| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: Unmet need for family planning exceeds 38% in Tanzania. One approach to decreasing unmet need is promoting male involvement in family planning. Male disapproval of use of family planning by their female partners and misconceptions about side effects are barriers to family planning globally and in Tanzania. Researchers have conducted a number of qualitative studies in studies in recent years to examine different aspects of family of family planning among Tanzania men.<br/><br/>Objectives: to determine the knowledge and attitude on use of modern family planning methods among men who attend with their pregnant women at Makongoro RCH clinic.<br/><br/>Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude of contraceptive use among men who attend with their pregnant women at RCH clinic.<br/><br/>Results: this study showed that 98.6% of the participants had ever heard about contraceptives.97.9% were able to explain at least a single method of contraceptives and 68.8% were able to state 3-4 contraceptive methods. Condom was the most mentioned method with (97.8%) followed by pills (80.4%), injections (73.9%) and implants (73.2%) while tubal ligation was the least mentioned method with 13.8%. 65(47.1%) of participants responded that both male and female are responsible in contraceptives practices, 64(46.4%) said contraceptives practices is the responsibility of females. 106(76.8%) were ready to use contraceptives with their partners.<br/><br/>Conclusion: this study revealed that men who attend with their pregnant women at Makongoro RCH clinic had good knowledge about modern family planning. However, they had mixed attitude on who is responsible for contraceptives use between the female and male spouses.<br/><br/>Recommendations: the couple centred health services delivery policy at Makongoro RCH in which women are encouraged to come with their male partners during the RCH visit should be strengthened. Men should be encouraged to participate fully in family planning through methods made for them like condoms and vasectomy. Men should also be encouraged to support their spouses of family planning practices.<br/> |
