Abstract

In Nigeria, 151,700 children die every year from diarrhoea disease. The use of a valid and reliable tool for eliciting information on what mothers do at home to manage diarrhoea is critical for healthcare providers and researchers. The study aimed to develop and validate the Home Management of Diarrhoea Assessment Scale (HMDAS) using Rasch Analysis among mothers of underfives in Nigeria. The cross-sectional survey design was employed among 376 mothers in one selected local government area in each of the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria recruited using multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected for 6 months and were subjected to descriptive statistics and Rasch analysis. The HMDAS was developed after in-depth literature review and 3 rounds of input from 5 expert reviewers. fit analysis revealed that 12 items were misfits and were expunged from the tool. The HMDAS was found to be unidimensional with Eigen value of less than 1. Item and person separation index of the HMDAS were 11.1917 and 2.0123 respectively. Item and the person reliability index of the HMDAS were 0.9121 and 0.0820. The HMDAS was concluded to be a reliable and valid tool for data collection. It was recommended that the HMDAS should be utilized in generating data that can be used for designing interventions aimed at stemming the tide of diarrhoea in Nigeria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Corneal ulceration is sight-threatening. Accurate determination of the pattern, causative organisms and factors affecting severity and outcome will guide management. Objectives: To determine the pattern and microbiological diagnosis of corneal ulcers seen at Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki (AEFUTHA). Materials and Methods: This was a longitudinal descriptive study of all consenting consecutive corneal ulcer patients managed at AEFUTHA from December 2018 to December 2019. Socio-demographic data, relevant history, clinical and laboratory findings were documented. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Findings: There were 18 corneal ulcer patients among the 3853 consecutive new patients seen within the study period (a hospital prevalence rate of 0.47%). All 18 patients were recruited. They were aged 23 to 84 years; mean age was 50.4 ± 15.7. Majority were females 11(61.1%); 50% were farmers; 50% had preceding eye injury; 94% practiced prior self-medication; 72.2% presented ≥ 2 weeks after onset of symptoms. The ulcers were mostly central (61.1%); wide (>5 mm) 77.8% and deep (posterior stromal) 77.8%. Microorganisms isolated from 11(61.1%) specimens were: bacteria 6 (54.5%); fungi 4 (36.4%); acanthamoeba 1 (9.1%). Bacterial isolates were: staphylococcus aureus (5.6%) and pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.6%). Conclusion: Corneal ulcers presenting at AEFUTHA were severe (centrallylocated, wide and deep) with poor visual outcome after treatment. The microbial isolates were bacteria, fungi and acanthamoeba. Late presentation after prior self-medication was common. Public education on early hospital presentation is necessary. Corneal transplant services are also needed for visual rehabilitation.

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 284232.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) The COVID-19 pandemic (and its aftermath) highlights a critical need to communicate health information effectively to the global public. Given that subtle differences in information framing can have meaningful effects on behavior, behavioral science research highlights a pressing question: Is it more effective to frame COVID-19 health messages in terms of potential losses (e.g., "If you do not practice these steps, you can endanger yourself and others") or potential gains (e.g., "If you practice these steps, you can protect yourself and others")? Collecting data in 48 languages from 15,929 participants in 84 countries, we experimentally tested the effects of message framing on COVID-19-related judgments, intentions, and feelings. Loss- (vs. gain-) framed messages increased self-reported anxiety among participants cross-nationally with little-to-no impact on policy attitudes, behavioral intentions, or information seeking relevant to pandemic risks. These results were consistent across 84 countries, three variations of the message framing wording, and 560 data processing and analytic choices. Thus, results provide an empirical answer to a global communication question and highlight the emotional toll of loss-framed messages. Critically, this work demonstrates the importance of considering unintended affective consequences when evaluating nudge-style interventions. 26 p.

Abstract

Objective: To determine the current status and challenges of subspecialty eye care service delivery in Nigeria Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study Setting: Ophthalmological society of Nigeria (OSN) conference Subjects or participants: Nigerian Ophthalmologists participating in the annual OSN conference. Interventions: Data of current status of eye care services and challenges of subspecialty practice were collected using a pretested self-administered questionnaire. Chi-square test was used to determine associations at a P-value of 0.05 Results: There were a total of 136 respondents; 60 males and 76 females. Highest age range of respondents was 41-50years. About 44.1% had undergone some form of subspecialty training. The commonest area of specialization was Glaucoma (13.2%) while the least area was Neuro-ophthalmology (1.5%). There were more subspecialists in the western region of the country. The major constraint for undergoing subspecialty fellowship was lack of funds. The major barrier to setting up subspecialty practice on completion of training was Lack of equipment for subspecialty practice. Majority of the present subspecialists got international sponsorship for their subspecialty training while those without subspecialty training cited cost as a major impediment to training. Conclusion: Subspecialty training and implementation is still developing in Nigeria. A major intervention has been put in place by CEHC, ICO and Fred Hollows foundation training some number of ophthalmologists. Subspecialty [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Beside visual fitness, non-visual risks can impact on a driver's ability to drive safely. Objectives: To describe the non-visual risks of commercial vehicle divers in Abakaliki. Methodology: This was a cross sectional, descriptive study. Relevant data collected included bio- data, vital signs and lifestyle history of participants. Data was analysed using SPSS software package Version 22, and reported in simple tables showing frequencies, percentages and proportions. Relationship between the socio-demographic variables, vital signs and history of road traffic accident (RTA) were tested using the Chi Square statistic. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: All 103 participants were males aged 24 to 75 years, with a mean of 43.2 ± 12.3. Majority (61.2%) were ≥40 years. High proportions: 37.5% and 9.7% were found to be hypertensive and diabetic respectively; 4 (3.9%) were epileptics; 50.5% and 25.2% use alcohol and tobacco respectively. Almost half (46.6%) self-reported having had RTA. The relationship between self-reported history of RTA and history of epilepsy was statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of non-visual medical risks to driving safety amongst this population. It is recommended that beside the prelicensing visual acuity, general medical check be incorporated as part of requirements for issuance and renewal of driving licence for drivers in Nigeria. Those with epilepsy should be identified and never licensed to drive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

8. COULD ACANTHAMOEBA KERATITIS BE MORE COMMON IN NON-CONTACT LENS-WEARING NIGERIANS THAN REPORTED? EVIDENCE FROM ABAKALIKI.

Abstract

Background: Although acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is more common in contact lens wearers, there have been many reports in those who do not wear contact lenses, especially in developing countries and particularly among agricultural workers and manual labourers. Available literature suggests that acanthamoeba keratitis is not a common cause of corneal ulcer in Nigeria. This might be due to a low index of suspicion as a result of low use of contact lens by the general population in Nigeria. Perhaps a routine search for the amoebic organism in corneal scrapings may actually reveal more cases of AK than reported among non-contact lens wearers. Despite the lack of sophisticated laboratory facilities, in resource-constrained settings, for definitive diagnosis of this amoebic organism in corneal scrapings, several stains are available for the detection of amoebic cysts in samples. However, the modified Field's stain, which is readily available, gives a very good colour contrast as compared with other stains, and has been found to be very useful for the early detection. This study is therefore aimed at presenting the utility of modified Fields stain for the rapid diagnosis of acanthamoeba keratitis with a view to highlighting the need to routinely search for amoebic organism in patients with corneal ulcers, particularly in agrarian communities with muddy farmlands; using a readily available simple stain such as the modified Field's stain. Objectives: To demonstrate the utility of modified Field-stain in the microscopic diagnosis of acanthamoeba keratitis in a resource -constrained setting. Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional descriptive study of all consenting corneal ulcer patients managed at the FETHA eye clinic over a 4- month period (May to August 2015). Acanthamoeba diagnosis was based on Giemsa and modified Field's staining techniques. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) wet mount and Gram's stain were used for diagnosis of fungi and bacteria respectively, before culture results were available. Results: The microbial diagnoses were staphylococcus aureus (37.5%), Fungal keratitis (fusarium spp. and aspergilus, 25%) and acanthamoeba (25%). None of the patients ever used contact lenses. Conclusion: The use of modified Field-stain in the microscopic examination of corneal ulcer scrapings yielded a high microscopic diagnosis of acanthamoeba among the corneal ulcer patients seen at Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki. It is recommended that a larger study be done to confirm the usefulness of the modified Field's stain in the diagnosis of acanthamoeba keratitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Significance\ud \ud Communicating in ways that motivate engagement in social distancing remains a critical global public health priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study tested motivational qualities of messages about social distancing (those that promoted choice and agency vs. those that were forceful and shaming) in 25,718 people in 89 countries. The autonomy-supportive message decreased feelings of defying social distancing recommendations relative to the controlling message, and the controlling message increased controlled motivation, a less effective form of motivation, relative to no message. Message type did not impact intentions to socially distance, but people’s existing motivations were related to intentions. Findings were generalizable across a geographically diverse sample and may inform public health communication strategies in this and future global health emergencies.\ud \ud \ud \ud Abstract\ud \ud Finding communication strategies that effectively motivate social distancing continues to be a global public health priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-country, preregistered experiment (n = 25,718 from 89 countries) tested hypotheses concerning generalizable positive and negative outcomes of social distancing messages that promoted personal agency and reflective choices (i.e., an autonomy-supportive message) or were restrictive and shaming (i.e., a controlling message) compared with no message at all. Results partially supported experimental hypotheses in that the controlling message increased controlled motivation (a poorly internalized form of motivation relying on shame, guilt, and fear of social consequences) relative to no message. On the other hand, the autonomy-supportive message lowered feelings of defiance compared with the controlling message, but the controlling message did not differ from receiving no message at all. Unexpectedly, messages did not influence autonomous motivation (a highly internalized form of motivation relying on one’s core values) or behavioral intentions. Results supported hypothesized associations between people’s existing autonomous and controlled motivations and self-reported behavioral intentions to engage in social distancing. Controlled motivation was associated with more defiance and less long-term behavioral intention to engage in social distancing, whereas autonomous motivation was associated with less defiance and more short- and long-term intentions to social distance. Overall, this work highlights the potential harm of using shaming and pressuring language in public health communication, with implications for the current and future global health challenges.

Abstract

Background: Schoolteachers who have knowledge on eye diseases can detect early children with eye disorders and refer them promptly to an eye specialist. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of teachers in a vision screening program for primary school children in Abakaliki., Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 20 randomly selected primary schoolteachers in Abakaliki to screen for vision abnormalities and detect eye problems among 350 children from 5 schools. Teachers participated in a 2-day training using a modified training algorithm on vision screening using a Snellen's chart and in the identification of common ocular abnormalities. Data was analysed using IBM SPSS version 26 statistical program and a p-value of <0.05 at 95% confidence level was statistically significant., Results: A total of 379 children were enrolled into the study however, 350 (92.3%) children participated in the study. School teachers correctly identified 283 (92.8%) children who had normal vision and 33(73.3%) who had impaired vision. Overall 60 (17.1%) children with perceived eye defects were referred to the ophthalmologist for re-examination. Refractive error and allergic conjunctivitis were the most common eye problems identified and children with refractive error and other ocular morbidity were referred to the base hospital., Conclusion: Teachers are a valuable resource in the detection of eye disorders among school children. Their effectiveness can be further enhanced by regular training, and collaboration with eye care professionals. Addressing these limitations through policy implementation can lead to better eye health outcomes for school children in Nigeria., (© Association of Resident Doctors, UCH, Ibadan.)

Abstract

Background and Aim: To determine the effect of postural changes on intraocular pressure (IOP) among newly diagnosed patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG)., Patients and Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study of 55 consecutive newly diagnosed patients with POAG attending Glaucoma clinics at a Federal Teaching Hospital in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state, from July to September 2017. Patients IOPs were measured in the sitting position, supine without a pillow, and supine with pillow positions using Perkin's handheld applanation tonometer. All data were analyzed with SPSS version 20.0., Results: A total of 55 subjects were recruited comprising 30 (54.5%) males and 25 (45.5%) females, with a mean age of 50.13 ± 9.97 years and an age range of 30-79 years. The mean intraocular pressure was 27.54 ± 3.98 mmHg in the sitting position, 30.15 ± 4.41 mmHg in the supine with pillow position, and 35.22 ± 4.61 mmHg in the supine without pillow position. The mean difference of mean IOP of sitting compared to supine without the pillow was 7.68 ± 2.08 mmHg (P-value < 0.001, 95% CI: 7.12-8.24); sitting compared to supine with the pillow was 2.61 ± 1.49 mmHg (P-value < 0.001, 95% CI: 3.01-2.21), whereas supine without the pillow compared to supine with the pillow was 5.07 ± 2.24 mmHg (P-value 0.001, 95% CI: 4.47-5.68)., Conclusion: IOP was lowest in the sitting position and highest in the supine without pillow position. There was a statistically significant reduction in IOP on the assumption of supine with pillow position compared to supine without pillow position. The use of thick pillows in supine positions (such as during sleep or relaxations) rather than lying supine without pillows may reduce IOP spikes in POAG patients. This may have a positive effect as regards treatment and progression of glaucoma., Competing Interests: None

Abstract

Background: Interprofessional conflict in university teaching hospitals in Nigeria is on the increase. This study was aimed at assessing the health professions' perception of factors responsible forconflict., Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive survey among six health professions., Results: The perceived causes of conflict include differential salary between doctors and others, physician intimidation and discrimination of other professions, "inordinate ambition" of the other professions to lead the health team, and envy of the doctor by the other professions. Doctors differed significantly from the other professions on the role of each of these in causing conflict. Mutual respect for each other's competence, proper remuneration and clear delineation of duties for all, and other groups appreciating the salary differential between them and doctors were perceived as means of resolving the conflict. While all accepted mutual respect and proper remuneration as effective, other health workers differed significantly from doctors on the effectiveness of appreciating salary differential between them and doctors in resolving the conflict., Conclusion: Differential salary between the doctor and the other health workers is the main factor perceived to cause interprofessional conflict. The government and all health professions should accept, and maintain the relativity in salary differential between doctors and other health professions.
