This cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to assess the knowledge and perceptions of infertility among 360 male artisans in Nnewi North Local Government Area, Anambra State. The study utilized a multi-stage probability sampling method to select participants from two villages. Data was collected via interviewer-administered questionnaires covering socio-demographics, knowledge, and perceptions. The study hypothesized that most male artisans would have limited accurate knowledge about infertility causes (20%) and treatments (30%), as well as negative cultural perceptions blaming women (50%). Data analysis using SPSS v26 found only 17% had adequate knowledge of causes, while 28% understood appropriate treatments. A majority (63%) held the perception that infertility is a woman’s issue. Chi-square tests confirmed significant associations between low education levels and poor fertility knowledge (p0.05). The findings revealed considerable gaps in infertility knowledge and pervasive negative sociocultural biases against women in this population, supporting the hypothesis. Recommendations focus on educational interventions to improve fertility awareness (80% target), dispel myths (20%), and reduce female stigmatization (30%). Overall, this study guides public health efforts to address the substantial medical and societal challenges surrounding infertility in Nigeria....Preview Download Preview +Other Nursing Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Factors contributing to ineffective utilization of immunization programme among mothers in Ekwerazu town Ahiazu Mbaise local government area Imo state»Awareness of female genital mutilation and its implication to reproductive health among mothers in Amaifeke in Orlu local government, Imo state»Accessibility and use of information communication technology (ICT) in the enhancement of nursing education among nursing students in Madonna University Teaching Hospital (MUTH)»Factors influencing the attitudes of women toward family planning in Rivers state»Assessment of nutritional pattern and practice among pregnant women in holy rosary hospital»Assessment of exclusive breastfeeding in the development of under-five children in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Awareness and practice of pressure sores prevention in the care of the elderly among nurses in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Knowledge and practice of quality assurance among nurses working in accident and emergency unit of University of Ilorin teaching hospital, Kwara state»Awareness of determinants of sexual abuse and identification of supportive care among female nursing student of Madonna University»Assessment of practices used in the prevention of Lassa fever infection among health workers in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Factors that influence the patronage of traditional birth attendants in Umuowa community Orlu Lga, Imo State»Attitude of nurses towards research among accident and emergency nurses of University of Ilorin teaching hospital»Burnout syndrome and use of therapeutic approaches among nursing students in Madonna University, Rivers state»Incidence of protein energy malnutrition among children under five years in General Hospital, Yelwa Yauri, Kebbi state»Factors influencing high rate of abortion among women of childbearing age in Saki, Saki West Local Government Area, Oyo State
