CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
of the study
In many communities in sub-Saharan Africa,
pregnancy is viewed as a ‘woman’s affair’, with a man’s role primarily to
provide financial support. Even where men view accompanying their partner to
antenatal clinics or PMTCT services as good practice, many still feels their
main role is to provide financing for registration and delivery fees (Nkuoh,
2010).
In many settings, traditional gender roles and cultural
beliefs mean that men often make decisions determining women’s participation in
HIV testing. For example, according to recent Demographic and Health
Surveys in Senegal, Niger, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria and Cameroon,
80% of married 15-19 year-old women do not have the final say on their own
healthcare (Pathfinder International 2013). Men also report negative attitudes
from community members when escorting their spouses to antenatal clinics.
1.2 Statement
of the study
Because of cultural beliefs, most men do not like
to accompany their wives to the antenatal clinics. Men who accompany their
wives to ANC are perceived to be weaklings by their peers. For this
reason, this pertinent question formed the birth rock of this study: what
are the cultural beliefs and gender dynamics of pmtct services among pregnant
women.
1.3 Objectives
of the study
The main objective of this study is to examine
diabetes a leading causes of death in Nigeria, how nurses through education and
health promotion could increase diabetes awareness among Nigeria. But for the
successful completion of the study; the researcher intends to achieve the
following sub-objectives;
i.
To investigate the causes
of diabetes in Nigeria
ii.
To ascertain the extent of
diabetes awareness carryout by Nigeria Government
iii.
To investigate the role of
health practitioners in reducing the adverse effect of diabetes
iv.
To suggest possible
solution to the identified problem.
1.4 Research
Hypothesis
The following hypothesis have been prepared for
the study:
H0: health practitioners do not play any role in
reducing the adverse effect of diabetes
H1: health practitioners does play a role in
reducing the adverse effect of diabetes
H02: there are no diabetes awareness programs
carried out by the government own medical centers in the rural communities
H2: there is diabetes awareness programs carried
out by the government own medical centers in the rural communities
1.5 Significance
of the study
It is believed that at the completion of the
study, the findings will be of benefit to ministry of health. The study
educates nurses on how to educate, prevent and manage diabetes. The study will
also be of great benefit to the researchers who intends to embark on research
on similar topics as it will serve as a guide. Finally, the study will be of
great importance to academia’s, lecturers, teachers, students and the general
public.
1.6 Scope
of the study
The study will investigate the causes of diabetes
in Nigeria. The study will also ascertain the extent of diabetes awareness
carryout by Nigeria Government. The study will further investigate the role of
health practitioners in reducing the adverse effect of diabetes. Lastly, the
study will suggest possible solution to the identified problem. Hence, the
study is delimited to the state specialist hospital Akure, Ondo State.
1.7 Limitation
of the study
Like in every
human endeavour, the researchers encountered slight constraints while carrying
out the study. The significant constraint was the large literature on the discourse of diabetes as a leading causes of
death in Nigeria,. Thus much time and organization was required in sourcing for
the relevant materials, literature, or information and in the process of data
collection. Also the study is limited in sample size and geography covering
only Ondo State.
