From the various sources reviewed, there was no literature available on the HSSF fund’s management system influence on the control of HIV/AIDs in Sabatia Sub County, Kenya. Thus, this study endeavors to fill the following knowledge gaps i.e. determine the influence of the roles of the various management teams at National, Sub-county and Health facility levels in respect to the Control of HIV/AIDS in Sabatia sub-county, establish the influence of the functions of the HSSF fund in respect to the control of HIV/AIDS in Sabatia Sub county and investigate the influence of the challenges of the management system of the HSSF fund in respect to the Control of HIV/AIDS in Sabatia sub county. This chapter will focus on : research …show more content…
The study will target all the 93 medical staffs which include Sub county officials and staffs from the 8 Health Facilities in the sub-county as tabulated below; This study will select respondents using simple random sampling technique. This will ensure that all people have equal chances of participating in the study. The sample to be selected should be in such a way that it is as representative as possible of the population to allow for generalization. The sample will be selected in a way that it will be as representative as possible to allow for generalization (Kabiru, 2009). Thus, this study shall rely on Kalinger’s (1973) recommendation of 30% of the accessible population as the sample size for participants as computed below; The researcher will use questionnaires and Focused Group Discussions as instruments of data collection for this study. These instruments will seek to collect data to answer all the objectives of the study. They will also seek the attitudes of the respondents towards the management system of HSSF and its influence on the control of HIV/AIDS in Sabatia sub-county. Questionnaires are written questions which will be given directly to respondents to answer on their own. They will be both closed and open
patients per year for the next three years. CIDA also indicated that the project activity
A questionnaire according to Collies and Hussey (2003) can be used to gather data, when the issues which arise are likely to be confidential and sensitive and give respondents more time to consider their answers. The questionnaire survey, as defined by McDaniel and Gates (2002) is comprised of a set of questions designed to generate the evidence necessary to accomplish the objectives of the research study. It is a method of getting answers to
One of the strategies not used in this study we the use of group interviews or focus groups. The authors point this fact out in their study indicating that while the results from such interviews would likely add to the evidence of their study, because of the scope of the study this method would need to wait to be utilized in later studies. Limiting the number of uncontrolled variables and not overwhelming the study with multiple research methods that may or may not add to the value of the results at this point seems beneficial and allows room for future
The selected theories and concepts for this research will be used in designing the questions and setting the measures for the questionnaire and the interviews as well. In addition, the theories and behavioral models will be used in analyzing and better understand the data obtained and in setting up the results of the research.
The questionnaires will be correctly labelled to ensure survey data will be correctly linked. Verify that all surveys collected have signed consent forms. Track and analyze data as it comes in. All data will be stored on computer files for easy access and to comply with privacy laws. In conducting of the pilot testing, efforts were made by the researcher to ensure the setting, choice of participants and interview methods were as close as those intended in the main study as possible. Interview the participants on any difficulty they encountered while responding to the questionnaires. Record and analyze their responses for drafting the final questionnaires. This form of data collection and management aims ensure the collection of accurate and reliable
This section deals with the population of the study, the sample-participants, research instruments, and time-schedule for completing the study.

Janssen and O’Brien’s (2014) article from International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning describes how motivation and ability factor into the variation of homework and exam scores. Researchers found that attitudes like procrastination will affect homework grades but not affect exam scores. The study also analyzes the indirect impact homework may have on exam performance. Researchers collected data from 687 college students all enrolled in several different economic courses. Data was collected through surveys in the first two weeks of classes. Students self reported on their motivation. Researchers found that motivation and ability matter, but are independent of one another. Ability can predict both exam and homework grades and homework score is a strong indicator of exam scores. Other major findings include homework related behaviors indirectly effect exam scores and how students approach their homework greatly affects grades as well. A limitation of this study was the inability to separate motivation, attitudes and behavior in order to conclude causation. Some other limitations included the lack of data analyzing motivation as well as the students were all taking a similar class subject whether it was microeconomics, macro, or others. Some strengths of this study include the results being consistent with suggesting homework is beneficial and concluding students enjoy homework that is online because it allows them to work at their own
Schools can be understood as reproducing social class or as helping to shape a more equal society. The social class is highly relevant in contemporary Australia and is an issue that deserves much more focused attention in public policy, particularly relating to education. The schooling systems of public and private schools in Australia have evolved immensely as a result of policies that were enacted as being part of Australian history.
The sample size that will reach redundancy or saturation- this simply indicates the maximum number of samples to enable the identification of consistent patterns taking into consideration that the population of the organization was 150 staffs. The other consideration was the largest number of sample to enable effective representation of the variation within the population of the target. This was based on
Questionnaires- participants answer written questions specifically designed. Questionnaires are normally closed questions with yes or no answers but may also ask qualitive data if further information is necessary.
This chapter presents the methodology used for this study. The research design and details on how participants are recruited are included, followed by a description of the data collection tools and data analysis. Finally, the chapter ends with a description of the ethical issues and the limitations encountered in this research.
Questionnaires are the most widely used instruments for data collection used by researchers in the field of social studies. They are usually used to ask about respondents ' opinions and attitudes. Questionnaires are defined as "a formalized set of questions for obtaining information from respondents" (Malhotra 176). Questionnaires are a common tool for collecting quantitative data. To design a questionnaire, several steps have been taken into account. I will discuss them under
Alcohol related problems is one of today’s contemporary issues, as there are studies that suggest that due to alcohol related problems there are various impacts that it can have to an individual, and it can include social harms and any antisocial behaviour, such as alcohol fuelled violence. This literature review will explore the academic readings, that help assist identity key issues relating to a criminology perspective of alcohol related problems. Ergo, based on past research from the academic readings this literature review will explore prevention strategies that help reduce social harm to the individual and the community, and also the consequences that alcohol can lead to. Also, this
