Introduction: The aim was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of female staff on family planning at the Flamboyants Communal Medical Center. Methods: This was a 3-month cross-sectional, prospective, descriptive and analytical study involving women (doctors, midwives, laboratory technicians and nurses) working at the Flamboyants CMC and agreeing to participate in the study. Results: The contraceptive prevalence was 61.9%. All respondents were aware of FP (100%). The most commonly cited contraceptive methods were: the intrauterine device (IUD) at 85.7%, the Jadelle implant (79.4%) and the contraceptive pill (68.3%). More than 8 out of 10 respondents (81.0%) were in favor of using family planning. Most of the respondents, 74.5%, discussed family planning with their spouses and 70.2% of the spouses were in favor of FP. The most frequently used method was the pill (59.0%). The factors associated with the use of FP were: dialogue with the spouse on contraception (p = 0.018), marriage (p = 0.012) and good attitude of the spouse towards FP (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Improving this prevalence would require the involvement of spouses and midwives during counseling during antenatal and postpartum follow-up.
