摘要
目的:本研究的目的是调查南苏丹Nimule Payam育龄妇女的计划生育知识、态度和实践(KAP)。方法:采用描述性横断面设计和定量分析方法,对尼姆勒巴耶姆地区育龄妇女的计划生育知识、态度和行为进行调查。研究人群包括6621名育龄妇女,分别来自Anzara的Bomas(1930名)、Jalei(1521名)、Olikwi(1536名)和Nimule Central(1634名)。使用莱斯利公式从总体中确定了342个样本量。采用分层简单随机抽样的方法,通过研究者管理的结构化问卷来收集调查对象的数据。使用EPI-INFO version 7对数据进行清理、编码和分析,生成描述性统计数据,并将结果显示在表格中。结果:研究发现,尼姆勒巴雅姆育龄妇女计划生育知识水平273(79.82%)高,计划生育实践233(68%)好,对计划生育态度积极。对计划生育持积极态度的主要原因为:270人(78.97%)认为计划生育是安全的,不会导致不孕252人(73.82%),不会导致癌症264人(76.93%),未来流产251人(73.36%)。受访者也普遍认同319人(93.07%)的计划生育可以预防意外怀孕。然而,大多数受访者承认计划生育的做法违背了他们的上帝/安拉268(78.31%)和文化229(67.03%)。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:研究发现,Nimule Payam育龄妇女的计划生育知识水平较高,态度相当积极,实行计划生育方法的人数适中。需要提高应答者及其伴侣对计划生育的认识,以改善他们的态度和做法。今后的研究应关注影响尼木勒巴雅姆育龄妇女计划生育知识、态度和实践的因素。
FAMILY PLANNING KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND PRACTICE AMONG WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE IN NIMULE PAYAM, SOUTH SUDAN
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine family planning Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) among women of reproductive age in Nimule Payam, South Sudan.
Method: The study used a descriptive cross-sectional design and quantitative approach to explore family planning knowledge, attitude and practice among women of reproductive age in Nimule Payam. The study population consisted of 6,621 women of reproductive age in the Bomas of Anzara (1,930), Jalei(,1521), Olikwi (1,536) and Nimule Central (1,634). A sample size of 342 was determined from the population using the formulae of Leslie. Stratified simple random sampling was employed through a researcher administered structured questionnaire to collect data from the respondents. The data was cleaned, coded and analyzed using EPI-INFO version 7 to generate descriptive statistics and the results were presented in tables.
Results: The study revealed that women of reproductive age in Nimule Payam had high 273 (79.82%) level of family planning knowledge, good 233 (68%) family planning practices and positive attitude towards family planning. The positive attitude towards family planning was because majority 270 (78.97%) believed family planning was safe to use, could not cause infertility 252 (73.82%), cancer 264 (76.93%) and future abortion 251 (73.36%). The respondents also generally agreed that 319 (93.07%) family planning could prevent unwanted pregnancy. However, the majority of the respondents acknowledged that the practice of family planning was against their God/Allah 268 (78.31%) and culture 229 (67.03%).
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study found that women of reproductive age in Nimule Payam had a high level of family planning knowledge, a fairly positive attitude with a moderate number practicing family planning methods. Increased sensitization of the respondents and their partners on family planning is required to improve their attitude and practice. Future studies should focus on the factors influencing the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of family planning methods among women of reproductive age in Nimule Payam.
