1.6 Statement of hypotheses
To guide the researcher, the following research hypotheses were formulated:
Educational qualification of pregnant women would not have any
significant influence on the prevention of anaemia among pregnant women
in IbesikpoAsutan Local Government Area of AkwaIbom State.
Nutritional status of pregnant women would not have any significant
influence on the prevention of anaemia among pregnant women in
IbesikpoAsutan Local Government Area of AkwaIbom State.
Attitude
of pregnant women would not have any significant influence on the
prevention of anaemia among pregnant women in IbesikpoAsutan Local
Government Area of AkwaIbom State.
1.7 Significance of study
Although
many scholars have written on the prevalence of anaemia in Nigeria, it
is significant to note however that micronutrient deficiencies lead to
anaemia in pregnancy. Therefore this study is basically for pregnant
women, expectant mothers and women who are ready for marriage. Hence the
study hopefully is significant to the extent that the above specify
persons should be able; to know what causes anaemia, to understand the
important, benefits of enough nutrients and enhanced their nutrition, to
understand the efficacy of micronutrients,to know some other factors
that could lead to anaemia in pregnancy, such as poor weight gain and to
understand the double jeopardy of anaemic condition at the end of the
study.
The health workers will make use of this study in updating
their knowledge about anaemia in pregnancy, so as to be able to make
proper assessment, diagnosis, planning and implementation of modalities
geared towards competent management of cases in order to reduce the
incidence of anaemia among pregnant women.Findings from this study will
hopefully be useful in providing appropriate preventive measures to
reduce the maternal mortality of which anaemia is one of the leading
causes.It is believed that the proposition from this study will help the
pregnant women have more knowledge on what anaemia is all about.As a
final point, it possibly would serve as a work of reference to future
researchers in that area.
