    Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in middle aged men in igeria: yet prostate cancer screening is not a common practice, thus resulting in late presentation of patients to the hospital when little or no cure can be administered. This study seeks to assess the awareness and practice of prostate cancer screening among middle age men in a rural community in Kwara State. A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 158 respondents using purposive sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was a selfstructured questionnaire and the response rate was 98.1 %. Data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics with level of significant set at 5% (0.05). The data were presented in tables and chart. The result revealed that the majority of the respondents were between age 55-65years. Only 34.8% of respondents were aware about prostate cancer (PCa) screening and their main source of information was mass media. All the respondents (100%) have never gone for prostate cancer screening hefore and the major reasons identified for poor practice of pea screening were lack 01' awareness (45.8%). unavailability of the screening tests(28.4%) misconceptions about screening test 24 (15.5%) and cost of screening 13 (8.4%). However. majority (85.2%) of respondents were willing to go for prostate cancer screening if recommended by health care professionals. The study concluded that respondents demonstrated poor awareness and practice· of PCa screening. despite willingness to screen if recommended. Therefore. there is need for healthcare providers to sensitize the public and provide counselling for high-risk individuals on PCa screening in order for them to make informed choices and improve uptake of the screening: and this will in turn help curb the burden of prostate cancer in this population

    The study assessed the knowledge and practice of self-medication among students of Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA). The study employed a cross-sectional descriptive study which utilized a validated self-structured questionnaire for data collection. A total of 80 respondents from Anatomy department were recruited for the study. The study findings show. that majority of respondents were between ages 15 and 20 years. Findings indicated the level of students' knowledge and practice about self-medication is very high. Our study further showed that that the reason for the practice of selj- medication is the stress of going to the healthcare facility and financial constraints. Practice of seij-medication in the FUTA may lead to serious consequences. It is therefore necessary for nurses to recognize all the factors contributing to the practice of self-medication and be able to give proper health information and education on the use of drugs. effects of drugs on the body system when taken in wrong doses when they meet students.

    (College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences, University of Sierra Leone, 2016) Afolayan, Joel Adeleke; Onasoga, Olayinka A.; Rejuaro, FM; Yusuf, Abdur-Rashid Gambari; Chibuike\, O
    Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a global childbirth-related problem that affects many women and if ignored can have long-term adverse consequences, for both mother and child. Therefore, timely identification of its risk factors requires a good knowledge base for the care provider. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was used to assess the knowledge of PPD and its associated risk factors among nurse-midwives in a tertiary hospital in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select a sample size 114 nurse-midwife respondents. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. The same were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with level of significance was set at 0.05(5%). Findings: Despite the fact that majority of nurse-midwives rated their information level on postpartum depression as moderate, most of them still maintained that cigarette smoking, unwanted pregnancy, poor economic status cannot predispose a woman to PPD. Furthermore, majority affirmed that Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) can be used to screen for PPD yet only about half of the respondents opined that PPD tendency can be detected during pregnancy and less than half of them affirmed that a score of > 10 using the EPDS indicates depression. The study also found significant relationship between educational qualification and level of information about PPD and its associated risk factors. Conclusion: The level of knowledge of nurse-midwives is not at the expected level since majority still have knowledge deficit regarding risk factors and how to detect PPD. Hence, it was recommended that periodic suitable training programs on PPD should be developed for healthcare professionals especially for nurse-midwives who are the first point of contact during antenatal, labour and post-natal period.

    OUTCOME OF A NURSE-LED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME ON KNOWLEDGE OF SELF-CARE STRATEGIES AMONG PREGNANT ,WOMEN IN SELECTED LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS IN IBADAN, NIGERIA
    (Faculty of Nursing, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology., 2019-11) Aluko, Joel O.; Ajani, Olanrewaju; Sowunmi, Christiana O.; Modeste, Regis R.; Ani, Odinaka B.; Onasoga, Olayinka A.
    Maternal mortality remains a public health concern in most developing countries, as 99% of all reported maternal deaths stem from such developing countries. Even with this growing concern, research has shown that women's knowledge about pregnancy related self-care is insufficient. This study therefore assessed the outcome of a nurse-led educational programme on knowledge of self-care strategies during pregnancy. A non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design was used, while a multistage sampling technique was employed to recruit 209 pregnant women. A validated structured questionnaire with 0.9 reliability coefficient was used to collect data from 119 pregnant women in the experimental group and 90 in the control group. Data were collected in three phases. Data collected was analysed using SPSS version 22. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Relevant ethical issues were strictly considered. A very low level of knowledge was reported in both the experimental and control group prior to intervention. A geometric rise in the level of knowledge was however noticed in the experimental group post intervention, as most of them were able to demonstrate adequate knowledge of the different domains. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses at all levels must be equipped with this promising intervention to effectively to educate pregnant women on self-care strategies, as these would enhance efforts towards safer pregnancy and safer childbirth. The intervention should be administered to larger population to further establish its efficacy.

    (Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Nigeria., 2020) Aluko, Joel O.; Onasoga, Olayinka A.; Peretomode, Evans; Udo, Eunice; Salau, Adeola R.
    The high number of students who are majorly adolescents and young adults harboring suicidal ideation, as reported by various sources is becoming alarming. This descriptive cross-sectional study aims to examine the suicidal ideation and depression among undergraduate students in a tertiary institution in North central, Nigeria. A total of 136 undergraduates from three purposively selected faculties in the institution were conveniently recruited for the study and data obtained using a self-structured questionnaire. Ethical approval was obtained; respondents were fully informed and gave a verbal consent to participate in the study. Data collection lasted for a period of four weeks a~ duly completed questionnaires were retrieved on the spot. The data collected was analysed by using Statistical Product Service Solution (SPSS) version 23.0. Results were summarized using descriptive statistics of simple percentage, mean, standard deviation and presented on table, pie chart and bar chart. Chi square was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study found that majority of the respondents 81(59.6%) were females while 55(40.4%) were males as vast majority of them 89(65.4%) were between the ages of 20 and 25 years. About 59 (43.4%) were assessed to be normal, 39 (28.9%) had moderate depression, 23 (16.9%) had mild depression, while 15 (II %) had severe depression. Regarding the coping mechanism, majority (62.5%) claimed that they sleep when they feel stressed, 30 (22.1 %) pray while others cry (11.8%), use marijuana (1.5%), play games (0.7%), eat (0.7%), sleep and pray (0.7%). Over 70% or the respondents were satisfied with their relationship with family and friends. A significant association existed between respondents' level of suicidal ideation & depression and their satisfaction towards relationship with family and fellow students. There was a significant difference in the depression rating scores among the three selected faculties. Satisfaction with family. friend and lecturer relationships playa major role in predicting suicidal ideation and depression. Therefore, intervention for encompassing good coping mechanism may contribute to a more positive outcome in the adolescents and young adults.
