摘要

背景:提高生育意识可以帮助不育夫妇实现怀孕。目的:本研究旨在确定尼日利亚已婚育龄妇女生育意识的预测因素和水平。方法:全国横断面调查。数据通过在线和面对面的问卷调查收集。描述性和推断性分析采用SPSS 25. 结果:大多数受访者的结婚年龄在24-29岁之间(40%)，略多于一半的人有良好的生育意识(53%)。相关因素为初潮年龄(X2 = 9.962, p = 0.007)、居住地(X2 = 17.301, p = 0.008)、文化程度(X2 = 64.843, p <0.001)、就业状况(X2 = 9.319 p = 0.025)、月经周期图表(X2 = 66.392, p <0.001)，利用互联网提高意识(X2 = 39.849, p <0.001)和书籍(X2 = 58.855, p <0.001)。中等学历人群的生育意识低于研究生(AOR=0.213, 95% CI 0.116 ~ 0.390, p <0.001)。此外，那些没有记录月经周期的女性拥有良好生育意识的几率更低(AOR=0.363, 95% CI 0.245-0.538, p <0.001)强生# x0D;结论:月经周期图表和文化程度是生育意识的预测指标。关键词:尼日利亚;生育能力;教育的地位;月经周期;互联网。

Predictors of fertility awareness among selected married women of childbearing age in Nigeria: a cross-sectional survey

Background: Increased fertility awareness can help infertile couples to achieve pregnancy. Objectives: This study aimed to determine both the predictors and levels of fertility awareness among married Nigerian women of childbearing age. Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional survey. Data were collected via online and face to face questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential analysis were done with SPSS 25. Results: Most respondents married between ages 24-29 years old (40%) and just over half had good fertility awareness (53%). The associated factors were age at menarche (X2 = 9.962, p = 0.007), geopolitical zone of residence (X2 = 17.301, p = 0.008), level of education (X2 = 64.843, p < 0.001), employment status (X2 = 9.319 p = 0.025) menstrual cycle charting (X2 = 66.392, p < 0.001), use of internet to increase awareness (X2 = 39.849, p < 0.001) and books (X2 = 58.855, p < 0.001). Fertility awareness was lower for those with secondary education than postgraduates (AOR=0.213, 95% CI 0.116-0.390, p < 0.001). Moreover, the odds of having good fertility awareness were less in those who did not chart their menstrual cycle (AOR=0.363, 95% CI 0.245-0.538, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Menstrual cycle charting and level of education were predictors of fertility awareness. Keywords: Nigeria; fertility; educational status; menstrual cycle; internet.
