EVALUATION OF BEHAVIOUR CHANGE CAMPAIGNS ON HIV/AIDS PATIENTS IN KOGI STATE

ABSTRACT

This study entitled “Evaluation of behaviour change campaigns on HIV/AIDS patients in Kogi State” is aimed at assessing the impact of behaviour change campaigns on HIV/AIDS patients in Kogi State. The study adopted survey and indebt interview (triangulation) methods. With the aid of proportionate sampling technique, one thousand, one hundred and nineteen (1,119) respondents were sampled from the ten (10) designated hospitals in the three (3) senatorial districts in Kogi State. In the same way, out of one thousand, one hundred and nineteen (1,119) copies of questionnaire distributed through the use of accidental procedure, one thousand, ninety-six (1,096) copies of questionnaire were retrieved. Both questionnaire and interview were employed as instruments of data collection. These data were categorized and analyzed using thematic analysis. The outcome of these analyses revealed that 91% of the HIV/AIDS patients listened to the campaigns. In the same way, seventy-three percent (73%) of the respondents affirmed that their awareness level was very high. It further revealed that the contexts of behaviour change campaigns determine accessibility of the message to the target population to a very great extent (46%); condoms and total abstinence were the best measures in preventing HIV/AIDS infections. Discrimination and stigmatization remained the bane of HIV/AIDS spread in Kogi State. It was further revealed that employment of the patients would discourage them from risky behaviours. Based on these findings, the following recommendations were made: that KOSACA should conduct audience research to determine appropriate channels and contexts for behaviour change campaigns. KOSACA in collaboration with the Kogi State Government should develop a new promotional concept to decongest the emotions of the HIV/AIDS patients about the issue of stigmatization and discrimination which has become the bane of HIV/AIDS spread in Kogi State; the Kogi State Government in collaboration with the Federal Government, the employers of labour and other agencies like the Catholic Relief Organization should grant “healthcare amnesty” to all the HIV/AIDS patients in form of automatic employment as granted to freedom fighters by the Federal Government of Nigeria; and the healthcare providers should inculcate the virtues of honesty and truthfulness on the patients to disclose their status without fear of stigmatization and discrimination.
