Item Male involvement and factors influencing choice of contraception among market traders in an urban city in Southwest Nigeria(College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2024) Fakorede, E.O.; Ogunbode, O.O.; Ogunbode, A.M.; Okunlola, M.A.The study assessed the determinants of contraceptive choice and use as well as to examine the perceived impact of male involvement in contraception among market traders. A mixed method cross-sectional study conducted among 489 traders in four Local Government areas in Ibadan, Nigeria, using a structured questionnaire developed by the researchers and in-depth interviews with multi-staged sampling technique. The mean age of participants was 36.1 +8.4 years, with mean parity of 3.8± 1.5. Female traders represented 49.3% (241) while 50.7% (248) were males. Most, two hundred and twenty participants (45.0%) were from Bodija market. Majority (84.1%) were married and consisted mostly of Yoruba (92.4%) ethnic group. Awareness of contraception was high (89.9%) and the most common source was the health facility (366; 74.9%), however, only 41.1% were using modern contraception. Ease of use was the primary determining factor (48.2%) while partner's refusal (28.1%) was the major reason against use of contraception. Among the female participants, 119 (49.4%) stated that their partner had stopped them from using contraceptives in the past and 124(51.1%) reported positive male involvement and support for contraceptive use. There was high level of awareness of contraception, yet uptake and utilization are low. Also, men play a significant role in determining choice so there is need for health education on family planning targeted towards men.Item Knowledge, attitude and readiness to use contraceptives among postpartum women at a tertiary hospital in Southwest Nigeria(Zambia Medical Association, 2023) Olukunle, T.A; Ogunbode, O.O.; Abdus-salam, A.A.Background: Postpartum family planning is vital in the prevention of unintended pregnancy and closely spaced pregnancies in the first year post-delivery. This study was designed to examine the postpartum women's knowledge, attitude, belief and readiness to contraceptive use. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among one hundred and ninety-four consenting women, six weeks post-delivery, at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria using an interviewer-assisted structured questionnaire. Data was analysed using IBM Statistics for Windows Version 23.0. Tests of association was done using chi-square and statistical significance was set at p-value of < 0.05. Results: Many of the respondents (60.8%) were in the age group 30-39 years and the majority (90.3%) had tertiary level of education. Most of the respondents got their information from health talks at antenatal clinic (42.8%) and health workers (42.3%).The majority (82.5%) of respondents were aware of contraception and 157(80.9%) intended to use contraceptives. The most preferred contraceptive methods were implants (19.1%). Respondents with three or more children alive(p=0.001), had statistically significant associations with prior use of contraception while those with the tertiary level of education(p=0.001), of the Christian religion (p=<0.001) and had contraceptive counselling during pregnancy (p=0.031)had statistically significant associations with good knowledge of contraception. Conclusion: The knowledge and readiness to use contraceptives was high but only about half were willing to adopt contraception post-delivery. There is therefore the need for the enactment of government policy and legislation that will ensure wide coverage and availability of contraception counselling among pregnant women.
