Abstract

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has remained a recurring issue when evaluating the effect of sickle cell anemia on individuals so affected. While studies have been conducted to determine the management of the disease with the use of physical and drug treatments, psychosocial factors tend to be limited. Therefore, this study examines the predictability of coping styles and social support on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among individuals diagnosed with sickle cell anemia in selected hospitals and clinics in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design survey was adopted while data were collected from 200 participants using validated questionnaires. Data collected were analyzed using multiple regression to test one hypothesis which was accepted at p <.001 level of significance. The results showed that coping styles and social support jointly predicted HRQoL among study participants, R2= .372, F(3, 196) = 38.667, p <.001. Furthermore, coping style components of emotion-focused: β = .324, t = 5.062, p <.001; active coping: β = .251, t = 4.040, p <.001, and social support (β = .224, t = 3.506, p <.001) independently predicted HRQoL among study participants. The study concludes that coping styles and social support are robust predictors of HRQoL among sickle cell anemia in the study population. The study recommends that parents, government agencies and other stakeholders should proactively support sickle cell anemia patients with a social support system to manage their health situations to improve their overall quality of life.

Abstract

Substance abuse has remained a serious concern to the individual, the family, and society. Of particular concern is the involvement of secondary school students in substance abuse. Studies have investigated different predictors of substance abuse with varied results. Therefore, this study examines the predictive roles of self-esteem and peer influence on substance abuse among secondary school students in Lafia Local Government Area (LGA) of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select Lafia LGA. Data were conveniently collected from 414 participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression and independent samples t-test. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The result revealed that self-esteem and peer influence jointly predicted substance abuse among study participants, R2= .037, F (3, 407) = 5.28, p < .05. In addition, self-esteem (ß = .20, p < .05) and peer influence (ß = .19, p < .05) independently predicted substance abuse among study participants. Finally, participants high in peer influence reported significantly higher substance abuse (= 23.67, SD= 12.55) compared to participants with low peer influence (= 19.10, SD = 12.78). The study concludes that self-esteem and peer influence are excellent predictors of substance abuse among study participants. The study recommends that parents should provide an enabling environment for their children to develop positive self-esteem while the school authority and other stakeholders should design and implement programs to educate students on the danger of substance abuse to their life and future career.
