ABSTRACT
The study examined men's involvement in prevention of mother-to-child
transmission (PMTCT) ofl-IIV programmes in the Federal Teaching Hospital
Ido-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study aimed at identifying correlates of
PMTCT in the hospital. Questionnaires was used to elicit information from
eligible respondents in the study area. Response were analysed at univariate by
using simple frequency distribution and percentage. Cross- tabulation was done
to examine the relationship between men's involvement in PMTCT and other
selected variables. Multivariate analysis was done with the aid of logistic model.
Knowledge of PMTCT was the strongest factor which was positively
associated with the level of men's involvement in PMTCT. Socio-cultural and
programmatic factors were found to be negatively influencing men's
involvement in PMTCT while demographic characteristics, which were age
and level of education were positively associated with an increase in the level of
involvement in PMTCT. The duration of the relationship with the female
partner was also found to be positively associated with the level of men
involvement in PMTCT. The study concluded that factors that were positively
associated with men's involvement in PMTCT may help in choosing relevant intervention programmes to increase men's involvement in PMTCT programmes.
