This study aimed at identifying the socio-demographic and service related factors influencing intra uterine contraceptive device (IUD) utilization among family planning clients in Addis Ababa. With a quantitative, cross sectional descriptive design approach, data was collected using structured questionnaires administered by healthcare supervisors. A total of 366 family planning clients and 35 family planning service providers were interviewed. The findings indicated that the level of education, occupation, parity and fertility plan have significant (p<0.05) association with utilization of IUD. Healthcare service provider’s knowledge and skills for provision of intra uterine contraceptive device services were low. Community members lack awareness and knowledge of the benefit and side effects of the device. Therefore, community members need education to promote adherence and effective use of IUD. Similarly, healthcare service providers need skill training and education to ensure quality provision of IUD service / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health)

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka sjuksköterskors upplevelse av återhämtning i arbetet, genom att studera schemalagd återhämtningstid på 1177 Vårdguiden på telefon. Fokus riktas mot att skapa förståelse för vilken betydelse återhämtning i arbetet har för arbetsbelastningen och arbetsklimatet, genom att undersöka hantering av arbetsuppgifterna och socialt samspel iarbetsgruppen. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med tio sjuksköterskor på 1177 Vårdguiden på telefon. Insamlade data analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analysmetod och resulterade i fem teman; energi i arbetet, full närvaro i samtalet, legitimt att återhämta sig i arbetet, att kunna släppa arbetet under pausen samt gemenskap i arbetsgruppen. Resultatet visar på vikten av att uppleva en frihet i att kunna återhämta sig efter eget behov samt möjligheten till att släppa arbetet under pausen. Återhämtning i arbetet är betydande för arbetsbelastningen då det upplevs ge mer energi, ett ökat fokus, effektivitet samt möjligheten att inta en professionell roll vid hantering av arbetsuppgifterna. Återhämtning i arbetet är betydande för arbetsklimatet då det upplevs ge gemenskap i arbetsgruppen, ett ökat stöd för varandra, reflektion med kollegor samt möjligheten till att utveckla arbetsrelationer vid studerande av det socialasamspelet i arbetsgruppen. Studien bidrar med en förståelse för att återhämtning är en viktig resurs för att uppleva kontroll och gemenskap i arbetet, vilket kan främja organisatorisk och social arbetsmiljö. / There are only a few published studies about recovery at work.
