dc.description.abstractDespite the rising of modern contraceptive (MC) uptake globally, there is still significant gap between intentions to use contraceptive and the actual use of it. Unavailability and stock-outs of preferred methods are one of the reasons for the gap. Understanding the intentions to use a MC among pregnant women attending antennal clinic is vital in designing service delivery for future MC users. Thus, this study seeks to investigate the intentions to use MC among antenatal care attendees of Adeoyo Maternity Hospital. A facility-based cross sectional study design was used in this study. A total of 323 pregnant women were recruited using a qualitative sampling technique. Frequency, proportion, Chi-square test and logistic regression were used. Majority (37.8%) of the women aged 25-29years. About 58.8% had tertiary education with 6.5% having primary education. Majority of the women who participated (88.9%) are married. Only 17.0% of the women had good knowledge of MC. About 60.1% of the women indicated they have ever used MC. The percentage of modern contraceptive use intentions was 38.1%. Women aged 30-34 years were 2.34 times more likely to have intentions to use contraceptives compared to women aged ≥35 (95% CI 1.07- 5.13). Women who said no to fertility desire were 1.8 times less likely to have intentions to use MC in contrast to those who said yes to fertility desire (95% CI 0.31- 0.97). In contrast to women with good knowledge of modern contraceptives, the AOR of intentions to use contraceptives was lesser among those with poor knowledge (AOR=0.41, 95% CI 0.21-0.81) and fair knowledge (AOR=0.66, 95% CI 0.34-1.25). Women age, fertility desire and knowledge of MC use were predictors of intentions to use MC. Programme that will ensures MC is used by women who expressed intentions is necessary.
