Objectif: L’objectif de cette étude était d’identifier les déterminants de l’utilisation des contraceptifs parmi les femmes rencontrées au service de gynéco-obstétrique de l’Hôpital Général de Référence de Bagira. Matériels et méthodes: Une étude transversale a été conduite de mars à avril 2013. Un total de 162 femmes âgées de 20 à 45 ans a participé à cette étude. L’échantillonnage occasionnel a été utilisé. L’outil de recueil des données était un questionnaire d’enquête. Les tests de chi-carré et de régression logistique ont été utilisés. Résultats: Parmi ces femmes, 60,5% utilisaient une méthode contraceptive pendant la période d’étude. Les pilules et les préservatifs étaient les méthodes les plus utilisées. Les croyances religieuses et la crainte des effets secondaires constituaient les principales barrières à la pratique contraceptive. Les déterminants de la pratique contraceptive étaient l’attitude favorable de la femme face à la contraception, l’implication du mari dans l’utilisation du contraceptif, le dialogue conjugal sur la planification familiale et le désir de ne plus avoir d’enfant (p<0,05). Conclusion: Cette étude recommande l’intensification des séances de sensibilisation de la population et l’offre de meilleurs conseils qui amèneraient à une meilleure acceptabilité des méthodes contraceptives dans cet hôpital.
