    (Faculty of Science, University of Ilorin, 2025-12-01) Giwa H.B; Oluwaseyi A; Jamiu M.O; Giwa F.S; Giwa A
    This study evaluated health-related quality of life (HRQoL), productivity loss, and associated factors among HIV/AIDS patients on antiretroviral therapy at a tertiary-level hospital in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients registered in the clinic during the preceding ten years. Data were collected using the World Health Organization Quality of Life HIV Brief (WHOQOL-HIV-BREF) and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: General Health (WPAI:GH). Of the 358 participants, 94 (26.3%) were male and 264 (73.7%) females. Majority age group were 39-55years 204 (56%). Most respondents were married at 216 (60.3%) and did not perceive themselves as ill 334 (93.2). The overall (HRQoL) score was 59.34%, with 71.34% and 75.05% observed in the psychological and physical domains. Single individuals had increased scores of 30,25, 10 and 20 across HRQoL domains. Work impairment and overall activity impairment scores, as outcomes of work productivity, were found to be 12.81% and 14.35%, respectively. The highest percentage of patients (86.2 %) were on a Dolutegravir (DTG) based regimen, while others were on Atazanavir boosted regimens. Overall HRQol scores showed that participants were coping moderately well but had unmet needs due to chronic nature of the disease. Advanced medical care positively impacts the physical and psychological domains of HRQoL. The disease exerts a mild to moderate impact on productivity. Notably, psychological status shows a stronger association with loss of productivity. Higher HRQoL scores are strongly linked to reduced activity impairment and productivity. Emphasis should be on comprehensive care addressing physical, psychological, environmental and social aspects of HIV.

    Ethics Education for Contemporary Clinical Pharmacy Practice in Africa
    (2021-09-20) Okoro N.R; Jamiu M.O
    The paradigm shift to a patient-centred pharmacy practice model has resulted in dramatic increases in the number and variety of ethical and other dilemmas that confront pharmacists in their routine practice. However, ethical problems may go undetected by many pharmacists in most developing countries. Hence, there is a huge need for sound educational preparation of future pharmacists before they are faced with an urgent decision. This paper highlights the urgent need for pharmacy ethics to be adequately taught in schools of pharmacy, especially at the undergraduate and professional levels, so that future pharmacists can begin their professional careers with adequate ethical knowledge, skills, competencies and experience to detect and resolve ethical dilemmas of the contemporary patient-centred pharmacy practice.

    Impact of Knowledge and Practice of Lifestyle/dietary Modification on Quality of Life of Hypertensive Patients: A Randomised Controlled Study
    (Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia (University of Science Malaysia Press), 2025-04-30) Jamiu M.O; Abdulazeez I.F; Giwa H.B
    Hypertension (HTN) is a leading cause of disability and death in both developing and developed countries with lifestyle/dietary modification playing a strong role in both prehypertension and hypertensive state. The research was carried out among 317 patients at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, who were randomised into control (158) and intervention (159) groups. Intervention was carried out after baseline study and 6 months with evaluation at 6 months and 12 months. A self-developed standardised questionnaire, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.849, was used to assess patients’ knowledge, while quality of life was evaluated using the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale (WHOQOLBREF) standardised questionnaire. A total of 136 participants in the control group and 139 in the intervention group completed the study. The mean age of the patients was 59.2 ± 12.5 with male = 141 (44.5%) while female = 176 (55.5%). Baseline characteristics were comparable. Following intervention, 6 months and 12 months knowledge difference was significant (p < 0.001). A significantly different practice in physical activity (p < 0.001) was observed at 6 months while all the four area of practice were significantly different at 12 months. The practice of dietary modification in the intervention group was similarly significantly different in the intervention group at 6 months and 12 months (p < 0.05). Significant reduction in alcohol intake (p < 0.001), dietary sodium (p < 0.001) and increase in physical activity were associated with improved quality of life but, not reduction in sugar intake (p = 0.325). Good practice of lifestyle and dietary modification was found to improve quality of life among hypertensive patient

    (Libyan International Medical University, 2024-08-17) Aliyu F.O; Orimogunje T; Bello S.I; Abdulbaki M; Jamiu M.O; Ogaji I.J
    Background Patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of developing dyslipidemia, predisposing them to macro- and microvascular consequences such as coronary heart disease. Aim The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of dyslipidemia, drug therapy problems (DTPs), and medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in a tertiary hospital in North Central Nigeria. Method This study was a cross-sectional convenient sampling of eligible patients conducted in the General Outpatient Department of General Hospital, Ilorin, from March to May 2022. A validated questionnaire was administered to obtain all relevant information on sociodemographic information, and blood samples were collected in a medium plain heparinized tube and sent to the laboratory where fasting blood sugar, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) values were calculated as appropriate. Morisky’s Medication Adherence Scale 8 (MMAS-8) was used to capture patient’s adherence level, and DTP was assessed using the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) Criteria version 7. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ministry of Health, Ilorin. Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to analyze the data collected for descriptive and inferential statistics. Results Themean age of the respondents was 60 0.7 years. Of the 60 respondents, 25 (41.67%) were males and 35 (58.33%) were females. All the respondents had dyslipidemia, 30% respondents were identified with a DTP of nonadherence, 16.7% needed additional drug/monitoring, dosagewas too lowin11.7%, and11.6%could not afford theirmedication due to high cost. In all, 45 (75%) respondents had poor sugar control and 33 (55%) had poor blood pressure control. UsingMMAS-8, the majority (41, [68.30%]) of the respondents were found to have poor adherence to their diabetic medications. Conclusion High prevalence of dyslipidemia, poor medication adherence, and DTPs were found in the T2DM patients in this study.

    Hepatitis C (Hep.C) virus infection is highly prevalent with elevated undetected cases globally. The goals of this study were to evaluate seroprevalence and potential predictors associated with HepC antibodies among students in two tertiary educational institutions in Kwara State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional research was conducted with structured questionnaires on socio-demographics and potential predictors for HepC infection which were filled by the participants. Three millilitre of blood sample was collected from each participant to screen for anti-Hepatitis C Virus antibodies. In each tertiary educational institution, 166 participants were recruited. Ethical approval and informed consents were obtained. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. In both institutions, the majority of the participants (263, 79.2%) were within the ages of 21-25 years. One hundred and thirty-two (79.5%) and one hundred and thirty-one (78.9%) were within the ages of 21-25 years in the College of Education, Oro and Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, respectively. Also, ninety-nine (59.6%) in the College of Education and ninety-five (57.2%) in Kwara State Polytechnic were females. Zero (0.0) and 0.6 percent seroprevalence of HepC virus infection were found among participants in the College of Education, Oro and Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin respectively. Also, none of the demographic, social and medical variables was significantly associated with the seroprevalence of HepC infection. The seroprevalence rates of HepC virus infection were low in the institutions studied. None of the risk factors was associated with HepC positivity.
