Item Comprehensive and integrative tertiary institution mental health (TIM-HEALTH) care: developing a protocol for Nigerian Universities.(Community Health Society, Malaysia, 2021) Buhari, Oluwabunmi; Bolarinwa, Oladimeji; Adegoke, Alfred; Ogunmodede, Adebusola; Adegunloye, Olushola; Oguntayo, Rotimi; Malomo, SylviaBackground: There is increasing concerns globally over the mental health of youths especially those in tertiary institutions of learning. University education is associated with stress and conflicts arising from the rigours of learning as well as the transition from dependent to independent life. It is therefore important to identify strategies useful for the improvement of the mental and social wellbeing of this unique stratum of the society.

It will assess mental health literacy, prevalence and risk factors for psychiatric morbidity, and preference for internet-based mental health intervention and its determinants. Data collection would involve the use of a semi-structured self–administered questionnaire on sociodemographic factors, a mental health literacy questionnaire (MHLq) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Descriptive and inferential statistics will be presented while regression model analysis will predict factors associated with mental morbidity and literacy. Results from this data will influence other phases which are aimed at designing appropriate mental health interventions for university students. Expected outcome: This study is aimed at bridging the gap in literature concerning mental disorders among students in University of Ilorin. It would also provide baseline data for the development and implementation of suitable and sustainable interventions to reduce the burden mental ill heath among the students in the university of Ilorin in particular, and by extension students in other Universities across Nigeria.Item Internet- based psychological interventions to improve mental health: preference for and willingness to use among students in Nigerian university.(East African Medical Association, 2021) Buhari, Oluwabunmi; Bolarinwa, Oladimeji; Ogunmodede, Adebusola; Oguntayo, Rotimi; Adegunloye, Olushola; Adegoke, Alfred; Ajokpaniovo, Micheal; Oyeleke, Joseph; Malomo, SylviaObjective:To assess the willingness and preference for Internet-Based Mental Health interventions among university students using a validated self-administered questionnaire, the Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire (MHLq) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Design: A cross-sectional multi-staged randomized study. Setting: The setting was the University of Ilorin, Nigeria Subjects: A total of 3,300 undergraduate students were assessed. Main Outcome Measures: The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used for data analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics, and regression analysis to predict factors associated with willingness and preference was done. Level of significance was set at p-value of 0.05 and confidence interval at 95%. Results: Preference for Internet-Based Mental Health intervention compared to Face-to-Face intervention was 27.7% amongst the 3,179 analyzable questionnaires, while 48.6% respondents were willing to use Internet-Based Mental Intervention. Predictors of willingness to use internet-based support were monogamous family setting (aOR= 1.486), help seeking behaviour (aOR= 2.683) and probable mental illness (aOR= 0.333) while predictors of preference for Internet-Based Intervention over Face-to-Face therapy were younger age (aOR= 1.377), female gender (aOR =1.342), satisfactory relationship with mother and father (aOR = 1.607. 1. 466 respectively), self-help strategies (aOR= 0.713) and good knowledge of mental health (aOR =1.610). Conclusion: Internet-Based Interventions is a viable choice for improving university students’ mental health. Further studies may explore acceptability and use of different aspects of internet-based interventionsItem Mental Health Literacy Among the Undergraduate Students of a Nigerian University: A Pre-Intervention Study(Community Health Society , Malaysia, 2022) Buhari, Oluwabunmi; Adegunloye, Olushola; Bolarinwa, Oladimeji; Ogunmodede, Adebusola; Oguntayo, Rotimi; Adegoke, Alfred; Malomo, Sylvia; Ajokpaniovo, MikeBackground: Mental health in tertiary educational institutions is an important public health concern as many mental disorders have their onset in early life. Early recognition and appropriate intervention lead to better outcomes. In Nigeria not much is known about mental health literacy of undergraduate students. Materials and Methods: This study aimed at assessing the pre-interventional Mental Health Literacy of the undergraduate at a Nigerian University.

Data collection was by questionnaires on socio-demography, Mental Health Literacy, and General Health Questionnaire-12. Descriptive and inferential statistics was done using SPSS version 20.0. Significance level was p ≤0.05 and confidence interval at 95%. Results: About 96% (3179) of the participants correctly took part, with the Global Mental Health Score being above average in 18.6%; (mean+SD); when split into domains, those with above average scores were 14.8 % for health seeking behavior, 9.6% self-help strategies, 13.7%, - knowledge of mental health and erroneous – believe 17.2%. The socio-demographic variables found significant were age groups, female gender, third year of study, affluence and being in faculty of Arts and Humanities, where courses in psychology is part of the curriculum. Conclusion: It was concluded like in the previous studies, that there is an inadequate Mental Health Literacy among undergraduates at the Nigerian University and socio-demographic variables maybe associated with Mental Health Literacy so it is recommended that robust ways should be found to improve Mental Health Literacy on campus.Item Perceived Entrepreneurial Behaviour as Predictor of Entrepreneurial Intention among University of Ibadan Undergraduate Students(Department of Educational Foundations & Counseling, Obafemi Awolowo University Ile Ife, Nigeria., 2018) Johnson, Tunde Oyeleke; Ojewumi, Kehinde Aderemi; Adedayo, Olufunmilayo; Ajibewa, Segun; Ibrahim, Bashirat Abiodun; Oguntayo, Rotimi; Faworaja, OmolaraABSTRACT This study investigated the influence of perceived entrepreneurial behaviour (PEB) as predictor of entrepreneurial intention (EI) among university of Ibadan undergraduate students. Cross-sectional research design was adopted for the study where 341 participants were selected through accidental sampling technique using structured questionnaire that measured PEB as predictor of EI. Zero order correlation and t-test for independent sample and analysis of variance were used at p≤0.05 significant level. Findings revealed that significant relationship existed between perceived entrepreneurial behaviour and EI at {r=.758; p<.01); Participants with high level of perceived entrepreneurial behaviour scored significantly higher on EI t (338) = -3.493; P<.05). Regression analysis showed that age, sex, level in school, parental educational background and PEB jointly predicted entrepreneurial intention (R = .264; R2 =.070; F (5,334) = 5.010; p<.05). The study recommended that acquisition of skills and abilities by students should be encouraged as it will boost the individual self-efficacy and eventually lead to acts of innovation, creativity and exploration of the environment.Item Understanding university community’s mental health needs and the detrminants of wellbeing sequala: a qualitative study. Ife(Ife center for psychological studies and Services, 2022) Oguntayo, Rotimi; Buhari, Oluwabunmi; Oyeleke, Joseph; Bolarinwa, Oladimeji; Ogunmodede, Adebusola; Adegunloye, Olushola; Ajokpaniovo, Mike; Adegoke, Alfred; Malomo, SylviaMental health among university students is on the increase every day, therefore this study investigates mental health needs and determinants of psychological well-being of the university community. This explanatory qualitative research design used a purposive sampling technique to sample 13-participant (with age-ranged between 21 to 57years; age mean=30.7years) at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. Data was gathered using a key informant interview. Themes emerged from the data analysis, and excerpts from the participant interviews were used to illustrate the themes. Following data analysis, the research study found that the age of adolescents with emotional dysregulation, poor lecturers/students relationships, study life imbalance, and inaccessibility to counseling services were shown as the determinants of mental health among university students. Results revealed that there is a need for internet-based mental health services with substance abuse screening and audio/visual display facilities. Furthermore, empowerment of counseling staff, students, and the university community with periodic workshops/seminars on mental health awareness and integration of mental health modules into the General Studies (GNS) curriculum was found as the needs of the university community to boost their mental healthiness. We conclude that adolescence age, poor lecturer-student relationships, study life imbalance, and inaccessible counseling services are determinants of psychological distress. Therefore, insightful and rebranded interventions like e-mental health services and awareness programs are required to restore psychological wellbeing on the university campus.
