Abstract

INTRODUCTION

infertility is a source of distress for couples considering the high accolade placed on having children in family settings in Nigeria. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) offer a chance for parenthood to couples. However, studies on knowledge of ARTs abound in Nigeria but no previous studies exist on the extent of utilization of assisted reproductive technologies. This study thus explored the level of awareness, perceived efficacy, and utilization of ARTs among women attending fertility clinics in a Nigerian Tertiary Health Institution.

METHODS

this cross-sectional study which utilized a self-administered questionnaire was adopted for this study. The questionnaire contains five sections with sections A to E bordering on demographics, awareness, perceived efficacy, utilization, and factors influencing utilization respectively.

RESULTS

one hundred and seven women with infertility problems, aged between 26 and 35 years with a mean age of 31.46 ±5.72 participated in the study. Sixty-two patients (57.9%) were aware of ARTs while 97 (90.7%) believed that ART cannot address male infertility. Only 27 (25.2%) admitted to having used ART procedures before while 82 patients (76.6%) stated that the cost of the procedure was the major hindrance to use.

CONCLUSION

awareness of ARTs is average while there is low utilization and perceived efficacy of ART. The high cost of the procedure remains the major setback to its utilization.

摘要

简介

在尼日利亚的家庭环境中，孩子被高度重视，因此不孕不育会给夫妻双方带来困扰。辅助生殖技术（ART）为想要孩子的夫妇提供了为人父母的机会。然而，在尼日利亚，关于辅助生殖技术的知识的研究很多，但之前还没有关于辅助生殖技术利用程度的研究。因此，本研究旨在探讨在尼日利亚一家三级医疗机构就诊的生育诊所的妇女对辅助生殖技术的认知、感知效果和利用程度。

方法

本研究采用横断面研究，使用了自我管理问卷。问卷包含五个部分，A 至 E 部分分别涉及人口统计学、认知、感知效果、利用以及影响利用的因素。

结果

共有 107 名患有不孕问题的年龄在 26 至 35 岁之间的女性（平均年龄为 31.46 ±5.72 岁）参与了这项研究。62 名患者（57.9%）知晓辅助生殖技术，而 97 名患者（90.7%）认为辅助生殖技术无法解决男性不育问题。仅有 27 名患者（25.2%）承认之前曾接受过辅助生殖技术程序，而 82 名患者（76.6%）表示该程序的费用是主要障碍。
