This model has several versions and has been translated in to several languages. It has been used in several parts of the world but hardly or not at all in Nigeria. Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the internal consistency and concurrent validity of the IPIP in a Nigerian sample. Methods : The 100 items International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) by Goldberg and the Eyesenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) was administered to 50 adults in Kano. Their responses were coded and analysed using SPSS version 16 by determing their Cronbach alphas for the internal consistency and Pearson correlation for the concurrent validity.  Significance was set at <0.05 and at two tails. Results: The mean Cronbach alphas for the IPIP and EPQ were 0.602 and 0.653 respectively. The concurrent validity of IPIP extraversion and with EPQ extraversion was 0.344 and significant (p=0.014). That of the IPIP emotional stability and EPQ neuroticism domain was also significant (r=0.412, p=0.004). The EPQ psychoticism domain correlated negatively and significantly with the IPIP agreeableness (r=-0.282; p=0.047) and conscientiousness (r=-0.012; p=0.935).

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of sleeping at the wheel and psychoactive substance use among commercial drivers in Sokoto in Nigeria. Methods : In this cross sectional descriptive study, one hundred and sixty seven commercial motor drivers were assessed using questionnaire assessed using questionnaire sociodemographic variables, sleeping at the wheel and use of psychoactive substances to prevent sleep.

Driving was the only job among 106 (63.5%), mean hour of getting to destination was 14.5 and mean hour of resting during the journey was 1.74 (2.5). Prevalence of psychoactive substance use was 52 (33.5%) and that of falling asleep on wheel was 9%. To prevent sleeping at the wheel psychoactive substance used included marijuana, caffeine, and alcohol. Factors associated with high prevalence of sleeping at the wheel included long hours of driving =40 hours per week, types of substance use to prevent sleep, and previous use of alcohol. Conclusion: There would be need for policy formulation and implementation with regard to hours of sleep and rest by commercial drivers, use of monitoring device to detect psychoactive substance use.

An understanding of such relationship could be beneficial in the management of patients with substance abuse. Aim: The study investigated psychological correlates of substance abuse psychiatric patients. Method: One hundred and six (106) psychiatric patients from Uyo prisons and psychiatric hospital in Eket and 110 non-psychiatric others from Eket and Uyo served as participants. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (Neuroticism and Psychoticism scales) and the Psychological Correlates of Substance Abuse Index developed by the researchers were used in the study. Three hypotheses were tested. A survey and correlational design was adopted, while the Chi- Square was used for significance testing in statistical analysis. Result: Findings in the comparison of opposite populations indicate a statistically significant difference between psychiatric and nonpsychiatric patients on substance abuse in relation to psychological factors (X2 27.23, df = 1, P<0.001). Also, the hypothesis predicting a statistically significant difference on substance abuse between the high and low neuroticism groups was found to be significant (X2 = 6.66, df= 1, P<0.01). However, the hypothesis on the influence of psychoticism on substance abuse was not supported as there was no statistically significant difference between the low and high psychoticism groups on substance abuse. Conclusion: It is recommended that there should always be proper screening of patients on personality and behavioural traits before admission or placement in public institutions in the same way that governments and families should help to restrict the use of psychoactive substances. The paper concluded that there should be a coordinated legislation against drug use and abuse.","PeriodicalId":422969,"journal":{"name":"Nigerian Journal of Psychiatry","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115033823","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}
