| description | The general objective of the research study was to find out knowledge level, awareness of behavioral change information and its impact on the Muona community. Specifically it looked into the knowledge levels and awareness of BCI in relation to HIV/AIDS prevention. It also looked into the factors that hinder effectiveness of the BCI. It was intended to solicit suggestions from community members on how BCI should presented in order to achieve the intended purpose in the community. It assessed perception on how to avoid the risky social and cultural practices that predispose people to HIV/ADS infection. In the sample a total sample of thirty (30) was used of which 53.3% (n=16) were females and 46.7% (n—14) were males. This sample was comprised of students and village members were 36.6% (n=l l ). Participants were recruited through convenient method at the school and in their homes. Data collection was done using a semi-structured questionnaire with closed and open ended questions. It was tested during the pilot study that allowed for corrections and reliability. Data were analysed using SPSS and content analysis under the guidance of the supervisor. This has minimised errors on the study findings. The study findings will be communicated to the community. A copy of findings shall be made available at Kamuzu College of Nursing Library, Trinity school of Nursing Library and at Fatima Community Day Secondary School Library. |
