However, only one half of Kenyan women, who have no desire to conceive immediately after birth, are using contraception one year after delivery.\u00a0Aim:\u00a0The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of uptake of post-partum family planning (PPFP).\u00a0Setting:\u00a0The study was conducted among post-partum women accompanying their children for their first measles vaccination at Webuye County Hospital (WCH), in western Kenya.\u00a0Methods:\u00a0This was a cross-sectional study involving 259 randomly sampled post-partum women, accompanying their children for their first measles vaccination. A structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Logistic regression was used to identify correlates of PPFP uptake.\u00a0Results:\u00a0The uptake of PPFP among women at 9 months post-partum at WCH was found to be 78.4% \u00b1 5.0%. The odds of PPFP uptake among women living with their sexual partners was 88.2% less than among those not living with their partners with the true population effect between 97% and 51% (OR = 0.118; 95% CI: 0.028\u20130.494;\u00a0p\u00a0= 0.003).\u00a0Conclusions:\u00a0Not living with her sexual partner in the same house is the key predictor of a woman\u2019s PPFP uptake in WCH. This study recommends that any programme aimed at improving post-partum contraceptive use in WCH should target women who live with their partners in the same house.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/phcfm.v10i1.1567","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,22]],"date-time":"2018-06-22T03:44:33Z","timestamp":1529639073000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Predictors of post-partum family planning uptake in Webuye Hospital, western Kenya"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3659-7227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henry O.","family":"Owuor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7203-3678","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick M.","family":"Chege","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2198-6414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeremiah","family":"Laktabai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2007.01338.x"},{"key":"ref0002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2004.10.593"},{"key":"ref0003","first-page":"41","author":"Rutstein","year":"2008","journal-title":"Further evidence of the effects of preceding birth intervals on neonatal, infant and under-five-years mortality and nutritional status in developing countries: Evidence from the demographic and health surveys"},{"key":"ref0004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(06)69480-4"},{"journal-title":"Family planning: A health and development issue, a key intervention for the survival of women and children [homepage on the Internet]","year":"2012","author":"World Health Organization","key":"ref0005"},{"journal-title":"Programming strategies for postpartum family planning [homepage on the Internet]","year":"2013","author":"World Health Organization","key":"ref0006"},{"key":"ref0007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/heapol\/czt022"},{"journal-title":"Adding it up: Costs and benefits of contraceptive services \u2013 Estimates for 2012 [homepage on the Internet]","year":"2012","author":"Singh","key":"ref0008"},{"key":"ref0009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2673801"},{"journal-title":"Postpartum fertility and contraception: An analysis of findings from 17 countries [homepage on the Internet]","year":"2010","author":"Borda","key":"ref0010"},{"key":"ref0011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1742-4755-12-S2-S11"},{"journal-title":"Kenya Demographic and Health Survey 2014 [homepage on the Internet]","year":"2015","author":"Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Health\/Kenya, National AIDS Control Council\/Kenya, Kenya Medical Research Institute, and National Council for Population and Development\/Kenya","key":"ref0012"},{"issue":"4","key":"ref0013","first-page":"122","volume":"3","author":"Idowu","year":"2015","journal-title":"Am J Public Health Res"},{"journal-title":"Predictors of post-abortion family planning uptake in the New Juaben Municipality, Ghana","year":"2014","author":"Abrah","key":"ref0014"},{"key":"ref0015","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1742-4755-8-37"},{"journal-title":"Influence of use of maternal health care on postpartum contraception in Nigeria","year":"2013","author":"Akinlo","key":"ref0016"},{"journal-title":"Maternal, infant and young child nutrition and family planning (MIYCN-FP) integration toolkit","year":"2015","author":"K4Health","key":"ref0017"},{"key":"ref0018","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pec.2010.07.018"},{"key":"ref0019","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11564\/28-0-553"},{"key":"ref0020","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-13-523"},{"issue":"4","key":"ref0021","first-page":"24","volume":"15","author":"Adugnaw","year":"2011","journal-title":"Afr J Reprod Health"},{"key":"ref0022","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1505-5-18"},{"key":"ref0023","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11113-009-9151-8"},{"key":"ref0024","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2003.11.035"},{"key":"ref0025","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13031-015-0050-9"},{"key":"ref0026","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11604\/pamj.2015.21.138.7026"},{"key":"ref0027","first-page":"10","volume":"8","author":"Hounton","year":"2015","journal-title":"Glob Health Action"},{"key":"ref0028","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10995-010-0738-9"}],"container-title":["African Journal of Primary Health Care &amp;
