Abstract
The study aimed to explore and understand the perceptions of women in Ddandira Village, Mukono District, regarding family planning methods. The objectives of the study were; to assess the perceptions of women in Ddandira Village, Mukono District, regarding the quality of available family planning methods; to examine how women in Ddandira Village, Mukono District, perceive the affordability of family planning methods, and to explore the perceptions of women in Ddandira Village, Mukono District, concerning their access to family planning methods.
The study employed a mixed methods design using both qualitative and quantitative means of collecting data (interviews and questionnaires). A population of 70 respondents consisting of women from 18 to 55 who visit health centres and medical practitioners in Ddandira Village Mukono Municipality was considered. Both random and purposive sampling methods were used to select 55 respondents as the sample size for the study.
The findings indicated that most women were satisfied with the quality of family planning methods, and family planning services are affordable to most women although access to family planning services remains a challenge for some women due to distance from health centers
