4	Factors influencing men's involvement in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV programmes in Mambwe district, Zambia Tshibumbu, Desire Dinzela 30 November 2006 (has links) The study aimed at assessing the factors influencing the low involvement of men in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV programmes in the Mambwe district, Zambia. The factors studied were grouped as knowledge and awareness, socio-cultural, programmatic and demographic characteristics. A quantitative, exploratory study was used and 127 men were interviewed. The major findings were: Knowledge of PMTCT was the strongest factor which was positively associated with the level of men's involvement in PMTCT. Socio-cultural and programmatic factors were found to negatively influence men's involvement (although weakly); and among the demographic characteristics, age and level of education were positively associated with an increase in the level of involvement, while the duration of the relationship with the female partner was negatively associated with the level of men involvement. / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health) HIV/AIDS Knowledge and awareness Mambwe district Men's involvement Socio-cultural factors Programmatic factors Zambia 362.19697920096894 AIDS (Disease) -- Zambia -- Prevention HIV-infections -- Transmission -- Zambia HIV Infections -- Zambia -- Prevention AIDS (Disease) in women -- Zambia Family planning services -- Zambia Community health services -- Zambia Families -- Health and hygiene -- Zambia
