Abstract

Maintaining good kidney health is of paramount importance for the overall well-being and longevity of an individual., The exploration of complementary and alternative therapeutic practices to support overall health including renal function is a subject of growing interest over the years. Cupping therapy is an example of such intervention which has gained attention for its potential benefits in various health issues, including pain management, recovery, gastrointestinal issues, and preventive therapy. This study summarizes the findings from various studies on the impact of cupping therapy on parameters related to kidney health. The review emphasizes the need for further research to establish the efficacy and safety of cupping therapy as a complementary approach in the maintenance of kidney health, prevention and management of renal disorders, as well as the need for standardized practice of its applications.

Abstract

Infection prevention and control (IPC) is essential in reducing healthcare-associated infections, particularly in maternal and newborn care. Midwives play a critical role in ensuring adherence to IPC protocols in primary healthcare settings. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of midwives toward IPC in selected primary health care centers in Osogbo Local Government, Osun State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 52 midwives using a structured questionnaire to assess their knowledge and attitudes on IPC. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, with results presented as frequencies and percentages. The study found high IPC knowledge among midwives, with 96.2% classified as having good knowledge. Most participants demonstrated a strong understanding of key practices, such as hand hygiene, PPE use, and waste disposal. For example, 98.1% correctly identified the proper order for donning PPE, and all understood its primary purpose. However, 84.6% were aware of the recommended frequency for disinfecting high-touch surfaces, highlighting a gap in daily IPC practices. Midwives showed a positive attitude, with 88.5% agreeing that IPC guidelines reduce infection rates. Despite this, 9.6% felt resources were inadequate, and 84.6% called for more IPC training. The study shows strong IPC knowledge and positive attitudes among midwives, though gaps in resources and daily practices exist. Continuous training, better resource allocation, and fostering accountability are recommended to maintain high IPC standards. Targeted interventions should address these gaps and support midwives in effective IPC implementation.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global health concern with increasing prevalence, particularly in developing countries. Despite its significant impact, public awareness and understanding of CKD remain limited. This study assessed the knowledge and perception of CKD among university students of IBLT University in Togo. A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed, and a standardized questionnaire was administered to 112 students, covering sociodemographic characteristics, CKD knowledge, and perception. The study found that while most students had a reasonable understanding of basic CKD concepts, significant gaps existed in their knowledge. Only 26% demonstrated good knowledge of CKD, while 46% had average knowledge and 28% exhibited poor knowledge. The perception of CKD varied among respondents. The majority believed that a person could live with one kidney, but there was uncertainty about screening costs and personal health awareness. Concerns about stigmatization, treatment costs, and religious beliefs were also prevalent. The study highlights the need for improved CKD education and awareness among young populations like university students. Targeted interventions are necessary to address knowledge gaps, dispel misconceptions, and provide support for individuals with CKD.
