Generally, health information assist people make healthcare decisions, adjust lifestyle and promote self-care. Health information needs within the community is less well studies in Nigeria, so this study aims to explore the needs for health information within an urban community. This was a cross sectional questionnaire based survey study among randomly selected adults (≥ 18 years). Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as Chi square to determine association between demographic variables and health information needs. P values ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results showed that about half of respondents expressed their need for information related to sexual/reproductive health, childhood diseases, vaccination, identification of disease symptoms and how to participate in the medical decision making process. There was significant association between demographic variables and the need for health information. There was diversity of health information needs which reflected the desire to participate in many aspects of healthcare through access to relevant and accurate information. This will provide opportunity for pharmacists to deepen their involvement in providing health information in the course of pharmaceutical care services. Health information needs of the community was largely unmet by the cadre of health workers providing them. It’s therefore important that Pharmacists at the community level step up to fill this huge information gap as part of value added services to the public","PeriodicalId":19492,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76925269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because schools in the Philippines were closed, instructors' pedagogies evolved into remote learning modalities in various forms and platforms and blended learning was introduced. Confronted with such scenario, the purpose of this study was to look at the English teachers' blended learning teaching skills at Angono National High School which served as the foundation for the School Learning Action Cell, or SLAC. Particularly, it aimed to investigate the English teachers’ level of blended learning teaching competencies with respect to online integration, data practices, and personalization by applying the descriptive type of research. Participants of this study were ten (10) Senior High School teachers of Angono National High School who were teaching English for the School Year 2021-2022. Findings of the study connotes that demographic profile of the respondents are not significant thus this failed to reject the hypothesis. Based on the findings, the paper concludes that planning and preparation are the keys in providing effective blended learning teaching. Moreover, in expectations for blended learning, student involvement should be clearly communicated and structured to complement the blended learning mode. Still, as a work in progress, this study suggests future investigation in a different location and the use of other factors in teaching competences in blended learning.","PeriodicalId":19492,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76409581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many Middle East countries, tramadol abuse was raised as a major public health issue. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of tramadol use and abuse among Saudi patients living in Al-Ahsa region, the risk factors associated with tramadol use/ abuse. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional chart review study which was conducted at a single center, King Fahad Hospital in Al Hofuf, Saudi Arabia from January 2020 to December 2021. The data were collected from three main sources: the Pharmacy medical records, from the electronic medical records, and from interviewing the patients. The incomplete information was obtained by calling the patients through the contact number they had provided to the hospital. The Epi info software was used for calculating the sample size, assuming a confidence level of 95% and margin of error at 5% and a power of 80% and with the assumption of the prevalence of tramadol use in the population to be 26% (as reported from one similar study ) with 5% deviation. The total sample size calculated was 277.The data were collected on the data collection sheet especially prepared for this study based on the similar study.. The data were entered and analyzed by using the SPSS, version 21. Descriptive statistics (e.g. number, percentage) and analytic statistics using Chi Square tests (χ2) to test for the association and/or the difference between two categorical variables were applied. Logistic regression analysis was also done. A p-value equal to or less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: The records of 277 patients who were taking pain killer for their treatment were retrieved for this study. The mean age of the participants was 43.10 years ± St. Dev. 11.30 years. Majority of the participants were in the age group of 38-47 years of age (35.4%). The majority of the participants (71.8%) were male. Likewise majority of the participants were married (90.3%) while 2.9% were never married and 6.5% were divorced. More than fifty parents of the participants were graduate (56.7%) while 30.3% were secondary educated. Almost sixty four percent of the participants were unemployed. More than thirty one percent (31.4%) of the participants were using tramadol tablet. Among them 84.5% were using it for acute pain while the rest 15.46% were using it for chronic pain. More than seventy two percent of the participants (72.71%) never used the tramadol without physician prescription while the rest took it from other source without physician prescription. Young (18-27 years) and older age group (58- 67) participants were 2 times more likely to use the tramadol as compared to other age group (AOR 2.27; 95% CI 1.36-3.41,P=0.046).Most of the elder group of the participants used tramadol for arthritis pain.

The Maithili Brahmins, among these social groups, formed their distinctive identity for a long time. In the process, they determined the social norms in contemporary society. The paper also tries to analyse the state’s attitude in this identity’s creation process which permitted the Maithili Brahmin scholars, on the basis of their sacred texts, Dharmasastras (religious books), to regulate contemporary social order. Their works of literature, in Vidyapati’sMithila, reflect the formation of symmetry, for the validation of their identity and domination, between the challenges at the political and cultural levels.

These days, everyone seems to be talking about the incident. Now that the accused person is in police custody, the judge has granted authorization for the police to conduct a Narco test on him in order to uncover the truth and gather evidence. There are now three contemporary methods for discovering the truth. These include the polygraph test, brain mapping and Narco test. The first two don't need any kind of medication, but the third one does, and they have to inject it into the suspect's body. In the Narco test, psychoactive medications such sodium pentothal, scopolamine, and sodium amytal are injected into the subject in order to cause them to experience hypnosis or become sleepy. Under these circumstances, it is highly assumed that the subject will only speak the truth and nothing else throughout the interrogation. Because of this, the test is also referred to as the truth serum test. Although this test is highly helpful in questioning to solve criminal cases, we cannot ignore the bad consequences of the drugs employed and the negative features of the test on both physical and mental health. The court acknowledged that it was illegal and a violation of the right to privacy. In this article, we discuss the necessity of conducting a Narcoanalysis test, as well as its requirements, the procedure to follow in order to carry it out, the potentially harmful effects of the drugs that are used, as well as the potentially harmful effects of the test itself on one's health and some popular Indian criminal cases that are related to Narco testing.","PeriodicalId":19492,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"163 3 Pt 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86664057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the knowledge, attitudes and practices of sickle cell patients relating to the disease and its ocular complications on their adherence to ophthalmological monitoring of sickle cell disease. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study by systematic recruitment of sickle cell patients received for any reason, in the outpatient department of the Bouaké University Hospital, during the study period. Results: Out of 50 sickle cell patients aged from 8 to 71 years (average of 28.12) the male accounted for 52%. Pupils and students were predominant (60%) and the patients from urban areas represented 92% (n=46). The patients with a high level and secondary level of education represented respectively 42.00% (n=21) and 40.00%. The AS forms and the SC forms were the most represented with respectively 34% (n=17) and 42% (n=21). Those who did not know if sickle cell disease could cause ocular damages represented 52.00% (n=26) and among the 21 (42%) who said they knew, those who did not know that the disease could be blinding by its ocular involvement were 15 accounting for (71.43%).
