3. Introduction
Nigeria is one of the disadvantaged nation that account for the highest number of pregnant women living with HIV (Unaids.org, 2016)
PMTCT programme commenced in Nigeria in July 2002 with the goals of providing effective PMTCT services to women of reproductive age (WHO/UNICEF/UNAIDS, 2011)

4. Introduction
Reliable and accurate public health information is essential towards achieving the United Nations Development Goals and hence the need for high-quality data (Avertorg, 2016)
Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the knowledge and practice of documentation among health workers

5. Statement of the Problem
There is a poor documentation practice of PMTCT program in Nigeria
Majority of health workers are less informed about PMTCT services and documentation

6. Justification
PMTCT of HIV is very important in saving life of exposed infant and reducing effect of disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, effective documentation of PMTCT program is critical in making informed decision to improve service delivery.
Effective PMTCT documentation will bridge the knowledge gap that can affect the quality of data generated as a result of poor documentation practices.

7. OBJECTIVES
1. Assess the knowledge of health workers about PMTCT services documentation
2. Explore the practices in health workers regarding PMTCT services documentation
3. Come up with recommendations.

8. METHODOLOGY
Study location
Health Facilities in 23 Local Government Areas (LGA), Oyo state, South-west Nigeria.
Study Population
Health workers trained on PMTCT documentation in selected PMTCT provider facilities.
Study design
Cross- sectional descriptive study.

9. METHODOLOGY Cont’nd Sample Size Determination
The sample size was determined from the formula:
N= (Z1-α /∂) 2 x p (1-p)
≈ 401
Sampling technique: multistage sampling technique.
1st stage: 23 LGAs were selected.
2nd Stage: selection of 113 health facilities.
3rd Stage: selection of respondents from
facilities

10. Data Analysis and Ethical approval
Data analysis: SPSS version19
Level of statistical significance was p≤0.05
Ethical approval was sought from the Oyo State Ministry of Ethical Research Committee, Ibadan.

11. RESULTS 1. Frequency of Respondents per LGAs

12. 2. Social Demographic Characteristics of the Respondents

13. 3. Respondents Knowledge about PMTCT

14. 4. Knowledge about PMTCT tools among the Respondents

15. 5. Practices of PMTCT Data Documentation

16. 5. Association between Socio-demographic Characteristics and Practices of PMTCT Data Documentation

17. Discussion Objectives Findings Existing Literature
1. Assess the knowledge of health workers about PMTCT services documentation
Respondents have good knowledge of PMTCT services documentation
Level of knowledge affected by types of facility and designation of health workers
Highly skilled personnel are recruited to public facility and they are exposed to more capacity building opportunities
2. Explore the practices in health workers regarding PMTCT services documentation
Most respondents carried out documentation using appropriate tools
Corroborated
Similar findings
3. Come up with recommendations
Retraining of health workers on PMTCT tools
Simplification of tools
Similar findings by Wilkins et al., 2008

18. CONCLUSION
Most of the respondents have good knowledge of PMTCT documentation but level of knowledge is affected by facility type and workers designation

19. Recommendations
Re-training of health workers on current PMTCT tools is very essential
There should be routine supervisory and mentoring visit by implementing partners to health facilities
Further research on knowledge and practices of HIV counseling and testing as well as ART treatment documentations is suggested.
