Introduction Differences in availability and choices of contraceptive methods among postpartum women have been found to influence their quality of life as the fertility rate is very high, and the contraceptive usage rate persistently remains low in Nigeria. Objectives This study assessed the determinants of contraceptive options among postpartum women in Nigeria. Methods Two Local Governments were randomly selected from the four Local Governments. Within these two local governments, five health facilities were selected. A multistage sampling technique was used to select the 240 respondents, while a structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Results Findings from the study indicated that 81.7% of the respondents have planned to have their current baby, and about 65.4% of the women have resumed sexual activities since delivery. Of those who have resumed sexual activities, the majority, 91.1% did so 6 weeks after delivery. Some form of contraceptive usage was prominent among 59.2% of the respondents, as the most common contraceptive method used was withdrawal (24.8%). Contraceptive prevalence was slightly lower for urban respondents than rural respondents, although the relationship was not significant. Also, there was a statistically significant relationship between the current use of contraceptives and resumption of sexual activities since delivery ( p = .001), resumption of menstruation ( p = .001), and information received about postpartum family planning ( p = 0.013). Conclusion Findings from this study emphasize the urgent need for enhanced accessibility and availability of contraceptive methods, with a parallel emphasis on targeted interventions and effective communication strategies to promote contraceptive uptake and family planning. Addressing these determinants is vital in improving postpartum women's overall quality of life in the study area.

Abstract The study investigated parental attitude towards children with sickle cell disease in selected health facilities in Irepodun Local Government, Kwara State, Nigeria. 80 participants were purposively selected for the study. A self-reporting questionnaire was used to collect the needed information from the parents of children with sickle cell disease. Simple percentage and Chisquare were used to analyze the data. Findings from the study showed that about 87% of the participants regretted having such children and gave reasons such as lack of enlightenment programme on sickle cell anemia, no genetic counseling, ill-disposition to pre-marital genotypic screening, inadequate medical facilities for adequate test for genotype in rural areas, gross misrepresentation and wrong perception of sickle cell disease, lack of knowledge of people on sickle cell disease and nonchalant attitude to the result of screening due to love and interest in one’s partners. It is therefore recommended that adequate mobilization of educative programmes on importance of pre-marital genetic counseling should be done, facilities should be provided for genotype screening freely for the members of the society, it should be made compulsory for all intending couples and where incompatibility exists, they should not be allowed to marry. The government should legislate in this area by not allowing marriages between non-compatible individuals and should provide free health service for sickle cell patients while their drugs should be made available in the clinics/hospitals.
