description Objectives: The evidence on utilization of immediate postpartum intrauterine contraceptive devices (IPPIUCDs) and its associated factors are limited in Ethiopia. Hence, this study intended to assess IPPIUCD utilization and related factors among women who gave birth in Adama town public hospitals, Ethiopia. Method: A facility-based cross-sectional study was done among 493 postpartum mothers at selected government health facilities in Adama town from January 20 to February 20, 2021. All women who gave birth in selected government health facilities and within 48 h of postpartum were included in the study. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to identify the factors associated with IPPIUCD utilization. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to measure the strength of association and statistical significance was declared at p  < 0.05. Result: In this study, 22.1% (95% CI: 17.3–25.2) of the mothers used IPPIUCDs within 48 h of giving birth. Having three or more children (AOR = 4.18, 95% CI: 1.79–9.79), having no desire to have another child (AOR = 3.9, 95% CI: 1.86–8.17), counseling after delivery (AOR = 3.1 95% CI: 1.52–6.34), and having good knowledge about PPIUCD (AOR = 3.82, 95% CI: 1.94–7.49) were significantly associated with IPPIUCD utilization. Conclusion: The utilization of IPPIUCD in this study was low. Strategies to raise pregnant mothers’ awareness of IPPIUCD through mass media, and integrating standard counseling on immediate postpartum intrauterine device (IPPIUD) during antenatal care, and the immediate postpartum period are required to improve IPPIUD utilization.
