Abstract: BAWAG, OLIVIA E., BUSTAMANTE, MYLENE P., MALABAD, RUTH L. and PASCUA, EVELYN I. Relationship Between Selected Mothers' Socio-Demographic Characteristics and Attendance to the Seminar and their Level of Awareness on Family Planning and Responsible Parenthood in Brgy. Sta. Lucia, Dasmarinas, Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis, Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication major in Journalism, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2007. Adviser: Ms. Bettina Joyce Ilagan. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between selected mothers' socio-demographic characteristics and attendance to the seminar and their level of awareness on family planning and responsible parenthood in Brgy. Sta. Lucia, Dasmarinas Cavite . The study's main objective was to determine the relationship between the socio-demographic characteristics and attendance to the seminar and the level of awareness on family planning and responsible parenthood. The target respondents were 100 mothers consisting of 50 participants and 50 non-participants who were chosen through purposive sampling. The questionnaire consisted of three main parts which were: Part 1: Demographic Characteristics, Part II: Family Planning, Part III: Responsible Parenthood and Part IV: Evaluation of the Seminar. The content of the questionnaire consisted of multiples choices and objective type questions. Findings asserted that most of the participants and non-participants have long marriage thus beget more children. Most of the participants of the seminar were highly aware than the non-participants on the issue of family planning. Nonetheless, most of the participants and non-were highly aware on responsible parenthood. Furthermore, based on this study, the mothers' attendance to the seminar was significant enough to increase their awareness on family planning and responsible parenthood. However, though both length of marriage and number of children affect the mothers' level of awareness on family planning and responsible parenthood, there are still other unknown factors affecting their awareness as reflected on the data formulated by Pearson. It is recommended to the future researchers to enhance this study by supplementing the seminar with informational materials like hand-outs, brochures, or even a wall newspaper focusing on family planning and responsible parenthood to yield a more significant impact to the target respondents. More notably, the researchers highly recommend that the target respondents be limited to only those who are subjected to the intervention, in this case, only to those who will take part on the seminar so that the results to be interpreted be taken through the pre-test and post-test, from which a more effective statistical tool will be employed. There should be a continuing intensive health education programs with emphasis on family planning and responsible parenthood. Further training on family planning and responsible parenthood should be given to the health service providers and emphasize referral system so that they can give a well-developed service to the residents of Sanitary Compound.
