1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
i. To know how far people have known about existence of the sexually transmitted disease.
ii. To know whether the rate at which male are infected is the same at which the females are infected.
iii.
To recommend preventive measures on how to avoid contacting the
sexually transmitted diseases and give appropriate treatment to avoid
rapid spread of the deadly disease.
iv. To specify the age group that is mostly affected.
v.
Finally, the objective of this study is in picking the types of
sexually transmitted diseases under study one by one and uses
statistical methods predicting what their incidence rate will be in the
year 2005 and 2006.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study has revealed that the awareness of the existence of sexual
transmitted disease. Through this study, their causes, sources and mode
of transmission have been have been highlighted. Having known all
these a greater result can be achieved by embarking on the program
against sexually transmitted disease, such as making use of condom as
one of the preventive measures and total abstinence as another measure.
Another important significance is that, the health standard of the
people is improved, while the death effect and other consequences of
sexually transmitted diseases are minimized by profiling good medical
attention and the use of skilled practitioners.
Finally,
by achieving all these goals, we can have a good social economic
planning for the present and future generation.
1.5 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
The Federal Medical Centre Umuahia (FMC) is my scope of study. It has
ten wards (10) two medical ward on each for male and female, two
surgical wards one each for male and female, two surgical wards one each
for male and female, maternity wards with eighty (80) beds, one ward
with forty (40) beds for booked patients while the other is for unbooked
patients. Other are the pediatrics ward with twenty (20) beds and a
gynecological ward with fourty (40) beds. But my area of concentration
is based on the steadily increase of the sexually transmitted diseases
(STDS). And we are taking a more look at the four varieties of sexually
transmitted diseases (STDS). And we are taking a more look at the four
varieties of sexually transmitted disease (STDS) such as gonorrhea,
syphilis, arthritis and Aids. This study is faced with a lot of
limitations and some problems encountered din the project research must
not be overlooked. Some problems as: problem of finance, a lot of
expense was made on the process of collecting the data. Time factor is
another problem that delays the collection of data.
In
addition, the duplication of the data and the production of this project
work also included. On this note I was to study records from the year
1995 – 2002. This further more confined to the statistical analysis
only, which has to do with the incidence rate of the sexually
transmitted disease under study as arranged or grouped into sex, age
groups and years. There will also be some forecast or production of the
type of sexually transmitted disease under study in a specifically year
to come.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ] The entire project work/study talks about the full meaning of the STDS. The causes of the sexually transmitted diseases were found out to be virus and bacteria which can be transmitted from one person to another predominantly through sexual contact. The scope of the study was also special and federal medical center Umuahia (FMC) was used as a case study. One of the studies carried out by Dr. A.U. Mbanuso at the Federal Medical center Umuahia 1990 – 1993. His result showed tha ... Continue reading---
