INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF STUDY
Family planning implies the ability of
individuals and couples to anticipate and attain their desired number of
children by spacing and timing their births. It is achieved through the use of
contraceptive methods and the treatment of involuntary infertility. The
availability of family planning does more than enable women and men to limit
family seize. It safeguards individual health and rights, and improves the
quality of life of couples and their children.
Umbeli
T, Mukhtar A, Abusalab M (2001). Family planning is an important strategy in
promoting maternal and child health. It improves health through adequate
spacing of births and avoiding pregnancy of high risk maternal ages and
parities.
The
most important proximate determinant of fertility is the use of family
planning. Where contraceptive use is widespread fertility is low. Rajaretnam
has demonstated that even if there is no reduction in the family size of
individual couples, delaying child bearing will bring about a decline in
fertility and population growth rate. Lack of adequate information and
ignorance are key factors militating against family planning practice in
Nigeria. Many potential informational barriers exist to contraceptive use.
(Rajaretnam, T. 1990). Adinma J.I.M, Nwosu B.O (2005), women must be aware of
the methods available, must know where supplies of these methods can be
obtained and they must know how to use the method they choose. Each year an
estimated 5,00,000 women die of complication due to pregnancy, child bearing or
unsafe abortion.
In
some areas of Nigeria, one in five women report having experienced an unwanted
conception, of these 58% had an abortion and on additional 9% attempted
unsuccessfully to end the pregnancy. It is estimated that about 25% of women
who have abortion in Nigeria experience serious complications.
Adoption
of family planning measures will reduced unwanted pregnancies and criminal
abortions to it barest minimum. Pregnancy is the reproductive age group die at
a higher rate than men. Most materials deaths occur among poor women who live
in remote rural areas and have difficult access to hospital. (federal office of
statistic 1992).
Nigeria
is the most populous country in Africa, with more than 88million people, it
also has a high annual rate of population growth (3.5%) and a total fertility
rate of 6.0 lifetime births per women. Additionally, the country has relatively
high levels of infant mortality (104 infan deaths per 1,000 live births) and
maternal mortality (800 materials death per 100,000 live births). (USAID ODA)
In
response to these and other serious demographic and health issue, the Nigerian
government put into effect a national population policy in 1989 that called for
a reduction in the birthrate through voluntary fertility regulation methods
compatible with the nation’s economic and social goals. (Federal Government of
Nigeria, 1988). Promoting sexual responsibility substantially increased
requests for contraceptive information among adolescents. Other studies have
shown that exposure to a mass media family planning campaign increases
contraceptive use.
Several
studies have reported change in Nigerians knowledge of and attitudes toward
family planning. Theses studies, however, did not examine the association
between attitude toward contraception and its use. In the 1981- 1982 Nigerian
fertility survey, only 34% of all women reported that they had heard of any
family planning method.
By
1990, when the Nigerian Demographic and health survey was conducted, the
proportion of women who knew of any contraceptive methods had increased by
about one- third, to 46%, and the proportion of women who knew of specific
methods also had grown.
Furthermore, 41% of married women who knew of a contraceptive
metho9d had discussed family planning with their husbands. Family planning
affect contraceptive use?. The answer will help policymakers and program
planners determine what issue need to be stressed in the design of future
family planning awareness campaigns in Nigeria.
In the light of the above, this study was designed to assess the
awareness of family planning amongst antenatal patients of federal medical
centre, Owo, Ondo state, Nigeria.
