Structural equation modeling of choice of place of delivery in Nigeria
Journal Title: Annals. Computer Science Series - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Medical problems are often experienced during child delivery in a poor place of delivery and health care. The use of immediate health indicator as direct proxies for choice making biases estimates that these proxies are poor correlates. This study is aimed at investigating the hypothesized relationship and effect between choice of place of delivery and among socio demographic risk factors by using single factor mode in Structural Equation Modeling(SEM). Result of our findings shows that Place of residence, mother education, mother age, mother occupation, marital status and religion are hypothetically significantly correlated with choice of place of delivery. Overall, the measurement model perfectly fits the covariance (χ2 = 8451.279 with p value =0 .000, df =14). The model achieved a good fit for a dataset with the sample size adequate for the Chi-Square test. Thus, the measurement model in structural equation modeling is appropriate for the analysis. The importance of the choice of place of delivery cannot be overemphasized. Therefore, government at all levels should provide a means of informing women about it.
