5.1 Discussion of Findings:
The study was carried out to determine the importance of planning methods among women of child bearing age (15-45years in Moba urban, Moba Local government area of Otun Ekiti State Nigeria.
One hundred and twenty (120) copies of questionnaire were distributed and 100 copies were properly filled and returned making 100% return rate. From the analysis of the data collected it was observed that 95% of the respondents were above 25 years of age as shown in table 4.1 on age distribution of the respondents table 4.2 revealed that majority of the respondents were married 85%, 4% were devoiced and only 1% is widowed.
On the educational background of the respondents table 4.3 showed that 20% of the respondents had primary education, 45% has secondary education, 22% has NCE. diploma and 3% had HND/Degree indicating the majority of the respondent were educated. This has shown in the level of their awareness knowledge on the availability of family planning services. Table 4.4 showed that nearly all the respondent 98% were Christians with only 2% being Muslim from Table 4.5 it has been revealed that only 6% of the respondents were complete housewife while the rest 94% had something doing to help themselves ranging from civil servant to faming with majority being trades. Table 4.6 showed that all the respondents had children with majority as then 65% having children 4 and above
For research question 1, results of the findings from table 4.7-4.9 revealed that 100% of the respondents. Were aware of the family planning service, and 88% actually knows the different methods available this might be due to their level of education, showing that the level of awareness of family planning services had increase tremendously when compared to Odimegwu (1999) who stated that in the 1981-1982 Nigerian fertility survey showed only 34% of all women reported to have heard of family planning service. Table 4.10 and figure I indicated that larger percentage of the respondents 85% acknowledged that contraceptive drugs are used to stop pregnancy while only few 15% does not Table 4:11-4.15 and figure 2here used to answer research question 2. Table 4.11 revealed that majority of respondents 90% are on the onion that the ideal number of children for the children for the family should be from 4 and above while only 10% said 1-3 should be ideal for family. In Table 4.12. It is revealed that 90% of the respondents believed that family planning is used in preventing wanted pregnancy. 75% of the respondents in the table 4.13 think family planning can prevent women from having more children while said it cannot, in Table 4.14 majority of the respondents 30% are of the opinion that children are gift from God and that it is a taboo to prevent the gift of God from coming while 20% did not agree with them the resultant effect is as shown in table 4.15 and figure 2 which revealed the level of utilization of the different family planning methods. ** of the 88% of respondents that had the knowledge of different method of family planning 13% used intar uterine contraceptive device 15% used injectables 10%-oral pills 30% condom, 10% withdrawal were educated and had adequate knowledge about the need of family planning, personal values has affected their level of utilizing the family planning methods. This statement, had confirmed what Rakeah; value system (1973) says what value (i.e standards that guide on-going activities) of a women will make her have right or wrong attitude towards family planning.
Research question 3:- talked about the role of socio-economic/cultural factors that influences the utilization of family planning methods. Table 4.16-4.20 were used to answer the question. Table 4.16 revealed that the money paid for family planning services prevent mothers, from using this services as confirmed by the number of respondents 98% while only 2% is on the contrary view Table 4.17 indicated that 65% of the respondents agreed that cultural practice do not prevent them from using family planning methods. Table 4.18 60% of the respondents indicated that their cultural practices do prevent the use of the family planning methods. Table 4.18 60% of the respondents indicated that their religion does not permit the use of family planning while 40% said their religion does not stop them from using family planning methods. In table 4.19 and 4.20, 97% of the respondents said that fear of side effects of family planning methods prevents women from utilizing the family planning services, perhaps this could be the reason why their husbands also does not allow them to use family planning in spacing their children as shown in table 4.9 where 80% of the respondents attested that their husband is not in support of their using family planning services, the implication of the above findings is that socio economic status, culture, religion and husband are the reasons why most women did not use contraceptive devices.
This has gone to confirm what harkreader and Hozan in 2004 have said that socio-economic, cultural, religion and husband are the reasons why most women did not use contraceptive devices.
This has gone to confirm what harkreades and Hozan in 2004 have said that socio-economic, cultural beliefs and religions has affected the use of family planning services. The further highlighted also that women’s decision to use or not to use a contraceptive methods are effected by the attitude of their partners.
