O.; Sowunmi, C. O.; Arowojolu, D.; Ojo, A.; Ogunmodede, E. O.; Ajibade, B. L. Abstract: Background: Globally, neonatal sepsis still remains the major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates within 28days of life or younger, in spite of recent advances in the health care units. Higher percentage of under-five mortality occurs globally during the first week of newborns life which are related to neonatal and maternal risk factors. Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess the incidence of neonatal sepsis and its risk factors among neonates admitted into General Hospital, Igbokoda. Retrospectively between the year January, 2016 and December, 2019. Method: The research design used for study was cross sectional, retrospective and non-experimental design. The study was conducted at General Hospital, Igbokoda.The sample size was obtained from the record department based on the number of case files of the neonates admitted into General Hospital, Igbokoda from January 2016 – December 2019. that were retrieved using a purposive sampling technique while a structured check list with reliability index of 0.789 was used as the tool of data collection from Case files of neonates with the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Result: The findings revealed that the overall incidence rate of neonatal sepsis was 22.2 per 1000 livebirths among the total 120 neonates used in this study in which. The maternal factors identified to cause neonatal sepsis include maternal age 88 (73.3%), parity 77 (64.2%), digital examination 68 (56.7%), level of education, place of delivery, PROM, and occupation. The study also revealed that neonatal factors causing neonatal sepsis are, neonatal age115 (95.8%), sex of the neonate, birth asphyxia, pgar score at birth 36 (30%). The outcome of neonatal sepsis revealed that 49 (40.8%) were discharged home without complication, 31 (25.8%) were discharged home with complications, 36 (30.0%) were referred and 4 (3.3%) were recorded dead. Conclusion: Based on the above outcome, it is recommended that more attention should be given to newborn care especially in their first week of life. Health education should be given to pregnant women within the vulnerable age during antenatal and post - natal visits. More attention should be given to the primipara women during labor and health care providers should ensure that digital vaginal examination is done when it is strictly needed. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z ir.bowen.edu.ng:8181/jspui/handle/123456789/1977 Title: Intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing job satisfaction among nurses working in two selected government owned hospital in Lagos, Nigeria Authors: Olajide, A. O.; Sowunmi, C. O.; Adeleke, B. O.; Ojo, A.; Ogunmodede, E. O.; Ajibade, B. L. Abstract: Background: Job satisfaction affects not only the quality of the function exercised by the nurse, job satisfaction is found to be one of the most important factors determining the quality of work, productivity, turnover and organizational performance. Objectives: The study determined the intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing job satisfaction among nurses working in two selected general hospital in Lagos state, Nigeria. The study was conducted among 227 Nurses at General Hospital Odan and Gbagada General Hospital Lagos State. Method: Descriptive research design was used and simple random technique was use to recruit respondents for the study after determining the sample size of 227 using Cochran’s formular. Self-administered questionnaires with reliability index of 0.806 were used to collect data from the respondents. Data was then analyzed using Statistical Software SPSS, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to answer the hypotheses and result were presented in tables and figures. Result: The result showed a low level of job satisfaction, 100% of the respondents were not satisfied with their monthly allowance and believed that their salaries are not commensurate with their level of competence.There is a significant relationship ;between work environment and job satisfaction; Cal. X2=6.545; df=3; p<0.05);between supervision and job satisfaction; Cal. X2=130.2; df=2; p<0.05); between organisation and administrative policy; Cal. X2=6.018; df=3; p<0.05) between interpersonal relationship and job satisfaction Cal. X2=142.7; df=1; p<0.05) an between salary and job satisfaction; Cal. X2=8.107; df=2; p<0.05) . This implies that job satisfaction is dependent on some extrinsic factors. The intrinsic factors identified to influence nurses job satisfaction include: r achievement ; Cal. X2=345.6; df=3; p<0.05); recognition Cal. X2=60.7; df=3; p<0.05); responsibility Cal. X2=617.7; df=4; p<0.05); advancement Cal. X2=265.02; df=1; p<0.05); work, work schedule and workload; Cal. X2=674.9; df=5; p<0.05) and communication; Cal. X2=178; df=2; p<0.05). Conclusion: The management of the hospitals should therefore be encourage improving upon nurses’remuneration, creating healthy practicing environment and improve their staffing of nurses to retain the practicing nurses and attract younger generation into the profession. 2020-04-01T00:00:00Z ir.bowen.edu.ng:8181/jspui/handle/123456789/1754 Title: Uptake of cervical cancer screening and associated factors among women attending selected government owned hospital in Abuja, Nigeria Authors: Olajide, A. O.; Adedoyin, A. O.; Ogunmodede, E. O.; Oyewumi, Z. O.; Ajibade, B. L. Abstract: Cervical cancer is one of female gynecological cancer that causes high morbidity especially in developing countries. It is a preventable disease that can be identified early through screening but the uptake of screening is low in developing countries, Nigeria inclusive. This study assessed uptake of cervical cancer screening and associated factors among women attending selected government owned hospital in Abuja, Nigeria. Descriptive research design was employed and simple random technique was used to select 224 respondents. Questionnaire with reliability index of 0.737 was used as instrument for data collection. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS package. Descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages was used and results were presented in tables. The outcome of the study shows that 93.8% of the respondents have heard about cervical cancer preventive strategies and only 45.1% had utilized it. The factors identified to influence the uptake of cervical cancer screening services in this study were knowledge and awareness about cervical cancer screening services, affordability, fear of having a positive result, women’s level of education, non recommendation of screening by health workers and accessibility of Hospitals for screening. It is therefore recommended that cervical cancer screening should be made accessible and affordable. Women should be educated on the importance of screening and not to be afraid of positive results. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z ir.bowen.edu.ng:8181/jspui/handle/123456789/1743 Title: Efficacy of teaching breast self-examination using traditional method among female secondary school students in Oyo State, Nigeria: A pre-post quasi experimental study Authors: Ogunmodede, E. O.; Aluko, J. O.; Anorkwuru, R.; Olajide, A. O.; Ajala, D. E. Abstract: Background: Breast self-examination is a good approach to detecting breast cancer early and therefore needed to be propagated among the women folk through teaching to enhance their knowledge and practicing skill since breast cancer had become a higher killer among the other cancers. Therefore, since all women are vulnerable to this menace, teaching of breast self-examination (BSE) through traditional method among the younger females is important to boost their knowledge and practice of breast self-examination in readiness to early detection of breast cancer. Hence, the objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of traditional method of teaching breast self-examination among female secondary school students in Oyo State. Materials and Methods: This study utilized a quasi-experimental design, conducted among the female students of senior secondary class of Anglican Grammar School, Ogbomoso North Local Government area and Ladigbolu Grammar School in Oyo East, all in Oyo State. The sample size was determined using Cochran formular to be one hundred and seventy-four (174) but one hundred and sixty-one (161) completed both the pre and post intervention test and demonstration of BSE. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the cognitive section which has to do with the knowledge of BSE while checklist was used for the psychomotor aspect where practice of BSE was graded per student under poor, average, good and excellent. Results: The findings of this study revealed that larger percentage of the female secondary school students has poor pre-intervention knowledge and practice of BSE but a significant improvement at the post-intervention test and practice using traditional method. Majority (87.6%) of the participants was between age 14-17years and about 68.94% reached menarche at age 10-13years. Almost all (90.7%) had poor pre-intervention knowledge while 65.8% at post intervention had knowledge above average. Also, 85.7% at pre-intervention had poor practice of BSE while 54.7% had practice of BSE above average at post-intervention. Conclusion/Recommendation: Educational interventions through traditional method vis a vis lecture method of teaching brought positive improvement in knowledge and practice of BSE among the female secondary school girls. Therefore, senior secondary school students should be exposed to breast self-examination through traditional method of teaching and probably add it to their curriculum to spread the knowledge and the practice and thereby curb the prevalence of breast cancer in the nearest future. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
