Factors Influencing the Satisfaction with the Family Planning Services among Women of Reproductive Age Seeking Family Planning Services at Health Facilities in Siaya County, Kenya

Abstract/Overview

Client satisfaction is one of the desired outcomes of health care, and it is directly tied to health service consumption. It reflects the disconnect between the service's expectations and the client's experience with it. Client retention is currently one of the most serious issues in health facilities, and this problem has been largely related to a lack of sufficient and satisfying service to clients. The goal of this facility based, cross-sectional study was to find out what factors influence women of reproductive age's satisfaction with family planning services at health facilities in Siaya County, Kenya. The study was conducted among women of reproductive age seeking FP services in 4 sub-county public hospitals: Bondo, Ukwala, Madiany, and Yala, in Siaya County, as well as healthcare providers serving the women during the period of study. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the participants in quantitative findings while the purposive sampling technique was used for qualitative data. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires for women receiving service and a key informant interview guide for healthcare workers. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using STATA (v 15) while qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. Most (60.06%) of the clients served were aged between 20-24 years and 194 (56.56%) were married. The majority (92.71%) of the clients had high satisfaction with the services they received at the health facilities, and women with high levels of interaction with the providers were about 68% more likely to be satisfied with the FP services as compared to females with low provider-client interactions (OR= 0.68, p=.021
