Title : Knowledge and attitude on sexually transmitted infections among widows in Lagos State, Nigeria

Abstract:

The study examines the knowledge and attitudes of widows towards sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by analyzing the significance of various dependent and independent variables. The analysis reveals several key findings. Firstly, the overall model, as indicated by Pillai’s Trace value of 0.835, demonstrates the significant predictive power of the combination of independent variables concerning the dependent variables. The high F Hypothesis value of 127.058 further supports the robustness of the model fit, with a statistically significant Sig. value of 0.000, indicating the model's overall significance.

Moreover, the specific independent variables related to knowledge about diseases through sexual intercourse and awareness of means to prevent STIs also exhibit substantial contributions to the model. The Pillai’s Trace values of 0.238 and 0.315 for knowledge about diseases through sexual intercourse and awareness of means to prevent STIs, respectively, signify their significant impact on the dependent variables. The low Sig. values of 0.000 further confirm the statistical significance of the relationships between these variables and the dependent variables.

In conclusion, the analysis underscores the importance of knowledge about diseases through sexual intercourse and awareness of means to prevent STIs in shaping the knowledge and attitudes of widows towards STIs. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of targeted interventions and educational strategies aimed at promoting sexual health awareness and preventive practices among widows. This abstract provides a concise summary of the significance of the identified variables and their impact on the knowledge and attitudes of widows towards STIs, based on the data presented in the analysis.
