Abstract
This study investigated the knowledge, attitude and practice of family planning methods among healthcare providers in two selected health centres in Osogbo Local Government, Osun state. The study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge and attitude of healthcare providers towards family planning; to determine the extent to which the healthcare providers practice the family planning methods. The study sample was 50 healthcare providers that were purposively selected from Primary Health Center, OkeBaale and Comprehensive Health Centre, Isale- Agbara, both in Osogbo Local Government Area, Nigeria. The data was collected through self-structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using simple percentages and frequency counts. The result showed that a good number (98%) knew about family planning while about 44% of them knew all the methods listed in the questionnaire. The result also showed that the healthcare providers indicated different attitudes to family planning methods such that 77.6% believed that familyplanning does not make users promiscuous contrary to 22.4% of the respondents that believed it makes them promiscuous. More than half (68%) of the respondents use family planning themselves. On the basis of these findings, it was concluded that intensive inservice training, seminars/conference and other forms of enlightenment programmes on all methods of family planning should be put in place, such that they will be able to practice methods best suitable for them.
