Tiivistelmä
The thesis aims to contribute to the nursing knowledge in relation to the health of women in Grand Popo, by answering the research question, ‘what are the past community development projects in Grand Popo with implications on women’s health?’ The purpose therefore, of the thesis is to review and describe past community development projects and to discuss their possible impact on women’s health in Grand Popo. The community-based research involved engaging with all the stakeholders in the rigorous process of inquiry and data collection towards understanding the subject matter.
Leininger’s ethnonursing research method was used in the implementation of this study, using the ‘Observation- Participation- Reflection’ enabler. Data collection was guided by Leininger’s ethno-demographic tool, which was adapted to conform to Leininger’s Semi-Structured inquiry guide for open unstructured question. Data was later analysed using the Leininger’s Four-phase data analysis tool.
The findings concerning the impact of past community development projects on women’s health were unmeasurable, due to inaccessibility of sufficient information concerning relevant development projects and the lack of concrete information concerning women-centred health promotion projects in the area. However abstract conceptions were formulated from the material collected and feedback from the locals to draw conclusions and recommendations for further inquiry into the subject.
