Abstract

Objective: To determine the acceptability of Implanon subdermal implant in 6-12 week-postpartum women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 393 postpartum women who visited MeKong hospital after giving-birth 6-12 weeks, 18 years of age or older, from November 2021 to June 2022. Results: Acceptability rate of Implanon subdermal implant was 21,2%; the mean age was 31 years; 75,3% of women with above high school; 46,4% of women with one child; 77,6% women using contraception before this pregnancy. The percentage of women with correct knowledge about implant is 32,3%, the positive attitude towards this method is 41,5%. There was a significant correlation between good knowledge and acceptability of Implanon (PR=3,08, p<0,001). Conclusion: Improving knowledge of subdermal implant by advising implant to women from antenatal check-up, before discharge from hospital, and postnatal follow-up visit is recommended.
