Abstract
Background
To support the policy drive for the promotion of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of adolescents and young people (AYP), it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the existing SRH services available to them.
Objective
To assess the provision and experiences of care in SRH services for AYP in a Nigerian setting.
Methods
Twelve male and female mystery clients (MCs) conducted 144 visits at 27 selected primary and secondary health facilities in two Local Government Areas (LGA) in Ogun State, Nigeria. A 27-item adolescent quality of care (AHQOC) index with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.7 was used to obtain a quality-of-care score for each clinic visit. Linear panel-data random-effects regression models using the generalised least square estimator were used to assess quality associated factors. Sentiment analysis was done on the qualitative narrative summaries provided by MCs after each visit.
Results
There was an absence of the use of educational materials during the 60.4% of the visits. The MCs’ medical history (90.3%), social record (63.9%), sexual/reproductive history (53.5%), and contraceptive experience (66.0%) were not obtained in most of the visits. Female MC visits had a lower AHQOC index rating on average compared to males (β=-0.3, CI −1.6 – 1.0 p = 0.687), rural health facilities had a lower AHQOC index rating on average compared to urban (β=-2.7, CI −5.1 – −0.2, p = 0.031), and a higher ranking of the health worker on the scale of 1–10 corresponded to a higher AHQOC index of the MC visit (β = 1.9, CI 1.6–2.1, p < 0.001). There were more positive than negative sentiments about the clinic encounters.
Conclusion
This study found gaps in the competencies of the health workers, non-usage of educational materials in clinic encounters with young people, as well as the differential perception of quality of care by male and female AYP.
