CHAPTER ONE
1.0 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
All over the world
statement, thinkers and demographers have been concerned with the rapid
growth of population rate in the last four decades. A current rate of
growth. The world population as at 21 May, 2010; the human population of
the world is estimated by the United State Census Bureau to be 6822,
200,000.
Annual birth have leveled at about 134 million per year
since their peak at 163 million in the late 1990’s and an expected to
remain constant. However, deaths are only around 57 million per year and
are expected to increase to 90 million by 2050, because births out
number deaths, the world’s population are expected to reach 90 million
between 2040 and 2050.
The rapid increase in human population over
the course of the 20th Century has raised concerns about whether earth
is experiencing over population and scientific consensus that is the
current population expansion and accompanying increases in usage of
resources are linked to threats to the ecosystem. Since as rising level
of atmosphere Carbon oxide, global warming and pollution.
Due to
this pace of growth, strategies were undertaken to curb the problem.
This led to the emergency of “Contraceptive†drug. Other terms commonly
used includes birth control, fertility regulation, Planned Parenthood
and responsive parenthood, Huge amount have been spent on family
planning and family planning programs just in a bid to popularize its
importance and adoption in tertiary institution. Therefore, it is
expected that there is a widespread knowledge of contraceptive drug
among adolescent especially female student.
Although, the adoption of
there information varies, some have interesting and positive attitude
due to passive orientation while others see the usefulness and go a head
to practice it. Sexual activity is particularly high among unmarried
youth and those who happen to use contraceptive and those who did not
use with social concern in mind but more for personal reasons such as to
avoid illegitimate births.
Contraceptive drugs should not only be
seen in the view of population reduction alone but also in line with the
misfortune that is associated with indiscriminate sexual intercourse. A
growing population of adolescent not only initiates sexual intercourse
at early stages, but also engages in having multiple sexual partners.
Hence a high incidence of illegally induced abortion. In most cases,
restrictions on abortion force women to rely on illegal abortion and as
most young people are poor, they often use unqualified abortimist, which
leads to frequent severer health consequence such as sterility and
death.
It is therefore time for the society to recognize that the
health and even the lives of its young ladies must not be scarified in
an attempt in an attempt to prevent their sexual activity. In most
developing countries young ladies get married later and more start sex
before marriage. This exposing them to the risk of unwanted pregnancy
and unwanted sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) including HIV/AIDS.
In these countries 20% to 60% of young women pregnancies and births are
unwanted most coming sooner than planned. These pregnancies put young
women health at risk through child bearing or unsafe abortion.
Increasingly, early parenthood means lost education as will as with life
long loss of earnings. Evidence in Nigeria shows that induced abortion
increasing and is considered to be a major cause of material mortality
which quite high in Nigeria.
The question to ask ourselves now is,
has the introduction of contraceptive use in any way helped to stem the
rate of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s)
among women especially female student in the tertiary institution? The
answer to this question abore is not affirmative.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF SURVEY AREA
The
Osun State Polytechnic, Iree was established on 12th October, 1992. it
was one of the satellite campuses of the Polytechnic Ibadan before it
become an autonomous institution. Faculty of science was one of the
structures inherited from the Polytechnic Ibadan before being developed
to meet its present status.
At the inception, the faculty consists of the following these departments namely;
- Science Laboratory Technology
- Computer Science
- Mathematics and Statistics
Later
Food Science and technology and Applied Science were established but
very recently, the computer science department was reshuffled to another
newly created faculty, the faculty of information and communication
technology.
It is however pertinent to state that faculty of science
is one of the oldest faculties in the institution and its importance to
the polytechnic system is undoubtfully enormous. It is robust
intellectually socially and politically. Faculty of science is the
oldest faculty of the six existing faculties in the institution; the
faculty is playing an important role in the institution and the nation
as a whole because of its contribution to academic and technological
advancements. The faculty consists of five departments, namely
Department of Applied science, Food science and technology, Mathematics
and statistical, Micro biology and Department of science laboratory
technology.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This project has the aim of studying the uses of contraception drug among female student of faculty of science in Osun State Polytechnic, Iree. The study employed the use of statistical method like measure of central tendency, stratified sampling techniques, analysis of variance (ANOVA), co-efficiencies of correlations. The result of the analysis shows that there is relationship between the student and their attitude towards contraceptives. ... Continue reading---
