This study assessed the knowledge, utilization, and effects of family planning among women of reproductive age in Amanuke community, Awka North Local Government Area, Anambra State. It also examined the influence of socio-demographic factors such as age and religion on family planning practices. A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed, using structured questionnaires to collect data from 270 respondents selected through a simple random sampling technique. The data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, and chi-square tests to determine significant relationships between socio-demographic variables and family planning practices. The results revealed that knowledge of family planning was relatively low, with 45.2% of respondents aware of family planning and 47.4% unaware. Utilization was poor, as 55.6% of respondents were not using any method of family planning, and 51.9% were unsure of how family planning methods prevent pregnancy. Condoms (25.9%) and abstinence (31.1%) were the most used methods. Analysis of the hypotheses showed a significant relationship between age and family planning strategies (p< 0.05) and between religion and utilization of family planning (p< 0.05). The study concludes that inadequate knowledge, cultural beliefs, and religious influences are significant barriers to effective family planning in Amanuke community. It recommends targeted health education, culturally sensitive counseling, and collaboration with community and religious leaders to improve family planning awareness and acceptance. Future studies should explore male involvement and the impact of integrated educational interventions on family planning adoption. These findings emphasize the importance of tailored interventions to address socio-demographic and cultural barriers, ultimately improving reproductive health outcomes in rural communities...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»Knowledge and practice of quality assurance among nurses working in accident and emergency unit of University of Ilorin teaching hospital, Kwara state»Awareness of female genital mutilation and its implication to reproductive health among mothers in Amaifeke in Orlu local government, Imo state»Factors that influence the patronage of traditional birth attendants in Umuowa community Orlu Lga, 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)»Attitude of nurses towards research among accident and emergency nurses of University of Ilorin teaching hospital»Awareness and practice of pressure sores prevention in the care of the elderly among nurses in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Incidence of protein energy malnutrition among children under five years in General Hospital, Yelwa Yauri, Kebbi state»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»Burnout syndrome and use of therapeutic approaches among nursing students in Madonna University, Rivers state»Assessment of practices used in the prevention of Lassa fever infection among health workers in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Factors influencing high rate of abortion among women of childbearing age in Saki, Saki West Local Government Area, Oyo State»Awareness of determinants of sexual abuse and identification of supportive care among female nursing student of Madonna University
