ABSTRACT: Introduction: Maternal mortality is still very high in Benin. Being one of the methods
of reducing this mortality, contraception is still very rarely used in Benin,
particularly in Borgou district. The objective of this work was to evaluate the
experience of using Jadelle contraceptive implants by women in the city of
Parakou in the Borgou department. Methodology: This was a descriptive
cross-sectional study, with retrospective and prospective data collection over
the period from March 1 to July 31, 2016. Results: A total of 320 women
were involved in the study. The mean age was 28.29 years, with extremes of 16
and 44 years. Socio-professionally, housewives predominated (56.88%). Sixty-eight
point forty-four percent of women were educated and only 111 (34.69%) women had
reached secondary school; married women were mostly represented. Obstetrically,
multi-gestures were the most affected (43.75%). Birth spacing was the main
reason for choosing Jadelle (48.13%). Majority of patients had their husbands
consent to use Jadelle contraceptive method (85.31%). Sixty-eight point
fifty-two percent of women had used this contraceptive method for 2 to 4 years.
Jadelle had been chosen by the majority (78.75%) of the women, for its long
duration of action and its easy use. The dropout rate for Jadelle was 35/320
(10.94%) after 3 years of use. The failure rate for this method was 0.31%
(1/320). The satisfaction rate was 87.5%. Conclusion: Jadelle
contraceptive implants are an important part of contraceptive methods in
Parakou.
