Abstract

This study evaluates a small sample size from positivist’s orientation regarding the regulating influence of rehabilitation and awareness campaigns on the relationships between transportation, stigma, quality of health and health-seeking behavior among obstetric fistula patients in north-west Nigeria. The study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional survey design, a simple random sampling method, and collected 100 completed questionnaires. The study employed six constructs for assessment. Data were analyzed utilizing the statistical package for social sciences, SPSS v22, which was complemented by meticulous perusal by the panel of experts to evaluate the reliability and the validity of the construct’s items. Consequently, the findings of the pilot study confirmed that all the adapted items of the constructs are reliable and valid, and they are suitable for application in the main study.
