Item Attitude of Health Workers Towards Management of Hepatitis B Infection in General Hospitals in Kwara State, Nigeria(University of Tripoli Alahlia-Libya, 2024) Abdulrasaq, Qazeem Onaolapo; Abdulraheem, Adijat Mojisola; Jamiu, Abdulqudus Oluwatosin; Ijaodola, Tawakalitu Kikelomo; Jidda, Kafayah Adeola; Onobumeh MargaretHepatitis B is one of the most dangerous diseases in the world and it has become a serious threat to public health. Health workers are mostly at risk of contracting the disease as they remain the first point of call to the victims. This study examined the attitudes of health workers towards management of HBV infection and the difference in attitudes of health workers based on area of specialization. An ex-post facto research design sampling 412 health workers across different areas of specialization which include doctors, nurses, laboratory scientists and laboratory technicians. Majority of the health workers had negative attitudes towards HBV patients. However, doctors (mean score=3.72) and nurses (mean score=3.54) had mild negative attitudes towards HBV patients, while laboratory scientists (mean score=3.02) and laboratory technicians (mean score=3.04) had the poorest attitudes towards HBV patients. There is need to improve the attitudes of the different cadres of health workers in the state, in order to improve the quality of life of HBV patients and reduce stigma which may impact negatively on patients’ mental health.Item Attitudinal and Practical Differences between Male and Female Primary Healthcare Workers towards Prevention of Healthcare-Associated Infection in Kwara-North Senatorial District(Department of Health, Safety and Environmental Education, Faculty of Education, University of Benin, 2021-11) Kperogi, Ibrahim Ismaila; Abdulrasaq, Qazeem Onaolapo; Ologele, Ibrahim; Abdulraheem, Adijat Mojisola; James, Joke FeliciaThis study examined Attitudinal and Practical Differences between Male and Female Primary Healthcare Workers (PHCWs) towards Prevention of. Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) in Kwara-North Senatorial District. The objectives of this research were to examine the attitudinal and practical differences between male and female primary healthcare workers towards prevention of healthcare-associated infections in Kwara-North Senatorial District. The study adopted a descriptive research design of the survey type, using a multi stage random sampling technique to select 760 PHCWs in Kwara North Senatorial District. Pretested semi structured questionnaire was used to collect data from selected PHCWs, while Mean and standard deviations as well as one sample t- test statistics were used to analyze the data on research questions and hypotheses respectively. Level of significance used was set at P. value < 0.05. It was observed that there were more female PHCWs that had better attitude towards prevention of infections than their male counterparts. More so, higher number of the female PHCWs had good practice of preventive measures during healthcare delivery process than their male counterparts (calculated t-value of 11.102 is greater than 1.972 t critical at df 758). It was therefore concluded that there was good attitude and practice among female PHCWs on preventive measures against HAIs in Kwara-North Senatorial District (calculated t-value of 20.313 is greater than 1.972 t critical at df 758). It.was recommended that there is need to intensify refresher trainings on the importance of safety measures towards improving the attitudes and practices of preventing HAIs among PHCWs in Kwara-North Senatorial District.Item Awareness and Attitude towards Premarital Health Screening for Choice of Marriage Patrners among Undergraduates in the University of Ilorin, Nigeria(Department of Vocational Education, University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria, 2016-05) Raji, Ahmad Omotayo; Alebiosu, Emmanuel Olorunleke; Abdulrasaq, Qazeem Onaolapo; Jamiu, Oluwatosin Qudus; Oniyangi, S.

The most prominent of the problems faced by the nation today is the Boko Haram insurgency. Boko Haram is a terrorist group which strongly perceive western education as forbidden. They then began the killings of who ever have received western education. They kidnap mostly, women and girls of childbearing age. The gruesome attacks by Boko Haram insurgents on women cannot be overemphasized. Girls are been abducted and used as suicide bombers while others are brutally raped and impregnated. Some of these women after being rescued result to abortion of the unwanted pregnancies while others see it as their fate and may decide to have the babies. This gave rise to series of reproductive health problems among the internally displaced persons (women) especially those living in the internally displaced camps. Several conditions in their new abode have made them prone to HIV, STIs, abortion, domestic violence, infertility and other reproductive health challenges. Effective reproductive health care is advocated for these womenItem Causes of incomplete immunization among under-one year old in Ilorin south local government area, Kwara state, Nigeria(Department of Health Promotion and Environmental Health Education, 2015) Onifade, O. A.; Ologele, Ibrahim; James, J. F.; Abdulrasaq, Qazeem OnaolapoAbstract Incomplete immunization has led to increase in the number of infections which children suffer from and which could have been prevented if completed.
