摘要

意外怀孕仍然是妇女,特别是女大学生生殖健康面临的一个重大挑战。它是不安全堕胎及其并发症的一个原因,并大大导致孕产妇死亡,这可以通过使用紧急避孕药来预防。这是一项描述性横断面研究,在尼日利亚西北部卡诺巴耶罗大学的374名非医学、非相关医学、非基础医学和非制药科学的女本科生中进行。采用自填问卷进行数据收集,采用SPSS Version 23.0软件进行分析。采用卡方检验进行相关性检验,p<0.05。被调查者年龄15 ~ 45岁,平均年龄24.98±4.96岁。大多数受访者的年龄在20-29岁之间。超过一半(260人,69.5%)的人是单身。大多数受访者(334人,89.3%)了解紧急避孕措施。信息来源、学习年限与紧急避孕意识的相关性有统计学意义(p<0.05)。在这项研究中,受访者表现出良好的意识和紧急避孕知识。尽管进行这项研究的社区是保守的,但在研究人群中,紧急避孕药具的使用率很高。

Awareness and utilization of emergency contraceptives among female undergraduates in Kano: North west Nigeria
Unintended pregnancy remains a major challenge to the reproductive health of women, especially female undergraduates. It is a cause of unsafe abortions and their attendant complications and contributes significantly to maternal mortality, which can be prevented by the use of emergency contraceptive. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study which was carried out among 374 non-medical, non-allied medical sciences, non-basic medical sciences and nonpharmaceutical sciences female undergraduates of Bayero University Kano, Northwestern Nigeria. Self-administered questionnaires were used for data collection and analyzed using SPSS Version 23.0 Software. The Chi square test was used to test for association at p<0.05The age range of the respondents was 15-45 years, with mean age of 24.98±4.96 years. Most of the respondents were between the ages of 20-29 years. More than half of the respondents (260, 69.5%) were single. The majority of the respondents (334, 89.3%) were aware of emergency contraception. There was statistically significant association between sources of information and year of study with awareness of emergency contraception (p<0.05). Respondents in this study demonstrated good awareness and knowledge of emergency contraception. Despite the conservative nature of the community where this study was conducted, there was good level of utilization of emergency contraceptives in the study population.
