Abstract

Background:

One of the reasons for the lack of optimal achievement in terms of contraceptive use in Indonesia is the unmet need for family planning that has not been fully addressed.

Objective:

This study aimed to determine the direct, indirect, and total effect of the determinants of family planning services utilization on the incidence of unmet need spacing and limiting in Indonesia to provide a basis for appropriate and effective program recommendations.

Study Design:

This study used secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey with a cross-sectional design with 33,635 respondents who were married women aged 14 to 49 years.

Results:

The results of the generalized structural equation modeling showed that the incidence of unmet need in Indonesia was 11.68%, consisting of unmet need spacing (4.86%) and unmet need limiting (6.82%). The quality of family planning services had a positive indirect effect on the incidence of unmet need spacing. The quality of family planning services also had a positive direct, indirect, and total effect on the incidence of unmet need limiting. Socioeconomic and demographic status variables had a negative direct effect on the incidence of unmet need spacing, whereas the indirect and the total effect were positive. The direct and total effect of socioeconomic and demographic status variables on the incidence of unmet need limiting were positive. The women's autonomy variable had a positive direct, indirect, and total effect on the incidence of unmet need spacing. Women's autonomy had positive indirect and total effect on the incidence of unmet needs limiting. The variable of access problems did not have a significant effect on the incidence of unmet need spacing and unmet need limiting. The ideal number of children had a negative direct and total effect on the incidence of unmet need spacing and unmet need limiting in Indonesia.

Conclusion:

The variables that have been shown to have a significant effect on the incidence of unmet needs were the quality of family planning services, socioeconomic and demographic status, women's autonomy, and the ideal number of children.

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Family Therapy

Family Therapy

Family therapy conceptualizes psychological challenges as arising from dysfunctional interactions within the family unit, rather than as isolated issues within individuals. This approach seeks to address and transform the patterns of communication, roles, and relationships within families to promote healthier dynamics and emotional well-being for all members.

Strategic family therapy emphasizes resolving communication barriers and improving problem-solving abilities...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data

Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data

Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

Factorial Design

Factorial Design

Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

Parametric Survival Analysis: Weibull and Exponential Methods

Parametric survival analysis models survival data by assuming a specific probability distribution for the time until an event occurs. The Weibull and exponential distributions are two of the most commonly used methods in this context, due to their versatility and relatively straightforward application.
Weibull Distribution
The Weibull distribution is a flexible model used in parametric survival analysis. It can handle both increasing and decreasing hazard rates, depending on its shape parameter...
