: Is when women say they want to wait at least 2 years before having other
child.
Need for limiting: Is when they say they want to wait no more children.
Practice: Is previous and current Utilization of any available implant contraceptive method
.Good Practice: If the client answers greater than or equal to 60% implant questions correctly
she will be considered having good practices.

CHAPTER SIX
6. DISCUSSION
An estimated358, 000 maternal deaths occurred worldwide in 2008, a 34%
decline from the levels of 1990. Despite this decline, developing countries
continued to account for the 99 % (355,000) of the deaths. Sub-Saharan Africa
and South Asia account for 89% (313,000) of global maternal deaths.
Fortunately, the vast majority of maternal newborn deaths can be prevented
with proven interventions to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted using
modern contraceptive and everybody is safe(10).
According to this study, the result showed that implant contraception
utilization among study participants in the study area was 21.02%. This isrelatively higher comparing with other studies conducted in three different
areas in Ethiopia which account (12%) for Mekele, (17%) for Jinka and (5%) for
ButaJira (26, 27).This might be due to the difference in the nature of study
area and access to information .The study was conducted in Serbo town,
Jimma zone where there is relatively good access to the health facilities. Jimma
towns community may have awareness of various health related issues due to
repeated awareness creation sessions by students of Jimma University over the
years through community based education.
However, despite cited prevalence of implant contraceptive utilization observedamong study subjects, large proportion (79.98%) of the study participants
contraception was depended on short acting method .The main reasons cited
for non-use was; using other methods of contraceptive, fear of procedure, fear
of developing side effects and non-availability which is similar with findings of
community based study done in rural areas of Jimma by Kaba M. (6, 29). There
was a significant association between poor practice of implant and socio-
demographic variables like educational status and marital status. The possible
reason why non-users were illiterate, those who had below 2 children, above 4
children and farmers was that illiterate women do not know the benefit ofimplant contraceptive. While those who were farmer and may have a fear of
side effects and lack of information. Similar finding was reported by other
researchers (25).

Unlike the high prevalence of request for reinsertion of implant after 3 to 5
years of use, in other developing countries like Singapore (53%), this results
show almost zero rate. In connection to this the degree of satisfaction was very
high (77%). The main reasons mentioned for switching to implant contraceptive
among those Singaporean were contraception failure (11%) and experienced
side effects with other method of contraceptives (36%), (18). The possible
reasons for this differences might be due to the fact that in this study large
number of study subjects (74.54%) had negative attitudes towards the method
and misconceptions about its side effects for instant, they were believed that
implant delays pregnancy, insertion and removal of implant is painful, it
causes spontaneous abortion, and also it might be due to the nature of the
study area and access of information. Conversely, the findings were relatively
higher compared with finding from Jinka and EDHS, 2005reports (8, 26, and
27). This might be due to the difference in the study areas, access to the
information and the services. The main reason perceived for not practicing
implant was the use of other methods of contraceptives, fear of side effects, and
non-availability of service at the time of need and husbands disapproval which
is supported by reports from Pakistan (25).
Although statistically not significant, clients with positive attitude towards
implant and those who had good practice had the highest intention to useimplant contraception which is supported by another study that showed that
positive attitude of women to contraceptive was an important factors for
promoting use of long acting contraceptive (24).
The main source of information to use implant among family planning clients
in study area was community health workers which means most of study
participants had discussion with their health workers. Comparing with other
studies this result is consistent with findings from Butajira and Jinka (2

CHAPTER SEVEN7. CONCLUSION AND RECCOMENDATION
7.1. ConclusionIt is evident that the contraceptive implant was not fairly accepted by
this group of family planning clients.
The majority of the women possessed misconception and rumors about
the method in that they believe that using implant causes spontaneous
abortion, causes infertility, because low birth weight babies in future
pregnancy and they agreed that insertion and removal of the method
causes pain.
The main reasons cited for discontinuation and nonuse were irregular
bleeding and the use of other methods contraceptive
The majority of the study subjects have negative attitude towards
practicing implant.
Study subjects who were non users of implant service were likely to be
illiterate, those who had below two children and above four and those
who were farmers who had poor understanding about the benefits and
effectiveness of the method and those who were disapproved by their
husband.
Negative attitude towards utilization of implant, clients who had two and
below children and clients educational and occupational status were
significantly associated.

7.2. RecommendationsThe findings have implications for family planning programs to increase
contraceptive use for those specifically on implant. As to this finding, it
indicated that utilization of implant contraception is in adequate .To bring a
measurable impact based on these findings the following measure of
interventions are worth recommending.
1) Adequate counseling, early warning on possible side effects, and followup with an experienced health workers to manage any side effects that
arise are an important to achieve optional contraception.
2)Clients awareness on implant contraceptive service is to be improvedthrough health education communication and integration with health
workers
3) Health workers effectiveness and efficiency with in health facility isrecommended to improve misconceptions toward the method.
4) Refresher course for health workers regarding implant contraceptionshould be given regularly regarding reproductive issues
5) Client counseling particularly about side effects of the method has to begiven regularly.
In general adequate implant service utilization can be achieved throughan integrated effort with active involvement of the community and
collaboration of different sectors such as local NGOs working on
reproductive health and stake holders in the area.
Furthermore, further study should be conducted to produce better evidence
focusing on the service providers, male partners, service delivering institutions
