According
to the FRSC, WHO estimated that should the present unhealthy trends in
road traffic accidents continue, fatalities from traffic crashes would
increase by a margin of 65% between 2015 and 2020, exceeding the burden
created by tuberculosis and malaria (FRSC, 2011).There is thus, an
urgent need for tackling the menace of motorcycle accidents in our
environment and this would require a multi-faceted approach which health
workers like nurses can provide. Therefore, the index study is aimed at
investigating the effect of a nurse-led training programme on risky
behaviours among motorcycle operators in Ado – Ekiti.
1.3 Objective of the Study
The
main objective of the study is to assess the effect of a nurse-led
training programme on the risky behaviours of motorcycle operators in
Ado-Ekiti. The specific objectives are to:
assess the level of knowledge of motorcycle operators on risky behaviours in Ado-Ekiti;
give a training programme on risky behaviours to motorcycle operators in Ado-Ekiti and
assess the effect of the training program on risky behaviours among motorcycle operators in Ado-Ekiti.
1.4 Research Questions
What is the level of knowledge of risky behaviours among motorcycle operators in Ado-
Ekiti?
What is the effect of the training programme on risky behaviours among motorcycle operators in Ado-Ekiti?
1.5 Hypotheses
H01:There is no significant difference in the knowledge level of motorcycle operators about
risky behaviours pre- and post-intervention.
H02: There is no significant effect of the training program on risky behaviours among
motorcycleoperators in Ado-Ekiti.
1.6 Scope of the Study
The
study was delimited to the registered motorcycle operators within the
capital city of Ekiti State. It also employed didactic power-point
lecture in the training of the motorcycle operators. The researcher
delimited the evaluation of the participants to the use of pre-test and
post-test questionnaire administration, since this has proven to be a
standard way of achieving the research objectives.
