Аннотация
Five hundred sixty grandmultiparous women were interviewed as to their contraceptive awareness, desirability and use in the three major hospitals in Benin City, Nigeria, between October 1, 1980 and September, 1981. Their parity ranged from 5 to 14 with a mean of 6.7. There was high level of awareness of contraceptive availability and usefulness (65%), but low level of practice (27.1%). The main causes of the low practice level included opposition from husband and other relatives, complications of previous methods used and the desire to have a large family. Oral contraceptives were the preferred method, followed by intrauterine devices. Educational attainment had a positive relationship to acceptance of contraceptive practice. We believe that with more concerted effort at family planning counseling, the community will be rid of the hazards and menace of grandmultiparity.
