This study compares the reach, and utilization patterns, and factors that drive the patterns of utilization of HIV/SRH services by AYP in mobile outreach service centers and health care facilities in Nigeria's capital city. \u0000Methods: Data were obtained from service exit surveys and HIV/SRH service utilization records in selected health facilities and mobile testing outreaches from January to April 2018. The service providers were provided a checklist to capture key information during their interaction with their AYP clients. Data were captured with Microsoft Excel, imported to and analysed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 16. \u0000Results: Community-based mobile outreaches reached a significantly higher proportion of participants, with 88% of them from the community HIV testing points. Among the participants in the SRH service utilization assessment, 20 (15%) and 142 (19%) voluntarily asked for SRH-related information in the health facility and mobile outreach respectively; 53 (40%), and 224 (30%) accepted offer of SRH counselling in the health facility and mobile outreach respectively. There were significant differences in the waiting time for testing and waiting time for result collection at the mobile testing posts and the health facilities. \u0000Conclusion and Implications for Translation: AYP friendly mobile community outreach model shows more promise in terms of reach and also seems to encourage voluntary request for HIV/SRH services among AYP. The costs and waiting times favor the mobile outreach model; however, the quality in terms of personnel and environment was an issue of concern. Hospitals are not providing friendly environments that encourage voluntary uptake of HIV/SRH services by AYPs. A model for AYPs should prioritize community based and friendly services with well-trained personnel in order to build the confidence of AYPs for improved SRH seeking behaviors. \u0000Key words: • HIV • Sexual and reproductive Health • Adolescents and Young People • Preferences • Mobile outreaches services • Health facility testing • Abuja Nigeria \u0000  \u0000Copyright © 2019 Nwakamma et al.

Animals in group 1 received water and feed only. Animals in groups 2 to 6 were induced with diabetes using alloxan. Methanolic leave extracts of P. Guineense were administered to groups 2 to 4 in 40 mg/kg, 80 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg body weights representing low, medium and high doses respectively. Group 5 animals were treated with 10 mg/kg body weight of Glibenclamide (Antidiabetic drug) and group 6 animals were left untreated. All treatments were carried out orally and lasted for a period of 14 days. At the end of the 14 days, the animals were humanely sacrificed through cardiac puncture and the blood samples collected for the analyses of some liver and kidney function parameters using assay kits. \u0000Results: The results showed that the oral doses of methanolic leave extract of P. guineense had no negative alterations on the biochemical parameters analyzed namely, 1) Lipid profile (Triglyceride, Low Density Lipoprotein, Total Cholesterol and High Density Lipoprotein levels), 2) electrolytes profile (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, 3) Urea) and 4) Creatinine levels. Furthermore, there was a significant reduction in the urea levels of treated animals and marked but insignificant reduction in the total cholesterol level and increase in High Density Lipoprotein at P<0.05. \u0000Conclusion and Implication for Translation: The reported antidiabetic P. guineense leaf extract caused no adverse biochemical changes in female diabetic rats. This implied that the extract may not distort the lipid and electrolyte profiles of female diabetics and could be pharmacologically safe in the management of female diabetics. It further implied that the Piper, Uziza, commonly taken after childbirth by nursing mothers in some tropical countries may maintain the lipid and electrolyte balance and consequently, prevent hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. \u0000Keywords: • Diabetes • Piper guineense • Lipids • Electrolytes • Methanolic extracts • Black pepper \u0000  \u0000© 2019 Gordon et al.

{"title":"Willingness to Become Deceased Organ Donors among Post-graduate Students in Selected Colleges in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal","authors":"Pragya Paneru, S. Uprety, S. Budhathoki, B. Yadav, Suman Bhandari","doi":"10.21106/IJTMRPH.77","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21106/IJTMRPH.77","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Globally, there is a discrepancy between demand and availability of organs for transplantation. Transplantation is done from a living donor as well as a brain-dead/deceased donor. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) encourages deceased donor transplantation, since there is no risk to the donor. Although, the Transplant Act of Nepal 2016 opened the doors for deceased donor organ transplantation, the rate of transplantation from deceased donors is very low. Thus, this study assesses factors associated with willingness for deceased organ donation among post-graduate students of law, medicine, and mass communication streams. \u0000Methods: A total of 9 colleges, 3 from each specialty were selected via lottery method. The total sample size calculated was 440. Self- administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. 170, 140 and 130 forms were distributed in law, medicine and mass communication respectively via convenient sampling. Multivariate analysis among the variables that had p- value <0.05 in bivariate analysis was carried out to find out the strongest predictors of willingness to be deceased organ donors. \u0000Results: In all, 53.2% were willing to become deceased organ donors. Family permission in one's wish to donate organs, having someone in family with chronic disease, having attended any conference or general talk on organ donation, knowing a live organ donor and knowing that body will not be left disfigured after organ extraction were found to be the strongest predictors for willingness to be deceased organ donors; while lack of awareness was reported as the main barrier for the same reason. \u0000Conclusion: There is a need for extensive awareness programs and new strategies to motivate individuals and family members for organ donation. \u0000Key words: • Deceased Organ Donation • Willingness • Kathmandu • Nepal • Organ Transplantation • Living Donor • Deceased Donor \u0000  \u0000© 2019 Paneru et al.

{"title":"Stress Coping Strategies Among Secondary School-Aged Students in Government Schools in Northern West Bank/Palestine","authors":"M. Al-Tell, Khulud Mansor","doi":"10.21106/IJTMRPH.78","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21106/IJTMRPH.78","url":null,"abstract":"Background or Objectives: All humans by nature cope with stressors by using productive and non-productive coping strategies. Adolescents and students in particular experience stress mainly due to academic examinations but the strategies adopted by students in the West Bank/Palestine are largely unknown and understudied. This study examines stress-coping strategies adopted by general secondary school-aged students in government schools in Northern West Bank. \u0000Methods: This is a quantitative designed study of 334 students selected from 39 schools utilizing a stratified random sampling method. A self-reporting questionnaire composed of Brief Coping Orientation of Problems Experienced (COPE) was used to identify stress management methods among the students. A scale consisting of 14 domains representing 28 coping methods was created with the following 4-likert-scale response choices: 1) \"I haven't been doing this at all,\" 2) \"I've been doing this a little bit,\" 3) \"I've been doing this a medium amount,\" and 4) \"I've been doing this a lot.\" Respondents reported their views scoring them from 1-4; the mean for each method was calculated and ranged from scores 2-6. \u0000Results: In all, religion (6.30±1.6,1) and planning (6.11±1.35) methods were the predominant domains of coping methods used by majority of the students. Problem-focused and emotion-focused coping methods were used more than the \"less-useful\" coping methods more among females than by their male counterparts. The \"use of instrumental support,\" \"denial,\" and \"behavioral disengagement\" were methods used more by students in the humanities than their counterparts in the scientific branches. \u0000Conclusion and Implications for Translation: Almost all of the students have different levels of stress with different effects. The useful (i.e., \"problem-focused\" and \"emotion-focused\") coping methods were mostly used by students, and the \"less useful\" coping once were used a \"little bit.\" Religion and planning were the predominant coping methods used by students. It is recommended that schools should emphasize on the use of useful evidence-base coping methods to deal with their stress. \u0000Keywords: • Stress • Coping • Coping methods • Secondary schools • Students \u0000  \u0000© 2019 Al-Tell et al.

The purpose of this study was to determine the association of BMI with breast cancer risks among women of Igbo origin in Imo and Abia states in South Eastern Nigeria. \u0000Methods: The study was conducted at three different locations: Abia State University Teaching Hospital Aba, Abia State; Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, Imo State; and the Maranatha Specialist Mission Hospital, Aba, Abia State. This was a prospective hospital-based case control study. Data were collected on socio-demographic characteristics and anthropometric measures using a structured questionnaire. Collected data were imported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. In all, 681 patients participated in the study of which 347 were cases and 334 were controls. The T-test was used to assess statistical differences of height, weight, and BMI in the studied groups. Logistic regressions were used to calculate the multivariate odds ratio (OR) using 95% confidence interval (CI) with significant level set at p>0.05. \u0000Results: Higher BMI is associated with increased risk of breast cancer. There was a significant statistical difference between the height of cases and controls in both pre-and post-menopausal women. The mean value of height was 161.14± 7.1cm among cases compared to controls which was 161.39 cm (p<0.05). The mean weight among cases was 66.34 ± 11.8kg compared to controls at 65.45 ± 9.2kg (p<0.05); the mean BMI was 25.6± 4.8kg/m2 among cases compared to controls 25.1± 4.6 kg/m2 (p<0.05). \u0000Conclusion and Implications For Translation: Primary prevention measures are important to modestly curtail the increasing burden of obesity and high BMI. By controlling the weight, through physical activities, changes in diet and modestly alcohol intake will reduce the risk of breast cancer. \u0000Key words: • Breast Cancer • Imo State • Abia State • South East Nigeria • Body Mass Index • Nigeria \u0000  \u0000© 2019 Oyamienlen et al.

The objective of this study was to determine factors associated with alcohol consumption among secondary school students in high-cost school. \u0000Methodology: A cross-sectional study of 357 students in Grades 8 and 11 was conducted. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. The associations and correlations between explanatory variables and the outcome of interest was established using Chi-square or the Fishe's exact test. Magnitudes of association were estimated using Odds ratio. \u0000Results: The prevalence of alcohol consumption was 43.7%. Factors predictive of students' alcohol use were attitude towards alcohol consumption (AOR=3.15, 95% CI [1.04,9.56]), parental monitoring (AOR=0.69, 95% C.I [0.69, 0.94]), parental alcohol use (AOR= 1.76, 95% C.I [1.39,2.23]) and pocket money availability (AOR= 1.52, 95% CI [1.03,2.26]). \u0000Discussion: The prevalence of alcohol consumption was high. Students with positive attitudes towards alcohol consumption are 3.15 times more likely to drink alcohol compared to students with negative attitudes. Students who are highly monitored by their parents are 31% less likely to drink alcohol compared to those rarely monitored by parents. Students whose parents drink alcohol are 76% more likely to drink alcohol compared to those whose parents do not drink alcohol. Students with high amount of pocket money are 52% more likely to drink alcohol compared to those without pocket money. \u0000Conclusion and Implication for Translation: Results indicate a high prevalence of alcohol consumption. Potential interventions should focus on inclining students' attitudes against alcohol consumption, encouraging increased parental monitoring, and teaching students how to use their pocket money appropriately. \u0000Key words: • Adolescent Alcohol Consumption • Attitude towards alcohol • Parental Monitoring • Parental Alcohol Use • Pocket Money \u0000  \u0000© 2019 Siwale and Siziya.

Echoka","doi":"10.21106/IJTMRPH.70","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21106/IJTMRPH.70","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Provision of a continuum of care during pregnancy, delivery, and the postnatal period results in reduced maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Complications and lack of skilled postnatal care has consequences for mothers and babies. We examined to what extent a community level integrated maternal health intervention contributed to improvements in uptake of skilled care after delivery by pregnant women.  \u0000Methods: An Ex post quasi-experimental design was applied. Among 590 reproductive-aged women, we assessed the effectiveness of a community level integrated maternal health intervention and predictors of uptake of postnatal care. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted.   \u0000Results: About three fifths (64%) of the women reported having sought postnatal care services at the health facility within six (6) weeks. Women in the intervention arm were 3.3 times more likely to take up postnatal care at a health facility (AOR= 3.31[95% CI 1.245 to 8.804] p=0.016). Women referred to the health facility for postnatal care by Community Health Workers (CHWs) were 2.72 times more likely to take up the services (AOR= 2.72[95% CI 1.05 to 7.07] p=0.039) than those not referred by CHWs. Distance to health facility (61%) was the major barrier, while some mothers did not feel the need for postnatal care (11%).  \u0000Conclusion and Implications for Translation: Routine health education by trained providers at community level health facilities, coupled with enhanced CHWs' involvement can improve uptake of postnatal care. Ignorance and accessibility challenges are some barriers to the uptake of postnatal care. \u0000Key words: • Community • Maternal • Health • Intervention • Postnatal-Care • Kenya • MAISHA • Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) • Community Health Workers (CHWs) \u0000  \u0000© 2019 Gitonga et al.

The study examines the differences in the hematological profile of pregnant and nonpregnant women in Port Harcourt, in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. \u0000METHODS: \u0000The subjects were systematically sampled, comprising of 90 pregnant and 90 non-pregnant women, with ages ranging 16 to 45 years. Five milliliters of whole blood was collected from each subject at ambient temperature using standard venepuncture techniques and three milliliters was dispensed in EDTA bottle. T-test was used to compare the mean of the parameters among the pregnant and nonpregnant women. Analysis of variance was used to compare the means for the parameters within the three trimesters. Tukey’s Post Hoc test was used to identify the trimester pairs that had significant mean difference, Hematological parameters were analyzed using Abacus380 hematological analyzer. The data obtained were coded and analysed using SPSS version 20 and data were considered significant at p≤0.05. \u0000RESULTS: \u0000Comparison of pregnant women with controls showed that Total White Blood Count TWBC), monocytes, neutrophils, Mean Cell Volume (MCV), and Mean Cell Hemoglobin (MCH) were significantly increased in pregnancy (p<0.05); while Red Blood Cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and Mean Cell Hemoglobin concentration were significantly decreased (p<0.01). The following hematological parameters showed significant mean variation within the 3 trimesters: MCH (F=3.59, p=0.03) and MCHC (F=16.85, p<0.01). MCHC showed significant difference between first versus second trimesters (p=<0.01) and 1st vs. 3rd trimesters (p=<0.01). \u0000CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR TRANSLATION \u0000The lower hematocrit and hemoglobin level of pregnant women when compared with the non-pregnant controls implies that there is need for more emphasis on the importance of prenatal vitamin supplementation during the antenatal period, perhaps leveraging prenatal counselling sessions.
