| contents | <p><span lang="EN-GB">Reproductive health is a vital aspect of women’s overall well-being, yet numerous women in Nigeria encounter ongoing barriers to obtaining quality reproductive healthcare. This study examines the sociodemographic and cultural factors that affect access to reproductive health services and the decision-making processes surrounding contraceptive use among women in Ogbomoso, Nigeria.<strong> </strong>A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 354 women of reproductive age (15–49 years) in the Ogbomoso North Local Government Area. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using IBM SPSS (version 28). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and Spearman’s correlation were employed to explore the relationships among sociodemographic variables, cultural influences, and access to reproductive health services. The findings revealed that access to reproductive health services was relatively high, at 83.9% among respondents. Significant associations were found between access and services and marital status (p = 0.015) and employment status (p = 0.022). However, factors such as education level, income, religion, and place of residence did not show significant relationships. Cultural expectations were notably correlated with women’s autonomy in contraceptive use (ρ = 0.205, p < 0.01), whereas religious beliefs and leadership did not exhibit significant correlations. The major barriers identified included cost (93.6%), spousal disapproval (71.7%), and spiritual beliefs (60.3%). Socio-economic and cultural factors significantly shape women’s reproductive health choices in Ogbomoso. The paper, therefore, emphasizes targeted intervention to address financial barriers, encourage male participation, and challenge restrictive cultural norms to enhance access and autonomy in reproductive healthcare</span></p> |
