This study looked at women of reproductive age at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital in Benin City, Nigeria, to see how they perceived, accepted, and used family planning methods.<br /> Materials and method: This cross-sectional descriptive study with a sample size of 287 uses a structured questionnaire as the data collection tool. Cronbach alpha reliability provided a coefficient of 0.775, considered significant for the investigation. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 22, and hypotheses were tested using the Person Chi-square test at a significance level of 0.05%.<br /> Results: This present data found that the respondents' mean SD age was 32.61 6.425, that the majority are educated, with 127 (45.4%) having higher education, and that 276 (98.6%) have heard about family planning and are aware of various methods. Health workers are an important source of information about family planning and its methods, accounting for 188 (68.1%). Only 218 people (77.9%) had ever tried any form of family planning. The failure rate of contraception was 12 (5.5%), whereas the discontinuation rate was 200 (91.7%). Now, 192 (68.6%) were using family planning, while (68.2%) of those who are not using contraception intended to utilize one of the methods in the near future. Economic status was connected with family planning utilization (P = 0.009). The desire for additional children 22(35.5%), fear about side effects 12(19.4%), husband disapproval 10(16.1%), financial restrictions 4(6.5%), and religious belief 14(22.5%) are all barriers to acceptance.<br /> Conclusion: Although respondents are aware of family planning methods, acceptance is relatively low due to a desire for additional children, fear of side effects, husband disapproval, financial constraints, and religious beliefs, all of which must be considered to have a successful implementation of family planning in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":474107,"journal":{"name":"SSRG international journal of nursing and health science","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136240832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
