Abstract

Despite government and non-governmental organizations' efforts, contraceptive utilization in Nigeria remains low. Similarly, Cameroon faces high maternal mortality and low contraceptive prevalence. Adolescent pregnancy remains a significant social and public health concern globally, necessitating efforts to promote contraceptive use. Parent-adolescent sexual communication is often viewed as taboo in Nigeria and Cameroon, hindering awareness about contraceptive use. This study examines the role of parents in creating awareness of contraceptive use among female university students in Nigeria and Cameroon. The study adopts a comparative approach, investigating the cultural role of parents in awareness creation for contraceptive use in Nigeria and Cameroon. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 420 female university students in both countries. The findings highlight the valuable role of parents in shaping adolescents' knowledge and behavior regarding contraceptive use. Recommendations include enhancing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education, promoting parent-adolescent communication, addressing cultural barriers, improving contraceptive access, and conducting further research. Implementing these recommendations can empower adolescents with accurate information, foster supportive parent-adolescent relationships, and enhance sexual and reproductive health outcomes among young people.

Abstract

Although stroke is regarded as the second leading cause of death in the world, it is less discussed in the media as such awareness. The study, which was anchored on the Health Belief Model, adopted a qualitative research design, while the interview was employed as the data gathering method from informants purposely selected from the Stroke Rehabilitation Center, Osogbo, Nigeria. Thematic Analysis, with the aid of NVivo 10 Software, was adopted to carry out the analysis. The findings of the study revealed that stroke patients and survivors expressed disappointment with the low attention given to the coverage of the incidence of stroke in Nigeria, despite many myths surrounding it. The challenges encountered by stroke patients and survivors include inadequate stroke information, especially from broadcast media, and lack of awareness. The study recommended that journalists should be more proactive in reporting and discussing stroke, especially regarding symptoms, causes, and management, as a large number of victims exist in developing countries where there is a high prevalence of stroke. It also recommends that the government equip public hospitals with tools and personnel to manage all forms of paralysis.

Abstract

Covid-19 took the world by surprise, resetting world events for most of 2020. The educational system was negatively affected as students were forced to remain at home for several months without receiving teacher instructions. To engage the students remotely, most schools adopted e-learning to facilitate instructions so that the students would not waste their academic time to the pandemic. E-learning became a platform to ensure teachers connect with their students outside the classrooms. This study occurred among three purposively selected schools in Keffi Local Government Area Council of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. This research aimed to assess teachers’ perceptions of adopting digital technologies in giving instructions during the pandemic. Findings from the study show that digital technologies were quite valuable and beneficial to the teachers in providing instructions to the students. Further findings reveal that even though digital technologies proved helpful in providing instruction to the students, teachers faced challenges like unstable power supply, high cost of purchasing data and distractions from family members and friends. The study, among others, recommends that government and private individuals invest heavily in infrastructure to enable teachers to be better equipped to give instructions via digital media technologies.

Abstract

In response to the emergence of corona virus in 2019, researchers have demonstrated sustained interest in conducting studies on the emerging virus. Prompted to explore online perspectives on the pandemic, a qualitative study was conducted. The aim was to understand the pattern of messages people post online. Four online platforms were purposively selected namely; Facebook, Channels Television, Pulse Nigeria, and Punch Newspapers between February, 2020 and October, 2020. In the same vein, 18 posts were purposively selected from these platforms and the interpretative approach which thrust is to gain insight into the specific meanings and behaviours experienced in the context of COVID-19 pandemic was used to analyze the data. Findings indicate that while some messages are pessimistic and threatening, others are laced with aura of optimism. Findings further indicate a varied pattern including misleading posts, socio-economic consequences, anxiety, humour, enlightenment, remedial approach and preventive measures. The study concludes that online platforms are irreplaceable means of sharing messages about issues of global health concern especially now that the platforms have become part of human existence.
