This paper highlights the prevalence of other diseases such as herpes simplex, trichomoniasis and candidiasis which are also sexually transmitted. It is shown that, although they are rarely discussed and reported, various estimates, particularly in the developed countries where statistics are available, indicate that their incidence rates are rapidly rising to epidemic proportions and, in certain instances, have surpassed the annual cases of syphilis and gonorrhoea. Their causative organisms, mode of spread, signs and symptoms, complications, prevention and control are presented. Although knowledge of the above are important, it is emphasised that it is much more desirable to focus on prevention through public health education. Health education strategies such as avoiding sexual exposure with infectees, personal hygiene, simulation, role-play and unemotional discussion in schools and the use of mass media in disseminating information to the public regarding prevention, control and how to seek for treatment are elaborated upon.","PeriodicalId":73989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of Health","volume":"117 6","pages":"351-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/146642409711700604","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20443893","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}

A self-administered questionnaire was answered by the girls to determine whether Saudi female college students were prepared for successful breastfeeding, and to assess their knowledge about relevant aspects of breastfeeding. The questionnaire contained questions about time of first feed, frequency of breastfeeding, duration of a feed and duration of breastfeeding. Correct answers were made by 38%, 33%, 35% and 59% of the students respectively. Those with a high knowledge score who would breastfeed in the future were significantly more than those with a lower knowledge score (p < 0.001). When the knowledge score and seven other variables were entered into a logistic regression model, knowledge was found to be the only significant predicting factor for the decision to breastfeed in the future. The study showed that the attitude of young Saudi women is favourable towards breastfeeding. However, they do not seem to be prepared to breastfeed so successfully. Knowledge was the only predictory factor for the decision to breastfeed in the future. An educational programme may increase the prevalence of breastfeeding in this community.","PeriodicalId":73989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of Health","volume":"117 6","pages":"387-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/146642409711700611","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20442453","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 objective was to assess the prevalence and type of tobacco usage and to collect background data for planning health education programmes. The overall prevalence of tobacco usage was 51.5% among males and 30.3% among females. There were no female smokers, the preferred habit of tobacco usage among women being chewing. The prevalence of smoking among non-teaching staff members was significantly higher. Among females, the prevalence of tobacco chewers was higher in non-teaching staff members. Tobacco usage (both smoking and usage of other forms) rose with age. However, even at 20-30 years of age 25.4% of males were addicted to smoking. A majority of 60.6% had smoked for more than 10 years. Among the staff members (both teaching and non-teaching) the reason for smoking was either to relax or because of addiction, whereas the research scholars smoked to improve their image or for enjoyment/pleasure. The reasons given by users of other forms of tobacco were boredom, to pass the time or for no reason at all. Among non-users, the majority were aware of the harmful effects of smoking. Family pressure and traditions were also important reasons for not smoking. The study provides a clear picture of tobacco usage within the University.","PeriodicalId":73989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of Health","volume":"117 6","pages":"359-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20442449","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}

Although some studies have sought to identify the sources of HIV/AIDS information available to nurses, few have attempted to understand how nurses evaluate such sources. In this study in 1992, 15 sources of HIV/AIDS information were identified during group discussions with nursing staff and nurse tutors. 277 nursing staff evaluated each of the sources in terms of perceived frequency (how often the source is used) and six items chosen to assess the usability and usefulness of each source (e.g. how informative the source is, how easy it is to understand). The results indicate that in-service training, basic training and professional colleagues are the sources evaluated most highly while posters and advertisements, television and radio and popular newspapers are the most frequently used sources of information. Trades unions' journals and pamphlets are the least frequently used sources of information and receive only modest evaluations. 20% of respondents report never having received any training regarding HIV and AIDS. Implications for the future provision of HIV/AIDS information and directions for further research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":73989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of Health","volume":"117 5","pages":"298-303"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/146642409711700507","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20443884","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}
