Awareness, knowledge, attitude, and practice of adverse drug reaction reporting among health workers in primary health centres participating in seasonal malaria chemoprevention campaign in Nigeria in 2022: a cross-sectional survey.

Background: Evaluating health workers' knowledge and practice of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting is an important step in identifying gaps in quality ADR reporting during public health interventions like the seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) campaign. Pharmacovigilance (PV) monitoring is vital in SMC due to the number of children exposed to malaria medicines for a period of 4 or 5 months during the campaign. In Nigeria more than 10 million children are exposed to SMC medicines every year.

Pers., (wild custard apple), is a shrub used traditionally to treat respiratory and skin diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated its anti-malaria, anti-snake envenomation and anti-cancer activities.

Health-related quality of life associated with different cervical cancer therapies received by patients in two Nigerian tertiary hospitals.

Background: There are important consequences from cervical cancer (CC) disease and its treatment among survivors, especially the impact on quality of life (QoL).

Objective: To evaluate the health-related QoL associated with different CC therapies received by patients in two Nigerian tertiary hospitals.

Methods: This study employed a prospective longitudinal design.

Effectiveness of educational interventions on hypertensive patients' self-management behaviours: an umbrella review protocol.

Background: Although different educational interventions have been widely used to manage and treat hypertension, alone or in combination with other interventions, there is a significant variation in their claimed effectiveness.

Review Question/objective: The objective of this umbrella review is to determine the effectiveness of educational interventions, alone or in combination with other interventions, for improving blood pressure control and self-management practices among hypertensive patients. The review question is: Do educational interventions, alone or in combination with other interventions, improve self-management practices among patients with hypertension?

Methods: We will conduct a review of systematic reviews involving studies that implemented educational interventions, alone or in combination with other interventions, designed to change self-care practices among hypertensive patients who are 18 years and above, regardless of their sex and ethnicity.

Development and reliability testing of a cervical cancer patients knowledge and practice of self-care management of treatment-related adverse events questionnaire.

Introduction: Cervical cancer (CC) treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were found to be among the major reasons for treatments delays and medication non-adherence. Knowledge and practice of self-care management of these AEs are therefore needed to complement the pharmacotherapeutic interventions. Instruments for assessing CC patients' knowledge and practice of self-care management of treatment-related Adverse Events (AEs) are lacking.

Pharmacy graduates' perceptions of competency, integration, and social accountability in the undergraduate curriculum of pharmacy schools in Nigeria.

Introduction: An integrated, competency-based curriculum that fosters social accountability including cultural sensitivity among graduates is an educational strategy towards producing practice-ready professionals. This study aimed to evaluate pharmacy graduates' perceptions of competency, integration, and social accountability in the undergraduate curriculum of Nigerian schools of pharmacy.

Perceived stress and its predictors, stressors and coping strategies among undergraduate pharmacy students in northern Nigeria.

Introduction: Pharmacy education may be associated with stress due to the nature of its curriculum and expectations of high-quality services from students on graduation. This study evaluated perceived stress and its predictors, stressors, and coping strategies among undergraduate pharmacy students in northern Nigeria.

Methods: This was a prospective longitudinal study conducted at three randomly selected pharmacy schools in northern Nigeria.

Quality of life of pharmacy students in Northern Nigeria.

Objectives: To assess the quality of life (QoL) of Nigerian pharmacy students and to investigate its predictors.

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study randomly sampled one pharmacy school from each of the three geopolitical zones of northern Nigeria We collected data with the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Independent-samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to compare groups.
