Abstract

Introduction: Malaria infection during pregnancy is more pronounced in endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa and is a major risk factor for maternal and child morbidity and mortality. Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) is presented as an effective way of combating malaria. This study aims to identify the different factors that may influence the use of IPTp by pregnant women in Burkina Faso. Methods: The data used in this study were derived from two rounds of the Malaria Indicator Surveys (MISs) conducted in Burkina Faso in 2014 and 2017. The sample for this study consisted of women aged 15–49 years who had had a live birth in the two years prior to the survey and who might or might not have received IPTp doses. Data analysis was performed using the Stata 15 software. Bivariate analysis and a logistic regression model were used to determine the associated factors. Results: The study results show that 56% and 63% of pregnant women had received at least three or more doses of IPTp during pregnancy in 2014 and 2017, respectively. For the 2014 survey, religion, education level, household standard of living, region of residence and type of caregiver were the significant factors associated with receiving three or more doses of IPTp, while those in the 2017 survey were household standard of living, region of residence and access to malaria information. Conclusion: Plausible interventions to increase the reception of at least three doses of IPTp during pregnancy by explaining the benefits of SP could help to effectively control malaria in women and thus increase foetal and infant survival at birth.
