“…A similar study conducted by Kasa et al, among women in resource limited area of Ethiopia corroborates our findings ( 18 ). Also, findings from the study conducted by Mitkari et al ( 19 ), as well as that conducted by Adeyemi et al ( 14 ), are in keeping with our results. Hence, there is a need to improve contraceptive literacy in rural communities of Nigeria.…”

BACKGROUND: Universal contraceptive access is one of the key strategies for achieving sustainable developments in any country. Yet, uptake has remained low in most developing nations like Nigeria. The reasons for low use must be contextually understood to aid effective contraceptive programming. This study assessed contraceptive use and its determinants among reproductive aged women in Ejigbo, Osun State, Nigeria.METHOD: A quantitative study involving 405 participants which were recruited using multi-stage sampling method was carried out. Data were collected using pretested semi-structured, intervieweradministered questionnaire. Chi-Square test and binary logistic regression analysis were used for inferential statistics.RESULTS: The mean age of the respondents was 28±6. The majority (92.8%) of the respondents were aware of family planning, 68.9% of them possessed good knowledge but only 53% of them demonstrated favorable contraceptive attitude. Less than half (33.0%) of those who had heard about contraception were current users of modern methods. Injectables (45.0%) and male condoms (30.0%) were the most prevalent contraceptive methods among the respondents. The main determinants of contraceptive uptake were respondents’ educational status (AOR=0.525, 95%CI=0.284-0.972), contraceptive knowledge (OR=0.512, 95%CI=1.242-1.968) and attitude (OR=0.512, 95%CI=1.242- 1.968). Fear of perceived side effects (45.2%), low pregnancy risk perception (35.7%) and spousal refusal (12.5%) were the main reasons for non-contraceptive use among non-users.CONCLUSION: Contraceptive demand in the study population was low in spite of high awareness level. There is a need to increase contraceptive literacy in the study population and make the services more acceptable to rural dwellers so as to meet the SDG-3 target in Nigeria.

Despite being the first country to launch the National Family Planning Programme in 1952, India still lags behind in practising contraception. This study was conducted to assess knowledge, awareness and practice methods of contraception during the postpartum period. The study included 720 postpartum women; details including awareness and practice methods of contraception and factors affecting use by the postpartum women were obtained. Statistical analysis was done by using the chi-square test and percentage (%). The mean age of postpartum women was 26.5 years, 28.19% were literate between 9th - 12th grade, 96.94% women were housewives. Among them, 56% of women were aware of at least one contraception and correct usage. Among them, 98.01% knew about sterilization. About 48.88% of women were aware of more than one method of contraception. After counselling, 97.2% of women were willing to use contraception. However, 2.78% of patients chose abstinence. In our study, knowledge about contraception based on education and socio-economic status of women shows significant association (p-value <0.00001 for both). Health professionals should evaluate the level of awareness, create awareness and provide education regarding methods of contraception for use in the postpartum period to improve maternal and fetal outcome.

“…37 Other studies also showed that women educational status and contraceptive knowledge were factors influencing contraceptive uptake. 18,27,38 There is, therefore, the need to improve contraceptive literacy in rural communities of Nigeria especially the north central. This will involve an increased and sustained political will by the Nigerian government and its partner agencies to invest more on contraceptive use education programmes to improve the knowledge-base of rural women regarding contraception.…”

Background: The maternal mortality rate in north central Nigeria remained unacceptably high and the use of modern contraceptives among women of reproductive age in north central Nigeria may be a way of reducing maternal death. The study aimed to determine the contraceptive uptake among women of reproductive age in north central Nigeria and the factors that influence the use of contraceptives. Methods: The study was a secondary analysis of 2018 national demographic and household survey data. Data were abstracted for women of reproductive age 15-49 years across seven states in Nigeria. Results: The level of awareness of modern contraceptives was 91.6% while the modern contraceptive prevalence rate was 38.8% and current contraceptive prevalence use was 53.4%. The main source of information was radio 298 (22.4%) and the most common contraceptive used was implants 81 (29.3%) followed by hormonal contraceptive injections 77 (27.4%). The factors associated with the use of contraceptives include the age of the women, religion, level of education, number of children ever born, and partners’ opinion (p=0.001). The proportion of women who oppose contraceptive use was significantly higher (χ2=4.732, p=0.030). Similarly, the proportion of women whose husbands/partners opposed contraceptive use was significantly higher (χ2=8.589, p=0.003, OR=3.2). Conclusions: The prevalence of contraceptive use is low in north-central Nigeria despite the high level of awareness. There is a need to involve the women’s partner to increase the uptake of contraceptive use.
