RESUMO
Introduction: Improving Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Adolescent Health Plus Nutrition (RMNCAH+N) indicators is a challenge for health systems, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of this study was to identify barriers and facilitators to the use of RMNCAH+N services in areas with low indicators in Cote d'Ivoire. Methods: A qualitative case study was conducted in September 2021, with 76 beneficiaries of RMNCAH+N services in the health districts of Boundiali, Toulepleu and Tanda. Individual interviews (09) and focus groups (09) were conducted with community leaders/tradi-practitioners/midwives and pregnant women/ women of childbearing age/men who have or are responsible for a child under the age of 5, respectively. A thematic analysis was performed after coding the data in NVivo 12. Results: Barriers to utilization of RMNCAH+N services were unavailability of certain equipment/amenities, disrespectful care in some RMNCAH+N services, women's lack of financial autonomy, lack of autonomy in decision making, and male healthcare providers. Facilitators identified were geographic accessibility, men's involvement in the mother-child dyad's health, and community awareness. Conclusion: Improving utilization of RMNCAH+N services requires the implementation of interventions that address these barriers and facilitators, such as raising community awareness of RMNCAH+N services and promoting respectful, patient-centered, humanized care among healthcare providers.
Introduction: L'amélioration des indicateurs de santé reproductive, maternelle, néonatale, infantile et adolescente et de la nutrition (SRMNIA+N) représente un challenge pour les systèmes de santé, principalement ceux des pays d'Afrique subsaharienne. Cette étude avait pour objectif d'identifier les barrières et facilitateurs à l'utilisation des services de SRMNIA+N dans les zones à faibles indicateurs en Côte d'Ivoire. Méthodes: Une étude de cas par approche qualitative auprès de 76 bénéficiaires des services de SRMNIA+N a été menée en septembre 2021 dans les districts sanitaires de Boundiali, Toulepleu et Tanda. Des entretiens individuels et des discussions de groupe (focus groups) ont été organisés respectivement auprès des leaders communautaires, tradipraticiens ou matrones et des femmes enceintes ou en âge de procréer et des hommes ayant la charge d'un enfant de moins de 5 ans. Une analyse thématique a été réalisée après codage des données dans NVivo 12. Résultats: Les barrières à l'utilisation des services de SRMNIA+N étaient la non-disponibilité de certains équipements ou commodités, les soins irrespectueux dans certains services de SRMNIA+N, le manque d'autonomie financière et/ou décisionnelle des femmes et la présence de prestataires de sexe masculin. Les facilitateurs identifiés étaient : l'accessibilité géographique, l'implication des hommes dans la santé du couple mère/enfant, la sensibilisation de la population. Conclusion: L'amélioration de l'utilisation des services de SRMNIA+N nécessite la mise en Åuvre d'interventions adressant ces barrières et facilitateurs tels que la sensibilisation de la communauté sur les services de SRMNIA+N, la promotion auprès des prestataires de santé des soins humanisés respectueux et centrés sur le patient.

In Côte d'Ivoire, contraceptive prevalence is low (21%). The search for determinants of contraceptive use could make it possible to redirect existing strategies. The objective is to identify the determinants of the use of contraception among women in Abidjan. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from May to June 2018 in the Dallas neighborhood of Adjamé municipal (Abidjan). Women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years old) were selected there. Sociodemographic, gyneco-obstetrical characteristics, educational level, attitudes and practices of women on contraception were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyzes were performed. A total of 301 women aged 29.34±8.98 years were selected. The proportion of women using modern contraception was 27.24%. In univariate analysis, the factors associated with use were: level of education (p=0.005), unwanted pregnancies (p=0.017), abortions (p<0.001), consultation of the gynecologist (p=0.003) or a family planning service (p=0.001). Hearing about contraception (p=0.043), knowing (p<0.001) and talking about it with their partner (p=0.027) was significantly associated with its use. In the multivariate analyses, the women who consulted a gynecologist and those who knew the contraceptive methods used them respectively 2 times more (OR= 2.16 [1.14-4.15], p=0.019) and 22 times more (OR= 22.38 [8.42-78.56], p<0.001). Women with primary school education used them significantly less (OR= 0.15 [0.05-0.41], p<0.001). Awareness, the gynecologist's consultation, and the level of education were the main determinants of contraceptive use. Also, it is necessary to adapt awareness messages to the characteristics of women.
