Men Involvement In Prevention Of Motther to- Child Transmission In Hiv Programmes In Federal Teaching Hospital Ido-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria

ABSTRACT

The study examined men's involvement in prevention of mother-to-child

transmission (PMTCT) ofl-IIV programmes in the Federal Teaching Hospital

Ido-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study aimed at identifying correlates of

PMTCT in the hospital. Questionnaires was used to elicit information from

eligible respondents in the study area. Response were analysed at univariate by

using simple frequency distribution and percentage. Cross- tabulation was done

to examine the relationship between men's involvement in PMTCT and other

selected variables. Multivariate analysis was done with the aid of logistic model.

Knowledge of PMTCT was the strongest factor which was positively

associated with the level of men's involvement in PMTCT. Socio-cultural and

programmatic factors were found to be negatively influencing men's

involvement in PMTCT while demographic characteristics, which were age

and level of education were positively associated with an increase in the level of

involvement in PMTCT. The duration of the relationship with the female

partner was also found to be positively associated with the level of men

involvement in PMTCT. The study concluded that factors that were positively

associated with men's involvement in PMTCT may help in choosing relevant intervention programmes to increase men's involvement in PMTCT programmes.
