It is found that the training programme has a high degree of popularity at the grass-roots level, that rural women have a high demand for training activities, and that the training programme has a positive impact on women’s economic empowerment, family life, and social participation. However, the paper also finds that there is an imbalance between the supply of and demand for training activities and that rural women have difficulty participating in training due to the heavy burden of family care. This paper suggests that training content should be diversified, teaching should be multi-level, and publicity should be multi-dimensional. A tracking mechanism should be established to understand the long-term impact of training. In addition, government departments should increase their support for rural women’s training.展开更多

This study aimed to assess the predictors of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of reproductive age group in Imo State, Southeast Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 368 women of reproductive age group attending the clinic at Federal University Teaching Hospital Owerri, in Imo State, Nigeria. Respondents were recruited using a systematic sampling technique. Data were collected using a pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire. Multivariable analysis was performed to determine predictors of abnormal vaginal discharge. Statistical significance was set at p Results: The mean age of the respondents was 30 ± 4.5 years. Predictors of abnormal vaginal discharge were: age 36 - 45 years (OR: 4.5;95% C.I: 1.023 - 8.967, p = 0.041), being a student (OR: 2.4: 95% C.I: 1.496 - 7.336, p = 0.003), use of oral contraceptives (OR: 3.4;95% C.I: 1.068 - 6.932, p = 0.010), use of water cistern (OR: 4.7;C.I: 1.654 - 5.210, p = 0.028) anal hygiene practices (OR: 2.7;95% C.I: 1.142 - 4.809, p Conclusion: These findings suggest that targeted sexual and reproductive health interventions should be provided to reduce the risk of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of reproductive age group.展开更多
