“…A total of 66.3% of students demonstrated positive scores regarding practice and 48.9% had good knowledge about hand hygiene. On the other hand, our study results were different from the results of a Nigerian study 14 where only 45 % of nurses had adequate adherence to standard precautions regarding hand hygiene and used proper protocol in hand washing and putting gloves when handling blood samples, bandages, and venipuncture to control the spread of infection. This nonadherence to proper protocols leads to an increase in nosocomial infection rate.…”

“…Research has proved that the absence of knowledge is the major cause of noncompliance with the standard precautions 17 . The outcomes of the current study were similar to the findings of one earlier study published 14 where 50 % of nurses had good practices regarding the application of protective measures. On the other hand, findings as reported by the investigators at Kyrenia University, Dr. Suat Günsel Hospital, Kyrenia, were not congruent to the present study which revealed the majority of nurses showed poor practices in using protective measures.…”

Abstract Background and objective: Severely ill patients are at a higher risk of carrying nosocomial infections especially when admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs). Therefore, it is the professional obligation of all health workers to adhere to the scientifically accepted criteria for infection control in clinical settings. This study was conducted to assess intensive care nurses’ adherence to standard precautions (SPs) and to assess the practices of SPs in intensive care. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at ICUs of two public sector hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan, from March to September, 2022. A total of 150 nurses were selected for the study who worked in the medical-surgical, general, and specialized ICUs. The extent to which the behavior of a worker coincides with the prescribed standard (Adherence) and performing work repeatedly till it becomes a routine competency (Practice) was assessed using a structured questionnaire. The chi-square test was used to determine the link between adherence to SPs and the practice carried out by nurses. Data were analyzed and a p-value ≤ 0.05 was taken as significant. Results: A total of 84.7% of nurses showed adherence while practice was demonstrated by 52.7% of nurses. No significant correlation (p-value:0.95) was however found between the practice and adherence to the SPs, despite the fact that a notable gap was observed between the practice and adherence to SPs among ICU nurses. Conclusion: It is concluded that a compromised adherence to SPs of infection control in ICUs of public sector hospitals in Lahore is exhibited by the nurses.

“…9,11,12 The reason for this might be due to fear of the surgical procedure and the higher cost of BTL procedure as compared to other modern methods. 15 The trend in contraceptive preference over the studied years (2014-2018) in this study revealed that implants consistently remained the preferred choice of contraception followed by injectables and then IUDs. While women made use of female condoms in the first 2 years under study (2014 and 2015), no woman opted for female condom as a means of contraception in the last 3 years under study (2016)(2017)(2018).…”

Background: Rapidly rising population in Africa is of great concern, most especially in Nigeria because of its impact on social stability. Family planning is an indispensable tool for population control and also in preventing unwanted pregnancy and its complications. Women and men at any given point in their lifetime should be able to choose the most appropriate contraceptive methods from many available options, as this is an important contributor to the successful use of contraception. Aim of the study was to determine the uptake and trend in contraceptive use from 2014-2018 in the family planning unit of a specialist hospital in the North central, Nigeria. Methods: It is a retrospective, descriptive study of contraceptive uptake of women attending family planning clinic of Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital (DASH), Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria from 2014 to 2018. Results: Of the 5448 women accessing family planning services in the hospital within the study period, 5277 folders were retrieved with complete data. A vast majority of the women were married (99.6%) with the mean age of the subjects being 28.8±6.0 years. Contraceptive uptake was 43.2% of deliveries in the hospital. Implants (65.4%) remained the preferred contraceptive choice, followed by injectables (20.7%) and intrauterine devices (IUDs) (10.3%). Less popular were bilateral tubal ligation (BTL) (0.2%), Sayana press (0.1%) and Standard Days Methods (SDM) (0.0%). Implants, injectables and IUDs consistently remained the preferred contraceptive choices yearly throughout the studied years. Conclusions: Implants is the most popular contraception in DASH. Contraceptive uptake is relatively high among the women but there is still need to increase access to effective contraception and if possible make them freely available at all levels of health care.
