“…Within the context of PHC settings in Nigeria, CHEWs play a major role in the provision of basic health care services and have a higher likelihood of adherence to defined guidelines through periodic trainings and re-trainings, as conducted by MFP with support from project states malaria programs and regular health facility supportive supervision and on-the-job mentoring. The study findings of improved adherence to national guidelines on diagnosis and treatment is similar to other studies that reported the relationship between adherence to test results and training [ 24 , 25 ]. There was improvement in HCW’s knowledge about drugs for intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy (IPTp) using SP and, in Zamfara, about the time of commencement of IPTp.…”

Background The Malaria Frontline Project (MFP) supported the National Malaria Elimination Program for effective program implementation in the high malaria-burden states of Kano and Zamfara adapting the National Stop Transmission of Polio (NSTOP) program elimination strategies. Project implementation The MFP was implemented in 34 LGAs in the two states (20 out of 44 in Kano and all 14 in Zamfara). MFP developed training materials and job aids tailored to expected service delivery for primary and district health facilities and strengthened supportive supervision. Pre- and post-implementation assessments of intervention impacts were conducted in both states. Results A total of 158 (Kano:83; Zamfara:75) and 180 (Kano:100; Zamfara:80) healthcare workers (HCWs), were interviewed for pre-and post-implementation assessments, respectively. The proportions of HCWs with correct knowledge on diagnostic criteria were Kano: 97.5% to 92.0% and Zamfara: 94.7% to 98.8%; and knowledge of recommended first line treatment of uncomplicated malaria were Kano: 68.7% to 76.0% and Zamfara: 69.3% to 65.0%. The proportion of HCWs who adhered to national guidelines for malaria diagnosis and treatment increased in both states (Kano: 36.1% to 73.0%; Zamfara: 39.2% to 67.5%) and HCW knowledge to confirm malaria diagnosis slightly decreased in Kano State but increased in Zamfara State (Kano: 97.5% to 92.0%; Zamfara: 94.8% to 98.8%). HCWs knowledge of correct IPTp drug increased in both states (Kano: 81.9% to 94.0%; Zamfara: 85.3% to 97.5%). Conclusion MFP was successfully implemented using tailored training materials, job aids, supportive supervision, and data use. The project strategy can likely be adapted to improve the effectiveness of malaria program implementation in other Nigerian states, and other malaria endemic countries.

“…The first level of health service that provides basic healthcare to the Nigerian populace is Primary Health Care (PHC) (Ladi-Akinyemi et al, 2018). It is aimed at providing healthcare to the grassroots and, as such, is referred to as the entry point into the Nigerian Healthcare sector.…”

Background: Variations in the risk of malaria across locations exist but are poorly understood though identifying hotspots of malaria transmission will create opportunities for targeted interventions. Point prevalence of malaria in Rivers State was studied using Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) as survey points. Methods: The PHCs in Rivers State were geo-referenced using a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) and 74 were selected across 21 local government areas using systematic grid point sampling. Blood samples were obtained from 2340 persons who consented and questionnaires were administered to obtain their demographic data. Malaria parasites in blood films were detected using the Giemsa staining technique. Data generated were analysed using SPSS 22.0 and presented using descriptive statistics. The level of relationship amongst the parameters was obtained using Chi-square. Co-ordinates of PHCs sampled and their prevalence data for malaria were entered into Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet and transmitted to ArcGIS 10.8. This platform was then used to produce point prevalence infection maps of the State using geographic information systems (GIS). Survey points with malaria point prevalence values of 75% and above and cumulative prevalence of 1.97% and above were categorised as malaria transmission hot spots in the various LGAs. Results: The study recorded an overall prevalence of 56.3%, with P.falciparum as the only identified malaria parasite. Data revealed that Oyoro Model Primary Health Centre (MPHC), Arukwo Primary Health Centre, Ele Health Post (HP) and Emago HP recorded very high prevalence of 96.7%, 96%, 95.2% and 94.4% respectively, whereas MPHC Iriebe had the least prevalence. Twelve hotspots with point prevalence above 75% were identified and eight hotspots likewise with cumulative prevalence above 1.97%. Conclusion: Malaria infection remains endemic in Rivers State. This study provides malaria point prevalence maps of Rivers State which will serve as a reference to policymakers for strategic interventions in the State

“…The result of a research to identify spiritual perceptions toward spiritual care by Nigerian nurses shows that 68,7 % nurses have low perceptions of spiritual care which is caused by the lack of confidence to provide spiritual service in hospitals. 23 Self-confidence in doing spiritual care by nurses can be increased if nurses can fulfil their patients' spiritual needs, which are meaning-purpose, love-relatedness, and forgiveness. If the nurses' spiritual belief and spiritual comfort are supported with sufficient amount of spiritual knowledge and support, it can bring a beneficial impact on the quality of health in hospitals.…”

Background: Spiritual care is one of the important services. The dimensions of spiritual care have not been fully identified clearly. Therefore it is necessary to explore the dimensions of spiritual care. Objective: The aim of this study is to explore spiritual care. Methods: Qualitative research methods were used in order to obtain data through observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD). The research was conducted within several number of hospitals in Central Java, Indonesia. The samples of this research were 57 nurses with given criteria as following: has a minimum education of associate's degree in the nursery and a work experience minimum of 2 years in a hospital. Obtained data were, was analyzed with constant comparative and content analysis. Result: The exploration of spiritual care is depicted by hospital nurses as personal belief towards spirituality that can be experienced through spiritual comfort, which is manifested through routine worships, prayers, and intense presence as spiritual implementations and support. Conclusion: This explorative study concludes that there are dimensions in the spiritual care of hospital nurses: personal belief, spiritual knowledge, spiritual comfort, spiritual implementation, and spiritual support. The implications may be able to bring benefit in its application toward the government, hospitals, nurses, patients, and their families, as well as the society.Latar Belakang: Perawatan spiritual merupakan salah satu layanan penting. Dimensi perawatan spiritual belum sepenuhnya teridentifikasi dengan jelas. Oleh karena itu perlu menggali dimensi perawatan spiritual.. Tujuan Penelitian: Mengeksplorasi dimensi perawatan spiritual. Metode: Penelitian kualitatif dengan pengambilan data menggunakan teknik observasi, indept interview, dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Lokasi penelitian pada beberapa rumah sakit di Jawa Tengah, Indonesia, Sampel penelitian adalah 57 perawat dengan kriteria, yaitu pendidikan D3 Keperawatan dan bekerja minimal dua tahun di rumah sakit. Data yang telah dikumpulkan dianalisis dengan constant comparative dan content analysis. Hasil: Eksplorasi perawatan spiritual digambarkan oleh perawat rumah sakit sebagai keyakinan pribadi terhadap kerohanian yang dapat dialami melalui kenyamanan spiritual, yang dimanifestasikan melalui pemujaan rutin, doa, dan kehadiran yang intens sebagai implementasi dan dukungan spiritual. Kesimpulan: Dimensi-dimensi yang ditemukan antara lain, keyakinan personal (personal belief), pengetahuan spiritual (knowledge of spirituality), kenyamanan (comfort of spirituality), implementasi spiritual (implementation of spirituality), dan dukungan spiritual (support for spirituality).
