Abstract

This study investigated the effect of motivation on memory recall among students of SS11A and SS11B of Government Model Secondary School Makurdi. The study employed the use of experimental design of 3x2x1 One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Independent T test with Alpha level of .05 to test the two hypotheses. The study consists of sixty (60) participants with 30 (50%) males and 30 (50%) females. Their ages ranged from 13-20 years with the means of 8.15 (SD=23.41). The participants were grouped into three of high, low and non-motivated students. Each group had (20) participants each totalling sixty (60) in the study. The participants were selected on the basis of gender and evenly distributed through the use of purposive and convenience sampling techniques. Finding from the study indicated that there was significant different in the level of memory recall among the high, low and non-motivated students F (2, 57) =8.98, P<.05. There was no significant different between male and female students on memory recall when motivated (59) =.20 P>.05. Thus, the first hypothesis was confirmed and the null hypothesis was rejected. On the other hand the second hypothesis was rejected and the null hypothesis was accepted. It was therefore recommended that conscious efforts should be made by the parents, Teachers, School Administrators to provide various incentives to enhance students recall abilities in memory task. It was also recommended that the Government and Philanthropists should provide scholarship programme to enhance study memory recall in the Secondary School. Finally, the study recommended that psychologists and the teachers should encourage the student to always rehearse their work in order to improve their memory recall when the need arise.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between burnout and quality of life among the Federal Road Safety Corps Employees in Benue State Sector Command. The study employed cross sectional and expost facto design where 200 participants consisting of 161 (80.5%) males, 37 (18.5%) females and 2 (1.0%) did not indicate their sex. Their ages ranged from 21-60 years with means age of 35.55 (SD=7.21). Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL) were used for data collection using Multistage, Stratified random and systematic sampling techniques. Statistical analysis involved the use of multiple regressions. Findings indicated that, there was a significant negative relationship between burnout and quality of life among the Federal Road Safety Corps Employees in Benue State Sector Command. The result of the finding reviewed that there was a significant negative relationship between burnout and the overall quality of life among the Federal Road Safety Corps employees in Benue State Command [R=.562, R2=.316, F (3,178)=27.376, p<.001]. This implies that burnout accounted for 31.6% of the total variance observed in quality of life among the Federal Road Safety Corps employees in Benue State Sector Command. The result of the study also showed the individual contributions of the various dimensions of burnout to overall quality of life which indicated that emotional exhaustion made the highest significant negative contribution (β=-.414, t=-5.180, p<.001) followed by depersonalization (β=-.235, t=-3.081, p<.01) while personal accomplishment made no significant contribution to the model (β=.027, t=.355, p>.05) respectively. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that conscious efforts should be made to enhance quality of life among the Federal Road Safety Corps Employees through reduction of burnout stress inherent in the work place among the Federal Road Safety Corps Employees in Benue State Sector Command and Nigeria at large.

Abstract

The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on public health has been unpleasant. Vaccination is a critical measure to decrease COVID-19 economic loss and public health burden. This is very helpful to control the COVID-19 pandemic. The process of halting COVID-19 solely depends on population uptake of the vaccination process and the adoption of non-pharmacological measures. This in turn relies on the public willingness to get vaccinated. The public acceptability of this vaccination is further determined by the level of knowledge and trust in currently available COVID-19 vaccines. Therefore, this paper aims to discuss the findings of public knowledge, attitude, and acceptability of COVID-19 vaccines among traders in Wuse Market Abuja. A cross-sectional study was conducted among different traders in the Abuja Wuse Market to assess their knowledge, attitude and level of acceptability toward COVID-19 vaccinations using a self-administered survey questionnaire with the following four sections; socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge assessment questions, attitude assessment, and acceptability questions. A total of 166 participants completed the questionnaire. The knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccinations among the study participants was high with 143(86%) respondents stating that they knew about COVID-19 vaccinations. Among the traders that participated, 74(44.36%) believed that vaccines are safe and 109 (66.02%) agreed that vaccines are critical to protect the public from COVID-19 infection. But only, 45 (27.4%) accept to receive the vaccine. Participants’ attitudes, knowledge, and level of acceptability were significantly affected by age, gender, education level, and marital status (P <0.001). Our findings suggest that there is good knowledge and attitude toward the vaccination process against COVID-19 among study participants in spite of low acceptability. Awareness campaigns are therefore necessary to disseminate reliable knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines and demystify the COVID-19 conspiracy theory in order to raise the level of vaccination acceptance.

Abstract

This study examined Emotional Intelligence on the Mental Health of the Federal Road Safety Corps Personnel in Benue State Sector Command. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design in which 232 Federal Road Safety Corps Personnel whose ages ranged from 20 – 58 years (Mean age=36.30, SD=8.34), comprising 169(72.8%) males and 63(27.2%) females who served as participants for the study. Emotional intelligence Scale and Mental Health Inventory scale were used in data collection. The result of the finding shows that, there was a significant positive influence of emotional intelligence on mental health of Federal Road Safety Corps Personnel in Benue State Sector Command [R=.436, R2=.190, F (5,227) =3.627, p<.01]. The result also indicated that, emotional intelligence and its dimensions explained 19.0% of the variance observed in mental health among the participants. This means that, Federal Road Safety Personnel with high levels of emotional intelligence are likely to have good mental health, and the extent to which emotional intelligence explains mental health of Federal Road Safety Corps Personnel in Benue State Sector Command is 19.0%, and based on this finding, the second hypothesis was confirmed. Independently, findings revealed that, social skills made the highest significant contribution (β=.299, t=2.988, p<.05), followed by motivation (β=.223, t=2.588, p<.05), and then self-reputation (β=.211, t=2.081, p<.05), followed by social awareness (β=.198, t=1.758, p<.05), and self-awareness (β=.180, t=1.313, p<.05) successively. Based on this finding, it was recommended that the management of Federal Road Safety Corps in Benue State Sector should explore ways of improving the personnel's emotional intelligence deficit which may enhance succees and improve their mental health.

Abstract

Hibiscus sabdarrifa is a flowering plant that grows in tropical regions. It is used in the preparation of a non-alcoholic beverage called Zobo drink. This current study investigated the ovarian histological changes and hormonal level outcome that occur after administration of Hibiscus sabdarrifa aqueous solution (Zobo drink) on albino Wistar rat. Twenty (20) female Wistar rats were purchased and divided into five (5) groups, group A, group B, group C, group D and group E with each group having four (4) Wistar rats. Group A, the control group was unexposed to any form of foreign substance. Group B were given 0.5ml of Zobo drink once daily (morning). Group C were given 0.5ml of Zobo drink twice daily (morning and afternoon). Group D were given 0.5ml of Zobo drink three times daily (morning, afternoon and evening). Group E were given the Zobo drink concurrently all through the day and water only at night. In the end, the rats were sacrificed and the ovaries were removed and fixed in 10% formalin saline solution. The ovaries were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Their blood was collected through the femoral artery for hormonal level assay. The histological result of group A, B, C and D showed normal histological structures. Group E showed hemorrhage in the corpus luteum of the ovaries. The result of the hormonal analysis showed an increase in the level of progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone and decrease in the level of estrogen all through the five groups. This lower estrogen level could impede menstruation. Therefore, Zobo drink can damage the ovary if taken in excess quantity and cause fluctuation in hormonal level of the ovary.

Abstract

This paper aims to enhance psychoeducation among the Nigerian population regarding substance abuse, drug addiction, and the importance of regular medical check-ups. Substance abuse and drug addiction are significant contributors to various medical health conditions and mental disorders within the Nigerian populace. Many of these conditions could potentially be prevented or managed effectively if early detection of abnormal neurotransmitter changes in the brain was facilitated through routine medical examinations. This study highlights the alarming scarcity of knowledge and poor attitudes towards substance abuse, drug addiction, and regular medical check-ups in Nigeria, as evidenced by empirical data from psychiatric research. Such deficiencies hinder individuals from making informed health decisions and recognizing risk factors associated with unhealthy lifestyles. According to the World Health Organization, as well as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), substance abuse and drug addiction are classified as diseases that require treatment, akin to conditions such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and HIV. In light of this, the paper calls on the government, as well as the management of healthcare institutions, clinical psychologists, and other healthcare professionals, to prioritize intensive psychoeducation initiatives. These initiatives should focus on raising awareness about the dangers of substance abuse and drug addiction, as well as preventative measures. Moreover, the government and health institutions should collaborate with philanthropists to establish more psychiatric hospitals and rehabilitation centre, providing testing equipment and medications at subsidized rates across all healthcare levels. This would enable individuals struggling with substance abuse and addiction to access necessary services, gain insights into their health status, improve their overall well-being, and alleviate the catastrophe financial burdens faced by their families and loved ones. In conclusion, this paper emphasizes the urgency of addressing these issues and provides actionable recommendations for creating a more informed and supportive environment for those affected by substance abuse and addiction.
