Item Assessing levels of anxiety and Psychological Distress among Pregnant Women in a South-west State of Nigeria: A descriptive Cross-sectional, Exploratory Study(Advances in Applied Science Research, 2023) Anyebe, E.E; Olubiyi, S.K; Jibril, N.U; Aluko, J.O; Ibraheem, M.A; Oyekunle, AMental health problems affect nearly one-fifth of pregnant women during prenatal and postpartum periods; being particularly vulnerable to psychological distress and anxiety because of immense physiologic and psychosocial changes associated with pregnancy. Screening pregnant women for psychological wellbeing remains ignored. This study assessed the levels of anxiety and psychological distress among pregnant women Attending Antenatal Clinic (ANC) at a General Hospital in Oyo State, southwest Nigeria. Adopting the quantitative descriptive survey method, data were collected from a consecutive sample of 102 pregnant women using modified versions of the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) Scale. The data collected were analyzed descriptively using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. Results reveal that over 40% of the women reported moderate to severe psychological distress (21.6% “moderate disorder” and 20.6% “severe disorder.”) with another 36.3% reporting “mild disorder;” Only 21.6% of them were “likely to be well.” On the anxiety scale, a large majority (87.3%) of the women reported low level of anxiety, and the remaining 12.7% moderate anxiety; none reported any worrying level of anxiety. Further descriptive analysis suggests varying anxiety and psychological distress levels could be related to participants’ socio-demographic variables. The study shows levels of psychological distress and anxiety are being experienced by many pregnant women, portending possible high risks of developing mental health disorders during and after pregnancy. The antenatal clinics and periods should be the most suitable places and times for routine and periodic assessment of psychological distress and anxiety in all pregnant women for early interventions. More expanded and intervention-focused studies are however necessary as next steps, as this study is essentially exploratory.Item Assessing levels of anxiety and Psychological Distress among Pregnant Women in a South-west State of Nigeria: A descriptive Cross-sectional, Exploratory Study(Prime Scholars London United Kingdom, 2023-01-30) Anyebe, E.E; Olubiyi, S.K; Jibril, N.

This study examined the impact of health education intervention (HEI) on access to antenatal care services by pregnant women in Edu Local Government Area (LGA), Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental research employing pre-test and post-test control group design was adopted.A researchers-designed questionnaire was used for data collection and the split-half test of reliability was used to determine its reliability. One hundred and twenty pregnant women were exposed to 10 weeks of HEI after pre-test, 60 experimental groups were exposed to the lectures on antenatal care services, and 60 control groups were exposed to HIV/AIDS sessions, followed by post-test. The descriptive statistics was used to answer research questions, while the inferential statistics of t-test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 significance level. Results: This study showed upward shift from pre-intervention mean of 71.08 to 93.33 post intervention mean in the experimental groups which implied the positive impact of HEI on the knowledge and willingness of pregnant women to access antenatal care services in Edu LGA. Conclusions: It was concluded that HEI could have positive impact on the knowledge and willingness of pregnant women to access antenatal care services, hence HEI needs to be sustained to improve the pregnant women’s health-seeking behaviors about antenatal care services in Edu LGA.Item Knowledge and Practice of Self-care among Type 2 Diabetes Patients attending University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria.(Islamic University Multidisciplinary Journal (IUMJ), 2020) Jibril, N.U; Fatimo, I; Anyebe, E.E; Aluko, J.O; Ibraheem, M.A; Imam, A.A; Abdulhameed, A.ODiabetes is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality and it has a significant impact on the patients’ quality of life, productivity and involves enormous health costs for virtually every society. The objective of this study is to assess knowledge and practice of Self-care amongType 2 diabetes patients attending University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin (UITH) Nigeria. This study is a descriptive research design in which purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of 165 diagnosedType 2 diabetes patients attended to at UITH. Data was collected using structured self-designed questionnaires and analyzed was done using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21. The study revealed that most respondents were within mean age of 35 years and majority of them have average knowledge about diabetes and its causes. However, their knowledge level about the disease does not reflect the practice of self-care and quite significant number of them did not comply with diabetes treatment regimen. This study concluded that there is significant relationship between age and practice of self-care among Type 2diabetic patients and significant relationship also exist between self-care practices and re-admission, attended to in UITH. Based on the conclusion of this study, we recommended that health education on patient care practices should be encouraged in health institutions and strict adherence to diabetic treatment regimen should also be emphasized during patients’ visit to clinics following the discharge.Item Predictor of Nursing Mothers’ Accessibility to Child Welfare Services: A Case of Palm Avenue Primary Health Care Centre, Mushin, Lagos State(Islamic University Multidisciplinary Journal (IUMJ), 2020) Adeosun, O.O; Jibril, N.U; Anyebe, E.E; Olubiyi, S.K; Afolabi, W.A; Ibraheem, M.A; Yelwa, TChild welfare is an integral part of maternal and child health care that constitutes a major component of primary health care services designed to promote health and prevent diseases among children. This study main objective is to investigate the predictors of nursing mothers’ Knowledge, accessibility to and willingness to use child welfare services in Palm Avenue Primary Health Care Centre, Mushin, Lagos, Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional survey is used in this study. The study population for this study were all nursing mothers attending clinic at Palm Avenue Mushin Local Government Area, Lagos, Nigeria from which 134 respondents were selected by convenient sample method for this study. A 38 question-items questionnaire was used to obtain data from nursing mothers and analysis of the data was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software Version 20.0. Findings revealed that, attitude of health workers (56.3%), lack of money (49.2%), and support received from the families, (46.9%) influenced mothers’ health seeking behaviour visit child welfare centers. A significant association also existed between the attitude, the age, marital status of nursing mothers (X2=7.317, P-value= 0.026) and nature of their occupation (X2 =15.423, P-value=0.001respectively with the attendance of the child welfare health facilities in study area. This study concluded that attitudinal issues of workers, economic factors, marital status and occupational affiliations of mothers are predictors of nursing mothers’ accessibility to and utilization of child welfare services. It is therefore recommended that healthcare professionals and managers should intensify effort on ameliorating these factors to encourage access to and utilization of child health welfare services.Item Psychosocial burden of mothers’ care of children with autism attending Federal Neuro-psychiatric Hospital Yaba Nigeria(Texila American University, Guyana., 2022) Olubiyi, S.K; Anyebe, E.E; Ndie, E.C.; Ajidahun, J.; Ayodele, B.J; Irodi, C.C; Ibraheem, M.A; Ayo, E.EAutism spectrum disorder (ASD), or simply autism, occupies an extreme position among childhood pathologies due to its severity, duration, and impact on the family. This descriptive study assessed the psychosocial burden of care on 60 mothers of children with childhood autism. The instrument consisted of socio-demographic characteristics, 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZCGI). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results indicated a significantly high level of psychological distress (51.8%) among mother of children with autism, and (30%) thirty percent of mothers of children with autism had a low burden. Bivariate analysis revealed factors that were associated with psychological distress in mother of these children were the presence of social type of impairments and a high number of impairment in the child having to cut down or give up work and a high burden score on these women believed to be a spillover from the care burden. Results also showed the number of impairments at various periods: 12 months (51.79%), 6-12 months (30.36%), and less than 6 months are (17.86%). Mothers’ employment rate was cut down to 51.9%, while 25.9% gave up their job completely. These were significantly and independently associated with psychological distress. Conclusively, the study revealed that mothers of children with autism experience significant higher levels of burden. Hence, an urgent need for the implementation of intervention programmes to reduce the burden of care among this group of mothers in Nigeria with social support and governmental assistance and approaches
