Alhamdulillahirabbil‘aalamiin all praise and gratitude I pray to Allah SWT who

has given instructions, help and taufik it so that the preparation of this task can run
well.
I would like to thanks the professor of Evidence Based Nursing Mother
Ns.Awatiful Azza, S.Kep.M.Kep.,Sp.Kep.Mat in the preparation of this task, not a
few obstacles that I face but I realize that the smoothness in the preparation of this
task is no other thanks to hard work and effort done maximally.
I also realize that this task is still far from perfect, therefore the constructive
critism and suggestions I always hope for the perfection of this task. Hopefully this
task can be useful for the parties in need, so the expected goal can be achieved. Amin

A. RESUME JOURNAL
HIV infection among women of child-bearing and mother-to-child

transmissions (MTCT) of HIV in Nigeria remain major health issues.

Curerntly, Nigeria alone accounts for 30% of the burden of mother-to-child

transmission of HIV. This review explores the socio-cultural factors

influencing prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT)

service uptake in Nigeria. Using the PEN-3 cultural model as a guide, we

searched electronic databases and conducted from 2001 to 2013 that reported

the perceptions people have towards PMTCT, the enablers/resources that

influence PMTCT service uptake and the role of nurturers/family or

community in shaping actions and decisions toward PMTCT service uptake.

A total of 42 articles meeting the search criteria were retained in this review.

Thirty-six were quantitative cross-sectional surveys, three were mixed

methods and while three were qualitative studies. The findings highlight that

there are perceptions, ranging from positive to negative that influence

PMTCT service uptake in Nigeria. Furthermore, lack of available, accessible,

acceptable and affordable resources negatively influence decisions and

actions towards PMTCT. Finally, family contexts matter with decisions and

actions toward PMTCT service uptake in Nigeria particularly with disclosure

and non-disclosure of sero-positive status, fertility intentions and infant

feeding choices. As ambitious doals are established and unprecedented

resources deployed towards the elimination of mother-to-child transmission

of HIV globally by 2015, there is clearly a need to develop effective family-

oriented, culture-centered community-based PMTCT programs in Nigeria so

as to improve the low uptake of PMTCT services.
