      Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria.
PG  - 43-51
AB  - BACKGROUND: Most women in extended post partum period often have desire to use 
      family planning. Disappointedly, majority of such women end up having unplanned 
      or unwanted children. Little is currently known about factors responsible for 
      such unmet family planning need among Nigerian women. OBJECTIVES: To assess the 
      prevalence and determinants of unmet need for post partum family planning (PPFP) 
      among women in Oyo State, south- west, Nigeria. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional 
      analytic study was carried out using systematic sampling technique among 444 
      women attending immunization clinic in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. A pre-tested 
      questionnaire was used for data collection and data analysis. was done using SPSS 
      version 17. Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used for 
      analysis. RESULT: The mean age of the respondents was 36?9. Majority (65.7%) of 
      the respondents demonstrated poor knowledge on PPFP. More than half (54.0%) of 
      them had unmet need for limiting while 46.0% had unmet need for spacing. Fear of 
      side effects was the commonest reason for lack of PPFP use (17.4%). Unmet need 
      was significantly associated with marital status, educational status and level of 
      awareness about PPFP. Level of awareness was the only significant predictor of 
      unmet need among our study participants (OR; 2.973, 95% C.I; 0.119-0.459). 
      CONCLUSION: Our study shows a high unmet need for PPFP among women in Ogbomoso, 
      thus there is need for a more programmatic focus on women in their extended post 
      partum periods. There is need for more awareness program on PPFP to increase 
      contraceptive uptake in Nigeria.
