■有必要了解宗教领袖对现代避孕药具使用的看法及其在影响生育行为中的作用,以成功采用计划生育,特别是在宗教领袖的社会中,“意见可以对个人的生殖决定产生重大影响”。这项研究,因此,旨在评估布基纳法索萨赫勒地区宗教领袖的计划生育知识及其对计划生育方案的参与。
这是一项定性研究,包括对布基纳法索萨赫勒地区多里镇21位宗教领袖的深入个人访谈。采访指南用于数据收集。本采访指南是根据为研究确定的中心主题和子主题制定的,即,宗教领袖对现代避孕的知识,包括有关宗教活动期间现代避孕以及宗教领袖与生殖健康服务之间关系的信息。所有访谈均使用MicrosoftWord以法语进行记录和转录。然后对逐字进行编码以进行内容分析。所选用的分析方法是专题分析法。
■研究结果表明,宗教领袖对计划生育有很好的了解,包括现代避孕方法和通过生育间隔调节生育。关于他们参与计划生育方案,宗教领袖说他们参与得不够多。然而,研究结果表明,领导者不愿推广使用FP方法。
■虽然宗教领袖对计划生育很熟悉,他们仍然不愿意在自己的社区推广使用现代避孕方法。要做到这一点,需要努力在计划生育方案中提高他们的认识和动员他们。当地宗教领袖的合作将有助于促进计划生育,并通过实现该国的人口红利来改善布基纳法索在可持续发展目标方面的表现。
UNASSIGNED: It is necessary to understand religious leaders\' perceptions of modern contraceptive use and their role in influencing fertility behaviour for the successful adoption of family planning, especially in societies where the religious leaders\' opinions can have a significant influence on individuals\' reproductive decisions. This study, therefore, aimed to assess religious leaders\' knowledge of family planning and their involvement in family planning programmes in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso.
UNASSIGNED: This is a qualitative study comprising in-depth individual interviews with twenty-one religious\' leaders in the town of Dori in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso. An interview guide was used for data collection. This interview guide was developed based on the central themes and sub-themes determined for the research, namely, the religious leaders\' knowledge of modern contraception, the inclusion of information on modern contraception during religious activities and the relationship between religious leaders and reproductive health services. All interviews were recorded and transcribed in French using Microsoft Word. The verbatims were then coded for content analysis. The analysis method chosen was that of thematic analysis.
UNASSIGNED: The results of the study showed that religious leaders had good knowledge about family planning including modern contraceptive methods and fertility regulation through birth spacing. Regarding their involvement in family planning programme, religious leaders said they were not involved enough. However, the results of the study showed that leaders are reluctant to promote the use of FP methods.
UNASSIGNED: Although religious leaders are knowledgeable about family planning, they are still reluctant to promote the use of modern contraceptive methods in their communities. To do so, efforts are needed to sensitise and mobilise them in family planning programmes. The cooperation of local religious leaders will help promote family planning and improve Burkina Faso\'s performance on the Sustainable Development Goals through the achievement of the demographic dividend in the country.
