1.3 Purpose of the Study
The
general purpose of this study is to assess the influence of parental
monitoring and religious activities on sexual abstinence in some
selected secondary schools in Ilorin West LGA of Kwara State.
The study is guided by the following research questions.
(1)
To what extent will parental monitoring jointly predict sexual
abstinence among in-school adolescents in Ilorin West LGA of Kwara
State.
(2) Is there any relationship between the independent
variables (parental monitoring and religious influence) and the
dependent variable (sexual abstinence) among in-school adolescents in
Ilorin West LGA of Kwara State.
(3) What is the relative
contribution of parental monitoring and religious influence on sexual
abstinence among in-school adolescents in Ilorin West LGA of Kwara
State.
1.4 Significance of the Study
This study will benefit
students especially, the female because, some of the adverse effects of
school activities are treated in this research while the benefits that
awaits those who could refrain from sexual activities are also discussed
i.e. those who engages in it jeopardizes their future career
opportunities by dropping out of school due to unintended pregnancy and
abortion to include the loose of lives while those who refrain will set
the sky as their limit in academic and career pursuit. Ultimately, the
killer endemic disease HIV/AIS and other STDs awaits those who practices
sexual; activities while those who refrain enjoys their God given
life.
Parents stand vagary of chances to benefit
from this study in that, those parents who are myopic of the fact that
HIV/AIDS and other SIDs exist and those who are aware would be able to
use knowledge gained from this study to protect their wards through
words of advise and motivation especially, enlightening them on the
dangers in sex before marriage and the shame it can cause the family. It
will enable parents to enlighten wards on the existing cultural,
Biblical and Koranic beliefs as regards sex before marriage as to as
reduce sexual activities among adolescents.
Schools will
benefit from this study by organizing sexual abstinence programmes for
students as did by Federal Government of Nigeria in 1997; a programmer
which several numbers of student benefitted from. Important information
on sexual abstinence could help pupils manage their health. Evaluation
of comprehensive sex education programme shows that these programmes
could help youth delay onset of sexual activity, reduce the frequency of
sexual activity, reduce number of sexual partners, and increase condom
and contraceptive use. Importantly, the evidence shows youth who receive
comprehensive sex education are not more likely to become sexually
active, increase sexual activity, or experience negative sexual health
outcomes.
