▼ Purpose of the Study. A healthy, fit body and well-developed mind have been known to be very effective in helping students succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. Understanding what motivators influence students in exercise participation, and how such motivators may influence choice in undertaking physical activities can be valuable information when planning college physical fitness courses and wellness activities. Further, it may reverse the trend of the findings that Andrews University students’ fitness declines while being in college as measured by 10 years of Microfit aggregated data. The purpose of this study was to identify the most important exercise motivators that influence Andrews University undergraduate students’ choices and behaviors toward acquiring a more physically active lifestyle. A second purpose was to investigate whether the exercise causality orientation profiles’ strength of Andrews University students was autonomous, controlled, or impersonal in the regulation of their behavior toward exercise. – Method. This was a quantitative study utilizing a non-experimental and correlational research design. This study employed two survey questionnaires: The Exercise Motivations Inventory-2 (EMI-2) and The Exercise Causality Orientations Scale (ECOS). The EMI-2 included 51 items identifying 14 exercise motivators: enjoyment, challenge, revitalization, affiliation, competition, social recognition, positive health, stress management, strength and endurance, nimbleness, weight management, appearance, health pressure, and ill-health avoidance. Responses for EMI-2 survey were measured on a 6-point Likert-type scale. The Exercise Causality Orientations Scale included 21 questions identifying three exercise causality orientations: autonomous, control, and impersonal. The ECOS responses were measured on a 7-point Likert-type scale. The data were collected from 316 undergraduate students registered for Spring 2013 semester at Andrews University. In addition, four demographic items were part of the study. Data were statistically analyzed by using descriptive statistics, bivariate, and correlational analysis. The multiple linear regression analysis was employed to identify which of the 14 exercise motives are the significant predictors of exercise causality orientations profiles to be autonomous, control and impersonal among Andrews University students. The t test for independent sample was used to determine whether significant differences existed for exercise motivators and exercise causality orientations between students from the School of Health Professions and from the other schools. – Results. The study revealed significant exercise motivation predictor variables for three exercise causality orientation profiles: autonomous, control, and impersonal, among Andrews University undergraduate students during the Spring 2013 semester. In addition, it exposed significant differences in the exercise motives and exercise causality orientation between the students from the School of Health… Advisors/Committee Members: Winston Craig.

▼ This thesis reports on a study in which research participants, four mature aged females starting an undergraduate degree at a regional Australian university, collaborated with the researcher in co-constructing a self-efficacy narrative. For the purpose of the study, self-efficacy was conceptualized as a means by which an individual initiates action to engage in a task or set of tasks, applies effort to perform the task or set of tasks, and persists in the face of obstacles encountered in order to achieve successful completion of the task or set of tasks. Qualitative interviews were conducted with the participants, initially investigating their respective life histories for an understanding of how they made the decision to embark on their respective academic program. Additional data were generated from a written exercise, prompting participants to furnish specific examples of self-efficacy. These data were incorporated into the individual's self-efficacy narrative, produced as the outcome of the "narrative analysis". Another aspect of the study entailed "analysis of narrative" in which analytic procedures were used to identify themes common to the self-efficacy narratives. Five main themes were identified: (a) participants' experience of schooling . for several participants their formative experience of school was not always positive, and yet their narratives demonstrated their agency in persevering and taking on university-level studies as mature aged persons; (b) recognition of family as an early influence . these influences were described as being both positive, in the sense of being supportive and encouraging, as well as posing obstacles that participants had to overcome in order to pursue their goals; (c) availability of supportive persons – the support of particular persons was acknowledged as a factor that enabled participants to persist in their respective endeavours; (d) luck or chance factors were recognised as placing participants at the right place at the right time, from which circumstances they applied considerable effort in order to convert the opportunity into a successful outcome; and (e) self-efficacy was identified as a major theme found in the narratives. The study included an evaluation of the research process by participants. A number of themes were identified in respect of the manner in which the research process was experienced as a helpful process. Participants commented that: (a) the research process was helpful in clarifying their respective career goals; (b) they appreciated opportunities provided by the research process to view their life from a different perspective and to better understand what motivated them, and what their preferred learning styles were; (c) their past successes in a range of different spheres were made more evident to them as they were guided in self-reflection, and their self-efficacious behaviour was affirmed; and (d) the opportunities provided by their participation in the research process to identify strengths of which they had not been consciously aware, to find…

▼ Introduction: Suicide is a leading cause of death among the university-aged population. Alarmingly, a large proportion of students with suicidal ideation or behaviour do not seek help from health services. This thesis aims to identify the factors associated with professional help seeking for suicidal ideation among Chinese and Australian university students and to develop a trial online program to facilitate help seeking. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify factors that may influence professional help seeking for suicidal ideation and behaviour. Two hundred and eight Chinese university students and 128 Australian university students were subsequently recruited to complete an online cross-sectional survey to further test the influence of the identified factors on professional help seeking for suicidal ideation. The results of this survey were then used to guide the development of a two-module online psychoeducational program (ProHelp). The effectiveness of this program was evaluated through a pilot randomised controlled study of 156 Chinese university students and 101 Australian university students. Results: Low perceived need for treatment, great self-reliance, low suicide literacy, and stigmatising attitudes were identified as important barriers to professional help seeking in both the systematic review and the cross-sectional surveys. In particular, greater self-reliance was significantly associated with negative help-seeking attitudes for suicidal ideation in both China and Australia. Attribution of suicidal individuals to isolation (p = .035) was negatively associated with help-seeking attitudes in China, while glorification (p = .008) and stigmatising attitudes (p = .025) of suicidal individuals were negatively associated with help-seeking beliefs and attitudes respectively in Australia. Limited suicide prevention knowledge (p = .042) in China and less supportive family relationship (p = .006) in Australia were associated with lower help-seeking beliefs. Two self-recognised barriers, “I prefer to deal with issues on my own” and “I question how serious my needs are” were identified in both China and Australia. Self-reliance, suicide literacy, suicide attitudes and social support were found to influence help-seeking and thus formed the basis of the ProHelp intervention. Although no significant effect of the intervention on professional help-seeking beliefs or intentions was found, both groups’ help-seeking attitudes increased during the study (p = .003 for the post-test survey, and p = .008 for the follow-up survey). The experimental group in both countries demonstrated a significant improvement in suicide literacy at the post-test survey (p = .015). Qualitative feedback indicated that the ProHelp program was generally user-friendly, clear, and helpful. Conclusion:…

▼ Cervical cancer though preventable is a serious public health problem. Cervical cancer can be treated and detected while it is early invasive or pre-invasive significantly improves the probability of curing the disease. WHO reported that cervical cancer is the second most common cause of female cancer globally. There are approximately 500,000 new cases that are identified each year and 250,000 women die of cervical cancer each year. Students in tertiary institutions usually have a high risk of contracting STDs as compared to the general public because of the high sexual behavior in such institutions and they underestimate their risk of contracting various STDs, HPV being one of them. One study found that as many as 60% of college-age women had some form of HPV, which is causally linked to cervical cancer. The aim of this study therefore, was to determine the knowledge of cervical cancer in influencing uptake of cervical cancer screening among female students from selected Universities in Lusaka The study was a quantitative cross-sectional study of full-time female students in these Universities conducted between July 2016 and January 2017. Data was analysed using Stata 13 (StataCorp, College Station, Texas, USA). The primary outcome was knowledge about cervical cancer, which adopted a validated cervical Cancer Awareness Measures (CAMs) tool and secondary outcome variable was uptake of Cervical cancer screening. Variables were first removed if the likelihood p-value was greater than 0.2, the final predictor variables in the model were those with p<0.05. The uptake of cervical cancer screening was analysed in a similar way. The study found that the majority of the students had never heard of HPV, and over 90% of them had heard of Cervical cancer. However, regarding the level of knowledge of Cervical cancer, the majority of the students had low knowledge levels with only 9% having high knowledge levels. This study found that only 13% of the students had screened for cervical cancer. Residing within School campus and having a health facility within School campus had a positive significant association to the level of knowledge. Age of sexual debut, knowing someone with cervical cancer and level of knowledge were significant positive predictors of uptake of cervical cancer Students were aware of cervical cancer, however, their level of knowledge regarding risk factors and preventive measures is very low. This indicated that awareness messages on cervical cancer and its prevention to the Public are not adequate in these institutions, this is a gap that needs to be highlighted because a large number of University female students are sexually active and henceforth a key population to focus on regarding cervical cancer prevention. Therefore, there is need to intensify Information, Education and Communication (IEC) on cancer of the cervix and its prevention in an effort to curb this disease vi

▼ This study examines migration aspirations among university students in Ghana. My interest is in undergraduate students, a group that is largely overlooked both in African studies and migration theory. The research was focused on migration aspirations, the first stage of any migration venture, and carried out at University of Ghana, a large public university, and Ashesi University College, a small private liberal arts college. A combination of methods was employed: focus groups, an e-survey (n=506), and interviews. To understand how students view the option to migrate, I argue that an Africanist or decolonial approach must be used. Understanding student migration aspirations can be achieved by letting Ghanaian students themselves explain the phenomenon as well as by contextualizing university students’ migration narratives within global inequalities of knowledge production. The findings show that students in the Global South indeed consider migration as a life option, however, migration aspirations are volatile, often driven by the ambition for further study and return, rather than being an end in itself. While other researchers have described a “migration culture” in Ghana, my findings rather point toward an “education culture”. However, financing such student migration as well as the passport and visa acquisition processes, present barriers such that although many students say they aspire to migrate, most of them have not taken action, like applying for a passport. Hence, this study confirms research suggesting there is a gap between aspiration and ability to migrate. In addition, my research reveals other reservations to the migration option, like fear of racism and religious/moral concerns. Further, the students in my study suggest that lowereducated individuals have a stronger aspiration to migrate than highly educated individuals like themselves – I construe this view as form of “othering”, not previously found in the literature. Men and women are as likely to aspire to migrate, except for women with weak academic results who are more likely than other groups to aspire to migrate. Further, the research established that university students in Ghana use new communication tools powered by the Internet to stay in close contact with family and friends abroad. Students also discuss migration in relation to “exploring”and “enjoying” as well as describe travel similar to the “gap year” earlier described in the literature, but for students in the Global North. These results highlight that students in the Global South are generally similar to the students in the Global North in terms of migration aspirations. However, while the latter are well covered in the International Student Migration (ISM) discourse the former are not – and this is the discourse my study contributes to. While individual considerations among Ghanaian students are similar to those of students in the Global North, I argue that the migration environment is dissimilar, and to better understand the phenomenon of student … Advisors/Committee Members: Adomako-Ampofo, A (advisor), Quartey, P (advisor), Akrofi-Ansah, M (advisor).

Previous social research focused on people who stutter has problematised and largely ignored the experiences of university students who stutter, relying heavily upon surveys of teachers and peers while almost ignoring the authentic voices of students who stutter. Using a novel bricolage approach incorporating autoethnography, this project posed the question: “How do students who stutter negotiate their university experiences in Australia?” In 2008, a unique, web-based audit of 39 Australian public universities concluded that little publicly accessible information about stuttering support services was available for prospective university students. In many ways, stuttering is absent from disability classifications and service systems in higher education. An online survey of 102 Australian university students who stutter, and follow-up individual interviews with 15 students, revealed how these students manage their social identities from enrolment through to graduation. Only a minority of students reported ever formally disclosing their functional impairment to university support services or academic staff. This meant they rejected and/or avoided the disability label and associated stigma. The students were found to exercise a high degree of individual agency and creativity throughout their university journey. Many employed ‘concessional bargaining’ techniques to effectively navigate the oral assessment requirements during their degrees. Analysis of the interview and survey data is interspersed with critical self-reflection by the author – as a university lecturer who himself stutters. This thesis makes a significant contribution to shaping our understanding of the social identities and trajectories of university students who stutter. These students have been recast as positive, purposeful, resourceful and creative agents whose actions can be largely understood from a social model of disability. A series of recommendations for supporting and teaching these students are made to key stakeholders in higher education.

▼ The acceptance into university is particularly more challenging than gaining admission into primary and secondary institutions of learning. This is due to inter alia the limited amount of enrolment positions available at universities in relation to the number of students who complete their studies at secondary institutions. First year students experience a great change in curriculum from secondary school to tertiary education. These students experience a great deal of stress in terms of dealing with their new academic demands and their personal physiological developmental milestones. It is at this time that the students are fighting for the autonomy from the control of their parents or guardians as they strive to be independent. It is also at this stage that most students drop-out of tertiary education institutions. It is therefore important to understand how the demographic factors assist these students in dealing with stress. The purpose of the study was to answer the questionnaire, "Are there gender, age, home language, faculty and socioeconomic differences in the experience of stress among students at a selected tertiary institution in the Western Cape province of South Africa?" The research study was conducted using students from a university in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The total number of respondents who completed the questionnaire was 306 (n= 306). The respondents comprised of only first year university students from various faculties. The participants in the study completed the SASS which comprised of 50 questions. In addition, they also completed a biographical section which comprised of the respondents' age, gender, home language, socio-economic status and faculty. An item analysis was conducted on the all of the SASS subscales (Affective, Behavioural, Cognitive and Physiological) using SPSS version 23. Subsequently, an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed on the subscales to ensure the uni-dimensionality of the subscales. A Pearson correlational test was performed to determine the relationship between age and stress since age was defined as a continuous variable. An independent samples t-test was conducted to determine if differences in mean scoresexist between gender and stress. An Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to assess stress differences in terms of home language, socio-economic status and faculty. The analyses were performed using SPSS version 23. Based on the result we were able to conclude that there is no statistical significance between gender and stress; stress and language; socio-economic status and stress; as well as between faculty and stress. Furthermore, it was found that there is no significant relationship between age and stress. The practical implications of the study and limitations are discussed as well as the direction for future studies. Advisors/Committee Members: Mahembe, Bright (advisor).

▼ Introduction: A dietary supplement is a product, which aims to add nutritional value to the diet. The use of dietary supplements is favoured among many countries, with a steady increase in use. There are many groups that are known to make use of dietary supplements such as females, the elderly, health professionals, gym goers, pregnant women, children under the age of 18 years and university students. University students are a group that are known to make use of dietary supplements in order to improve their academic performance, increase energy and promote overall general health. It is assumed that students studying towards a nutrition-related degree such as dietetics would be more likely to use dietary supplements, due to their interest in and exposure to nutrition. However, there is a lack of published data investigating the prevalence of dietary supplement use, factors associated with use and reasons for use among South African university students, studying towards a nutrition-related degree. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the use of dietary supplements by dietetics students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the use of dietary supplements by students registered for a Bachelor of Science or a Post Graduate Diploma in Dietetics, at UKZN. Objectives: a) To determine the prevalence of dietary supplement use among dietetics students at UKZN. b) To determine the factors associated with dietary supplement use among dietetics students at UKZN. c) To determine the reasons for use of dietary supplements among dietetics students at UKZN. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted using students registered for a Bachelor of Science or a Post Graduate Diploma in Dietetics, at UKZN. A self-administered questionnaire consisting of both open and close-ended questions was developed to collect data. The sample comprised of 139 dietetics students. Results: The use of dietary supplements was reported by 23% of the dietetic students. The most commonly used supplement among the students was Centrum (multivitamin) (21.9%, n=7), followed by calcium supplements (15.6%, n=5). There was a significant relationship between use of dietary supplements and gender and race. White and Indian students used dietary supplements more than the other race groups (p<0.05). Females (p=0.018) and students who lived at home were more likely to consume dietary supplements (46.9%; n=15) (p=0.008). Fourth year students (34%) used dietary supplements the most. There was no relationship between dietary supplements and physical activity, eating habits or ability to meet dietary requirements. Common reasons for using dietary supplements were to strengthen the immune system, improve energy levels and enhance health. Expense (32.7%; n=35), adequate diet (22.4%; n=24), deem it unnecessary/waste of money (15.0%; n=16) and unsure about supplements (14.0%; n=15), were statistically significant reasons for not using a dietary supplement (p<0.05). A significant proportion of the sample… Advisors/Committee Members: Pillay, Kirthee. (advisor).

▼ Mature-aged distance students, who often combine study with complex lives, make up a sixth of New Zealand university students. A high first year attrition rate in this population highlights the need to better understand their transition to university. Past research has tended to take a narrow view of their experiences, identifying specific strengths and challenges. This thesis uses the meta-construct of student engagement, the students’ emotional, behavioural, and cognitive connection to their study, to enable a more holistic understanding. Three research tools were used: an exploratory study analysing existing survey data; the theoretical re-conceptualisation of the key construct, student engagement; and a prospective qualitative study following students during their first semester. Study 1, the survey, established that mature-aged distance students, while highly satisfied, reported different patterns of engagement to traditional students. However, as the survey takes a limited view of engagement, the next stage of the project was the development of a conceptual framework that clarifies the nature of engagement and clearly distinguishes between engagement, its antecedents, and its consequences. The framework is the theoretical foundation for Study 2, which used family interviews and video diaries to follow 19 mature-aged distance students and their families through their first semester at university. Findings illustrate the individual and varied nature of student engagement, explore the importance of space and time as key influences on the students’ transition to university, and theorise the links between academic emotions and student engagement. Overall, the thesis highlights three overarching features of student engagement. Firstly, engagement is multifaceted with the three dimensions interacting and influencing each other. Secondly, it is contextual, influenced by university and student psychosocial and structural characteristics. Finally, engagement is dynamic, fluctuating throughout the transition to university as the impact of various contextual factors strengthens and diminishes. Central to all three features are the students’ emotional experiences. This thesis makes valuable contributions to both theoretical and practical knowledge of higher education. In particular, the conceptual framework and theorising of the links between emotion and engagement provide valuable insights that will guide future research with this and other student populations. In addition, the findings regarding the particular challenges of the transition period and the critical role of emotions for mature-aged distance students give rise to suggestions as to how these students can be better prepared for, and better supported in, their distance learning.

▼ This study delved into the career trajectories of final year Sociology students of the University of Ghana, with 120 students (main respondents) responding to self-administered questionnaires, and 7 secondary respondents interviewed for the study. The study produces mixed findings. It was evident that whilst all study respondents have certain career choice aspirations and goals, many do not undertake or embark on any career development activities throughout their lives and years of education to prepare for the world of work. It was evident that 47% of the study respondents noted the possibility of changing their current career choice aspirations and goals; and as much as 60.7% of the study respondents indicate that they may engage in careers they do not aspire to or prepare for when the opportunity presents itself. The reasons cited for this response are the possibility of unavailability of jobs in their preferred career choice areas, the lucrativeness of the opportunity, inability to further train for their preferred careers, etc. This notion became the point of rally, as it became evident from respondents interviewed as well as from responses of the main study respondents that career interest and passions do not drive most individuals toward any specific career fields. Thus, there is evidence of much instability and flip-flopping in the career choice of respondents. Meanwhile, 25% of the study respondents indicate that their current career choice aspirations are influenced by passion. It was apparent also that opportunities for career development activities at all educational levels in the country is lacking, with all study respondents advocating for efforts to institute measures and mechanisms that can promote and regulate the practice of career development and training activities and possibly require students to mandatorily undergo such activities. The need for collaboration between industry, educators and governments in the design and implementation of national career development policies became apparent and was recommended by the study.

Learning English becomes more and more important nowadays since we know English is one of the international languages, which can be used to communicate around the world. In Yemen, English is learned / taught as a foreign language. Learning a language is sometimes difficult since the target language (English) has different elements compared to the native language (Arabic). These differences sometimes cause students to make errors when speaking or writing it. This study aimed to investigate the students interlanguage in grammar. There will be syntactic errors, relevant to interlingual / intralingual interference committed by Yemeni university students. The purpose of the study was to find out the types of errors Yemeni university students commit in their writing and the source of errors that influenced during their writing. The appropriate literatures on error analysis were completely reviewed in the second chapter. Both Contrastive and error analyses were employed to analyse the erroneous sentences and phrases that were extracted from the students compositions. The subjects participating in this study were 200 Yemeni students. To conduct this study, 200 compositions written by the students of English were used for the analysis. All the errors were identified, classified and explained in terms of their types, and in terms of the source of interference i.e. interlingual and intralingual. The grammatical errors were classified into newlineii newlineeight types such as addition of unnecessary elements , omission of necessary elements , fragmentation sentences, selection of appropriate word, structure of sentence, simplification in using the verb form , word order and subject-verb agreement. Under the addition of unnecessary elements and omission of necessary elements, the errors were mostly in the use of articles, in the use of modal verb, in the use of linking verbs. From the result of the chapter four, it can be concluded that the Yemeni university students made 831 grammatical errors.

Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DCP)

Purpose: To identify variables associated with common mental disorders in an Australian university population. Background: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify research on prevalence and risk factors associated with depression, anxiety, eating and alcohol disorders in university students. The review identified 1200 studies of which 36 met our inclusion criteria. Depression and anxiety disorders were identified as the most prevalent disorders in this group. The main risk factors reported for student mental disorders were: being a woman, being homosexual or bisexual, growing up in a family with low socio-economic status, current financial difficulty and being a man for alcohol disorders. Methods: We invited all Australian based students from a large public university (N=24,209) to participate in a web-based Student Mental Health Survey. Outcome measures included the Primary Health Questionnaire depression, anxiety, and eating disorders modules, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Explanatory variables of interest included gender, age, year of study, degree type, financial means, parental education, domestic/international status and sexual orientation. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate independent associations with the four outcomes. Results: Complete responses were received from 6044 students (25%). Proportions reporting depression, anxiety, eating disorders and harmful drinking were 8%, 13%, 14% and 8% respectively, while 30% had at least one of these disorders. The groups with the highest rates of disorder were women, 25–34 year olds, students on low income, and homosexual or bisexual students. Parental education was not associated with disorder, and nor was an international/domestic status. Conclusions: This is the first study examining mental disorders in a population-based university sample in Australia. Groups in particular need are women, students on low incomes and homosexual or bisexual students. Given increasing student numbers and participation of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, policy is urgently needed to promote better mental health in the population, to routinely identify vulnerable students, and to intervene early. A national longitudinal study examining mental health across multiple institutions with oversampling of high risk groups is recommended based on the findings and limitations of this study. There is also need for further research and development of electronic programs which are cost-effective and preventative in nature, as a first response in a stepped care approach to mental health on campuses.

M.A.

Burnout has been researched extensively within the work context, however, burnout amongst the student population yielded a dearth of information. Burnout amongst students can be considered as a loss of motivation to engage in academic study (Mostert, Pienaar, Gauche & Jackson, 2007) and could place students’ academic futures in jeopardy (Struthers, Perry & Menec, 20030). More research in this field was required. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the level of burnout and emotional intelligence in a postgraduate university population. The study also aimed to assess whether any relationship existed between burnout and emotional intelligence. The sample consisted of 225 postgraduate participants from a large metropolitan university. Each participant completed a biographical questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey and the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire- Short Form. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey yielded three results. Professional efficacy yielded the highest mean score, emotional exhaustion the second highest mean score and cynicism obtained the lowest mean score. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire- Short Form yielded a relatively high mean for emotional intelligence. The relationships between the scores on the measures of emotional intelligence and burnout were investigated by means of Pearson’s product-moment correlation. Significant correlations were found between the three dimensions of burnout and emotional intelligence. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between emotional intelligence and exhaustion (r = -0.257; p < 0.01). There was also a statistically significant negative correlation between emotional intelligence and cynicism (r = -0.366; p < 0.01). There was a significant positive correlation between professional efficacy and emotional intelligence (r = 0.428; p < 0.01). It appears as if the higher the level of emotional intelligence, the lower the levels of burnout specifically emotional exhaustion and cynicism. This study has implications for students who may suffer from burnout during their university studies. It allows individuals who are involved with students to recognise the huge impact that burnout may have on a student’s life; psychologically, physically, cognitively and behaviourally. This study also provides information on how levels of emotional intelligence can affect levels of burnout. Furthermore, an important aspect of emotional intelligence is that certain areas of emotional intelligence can be learned and increased. If students are taught to increase their levels of emotional intelligence, they may be able to manage stress more efficiently.

▼ Background: Cervical cancer is a complication of Human Papillomavirus infection is the second most common cancer in women with 529,000 new cases each year worldwide. Eighty percent of the cases occur in low-resource countries. It is also a leading cause of mortality worldwide with 270 000 women every year, out of which 85% deaths occur in the developing world. According to the 2009 World Health Organization report, the age-adjusted incidence rate of cervical cancer in Ethiopia was 35.9 per 100,000 patients with 7619 annual number of new cases and 60-81 deaths every year. Despite this fact very few women receive screening services in Ethiopia. Objective: The study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practice concerning cervical cancer among female students at Adama University. Methodology: An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted from March -June 2014 among 667Adama Science and Technology University female students. Structured self administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Univariate,bivaraite and multivariate analysis were used. Results: About 404(60.6%) of the participants heard about cervical cancer, 478 (71.7%) had positive attitude towards cervical cancer screening and only 15 (2.2%) participants were screened for cervical cancer. Lack of information about cervical cancer was the most reported reason for not attending cervical cancer screening. Level of knowledge of cervical carcinoma was associated with attitude on screening, those with good knowledge were more positive where as level of knowledge was not significantly associated with practice. Conclusion and recommendation: The study showed that there is a lack of knowledge on cervical cancer and screening for premalignant cervical lesion. The reason for poor practice among others was lack of knowledge and information. There is a need to promote cervical cancer screening among women by informing them on their susceptibility to cervical cancer and encouraging a belief that active and regular screening can detect cervical cancer at the pre-cancerous stage, hence enabling the early treatment and prevention of cancer development.

▼ Background: As the number of higher learning institutions increase in number and size in Ethiopia, their HIV risk perception and behaviours have become an indispensible part of the national HIV prevention and control program. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of sexual risk behaviour and associated factors among undergraduate students. Objectives: To assess prevalence of sexual risk behaviour and associated factors in undergraduate students, of Madawalabu University. ix Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 634 randomly selected students in Madawalabu University, Ethiopia from February 1st to 30th, 2014 using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Data was entered and cleaned using SPSS version 16.00 statistical software. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between dependent and independent variables. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to measure the strength and significance of the association. Results: Overall a total 604 students participated in the study making the response rate at 95.3%. Three hundred thirty (54.6%) students reported to have ever had sexual activity of which 173 (70.9%) and 116 (35.2%) reported having inconsistent condom use and multiple sexual partners, respectively. In this study, predictors of sexual risk behaviours were; male sex (OR = 2.8 95%CI; 1.35, 5.80), more years of study (OR = 5.55 95%CI; 2.16, 14.24), accept to have premarital sex (OR = 2.58 95%CI; 1.26, 5.27) drinking alcohol (OR = 3.62 95%CI; 2.02, 6.53). Those respondents who accept to have premarital sex were nearly two and half times more likely to use condom inconsistently as compared to none accept (OR= 2.58 95%CI; 1.26, 5.27). 4th year students were nearly five times more likely to ever have multiple sexual partners as compared to first year students (OR= 5.55 95%CI; 2.16, 14.24) and those respondents who ever drunk alcohol were nearly three and half times more likely to have multiple sexual partner as compared to abstainers (OR= 3.62 95%CI; 2.02, 6.53). Conclusions and Recommendations: The study indicated that a significant segment of sexual risk behaviours among undergraduate students of Madawalabu University which are proven by having multiple sexual partners and inconsistent condom use. Therefore, the needs of youth reproductive health in the university through strengthening BCC on risk perception; life skill training, peer-education, availing services and working with all stalk holders, NGOs, and the surrounding community is recommended Advisors/Committee Members: Solomon Shiferaw(Dr.) (advisor).

▼ Worldwide, governments have made an increasing effort in providing contraceptives and ensuring greater access and availability of a range of contraceptive methods. According to the World Health Organization the promotion of family planning to essential for improving maternal health and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The low contraceptive rate among sub-Saharan countries is concerning especially for young women. In South Africa research suggests that fertility has been declining steadily over the past few decades and contraception is a major factor contributing to this decline. National surveys suggest that among White South Africans contraceptive use is high. However, there has been limited focus on the contraceptive use of Whites. Various studies give us a picture of the attitudes of Africans towards contraceptives. The aim of this study is to shed insights into contraceptive use of young white, university students in Durban. For this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain data. The semi-structured interviews were held with 10 White, female students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban. The findings of this study indicated that high level of awareness about contraceptives facilitates contraceptive use. Young women stated they obtained information about contraceptives from their doctors. Health benefits was the main reason for contraceptive use. Although doctors were an important source of information, communication with their parents also influenced their contraceptive use. The women also reported partner communication about contraception. The study suggests the need for early parent-child communication in facilitating contraceptive use. Furthermore, the study suggests improved interpersonal communication between health workers and young people about a range of contraceptives. Male involvement is essential in ensuring good reproductive health outcomes and partner communication is also likely to influence contraceptive use Advisors/Committee Members: Maharaj, Pranitha.

▼ In most African societies, care and nurturing of a child is the woman’s responsibility. When young mothers are unemployed and attend university full-time, their experiences are different to those of other students. This study explores the experiences of motherhood among university students at a selected campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal. The sample comprised of 20 undergraduate student mothers between the ages of 20 and 24. This was a qualitative study that used semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions to generate data. The theoretical framework used to bring meaning to the data was drawn from social constructivism and from theories of gender and power. The main findings reveal that student mothers face various challenges when parenting their children while attending the university full-time. Furthermore, it was discovered that student mothers staying at home with their children spend more hours travelling, this mean they spend less time concentrating on their assignments, group work activities and other school work. The findings also revealed that financing the living expenses of their children was a major issue when student mothers come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The findings also revealed that student mothers’ emotional attachment to their children was the greatest motivation to continue with their studies at university. Student mothers experienced various degrees of support. However it was discovered that there was a lack of support from the university and from the child’s father, whereas support from friends at university was reliable. Beyond them, the student mother’s family were the greatest supporters, financially and generally. Moreover, the study reveals that student mothers used various strategies to manage both roles, of being a student and a mother. Student mothers believed managing both roles is vital. This study concludes by highlighting the experiences of student mothers as both favourable and challenging. It highlights the support they receive from various parties to progress with their studies, and the strategies they use to cope with their studies and motherhood at university.

▼ Introduction: Breakfast is commonly regarded as the most important meal of the day. The consumption of breakfast has been linked to various health benefits, and is widely acknowledged in available literature. There is improved nutrient intake in those who consume breakfast compared to those who skip breakfast. Consumption of breakfast leads to positive health behaviour, improved stress management, feeling energetic and making less unhealthy snack choices. On the other hand, neglecting breakfast can have negative implications, such as fatigue and decreased concentration. Furthermore, skipping breakfast is positively correlated with obesity risk. The high prevalence of overweight and obesity in South Africa could be linked to poor breakfast consumption habits and requires further investigation. Several studies have illustrated a high prevalence of breakfast skipping amongst the university student population worldwide, due to affordability and time management. It could be assumed that students studying towards qualifications in health sciences would be more inclined towards regular breakfast consumption, as part of a healthy lifestyle; however, further research is required to investigate this. Due to the paucity of data amongst South African university health science students, this study aimed to investigate breakfast consumption and the relationship to socio-demographic and lifestyle factors of undergraduate students in the School of Health Sciences, at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). Aim: To investigate breakfast consumption and the relationship to socio-demographic and lifestyle factors of undergraduate students in the School of Health Sciences at UKZN. Objectives: • To investigate breakfast consumption and the factors that influence breakfast consumption in undergraduate students in the School of Health Sciences at UKZN. • To determine the socio-demographic and lifestyle profile of undergraduate students in the School of Health Sciences at UKZN. • To determine if there was a correlation between breakfast consumption, socio-demographic profile, lifestyle indicators and Body Mass Index (BMI) among undergraduate students in the School of Health Sciences at UKZN. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted on undergraduate students in the School of Health Sciences at UKZN, based at the Westville campus. A self-administered questionnaire consisting mainly of close-ended questions was used to collect data. Weight and height measurements were taken and used to calculate BMI. Results: Most participants were between 19 to 20 years of age, were females, lived at the university residence and were in their first year of study. Most reported their health status to be good or fair, did not smoke or consume alcohol and were physically active. Breakfast was consumed by 82.1% (n=284), however, only 50.5% (n=143) consumed it daily. Breakfast consumption was associated with lower levels of fatigue and higher levels of alertness.

▼ This study examines the current level of library patronage among accounting students both in the distance and a contact learning institution in South Africa. There is a relative absence of studies of academic library usage by accounting students. The low level of library usage, that is, low level of library visits and poor research skills of undergraduate accounting students has been attributed to the difficulty in integrating accounting curriculum with information literacy. However, the challenge facing academic librarians is persuading both academic faculty and accounting students to integrate information literacy into their curriculum and to convince individual students to make time in their schedules for library usage. In South Africa, this problem is compounded when it is a requirement of the accreditation body, The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), which requires academic departments to integrate library usage into the accounting curriculum for their programme to be accredited. The study examines the current level of library patronage among accounting students both in a distance and a contact learning institution in South Africa. The sub-objectives of the study were to investigate the reasons for low level of library patronage among accounting students in South African Universities; to determine what features would make the use of a library for locating information that is relevant and attractive to university accounting students in a contact and a distance learning institution in South Africa; and to investigate what, if any, improvements to library service can be made to make the use of the library of significant importance. Using a survey research method that utilises a structured questionnaire, this study gathered data from a sample of 500 accounting students from a distance and a contact learning institution in South Africa, out of which 379 returned completed questionnaire, representing 76%. The finding indicates that as with most accounting students across the world, South African students are no exception because of the peculiarity and design of their programme curriculum that provides recommended texts for students’ usage. The findings further show that the apathy of library services patronage among university accounting students in South Africa is exacerbated by lecturers who seldom give assignments or tasks that require the students to search for information beyond the recommended textbooks. Findings indicate that the most significant factor that influences accounting students of universities to patronise library resources are the expertise and interaction of the library staff. This is supported by the Expectation-Confirmation Theory framework which posits that patrons will continue to use library services only if their perceived perception of the usefulness of the services are satisfied. In this case, accounting students from both institutions examined in this study confirm the Expectation-Confirmation Theory framework of satisfaction being based on the perception of… Advisors/Committee Members: Underwood, Peter G (advisor).
