Background: College students engage in large amounts of sedentary behavior which have been linked to adverse mental health outcomes. Poor postural habits due to the increase in this behavior, in conjunction with prolonged mobile phone usage, can lead to poor posture in these younger populations. As such, this study aims to identify how college-students feel about their posture, the prevalence of pain patterns, psychological status, and their knowledge of intervention options available. Methods: A descriptive, observation survey study collected data from a healthy college-age population of 58 male and 100 female (n = 158) (mean = 21.6 ± 1.9y). Survey included assessments of self-perceived attitudes regarding posture, ergonomics, neck disability (NDI), mental health outcomes, knowledge of postural rehabilitation techniques, and range of motion (ROM). Results: In total, 88.6% of participants wished their posture was better, 93.7% and 96.2% believed their standing and sitting postures could be improved, respectively. Thirty-five percent of participants qualified as Mild or Moderate Disability based upon their cumulative NDI scores. Strong correlations (r = 0.61) between participants' self-reported need to improve standing and sitting posture, and a moderate correlation (r = -0.47) between pain when sitting and total NDI. Conclusion: We noted a prevalence of posture-related issues and the impacts on daily function including sleeping and sitting. Future research should look to objectively assess posture through validated measures to investigate the extent of posture-related pain and dysfunction. To alleviate early-onset neck pain and reduce the risk of developing future chronic neck pain, college aged populations need education on proper posture and rehabilitation interventions designed to alleviate pain and dysfunction over the short-and long-term.

Purpose: In Nigeria, people living with disabilities often face unintentional poor treatment and neglect. This cross-sectional study was aimed at exploring the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception of healthcare professionals towards PLWD in Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi Anambra State. Materials and methods: A total of 293 healthcare professionals were recruited through a random sampling technique. An adopted Knowledge, Attitude, and Perception of Physically Disabled People (KAPDAP) questionnaire was used to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception. Participants’ characteristics were summarized using mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentages. Chi-square test was used to examine the association between selected participants’ variables and the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception of physical disability. Results: 242 (82.6%) of the participants had fair knowledge, 151 (51.5%) had fair attitude, while 142 (48.5%) of the participants had fair perceptions of PLWD. There was a significant association between professions and knowledge about disability. Conclusions: The findings from this study indicated that healthcare professionals within the study area had adequate knowledge of physical disability-related issues capable of impacting positively their attitude and perception towards PLWD. There was a significant association between professions and knowledge (p < 0.001), with physiotherapists possessing the highest knowledge level. However, more efforts on advocacy should be made until a disability-friendly environment is achieved across all studied professions.
目的:在尼日利亚，残疾人经常面临非故意的不良待遇和忽视。本横断面研究旨在探讨在阿南布拉州Nnamdi Azikiwe教学医院医疗保健专业人员对PLWD的知识水平、态度和看法。材料与方法:采用随机抽样方法，共招募293名医护人员。采用KAPDAP (Knowledge, Attitude, and Perception of physical disabilities，残障人士的知识、态度和感知)问卷来评估残障人士的知识、态度和感知水平。使用平均值、标准差、频率和百分比来总结参与者的特征。采用卡方检验检验所选被试变量与身体残疾知识、态度和感知水平之间的相关性。结果:有242人(82.6%)对PLWD有一般的认识，151人(51.5%)对PLWD有一般的态度，142人(48.5%)对PLWD有一般的认识。职业与残疾知识之间存在显著关联。结论:本研究结果表明，研究区域内的医护人员对身体残疾相关问题有足够的了解，能够积极影响他们对肢体残疾的态度和看法。专业与知识之间存在显著相关(p < 0.001)，物理治疗师的知识水平最高。但是，在所有被研究的职业都实现对残疾人友好的环境之前，应在宣传方面作出更多努力。
