Multiparous women are supposed to be able to end their reproductive cycle to decrease population growth. This study aimed to analyze barriers for multiparous women to use long-term contraceptive methods (LTCM) in the Philippines and Indonesia.
The study population was women aged 15-49 years old who have given birth to a live baby > 1 in the Philippines and Indonesia. The weighted sample size was 12,085 Philippines women and 25,543 Indonesian women. To identify variables associated with the use of LTCM, we analyzed place of residence, age group, education level, marital status, employment status, and wealth status. The final step employed multinomial logistic regression.
In both countries, the results showed that variables associated with non-user LTCM were younger women, living in rural areas with poor education. Women without partner and unemployed had higher probability to not use LTCM. Finally, low wealth status had a higher probability than the richest multiparous to not use LTCM.
The study concluded that there were six barriers for multiparous women to use LTCM in the Philippines and Indonesia. The six obstacles were living in rural areas, being younger, poor education, single, unemployed, and low wealth.
多产妇应该能够结束她们的生育周期，以减少人口增长。本研究旨在分析菲律宾和印度尼西亚多产妇使用长期避孕方法（LTCM）的障碍。
研究人群为年龄在 15-49 岁之间、在菲律宾和印度尼西亚生育过活产婴儿>1 的女性。加权样本量为菲律宾 12085 名女性和印度尼西亚 25543 名女性。为了确定与使用 LTCM 相关的变量，我们分析了居住地、年龄组、教育水平、婚姻状况、就业状况和财富状况。最后一步采用了多项逻辑回归。
在这两个国家，结果表明，与非使用者 LTCM 相关的变量是年轻女性，居住在教育程度较差的农村地区。没有伴侣和失业的女性更有可能不使用 LTCM。最后，与最富有多产妇相比，低财富状况更有可能不使用 LTCM。
研究得出结论，菲律宾和印度尼西亚的多产妇有六个使用 LTCM 的障碍。这六个障碍是居住在农村地区、年龄较小、教育程度低、单身、失业和低财富。
