Globally, an estimated 22.7 million children are unimmunized or ‘zero-dose’ (ZD), with 3.1 million in Nigeria. The political and economic environment plays a critical role in influencing the number of ZD and under-immunized children. We explored stakeholder perceptions of the political and economic context of vaccination services in Kano and Lagos States, two Nigerian States with a high number of ZD children. We conducted stakeholder mapping, followed by key informant interviews with 84 State, local, and community informants responsible for or influential in immunization. Transcripts were analyzed using a reflective thematic framework approach. We describe the multi-level network of domestic and international actors characterizing Nigeria's immunization policymaking and implementation landscape. Respondents perceived a strong and mutual political commitment by all actors involved in routine immunization. The pivotal role of local influencers further reinforced this commitment, from traditional to religious leaders, to improving uptake in challenging settings. Knowledge of national policies, and thus, perception of their adequacy in addressing under-immunization, was weakest among participants working at the local and community levels. Other reported barriers to policy implementation included bureaucratic delays in fund disbursement, outdated policies, slow dissemination of policies to local levels, and inadequate policy provisions for funding and staffing at the local level. To enhance equitable immunization coverage in Kano and Lagos, our findings suggest a need for meaningful engagement of community actors in policy development, timely policy revisions, and the establishment of mechanisms for expediting fund disbursements and addressing funding shortfalls at the local levels.

BACKGROUND: Reducing the number of zero-dose children in Nigeria requires a context-specific understanding of the factors driving under-immunization at individual and community levels. This study identifies barriers and enablers to immunization uptake among caregivers of children under two in high-burden zero-dose communities in Kano and Lagos States, Nigeria. METHODS: We followed a qualitative methods approach, conducting 40 focus group discussions (FGDs) among caregivers in the urban communities of Ungogo and Alimosho in Kano and Lagos states, respectively, peri-urban communities of Gezawa in Kano state and rural communities of Ikorodu in Lagos state. Vignettes, gender analysis, and concept-testing of interventions were integrated into the FGD guides to minimize social desirability and explore gendered factors. FGDs were pretested, translated into local languages, audio-recorded, transcribed, and back-translated into English. Thematic analysis was performed using NVivo software. RESULTS: We identified high recognition of the importance of childhood immunization among our study communities, despite inadequate immunization uptake. The main barriers to immunization uptake found in this study were gender-skewed decision-making in childhood vaccination between caregivers, prevalent misconceptions about immunization, prioritization of unmet socio-economic needs over immunization, and past negative experiences with immunization and health services. Enablers included effective community mobilization, involvement of religious and traditional leaders, positive attitudes of well-trained health workers, reliable fixed and outreach immunization services, and material incentives for caregivers. Caregivers preferred community-based strategies, especially those engaging community and religious leaders. CONCLUSION: While similar barriers and enablers are inherent in global vaccine rejection, two-way community engagement for collective action, vaccination awareness campaigns, and engagement of cultural and traditional leaders, including fathers, offer promising strategies for improving immunization uptake in Nigeria.

Background The implementation of the country-wide comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) curriculum among in-school adolescents remains abysmally low and mHealth-based interventions are promising. We assessed the effect of a mHealth-based CSE on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge, attitude and behaviour of in-school adolescents in Ilorin, northcentral Nigeria. Methods Using schools as clusters, 1280 in-school adolescents were randomised into intervention and control groups. Data was collected at baseline (T0), immediately after the intervention (T1) and 3 months afterwards (T2) on SRH knowledge, attitude and practice of risky sexual behaviour (RSB). Data analysis included test of associations using Chi-square, independent t-test and repeated measures ANOVA. Predictors were identified using binary logistic regression. Results In the intervention group, there was a statistically significant main effect on mean knowledge score (F = 2117.252, p = < 0.001) and mean attitude score (F = 148.493, p = < 0.001) from T0 to T2 compared to the control group which showed no statistically significant main effects in knowledge (p = 0.073), attitude (p = 0.142) and RSB (p = 0.142). Though the mean RSB score declined from T0 to T2, this effect was not statistically significant (F = 0.558, p = 0.572). Post-intervention, being female was a positive predictor of good SRH knowledge; being male was a positive predictor of RSB while being in a higher-class level was a negative predictor of RSB. Conclusion The mHealth-based CSE was effective in improving SRH knowledge and attitude among in-school adolescents. This strategy should be strengthened to bridge the SRH knowledge and attitude gap among in-school adolescents.

Introduction: As a result of the rapid development and approval of the COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic, there was serious misinformation about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine. Providing evidence-based proof of the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine could dispel this scepticism. The study aimed to assess the pattern and incidence of COVID-19 vaccine reactions among adult clients in a tertiary health facility following immunization. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care institute among recipients of the first dose of the of the COVID-19 vaccine between April and July 2021. Study populations were adults above 18 years. Participants were assessed for any reactions four times. Immediately after vaccination and later, same day one, day 2, day 3, and on/after day 7. A telephone interview was conducted, and the recipients were assessed according to the time and type of reactions, actions taken following reactions, and severe forms of reactions. Results: A total of 1535 participants were assessed post-COVID-19 vaccination reactions, and 805 (52.4%) reported at least one of the COVID-19 vaccine reactions following vaccination, and less than a percent reported perceived severe adverse reactions. Pain at the injection site (5.0%), myalgia (2.8%), and headache (1.6%) were the common adverse events reported immediately after vaccination. The majority of the respondents (93.4%) were willing to take the second dose of the of the COVID-19 vaccine. The major factor associated with COVID-19 vaccine reactions following vaccination was the age group. Conclusion: Many people still experience a certain type of discomfort after vaccinations; this discomfort is often mild to moderate and is more prevalent in young adults. Most of the reactions resolve after a few days without intervention.

Background Recent reports of artemisinin partial resistance from Rwanda and Uganda are worrisome and suggest a future policy change to adopt new anti-malarials. This is a case study on the evolution, adoption, and implementation of new anti-malarial treatment policies in Nigeria. The main objective is to provide perspectives to enhance the future uptake of new anti-malarials, with an emphasis on stakeholder engagement strategies. Methods This case study is based on an analysis of policy documents and stakeholders’ perspectives drawn from an empirical study conducted in Nigeria, 2019–2020. A mixed methods approach was adopted, including historical accounts, review of programme and policy documents, and 33 qualitative in-depth interviews and 6 focus group discussions. Results Based on policy documents reviewed, the adoption of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) in Nigeria was swift due to political will, funding and support from global developmental partners. However, the implementation of ACT was met with resistance from suppliers, distributors, prescribers, and end-users, attributed to market dynamics, costs and inadequate stakeholder engagement. Deployment of ACT in Nigeria witnessed increased developmental partner support, robust data generation, ACT case-management strengthening and evidence on anti-malarial use in severe malaria and antenatal care management. A framework for effective stakeholder engagement for the future adoption of new anti-malarial treatment strategies was proposed. The framework covers the pathway from generating evidence on drug efficacy, safety and uptake; to making treatment accessible and affordable to end-users. It addresses which stakeholders to engage with and the content of engagement strategies with key stakeholders at different levels of the transition process. Conclusion Early and staged engagement of stakeholders from global bodies to community level end-users is critical to the successful adoption and uptake of new anti-malarial treatment policies. A framework for these engagements was proposed as a contribution to enhancing the uptake of future anti-malarial strategies.

Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice, 2023
Background: The recent drop in immunization coverage in Nigeria has left more than 3.25 million children unimmunized and has risen concern over immunization completion among the under-five children. More so among underserved communities of pastoralist nomads and farmers that were isolated from immunization services because of operational and sociocultural factors. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical (comparative analysis) study was carried out among 550 eligible caregivers of under-five children in nomadic and farming communities in Niger State, Nigeria. The mothers and caregivers paired with under-five children were recruited into the study using a multistage sampling technique. Data was collected using a validated interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data was analyzed with the statistical software package (version 23). Results: More than half of the under-five children studied were males in both the nomadic (57.5%) and farming (52.0%) communities. The aggregated score of immunization knowledge was significantly (P < 0.001) better (Good 44.4%; Fair 49.8%) among farmers compared to their nomads’ counterpart (Good 21.1%; Fair 43.6%). Conversely, almost all the respondents (98.2%) in nomadic community significantly had a good overall perception of childhood immunization compared to 77.1% in the farming community. More farmers’ children (99.6%) had received immunization compared to 92.4% of the nomads’ children. About 87.3% of farmers compared to 76% of the nomads’ (76.0%) children reported immunization completion. About 50.5% of the farmers’ and 41.4% of the nomads’ children have achieved immunization on card inspection. Conclusion: This study revealed that average immunization completion reported among under-five children in both farming and nomadic communities is higher than the national average. It is recommended that more strategies are needed to intensify immunization campaigns targeted at populations in Nigeria.

Nigerian Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2023
Background: Caregivers play an important role in informal patient management. Identification of the support types and the financial challenges faced by caregivers will provide information on strategies to ease this burden. This study aimed to describe the support types and financial burden amongst caregivers in a tertiary hospital in North Central Nigeria. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted amongst caregivers of inpatients in a tertiary hospital in North Central Nigeria. Data were collected using a pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire and were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences package version 23. Results were reported in frequencies and proportions and presented in prose, tables and charts. Results: A total of 400 caregivers were recruited. The mean age was 38.32 ± 12.82 years and most (66.0%) were females. Caregivers supported their patients by running errands (96.3%) and 85.3% reported caregiving as stressful. The reported errands were purchase of medications (92.3%), supply of non-medical needs (63.3%), submission of laboratory samples and collection of results (52.3%) and service payment (47.5%). About two-thirds (63.2%) reported loss of income while caregiving and about half (50.8%) provided financial support to the patients. Conclusion: This study suggests that majority of caregivers experience significant physical and financial burden while caregiving. This burden can be eased off by the simplification of payment and laboratory processes and employment of more staff to support patients admitted to the wards. The financial burden experienced by caregivers reinforces the need to encourage more Nigerians to enrol in a health insurance scheme.

Sage Open Nursing, 2023
Introduction The importance of spirituality in health and wellness has been documented in the literature. While the developed countries have reported robust evidence of spirituality in nursing practices, there is scant evidence in low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria. Objectives This study assessed the spiritual care practices of the nurses attending to cancer patients in a tertiary health institution in Ilorin. It further determined factors associated with spiritual caring practices among nurses. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2021 and December 2021 to assess spiritual care practices among nurses caring for cancer patients. During the study period, 66 nurses were recruited randomly from the hospital's medical and surgical clinics, palliative care department, and Obstetrics and Gynecology department. Twelve items validated Nurses’ spiritual care practices questionnaire was adapted for this study. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23. Results The mean age of the respondents was 36.5 years ( + 10.1) while female respondents made up 83.3%. About 48% of the nurses had good spiritual caring practices while 52% had poor spiritual caring practices. Nurses with training in oncology (96%) with p = .001 and those with spirituality training (86.2%) with p = .017 showed significant association with spiritual care practices. This study concluded that spiritual care practices among nurses are sub-optimal with training as a significantly associated factor with spiritual care practices. Conclusion It is, therefore, suggested that spiritual care practices should be incorporated into all nursing training and curriculum. This will allow them to better support the spiritual needs of the patients, especially those with chronic diseases like cancer.
