Knowledge And Attitude

Background: Uterine Prolapse (UP) is a very common morbid condition in Nepal among women during reproductive health. Awareness on uterine prolapse can prevent huge number of UP cases. Thus, this study is designed to find out the knowledge and Attitude towards uterine prolapsed among married women of reproductive age (MWRA). Methods: A community –based cross-sectional study was conducted in Daulichaur VDC of Ba­jhang district among 313 Married women of Reproductive age (15-49). Semi structure tool was used to collect the data. Data collection was done from March 2016 to April 2016. Data was col­lected through face to face interview by using interview schedule. Descriptive (frequency and percentage), (Chi-square, Pearson correlation) analysis were used for data analysis. Results: This study revealed that almost three fourth (70%) of respondents had low level of knowl­edge and only 17.6% had positive attitude regarding uterine prolapse. The level of knowledge was associated with age, occupation status and educational status. The level of attitude was associ­ated with age, educational status and occupational status. There was significant positive relation­ship between level of knowledge and attitude (r= 0.363, p < 0.001). Conclusions: MWRA of the Daulichaur VDC had low level of knowledge and Positive attitude re­garding uterine prolapse. The findings of this study suggest that there is an urgent need to educate and create awareness regarding UP to promote the health status of MWRA.

Contraceptive Uptake

Background: Family planning programs are implemented specifically to address the sexual and reproductive health challenges of women of childbearing age but these interventions are yet to address regional differences in modern contraceptive usage in Nigeria. Hence, this study aimed to examine correlates of modern contraceptive uptake in South West and North Eastern, Nigeria.Methods: A cross-sectional survey data for women aged 15-49 years was extracted from Nigeria demographic and health surveys 2018 (NDHS). Data analyses were based on a weighted sample of 10,907 (North East= 5406 and South West = 5501) women of reproductive age. The outcome variable was modern contraceptive use. The main explanatory variables were age, employment status, religion, Number of living children, education, and marital status. Frequency distribution, Chi-square test, and binary logistic regression were used for data analysis (α=0.05).Results: The result showed the mean age of women of reproductive age in South West and North East to be 32years and 30 years respectively. More women in South West used modern contraceptive than women in North East. About 91.5% and 75.8% of women in North East and South West respectively did not used any modern method. The result showed that, in the South West, number of living children (OR:4.06, CI: 2.794-5.921), education (OR:1.35, CI: 1.045-1.754) and wealth index (OR:1.77, CI: 1.053-2.973) increased the odds of contraceptive uptake, while maternal age (OR:0.52, CI: 0.282-0.965), religion (OR:0.25, CI: 0.184-0.347) and place of residence (OR:0.68, CI: 0.504-0.916) significantly reduced the odds of modern contraceptive uptake in North East.Conclusions: This study concludes that there are regional variations in uptake and predictors of modern contraceptives use in Nigeria. Therefore, sexual and reproductive health interventions that considers the study’s significant variables should be put in place to increase uptake.

The aim: To analyze the nutritional knowledge of women in the reproductive age about nutrients influencing the fetal nervous system’s development. Materials and methods: The study was conducted with a proprietary anonymous questionnaire using the CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interviews) method among 263 women aged 18-51 years. Results: In 35.4% of the surveyed women, the level of knowledge was insufficient, in 31.9% – sufficient, in 27% – good, and only in 5.7% – very good. The knowledge of the respondents was influenced by education (p < 0.001) and body mass index (BMI, p < 0.001). Women of reproductive age with higher education and/or lower BMI had a better understanding of nutrients influencing the fetal nervous system’s development. Age, place of residence, family status, and professional status did not affect their knowledge. Conclusions: The study showed that it is necessary to conduct nutritional education among women of reproductive age. Increasing the respondents’ awareness of the importance of nutrients determining the fetus’s proper development, both during the reproductive period and during pregnancy, is extremely important.

ABSTRACT Background: Personal and social factor play role in individual behavior, including women choice toward contraceptive uptake. Age, education, religious beliefs, knowledge of fertile days, and culture were factors that significantly predicted contraceptive use. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between age, occupation, income, and contraceptive uptake in women of reproductive age in Indonesia. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study. A sample of 49,627 women of reproductive age was selected for this study. The dependent variable was contraceptive uptake. The independent variables were age, occupation, and income. The data were obtained from Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) year 2017. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Contraceptive uptake in Indonesia was 59.7%. Contraceptive was used by women aged 15-49 years. Contraceptive uptake decreased with age <35 or ≥35 (OR= 0.52; 95% CI= 0.50 to o.55; p= 0.001), employed (OR= 0.72; 95% CI= 0.68 to 0.75; p<0.001), low education (OR= 1.77; 95% CI= 1.54 to 2.05; p<0.001), and low income (OR= 0.98; 95% CI= 0.94 to 1.02; p= 0.474). Conclusion: Age, employment, and education are associated with contraceptive uptake in women of reproductive age.

Background: This study assessed some demographic and socio-cultural factors that influence contraceptive uptake among reproductive-aged women in Tamale Metropolis of the Northern Region, GhanaDesign: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from February to March 2015Setting: All three sub Metropolis in TamaleParticipants: All community members and women of reproductive age (15-49years)Intervention: The study used cluster sampling to recruit women who were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Nine focus group discussions (FGDs) were also held among community members who were purposively selected.Main outcome measures: contraceptive uptake (use of contraceptive)Results: The mean age of the women was 26 years. The prevalence of contraceptive uptake among reproductive-age women was 36.8% (165/448). Women with secondary school education [AOR=4.4(95%CI:1.6-12.4)], and those in homes where decisions on having children were made by both partners [AOR=2.1(95%CI:1.1-04.42)] were more likely to use contraceptives. Unemployed women [AOR=0.3(95%CI:0.1-0.8)], women whose husbands were unaware of their contraceptive use [AOR=0.4(95%CI:0.2-0.9)] and those having a culture or religion that frowns on contraceptive use [AOR=0.4(95%CI:0.2-0.8)] were less likely to use contraceptive among women in the Tamale Metropolis.Conclusion: The study found a contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) in Tamale Metropolis, Northern Ghana to be 36.8%. Education and living in a home where childbearing decisions are made together were identified as positive factors influencing contraceptive uptake.Keywords: Contraceptive Uptake; Tamale Metropolis; Reproductive-aged women; socio cultural factors; Contraceptive prevalenceFunding: This work was funded by the authors

Level Of Knowledge

Nearly one in ten women of reproductive age worldwide has an unmet need for family planning. Although contraceptive usage has increased globally, sub-Saharan Africa has recorded the lowest usage of contraceptives worldwide, with Nigeria, the country with the highest population in Africa still recording a low prevalence of contraceptive usage. This descriptive survey assessed the knowledge and utilization of family planning services among 85 women attending a comprehensive health centre in Ogun State. Data analysis was done with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 and hypotheses were tested using chi-square. Findings revealed the level of knowledge on family planning was above average as 55.8% demonstrated good knowledge; however, utilization of family planning services was below average as 55.8% showed inadequate utilization. While significant association was found between the utilization of family planning and the number of children per household, (χ2=8. 649, p = 0.034), no significant association was found between knowledge of the respondents and their utilization of family planning services (χ2=0.828, p = 0.730), and also between knowledge of the respondents and their educational level (χ2=4.303, p = 0.116). Although the level of knowledge in this study was above average, there is still room for improvement even as the knowledge did not translate into adequate utilization of family planning services. This calls for more advocacy and interventions to combat this trend. This will hopefully improve contraceptive prevalence while aligning Nigeria with the Sustainable Development Goal of providing universal access to reproductive health services by 2030.
