Abstract

Background:Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria represent a growing global public health threat, particularly in low- and middle-income regions such as the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Despite increasing antimicrobial resistance, comprehensive regional evidence on MDR-HAIs, including prevalence, pathogen distribution, and associated risk factors, remains limited. This systematic review aimed to examine the prevalence of MDR bacteria among HAIs in hospitalized patients across the EMR between 2014 and 2024. Methods:A systematic review was conducted following Cochrane guidelines. EMBASE, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and relevant keywords. Eligible studies included primary quantitative studies reporting MDR hospital-acquired infections in EMR countries. A total of 550 records were identified, and after screening, critical appraisal, and eligibility assessment, nine studies were included for narrative synthesis. Risk of bias was assessed using CASP and Joanna Briggs Institute appraisal tools. Results:The prevalence of MDR-HAIs across EMR countries ranged from 4.9% to 52.6%, with most studies reporting rates exceeding 25%. Egypt reported the highest prevalence (52.6%), followed by Libya (35.2%) and Lebanon (30.2%), while Iraq reported the lowest prevalence (4.9%). Older age and male gender were commonly associated with increased MDR-HAI risk. The most frequently identified pathogens were MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Additional risk factors included comorbidities, prolonged hospitalization, prior antibiotic exposure, invasive devices, and admission to high-risk wards. Conclusion:MDR hospital-acquired infections remain highly prevalent across the EMR, affecting countries regardless of economic status. Strengthening surveillance systems, improving infection prevention and control strategies, and implementing coordinated antimicrobial stewardship programs are urgently needed to reduce MDR burden and improve patient outcomes in the region.

Abstract

Background: Tobacco use remains a significant global public health challenge. WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control mandates that nations take steps to ensure that tobacco product packaging carries health warnings and messages. This study aims to explore the perception of pictorial health warnings (PHWs) on tobacco packages among the patients attending dental institute in Ahmedabad city. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among 210 patients attending dental institute in Ahmedabad city. The data were collected through face-to-face interview by using a self-designed, pre-tested questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of questions pertaining to demographic details, tobacco related habits and perception on PHWs. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors for perception of PHWs. Result: More than half of the subjects (n=129, 61.43%) were having current habit of tobacco consumption in any form. Total 197 (93.80%) were aware about health warning messages on tobacco packages. Among 197 respondents, 67 (34.00%) respondents noticed only PHWs. Total 136(69.04%) subjects had perception of imagine health harms after seeing PHWs and 132(67.00%) subjects were worried for their health. More than half (n=64, 55.17%) wants to quit habit after seeing PHWs. Among individuals with a habit of tobacco consumption, the likelihood of imagining health harms (OR = 3.61, 95% CI: 1.73–7.53) and feeling worried about their health after viewing PHWs (OR = 3.61, 95% CI: 1.73–7.53) was significantly higher (p < 0.001). Conclusion: There was a favorable perception and positive impact on tobacco users to quit the habit.

Abstract

Background:  Parental perceived barriers remain a major obstacle to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake among adolescents in Nigeria. Community-based nurse-led educational interventions may help address these barriers, but evidence from rural and semi-urban settings is limited. This study aims to assess the effect of a community-based nurse-led educational intervention on parental perceived barriers to HPV vaccine uptake in Kaduna North Senatorial District, Nigeria. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design with intervention and control groups was conducted among 208 parents of adolescents aged 9–14 years, with 204 completing the study (102 per group). Data were collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire assessing socio-demographic characteristics and perceived barriers. The intervention group received a structured nurse-led educational programme, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analysed using chi-square tests, McNemar’s test, and t-tests, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: At baseline, there was no significant difference in mean barrier scores between groups (p = 0.652). After the intervention, the study group showed significant reductions in key barriers, including difficulty accessing accurate information, long waiting times, and limited opportunity to discuss concerns (p < 0.001). The mean barrier score decreased significantly in the study group from 5.40 ± 2.03 to 2.07 ± 1.55 (p < 0.001), while no significant change occurred in the control group. Conclusion: The community-based nurse-led educational intervention significantly reduced parental perceived barriers to HPV vaccine uptake, supporting the integration of structured health education into primary healthcare to improve adolescent vaccination outcomes.
