| description | <h4>Introduction</h4>Disrespect and abusive care is a violation of women's basic human rights and it is serious global problem that needs urgent intervention. Poor quality client-provider interaction is commonly reported from family planning programmes. In Ethiopia, disrespect and abusive care is very common (21-78%) across health facilities.<h4>Objective</h4>To assess the status of respectful family planning service (client-provider interaction) in Sidama zone, south Ethiopia.<h4>Methodology</h4>Health facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August 2018. Data were collected from 920 family planning clients recruited from 40 randomly selected health facilities. The Mother on Respect index (MORi) questionnaire was used to collect the data through client exit interview. Partial proportional odds ordinal regression was employed to identify determinants of respectful family planning service.<h4>Result</h4>Among family planning clients, the level of respectful family planning service was found to be zero (0%) in the very low respect category, 75(18.5%) in the low respect category, 382(41.52%) in moderate respect category and 463(50.33%) in high respect category. Being a short acting method client (AOR = 0.30, 95%CI [0.12, 0.72]), being an uneducated client (AOR = 0.39, 95%CI [0.25, 0.61]) or a client with elementary education (AOR = 0.41, 95%CI [0.23, 0.73]), client's poverty (AOR = 0.75, 95%CI [0.56, 0.99]), and long waiting time (AOR = 0.46, 95%CI [0.30, 0.69])significantly reduced the odds of moderate and high respect compared to low respect. Conversely, preference of male service providers, service providers' work satisfaction and health workers' prior training on respectful care significantly increased the odds of moderate and high respect.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Considering the current strategy of zero tolerance for disrespect and abuse in Ethiopia, the level of respectful care in this study is sub-optimal. Short term training for service providers on respectful care seems valuable to enhance the level of respectful care for family planning clients irrespective of their socioeconomic background. |
