Abstract

Infant mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) remains a public health problem. Low immunization coverage can hamper the effectiveness of infectious disease prevention in infants. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of immunization in preventing VPD, increasing the body's resistance to infection, and reducing infant mortality. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design. The study population consisted of 150 women, with all of them being sampled using the total sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire that had been tested for validity by health experts and tested for reliability using the test-retest method. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, and averages, with the help of SPSS version 22. The results showed that immunization is effective in preventing VPD, increasing infants' resistance to infectious diseases, and reducing infant mortality. The conclusion of this study confirms that immunization is a significant health intervention in reducing the risk of infection and infant mortality. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of educating mothers about the benefits of immunization and the need for community-based strategies to increase immunization coverage.

Abstract

Malaria infections are generally asymptomatic, and the current control strategy is based on the prevention of infections. The study examined the knowledge, attitude and practice of prophylaxis of malaria treatment among pregnant women attending clinic at primary health centres, Ujoelen, Edo State, Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The sample size of 60 pregnant women attending clinic at primary health centres, Ujoelen, Edo State, Nigeria was used for this study. Questionnaire was the instrument used to collect data. Results were analysed using simple descriptive data analysis of frequencies and percentages. Findings from the study revealed that the respondents had a high level of knowledge of prophylaxis of malaria treatment, negative or poor attitude towards prophylaxis of malaria treatment and poor practice prophylaxis of malaria treatment. The study concluded that respondents had a high level of knowledge of prophylaxis of malaria treatment, negative or poor attitude towards prophylaxis of malaria treatment and poor practice prophylaxis of malaria treatment. It is therefore recommended that concerted effort be put in place by the nurses, more especially public health nurses to address the barriers to the practice of prophylaxis of malaria treatment. This could be done through mass health education to market women at regular interval. Pregnant women should be encouraged to seek the advice of public health officers regarding prevention of malaria.
