“…Psychosocial health problems have long plagued the conditions of obtaining clean water and sanitation in certain community groups which are often neglected [19], [17], [12]. Stress as a sign of the emergence of psychosocial health problems is a common condition that often occurs in the fulfillment of water and sanitation, and if it is not immediately addressed it will have a negative impact on a person's quality of life [12].…”

Accomplishing the needs of water and sanitation often encounters obstacles in certain family groups, touching on the complexities of psychosocial health problems. The facts show that attention to the impact of fulfilling clean water and inadequate sanitation on psychosocial health is often neglected. It is important to explore water availability and sanitation impact on psychosocial health. This qualitative research was conducted using a phenomenological study approach, involving 5 families living on the banks of a river in Palembang. The in-depth interview method was carried out until data saturation was reached, observations and field notes were carried out during the data collection process. Data collection was analyzed using the Colaizzi method to obtain four themes, namely stress due to not getting access to clean water, economic difficulties that cause emotional stress in accessing clean water, compulsion to use available water and discomfort using public sanitation facilities. The policy needs to facilitate certain community groups to access the needs of clean water and sanitation by taking into account the psychological aspects of the community. The collaboration of community leaders is needed in accelerating access to clean water and sanitation that respects the dignity of the community more.

“…Primary exposure measure: Human Development Index (HDI) All 29 countries were rated according to their 2006 HDI, corresponding to the approximate year of data collection. The HDI reflects a composite measure to assess a country's average achievement across key development indices (health and longevity of life; education level; and satisfactory standard of living) (Khawas, 2016). Scores range from 0 to 1; higher scores denote higher level of human development.…”

“…The HDI is a useful index to assess the overall “richness of human life” ( United Nations Development Programme, n.d. ) and offers a homogenous way of measuring contextual differences across regions (Khawas, 2016 ). Building on this work, this study aims to investigate whether country-level HDI is associated with individual-level experienced and anticipated discrimination in a cross-sectional international survey of people with schizophrenia.…”

Aims Mental health related stigma and discrimination is a universal phenomenon and a contributor to the adversity experienced by people with schizophrenia. Research has produced inconsistent findings on how discrimination differs across settings and the contextual factors that underpin these differences. This study investigates the association between country-level Human Development Index (HDI) and experienced and anticipated discrimination reported by people with schizophrenia. Methods This study is a secondary data analysis of a global cross-sectional survey completed by people living with schizophrenia across 29 countries, between 2005 and 2008. Experienced and anticipated discrimination were assessed using the Discrimination and Stigma Scale (DISC-10). Countries were classified according to their 2006 HDI. Negative binomial and Poisson regression analyses with a robust standard errors approach were conducted to investigate associations between country-level HDI and discrimination. Results In the regression analyses, no evidence was found for a linear association between HDI and experienced or anticipated discrimination. Further exploratory analyses showed a significant non-linear association between HDI ratings and experienced discrimination. Participants in “high” and “very high” HDI countries reported more experienced discrimination compared to those in “medium” HDI countries. Conclusions HDI does, to some extent, appear to be associated with how far discrimination is experienced across different contexts. More high-quality cross-national research, including research focused on “medium” and “low” countries, is needed to substantiate these findings and identify underlying factors that may explain the pattern observed for experienced discrimination, including generating new datasets that would enable for these analyses to be repeated and contrasted with more recent data. An in-depth understanding of these factors will further aid the adaptation of cross-cultural and context specific anti-stigma interventions in future.

“…Increasing demand of surface water supplies has caused enormous pressure on freshwater ecosystems worldwide [4]. It is anticipated that around 50% of the population in developing regions suffer from health concerns due to inadequate water supply and sanitation [5]. Groundwater is typically less polluted than surface water because of its self-cleansing ability and ease of treatment [6,7].…”

This study aims at assessing the physiochemical variation of groundwater quality in Eleme metropolis, rivers state Nigeria. The level of chemical concentration in the groundwater samples was analysed using the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The quality of the borehole was analysed using a physical visibility survey. Groundwater samples from five (5) locations in Eleme metropolis was collected from public boreholes namely Alesa, Alode, Ogale, Ebubu and Agbonchia. Analysis of the groundwater samples was carried out in the Laboratory to ascertain the physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics. After due analysis, it was observed that most of the groundwater samples were still within permissible limits with little differences across the different locations. The temperature of the groundwater samples was different in Alode and Ogale as their temperatures were not within the permissible limits of WHO. The groundwater samples were also slightly different in Alode, Ogale and Ebubu with pH values of 5.20, 5.34 and 5.28 respectively. It was discovered that little treatment is needed in the study area since most of the values fall within the permissible limits of WHO.
