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.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy termination among adolescents and young women reflects gaps in contraceptive access, unmet need for family planning, and unequal access to sexual and reproductive health information and services. In Cambodia, limited recent national evidence exists on socioeconomic patterns and determinants of pregnancy termination among young women, despite persistent adolescent fertility and early marriage. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of pregnancy termination among adolescents and young women in Cambodia and examine socioeconomic patterns and associated factors using data from the Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey (CDHS) 2021–22. Methods: This cross-sectional secondary analysis used nationally representative data from the CDHS 2021–22 women's questionnaire. The study population included women aged 15–24 years (N=5,783). The outcome was a self-reported history of pregnancy termination, based on DHS standard definitions. Key exposures included wealth index, education level, and place of residence. Additional covariates included age group, marital status, parity, employment status, media exposure, and contraceptive use. Survey-weighted descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were used to examine associations while accounting for complex survey design. Results: The overall prevalence of pregnancy termination was 5.28% (95% CI: 4.52–6.16). Prevalence varied significantly by socioeconomic status: 3.8% among women from poor households, 5.3% among middle-income, and 6.8% among wealthy households (p<0.001). Women with secondary or higher education had higher prevalence (6.2%) compared to those with no education (3.9%, p<0.001). In multivariable analysis, factors significantly associated with increased odds of pregnancy termination included wealthier households (aOR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.24–2.67), higher education (aOR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.09–2.29), urban residence (aOR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.08–1.92), older age 20–24 years (aOR=2.15, 95% CI: 1.61–2.88), union status (aOR=3.42, 95% CI: 2.48–4.71), and women with two or more children (aOR=5.68, 95% CI: 3.92–8.23). Conclusion: Pregnancy termination among young Cambodian women shows a distinct positive socioeconomic gradient, with higher prevalence among wealthier and more educated women, contrasting with patterns in some high-income countries. The strong association with parity indicates that termination is primarily used for birth spacing and limiting. These findings highlight the need for strengthening youth-focused sexual and reproductive health services and ensuring equitable access to quality contraception across all socioeconomic groups.

Abstract

Background: Patient waiting time in outpatient departments is a key indicator of healthcare quality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where delays frequently exceed two hours. In Nigeria, systemic inefficiencies, understaffing, manual record-keeping, and high patient volumes contribute to prolonged waits. Existing studies have predominantly used quantitative methods, leaving a gap in understanding the lived experiences of patients and perspectives of frontline healthcare workers, especially in secondary-level public hospitals. Methods: An exploratory qualitative study was conducted at the General Outpatient Department of General Hospital Minna, Niger State, Nigeria. Convenience sampling recruited 16 patients, while purposive sampling selected 13 healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, and health information personnel). In-depth, audio-recorded interviews were conducted and data analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Five themes emerged: patient experience and outcomes; current strategies and solutions; monitoring and metrics; implementation challenges; and future directions. Three-quarters of patients reported prolonged waits associated with emotional distress and dissatisfaction. Providers identified high patient volumes, inadequate record-keeping, and partial scheduling implementation as systemic barriers. Cultural factors influenced patient tolerance, and both groups prioritised digital solutions including electronic medical records, smart scheduling, and telemedicine. Conclusion: Waiting time in the outpatient department is shaped by interacting systemic, cultural, and operational factors. Structured monitoring, improved patient communication, and targeted digital interventions are essential to reducing delays and strengthening patient-centred care in Nigerian public hospitals.
