Background: Drug abuse is a serious global health problem. Globally, 269 million people or 5.3 percent of the population aged 15‒64 years used drugs in 2018. Evidence shows that most drug addicts start using drugs in adolescence (<15-years-old). Adolescents need role models who are able to guide them; teachers have important roles as they are primary role models for students. Therefore, teachers should have positive beliefs to guide students effectively, i.e. they should have good awareness about the threat of drug abuse and high confidence to implement required prevention. This research developed an alternative electronic delivery method of learning material to empower teachers in preventing drug abuse. This study aimed to compare the effect of the electronic and a printed teaching module on teachers’ beliefs about drug abuse prevention. Methods: 260 junior high school teachers were selected randomly. These teachers were split into two groups. Before intervention, a questionnaire was completed by both groups. The teachers then completed the learning material: electronic module in the first group and printed module in the second group. One month later, data was collected from both groups using the same questionnaire to assess the beliefs of the teachers Results: There was significant positive effect on teachers’ beliefs, both in electronic module and printed module groups. All categories of beliefs at one month after intervention were significantly higher than those at baseline (P<0.001). Based on between group comparison analysis of mean changes, perceived susceptibility in electronic module group was significantly higher than printed module group (P<0.001), while perceived severity, benefits, barriers and efficacy were not significantly different (P>0.05). Conclusions: Electronic and printed module intervention significantly increased teachers’ beliefs in drug abuse prevention. The printed module was still effective to be used as learning media, while the electronic module was an alternative with some advantages.

“…Multidisciplinary management focused on patient education, good glycaemic control, regular foot examinations and aggressive intervention (debridement, antibiotic therapy, regular dressing) are fundamental to the care of the diabetic foot [13,21]. Good glycaemic control lowers the risk of neuropathy by 40-60% [22].…”

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), a chronic disorder of public health importance arise from pathologic changes following abnormal glucose metabolism. Wound dressing is vital to DFU management and is designed to promote healing and relieve pain among other roles. Pain associated with chronic wounds can delay healing, reduce quality of life, and affect mental health. This study evaluates the effect of honey and povidone iodine-based dressings on the severity of pain associated with Wagner grade 2 DFU. Study Design: This was a randomized controlled trial on the pain-modulating effects of honey and povidone iodine dressings on Wagner grade 2 DFU using the visual analogue scale (VAS) at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH), Port Harcourt over a year duration. Methodology: We included 30 patients (17 males; age range 47-65 years) with Wagner grade 2 diabetic foot ulcers. Data on socio-demographics, BMI, HbA1c, ulcer etiology and site distribution, VAS for pain intensity, wound exudate characteristics and extent of healing were obtained and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The median VAS pain score was 2.0 and 3.0 for the honey and povidone iodine dressing groups respectively (p-value=0.724) in week 1, then 1.0 and 2.0 for the honey and povidone iodine dressing groups respectively and (p-value=0.041) in week 3. By week 5, all ulcers in the honey group were healed, and the lone persistent ulcer in the povidone group had a 1.0 VAS score by week 6. Conclusion: Honey dressings are associated with less wound pain over the course of treatment compared to povidone iodine dressing in the treatment of Wagner 2 DFU.
