Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a primary worldwide health concern, partly due to poor vaccine uptake among healthcare workers who have increased chances of occupational exposure. Nigeria has one of the highest burdens of HBV infection, with an estimated 15% prevalence. Hence, the study objective assessed the determinant and uptake of the Hepatitis B vaccine among Health Care Workers (HCWs) in a Government-owned Teaching Hospital in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design. Samples were determined using Kish Leslie’s formula. Convenience sampling was used to select 124 healthcare workers. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire with a reliability of 0.723. Data analysis was done using descriptive, and Pearson Chi-Square and results were presented in tables depicting frequencies and percentages. Findings revealed that 62.9% of HCWs had been vaccinated at least once. However, only 10.5% of respondents were fully vaccinated, indicating a notable gap in the HBV vaccination among the different medical cadres. Factors influencing the uptake rate include vaccine availability (98.4%), distance to vaccination center 74.2%), needle prick (85.5%), HCWs attitude (81.5%), lack of awareness (85.5%), and lack of motivation (87.1%). There was a significant relationship between categories of healthcare workers and uptake of the HBV vaccine (p=0.000). In conclusion, the study calls for concerted efforts from healthcare institutions and policymakers to enforce full vaccination coverage among HCWs to mitigate the burden of Hepatitis B infection in healthcare settings, thus safeguarding the health of both HCWs and the broader community.

Abstract

Background: Patient satisfaction is a key indicator of healthcare quality, particularly about postoperative pain management. Abdominal surgery remains one of the most common major procedures performed in teaching hospitals across Nigeria. However, previous studies have reported prolonged hospital stays, delayed recovery, and increased postoperative complications due to inadequate pain control. Despite the high volume of abdominal surgeries, there is limited evidence on the most effective pain management strategies to improve patient satisfaction. Notably, many patients in federal teaching hospitals in South-West Nigeria continue to express dissatisfaction following surgery. This study examined pain management strategies that enhance patient satisfaction following abdominal surgery in selected federal teaching hospitals in South-Western Nigeria. Methods: A qualitative research design was employed. Twelve patients undergoing postoperative abdominal surgery were purposively selected until data saturation was achieved. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using an interview guide, and the data were analyzed thematically. Results: Six major themes emerged from the analysis: (1) patients’ experiences of abdominal surgical pain, (2) satisfaction with current pain management methods, (3) factors promoting coping mechanisms, (4) fear of drug-related adverse effects, (5) strategies adopted for pain management, and (6) patients’ suggestions for improving pain control. Conclusion: The study concluded that the use of a combination of pain management strategies significantly enhanced patient satisfaction following abdominal surgery. It is recommended that hospital management implement policies that support the use of multimodal pain management approaches by nurses, with a focus on personalized and compassionate care, to optimize postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction.
