Unmet Family Planning Needs among Women in the Child Bearing Period in Benin: Prevalence and Possible Associated Risk Factors | Chapter 9 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

Developing countries, including Benin, are characterized by very high fertility. The consequences result in the precarious health of women and children, slow economic growth, poverty, overcrowding of schools and health facilities, overload of infrastructure and depletion of natural resources. Additionally, high fertility rates contribute to rising unemployment, increasing social inequalities, and the escalation of social conflicts. This article assesses the unmet needs for family planning among women of childbearing age in the Donga department, Benin. This goal is therefore to guide the intervention strategies of the various projects and programs aimed at filling the unmet needs in family planning for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the well-being of the Beninese population in general and that of Donga in particular.  A mixed method (quantitative and qualitative) was used based on data from a field survey conducted among 466 women of childbearing age in 280 households and 57 resource people. The qualitative component carried out through observations, in-depth individual interviews with resource people, and focus group discussions with homogeneous subgroups of women, men, and young people, provided explanations and information to complete the quantitative component. In addition, the collection of quantitative data was carried out electronically from smartphones using a digital questionnaire using CS PRO version 6.3 software. To this end, multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and logistic regression were used to identify the profiles of women with unmet needs and the factors associated with them. The results indicate that 89.6% of unmet needs concern birth spacing, while 10.4% concern birth control. The explanatory multivariate analysis made it possible to identify the woman’s age, the ideal number of children, the type of household the woman belongs to, the woman’s area of residence, her level of education, and her main occupation as significant determinants of unmet need for birth spacing. As for unmet needs for birth control, only the woman’s age group and ideal number of children had a significant influence at the 5% threshold. In-depth interviews with resource persons highlighted that education is a central element influencing the unmet need for family planning. Adult women face considerably higher unmet needs compared to teenagers, while cultural norms around ideal family size significantly reduce unmet needs for those preferring larger families. Other factors such as place of residence, education level, employment status, and type of union show trends that warrant further investigation but do not have statistically significant impacts in this study. The study recommended improving awareness about family planning services by promoting education for all, integrating sexual and reproductive health into school curricula, and raising awareness not only among women but also among men.

Use of Postpartum Modern Family Planning Methods and Its Association with Utilization of Maternity Services among Women of Child Bearing Age in Nigeria | Chapter 11 | Research Highlights in Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 The objective concerning this study was to ascertain the connection between exercise of maternity services (UMS) and postpartum new family planning (PPMFP) uptake between Nigerian women in the generative age group while taking into account the impact of the district of maternity services approach. Family planning (FP) allows public to space their pregnancies and have the number of children they want by utilizing various methods of birth control. This was a descriptive epidemiological study that complicated the analysis of secondary dossier from the 2013 Nigerian Demographic Health Survey (NDHS). The source of dossier for this study was the women’s questionnaire of the 2013 NDHS. It given recent information on strength indicators containing family planning as well as different demographic characteristics of daughters of reproductive group of same status 15–49 years. To ascertain the friendship between the PPMFP uptake and the IDV/added control variables, descriptive enumerations, chi-square testing, and logistic reversion analyses were carried out. . Statistical meaning was claimed at p<0.05. Utilization of period of being pregnant with child services was associated with greater uptake of PPMFP among the wives (>/= 4 ANC visits OR = 2.08, 95% CI=1.65–2.62, P<0.001; public facility transmittal OR= 1.80, 95% CI= 1.54–2.10, P< 0.001; private facility delivery OR =1.54, 95% CI 1.28–1.85, P< 0.001; PNC OR=1.21, 95% CI= 1.02–1.43, P=0.029). Accessing postnatal care uncommunicative health facilities was guide increased rude answer of PPMFP (OR= 1.46, 95% CI =1.05–2.02, P= 0.024). The number of children alive, instructional attainment, wealth index and bearing information about FP waited significant predictors of PPMFP uptake. In Nigeria, postpartum use of up-to-date contraceptives among women of generative age was positively equated with the use of maternity duties (ANC, health facility transmittal, and attending PNC). Among Nigerian women of accouchement age, use of maternity services was definitely correlated accompanying postpartum use of contemporary family planning methods. However, accessing postnatal care in private conveniences was associated with larger uptake of PPMFP.

Family Planning Practices among Adolescents: A Case Study from Ghana | Chapter 8 | Research Developments in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 6

 The purpose concerning this study was to label the factors that influence adolescents' information and Family Planning practises in Ghana's Tema Central sub-capital. The importance of birth control in public fitness is well documented, with benefits in the way that reducing the number of unintentional pregnancies, maternal and minor mortality, and the number of failure episodes among wives. Adolescents are particularly liable to unique well-being risks associated with duplication and sexuality. Despite interventions proposed at increasing their use of birth control, family planning practises with adolescents in Ghana wait low. The study employed a explanatory cross-sectional design. The study was administered in all the four adolescent corners located in the Tema Central Sub-Metropolis. Tema Central Sub-Metropolis is located in the Tema municipality, at the southern part of Greater Accra Region. A total of 381 youths from adolescent service intimate units in the Tema Central substitute-metropolis were sampled utilizing cluster sampling technique for the study. Knowledge of juveniles on FP services was analysed descriptively utilizing frequencies, percentages. The Chi-Square event was used to estimate differences in FP information and demographic data of accused. Statistical significance was thought-out based on p-advantage <0.05.There was a high level of knowledge of family planning among the juveniles (96.1%). Knowledge on family planning was good between the adolescents (98.4%). Age (P<0.05) and level of instruction (P<0.05) had significant influence on information on family planning among the youths. However, out of the 381 youngsters, only twelve (3.1%) had always used a FP plan in the past and only six were using a FP procedure at the time of the study. Adolescent common perception of teens friendly aids provided for the adolescents was beneficial.Despite the adolescents' extreme level of awareness and information of family planning, their birth control practises were poor.

Women's Perceptions and Attitudes toward Family Planning and Its Barriers in Poor Rural Settings: Advancing Rwanda’s Family Planning Policy | Chapter 01 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 7

 Family planning (FP) was identified as a national priority for poverty reduction and socioeconomic development by Rwanda's government in 2012. On the other hand, rural areas continue to contribute to greater fertility rates. To aid in the successful implementation of family planning policies in poor rural communities, this study first investigated sociocultural perceptions and attitudes that stymie FP acceptance in poor rural households, and then inferred critical strategies that could be used to influence rural people's perceptions and behaviour shifts in favour of contraception use and smaller family size to take advantage of smaller families' health and educational opportunities.

A quantitative cross-sectional design determined FP use in homes, whereas a qualitative methodology investigated socio-cultural factors that hampered FP use. A total of 119 families with women of reproductive age (15–45) in Karongi District, Rwanda's western province, were selected.

Social and cultural standards had little effect on contraception use (32.8%) or exclusively favoured natural methods (12.6 percent). Religious norms accounted for 38.5 percent of social norms, with Christianity (91.8 percent) promoting the use of natural techniques, preferably abstinence, rather than modern procedures (which were perceived as murdering children) (73.3 percent). Cultural norms (17.9%) influenced families to have a large number of children as a source of wealth, proof of productivity, and a way to relieve parents' workloads, such as assisting mothers in family activities like cooking and assisting fathers in farming activities like keeping cows, goats, and pigs. Other attitudes included spousal rejection (men dominated in making FP decisions in households) (2.5 percent), and other non-users of modern procedures (28.2 percent) were concerned about negative effects.

In poor rural regions, religious, social, and cultural traditions have an impact on FP. Men and religious leaders should be targeted as essential partners who influence women's decisions in order to accelerate FP adoption.

Development of Oral Herbal Male Contraceptive | Chapter 08 | Current Aspects in Pharmaceutical Research and Development Vol. 8

 

Background: More study on male contraception is encouraged since population management is seen as a key step toward global health. Despite the fact that there are many synthetic contraceptives available, they all have different negative effects. When compared to condoms, several male contraceptive treatments, such as hormonal, pharmacological, and immunological therapies, were researched over a long period of time and found to have good antifertility efficacy with low failure rates.

The idea of herbal contraceptives, which are an effective technique to limit animal and human reproduction, is the emphasis of this chapter. The focus of this review was on herbal medicinal plants and plant extracts that have been found to have antifertility effects in men. Plants having reported animal research and some with human studies for antifertility effects, as well as their dosages, chemical contents, and mechanism of action for the antifertility impact of the plants, are all considered in the review. This chapter also covers the stages of sperm formation, hormone production, and the mechanism of male contraceptives.

Conclusion: In terms of the current review's applicability, it might be extremely useful in the development of plant monographs and recommendations for their use. Many of the plants listed here could be used as alternative oral fertility regulators in males. As a result, greater research into the chemical and biological characteristics of these less-explored plants is needed to evaluate their contraceptive efficacy as well as any negative effects, so that these compounds can be utilised reliably to manage male fertility. New inventions are needed in this field to focus on more current, more potent pharmaceuticals with less toxic components that are self-administerable, less expensive, and entirely reversible.
