Item Antibiotics Sensitivity Profile Of Proteus Species Associated With Specific Infections at University Of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin(Published by College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, 2017) Giwa, A; Akanbi II, A.A; Nyamngee, A; Njan, A.A; Olubiyi, S.K; Rejuaro, F.M; Iman, S.A; Adedoja, A.AProteus is a proiitiiieni member ol llie I'amily Enterobacteriaeeae responsible for a variety ot' infections in human, such infections include urinary tract infection and many other opportunistic infections in human. The threat of antimicrobial resistance among important isolates is of great concern. This study was conducted to deteniiine the prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Proteus spp associated with its specific infections at the University of llorin Teaching Hospital llorin. A retrospective review of cultures results of urine, wound swabs, ear and throat swabs were analysed. A total of 1,500 clinical samples were examined for identification of bacteria and their antimicrobial susceptibility. The greatest number of Proteus spp isolates were from wound swabs, 57.1%. followed by mid-stream urine 20.4%. Males were found to be more vulnerable than females in acquiring Proteus infections, 53.1% and 46.9% respectively. Results of the antimicrobial sensitivity testing showed that Imipenem and Piperacillin antibiotics were the most effective against Proteus spp with each having 100%, follow'ed by Ceftazidime 79.2%, and Ofloxacin 76.5%. The least effective antibiotic against Proteus was Augmentin 58.1% sensitivity. It is therefore recommended that Imipenem and Piperacillin should be used in the treatment of Proteus infections, and where both are not affordable. Ceftazidime and Ofloxacin could be used in the study area for the treatment of infections caused by Proteus. Regular monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility is recommended.Item Child Abuse Practice among Parents in Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria(Faculty of Social Sciences UsmanuDanfodiyo University, Sokoto., 2018) Rejuaro, F.M; Onasoga, O.A; Afolayan, J.A; Olubiyi, S.K; Ibitoye, B.MDespite the serious long-term health and economic consequences, child abuse is still a global problem that is deeply rooted in cultural, economic and social practices and is on the increase.

A phenomenological study design was used to assess the psychosocial burden of sickle cell disease child’s parents attending sickle cell clinic in University of Ilorin teaching hospital. A total population of 20 parents of the SCD children was purposively sampled for this study. The sickle cell clinic days was targeted for collection of data from parents till the data saturation was reached. A researcher designed In-Depth Interview Questionnaire (IDIQs) was used as interview guides for data collection. The content and face validity and the reliability of the instrument was ascertained based on the study objectives and a pilot study conducted on 10 parents of sickle cell children attending a similar medical center in Ilorin. The ethical clearance for this study was obtained from the ethical review committee of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital and letter of ethical approval was presented to sickle cell clinic and pediatric wards of the Hospital. Informed consent was obtained from Children’s parents. The results showed that majority of caregivers had adequate knowledge about the SCD and were exposed to psychosocial and financial burden due to the nature of the child demanding condition. This study concludes that the burden of SCD does not only affect the child but also had physical, psycho-social and economic challenges on the parents of the children living with SCD. Based on this conclusion, it was therefore recommended that both government and management of health institutions and communities should subsidize the cost of SCD treatment and strengthen the family support system for families of child living with SCD.Item Use of Health Information Communication Technology for Patient Care among Nurses in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin(International Journal of Information Processing and Communication (IJIPC)., 2018) Jibril, N.U; Rejuaro, F.M; Ibraheem, M.A; Imam, A.A; Onasoga, O.O; Ibeun, F.OHealth Information Communication and Technology (HICT) contribute to health education, knowledge sharing, health monitoring, statistics gathering and delivery of care in health institutions of Nigeria.
