The type of research design that was used to study this problem was correlation. This was a non-experimental design used to examine the relationships among variables as
they occur without being controlled. The study drew a sample of five
hundred and twenty - nine participants (529). The information was be collected over a period of three weeks through a questionnaire that was be provided to the participants understudy. Later it was analysed on the computer using a statistical package for social science (SPSS) for windows. The limitations of this study included poor representation of participant because only two regions were used, central and southern regions. Another limitation is that the group of participants chosen was not chosen by random sampling but rather chosen from a certain specific area. It is hoped that the results of this study will help the nursing profession and nursing research on how marital status and gender influence one's willingness to test for HIV/AID. |
