Background & Aim: This review explores the intricate interplay between healthcare facilities, nurses' welfare, and the dynamics of shortage and migration in LMICs. Through a comprehensive global lens, the analysis delves into the multifaceted challenges and implications inherent in nurse migration, offering insights into developing effective strategies for a sustainable and equitable healthcare workforce. Methods & Materials: This narrative literature review was conducted from 2012 to present across PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, EmCare, British Nursing Index, Hinari, APA PsycINFO, ProQuest, and EMBASE. Google Scholar was also searched for grey literature and the reference lists of the included articles were examined to identify additional relevant studies. A comprehensive analysis was conducted, employing descriptive theoretical frameworks to examine the association of nurses' welfare, shortage, and migration with specific emphasis on elucidating its global implications. The analysis identified healthcare facilities in LMICs, nurses' welfare in LMICs and its significance, global nurse shortage and its consequence, and nurses' migration as a response to challenges. These themes provided a framework for understanding the phenomenon under review. Results: The migration of nurses in search of greener pastures has not entirely resolved the challenges faced by both migrating nurses and the recruiting countries. The persistently unfavourable conditions in the nurses' home countries regarded as the push factors continue to worsen while the anticipated gain referred to as pulls, in the recruiting countries are often found to be imperfect and ultimately insufficient to fulfil the expectations of the migrating nurses.Conclusion: Individual countries must internally formulate or adapt policies to address these issues, taking cognizance of the importance of a global perspective when designing interventions, to prevent inadvertently exacerbating gaps in other nations while addressing local healthcare challenges.

BACKGROUND: Psychological issues usually accompany the pregnancy of first-time mothers, and psychoeducational interventions might be effective in addressing these concerns and preparing first-time mothers for childbirth and the postnatal period. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify, analyze, and synthesize the components and determine the effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions that are used for managing psychological issues and enhancing birth preparedness among primigravid women or couples in lowand middle-income countries. STUDY DESIGN: A systematic search of 12 databases (APA PsycINFO, EmCare, Embase, MEDLINE(R), Ovid Nursing, British Nursing Index, Health & Medical Collection, ProQuest, CINAHL, Cochrane, Hinari, and PubMed) was conducted to identify relevant studies published between 1946 and October 2021. The quality of the included studies was appraised by the Joanna and Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool, and a narrative synthesis was performed to analyze data extracted from included articles. The systematic review protocol is registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (registration number: CRD42021237896). RESULTS: The initial search yielded 8658 articles. Of note, 16 articles, including 7 randomized controlled trials and 9 nonrandomized trials, met the inclusion criteria and were selected and reviewed for quality. In addition, 31 outcomes were measured in the studies, including psychological outcomes, birth preparedness outcomes, and other outcomes. The design of the interventions included antenatal education that was delivered through lectures, role plays, trainings, and antenatal counseling. All the psychoeducational interventions had a significant effect (P<.05; Cohen's d or Hedges' g=0.2−1.9) on certain psychological outcomes, including childbirth attitude, fear of childbirth, depression, fear, and anxiety, and birth preparedness outcomes. CONCLUSION: Although first-time mothers experience a range of psychological issues during pregnancy, psychoeducational interventions were beneficial in addressing their psychological concerns. It would seem that these interventions are less expensive and could be easily implemented in low-and middle-income countries. However, rigorous research, such as randomized controlled trials, is hereby warranted to standardize the interventions and outcome assessment tools.

Background: The Coronavirus disease has rapidly become a public health challenge, with many countries adopting the usage of facemasks as one of the protective strategies against the virus. This study aimed to assess the behavioral risk factors associated with the use of facemasks during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown period in Nigeria. Methods: The study recruited 500 participants in an online-based survey through a cloud-based platform called Google Forms. The main scales; facemask usage and behavioral risk factors were measured on a 0-27 and 0-24 point rating scale respectively, while the subscales are utilization, prevention, and perceived threats were measured on a 0-16, 0-19, and 0-5 point rating scale. Result: The usage of facemasks accounts for 32.8% (daily), 12.2% (weekly), 38.2% (monthly basis), and 16.8% use facemasks out of necessity. More than half (55.6%) use facemasks because of fear of punishment by the task force while challenges associated with the usage of facemasks include: difficulty breathing (47%) and suffocation (24%). A significant association was found between the use of facemasks and the prevention of COVID-19 (b= 0.029, 95% CI =0.055-0.114, p-value 0.049, r2=11.1%). Conclusion: The use of facemasks has become a norm and passed into law in Nigeria, however not a pleasant practice for most people Recommendation: Therefore, there is a need for mass awareness and education to improve the use of facemasks in Nigeria.

Background: The COVID-19 outbreak, and related public health initiatives have disrupted the lives of many people worldwide. Evidently, the COVID-19 pandemic has produced detrimental social and psychological impact on the mental health of the vast populations especially the elderly.. This study sought to assess the knowledge resources and mental health needs of the elderly emerging from COVID-19 Pandemic of the elderly population at Babcock University in Southwest Nigeria. Methods: A total of 196 consenting elders resident at Babcock University were enrolled in an online survey at Babcock University to assess the mental health needs of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hypotheses were tested using bivariate analysis at 0.05 level of significance. Results: Majority [104 (58.4%)] of the elderly respondents are between the age bracket 60-64 and [51 (28.7%)] for the age bracket 65-74 years old. The respondents' top four needs during the pandemic are financial aid [108 (60.7%)], social support [41 (23.0%)], the presence of a caregiver [24 (13.5%)], and housing [5 (2.8%)]. The respondents' social condition might be summarized as follows: minimal social interaction with others, leaving them socially isolated [61 (34.3%)] and insufficient social contact with others [53 (29.8%)]. There was a significant relationship between knowledge and emotional state during the pandemic (p <0.05). Conclusion/Recommendation: Given the respondents' emotional state and other mental health problems that come with age, this study has supplied information about potential services that the elderly may find valuable. Government organizations and other partners should design planned interventions for the elderly throughout this period of life.

Aim: The study aimed to explore existing literatures in order to identify the determinants influencing the implementation of evidence-based practice in clinical decision-making among nurses. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted, articles from Google Scholar, Mendeley and PubMed were searched from 2016 upward. The reference lists of the included articles were also searched for more relevant studies. A descriptive theoretical and empirical literature analysis was done to explain the determinants of adoption of evidence-based practice in clinical decision-making among nurses. Results: Findings suggested that evidence-based practice is still at its early stage in Africa when compared to developing nations. In addition, factors that determine the adoption of EBP, especially in developing countries include limited time, the high burden of diseases with respect to limited resources, limited support from leaders in the profession, organization and government; adoption strategies which include the provision of practice guidelines to nurses, sponsorship for EBP-related training, identifying mentorship role in the adoption of evidence-based practice has been revealed as effective strategies in adopting EBP in clinical decision making among nurses. In addition, limited or lack of training on the aspect of health institutions and inadequate knowledge has been acknowledged as the common barrier to the utilization of EBP in clinical decision-making among nurses. Conclusion: Conclusively, it was identified that there is a wide gap between knowledge and implementation of EBP in clinical decision making among nurses, it is therefore pertinent that relevant factors and strategies influencing adoption of EBP in clinical decision-making nurses be made available or introduced.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in 2019 was met with various responses globally in an effort to reduce its spread. Despite these efforts, however, low- and middle-income countries like Indonesia are still being confronted with challenges, especially the healthcare providers who are frontline workers in the struggle. The current study aimed to explore the support expected by and provided to Indonesian midwives and pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method used was a descriptive-interpretative qualitative research design. The data was collected through conducting in-depth interviews with 24 midwives who were purposively sampled and evenly recruited across all regions and all areas of midwifery practice in Indonesia. The recorded interviews were coded and themes were identified, after which a thematic analysis was done. Two main themes emerged and nine sub-themes were identified from the main themes. The study findings offered new insights into the individual and collective experiences of midwives from various regions in Indonesia. They had to adjust by leveraging the internet and mobile telephones in order to continue delivering standard care to pregnant women amid the pandemic. In addition, the midwives saw the need to provide food and financial support to pregnant women. However, despite the end of the pandemic being in sight in September 2022, there is a need to continue to support midwives and pregnant women in the disruption caused by the pandemic. Government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) should plan interventions targeted at providing specific support to midwives and pregnant women.

As the novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is highly contagious, application of preventive practices, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) usage and hand-washing, are crucial to prevent its spread. Evidence suggests that preventive behavioural responses to COVID-19 might be affected by risk perception. The present study aimed to assess risk perception and preventive behavioural responses among midwives and the association between them. In September 2020, a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Indonesia among 421 midwives. Spearman’s correlation coefficient or Spearman’s rho (ρ) was used to identify the factors associated with risk perception and preventive behavioural responses as well as the correlation between risk perception and preventive practices. Generally, the midwives had a high-risk perception of COVID-19 infection. However, approximately 27% of the midwives did not always use PPE, and around 56% did not often wash their hands. Midwives who worked at ...

Introduction: One in 10 children would be sexually abused before their 18th birthday; about one in seven girls and one in 25 boys would be sexually abused before they turn 18. The statistics continues to increase even as low and middle-income nations of the world are gradually coming out to report cases of child sexual abuse. Aim: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and perceived effect of sexual abuse among adolescents attending selected secondary schools in Mushin Local Government. Methods: 414 respondents from selected secondary schools in Mushin Local Government participated in the study using the multistage random sampling technique. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26 and bivariate analysis was conducted using Chi-square test.

This review is intended to take us through a journey on how cancer had been treated and highlight the paradigm shift in understanding its treatment since adoption of evolution concept and hope to point to a possible future breakthrough in cancer management. Researchers estimate there will be 26 million or more new cases a year by 2030, and some 17 million cancer deaths yearly. The US president in 1971 Richard Nixon proposed the war on cancer in a bid to find lasting cure to cancer in the space of 25 years. An evaluation was carried out after 25 years, which, showed that although there had been major breakthrough in the battle against cancer yet the war continues and we are not yet close to a definite victory with local invasion, and distant metastasis that is resistant to conventional therapy being the major causes of death. This attitude of cancer cells had been more understood in the light of ecology and evolution in recent years as the Darwinian theory of evolution by natural selection now becomes a theoretical framework for the study of cancer behaviour. However, the implication of this eye opener to the cure of cancer had to be more highlighted if the moon shot war against cancer as declared by President Obama in 2016 would be successful. Early diagnosis taking into cognizance polyploidy parameters, more specific choice and scheduling of cancer treatment; selective toxicity, Inhibiting other chemicals or factors that initiate and sustains angiogenesis in cancer cells (tumour or human specific), supporting the immune system, boosting normal cell fitness and Restoring a more normal ecological niche may be the answer we have long sorted for as we strive to find a lasting cure to cancer.

Aims/Objectives: To assess the attitudes of pregnant women based on their knowledge about anaemia and adequate diet in its prevention. Study Design: Descriptive. Place and Duration of Study: The antenatal clinics: Methodology: A sample size of 369 was gotten by using Fisher&#39;s rule of thumb. A multi stage sampling technique was utilized. Subjects were chosen from 2 different hospitals in Osogbo. Equal numbers of questionnaires were distributed to the respondents in each hospital. In all, 60 single pregnant women and 309 married pregnant women participated. Results: Chi-square was used to test two null hypotheses, one was accepted thus the hypothesis restated as there exist a significant difference in knowledge among pregnant women that do believe that anaemia could be cured with drugs alone and those that do not while the other null hypothesis was rejected and confirmed there is no significant difference between perceived income and attitudes about an adequate diet and prevention of anaemia.

The study assessed the perspectives of nurses in Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, Nigeria on the effectiveness of substance abuse management. It made use of a descriptive research design. The study was conducted at the Department of Nursing, Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, Ogun state, Nigeria. A sample size of hundred nurses was used. This was calculated using thirty percent of the target population (ninety nurses) at ten percent error (ten nurses) to accommodate for attrition rate according to the rule of thumb. A stratified random sampling technique was utilized. Eight of the ten hospital wards were selected at random. Twelve of all the twenty nurses in each of the selected wards were randomly selected. Hundred questionnaires were printed and distributed. The instrument for data collection used for this study was a self-designed questionnaire consisting of closed-ended questions. A hundred percent of distributed questionnaires were retrieved. Data collected were analyzed through the use of tables, followed by interpretation in percentages. Out of hundred nurses, eighty-eight percent (88%) are of Original Research Article

Results: More than half of the adolescents fall within the age range of 15-17 years and majority were females. In addition to this, just a little above half of the participants were Christians and just below half of the students were in SSS 2. Also, more than half of the participants were Yorubas and well above half were from a nuclear family. Just about half of the adolescents have good knowledge about sexual abuse. In the measures of association, the relationship between the level of knowledge of sexual abuse and the perceived effect of sexual abuse was statistically significant. The relationship between adolescents' perception of the effect of sexual abuse and their concept of the common forms of sexual abuse was also statistically significant. Conclusion: This study revealed that the adolescents under study had knowledge about sexual abuse and this knowledge determined their perception of the effect of sexual abuse, and this in turn determines what they consider as child sexual abuse. It is therefore necessary to intensify efforts on educating and re-educating children and adolescents on sexual abuse, how to identify it and how to prevent it through campaigns and health promotional activities.

Background: While the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across nations in significant terms, midwives who play a crucial role in offering maternal and child care amid the pandemic stand a high risk of being infected. Examining their level of compliance with the standard precautions amid the pandemic is important.
Purpose: To assess the level of compliance of midwives in Indonesia with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage and hand washing.
Methods: In June 2020, an online cross-sectional survey was conducted on 1520 midwives in Indonesia during the early onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26. Association between demographic variables and compliance with standard precautions was measured using Chi-square test.
Results: Approximately 74% of midwives used PPE and masks when outside while more than 40% of them did not always wash their hands after they touch an object outside home. A significant association was found between level of education (p =.001), region (p =.000) and mask usage. However, association between ethnicity and mask usage; region and handwashing were not significant.
Conclusion: Majority of the midwives in Indonesia complied with PPE usage, but majority did not adhere to hand washing. This highlights the need for appropriate interventions to improve compliance to standard precautions in a bid to curtail further spread of the pandemic.
