Abstract

Quality of life has become a broad-based construct used to evaluate various aspects of human well-being including the period of bereavement. Studies linking quality of life with the period of individuals’ bereavement are lacking. Therefore, this study investigates personality traits, resilience and perceived social support as predictors of quality of life among bereaved young adults in Ibadan. Ex-post facto design utilizing cross-sectional survey was used while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study location. Data were collected from 187 bereaved young adults using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression and independent samples t-test. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The result demonstrated that personality traits, resilience and perceived social support jointly predicted quality of life among study participants In addition extraversion agreeableness and perceived social support independently predicted quality of life among study participants. Furthermore, there was a gender difference in quality of life among study participants. The study concludes that interactions of personality traits, resilience and perceived social support are good predictors of quality of life among study participants. The study recommended design and implementation of psychological counseling, resilience training, and personality profiling to help bereaved individuals to improve quality of life.

Abstract

Abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality especially in developing countries where crude methods are frequently used. Studies on the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of unsafe abortion among in-school adolescents are sketchy. This study was conducted to fill these gaps in knowledge. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while simple random sampling technique was used to select five secondary schools in Oyo West Local Government Area. Data were collected from 200 female participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive and Chi-square (χ2) statistics to answer three research questions and test two hypotheses, respectively. The result revealed that 83% of in-school adolescents had good knowledge of abortion, 80% had a positive attitude toward abortion, while 65% indicated that they had carried out abortion. Furthermore, the result revealed that attitude significantly influenced the practice of unsafe abortion (χ2 = 30.307, p < 0.05), while age did not (χ2 = 4.830, p > 0.05). The study concluded that female in-school adolescents (13-19) age bracket had good knowledge and positive attitude toward abortion and had practiced abortion more than once. The study recommended effective counseling and targeted health campaigns on the danger of engaging in unsafe abortion among in-school adolescents.
