This provision of family planning fills gaps in terms of Knowledge (limited evidence on overall IPPFP utilization beyond single methods inadequate data on how women\u2019s empowerment, partner involvement and counseling quality jointly influence IPPFP utilization), practice (poor understanding of health facility- and provider-related barriers such as;- counseling practices, staff training, method availability and documentation), Methodologically, the study generates, the current status of IPPFP utilization, and identify the barriers of IPPFP utilization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at public hospitals in Addis, Ababa, from February to March 2025 with a total of 442 study participants.

Collected data were entered into Epi-data version 3.1 and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
