Introduction: the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant pathogens which have now become a threat to public health. Antibiotic use is high in poultry and pig production, compared to other food-producing animals, yet in Ghana, there is limited data and surveillance studies on their use. The study investigates the knowledge of farmers on antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance.
导言:滥用抗生素导致耐抗生素病原体的发展,现在已成为对公共卫生的威胁。与其他粮食生产动物相比,家禽和生猪生产中的抗生素使用量很高,但在加纳,关于抗生素使用的数据和监测研究有限。该研究调查了农民对抗生素和抗菌素耐药性的了解情况。

Introduction: gender-based violence (GBV) is a global pandemic which is deeply rooted in culture, hence the need to contextually understand its occurrence and patterns in rural settings. The objective of this study assessed respondents´ attitude, prevalence, the perceived risk factors, patterns and predictors of GBV in Ife-Odan, Osun State, Nigeria. Methods: cross-sectional study design was used and multi-stage sampling method employed to recruit 450 consenting adults. A pretested interviewer-administered, semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out. Results: mean age (±SD) of the respondents was 30.73±7.0, 58.7% of them were females and 88.0% had negative attitude to GBV. Prevalence of any form of GBV was 16.2%. Predominant GBV types included intimate partner violence (IPV) (58.3%), female genital mutilation (FGM) (31.1%), Sexual violence (6.9%) and incest (3.4%). Perceived risk factors of GBV included cultural acceptance, substance abuse, lack of punishments for GBV offenders, indecent female dressing styles, social media influences, effects of COVID-19 lockdown and male dominance. However, gender (AOR=7.82;95%CI=2.35-8.17), marital status (AOR=3.23;95%CI=1.82-3.78), religion (AOR=5.02;95%CI=1.78-9.63) and attitude (AOR=4.23;95%CI=2.267-5.82) were the significant predictors of past GBV experiences in the study setting. Conclusion: gender-based violence (GBV) is prevalent in the study setting, with IPV being the most common. There is need for policymakers to focus on cultural transformation by designing a robust awareness campaign against GBV in rural Nigerian communities. Traditional and religious leaders should be sensitized and involved in the campaign programs using all available channels of communication. Laws prohibiting perpetration of GBV need to be fully implemented. © 2023, Pan African Medical Journal. All rights reserved.
导言:基于性别的暴力是一种深深植根于文化的全球流行病,因此有必要从背景上了解其在农村环境中的发生和模式。本研究的目的是评估尼日利亚奥松州Ife-Odan地区受访者的态度、患病率、感知的风险因素、性别暴力的模式和预测因素。方法:采用横断面研究设计,采用多阶段抽样方法,共招募成人450人。数据收集使用了一份预先测试的、由访谈者管理的半结构化问卷。进行了描述性和推断性统计。结果:被调查者的平均年龄(±SD)为30.73±7.0岁,女性占58.7%,88.0%对GBV持否定态度。任何形式的GBV患病率为16.2%。主要的性别暴力类型包括亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)(58.3%)、切割女性生殖器官(31.1%)、性暴力(6.9%)和乱伦(3.4%)。人们认为,性别暴力的风险因素包括文化接受度、药物滥用、对性别暴力犯罪者缺乏惩罚、女性不得体的着装风格、社交媒体影响、COVID-19封锁的影响和男性主导地位。然而,性别(AOR=7.82, 95%CI=2.35-8.17)、婚姻状况(AOR=3.23, 95%CI=1.82-3.78)、宗教信仰(AOR=5.02, 95%CI=1.78-9.63)和态度(AOR=4.23, 95%CI= 2.266 -5.82)是研究环境中过去GBV经历的显著预测因子。结论:基于性别的暴力(GBV)在研究环境中普遍存在,其中IPV最为常见。决策者需要通过在尼日利亚农村社区设计一项反对性别暴力的强有力的宣传运动,把重点放在文化转型上。应利用一切可用的沟通渠道,使传统和宗教领袖敏感地参与运动方案。禁止性别暴力的法律需要得到充分执行。©2023,《泛非医学杂志》。版权所有。

Introduction: the COVID-19 pandemic had prompted governments in many countries to enact laws and policies to combat the spread of COVID-19 at work. The DEL required every worker to be screened when they arrived at work. Screening methods included self-reporting symptoms using a symptom monitoring tool. This study aimed to determine compliance with the symptom monitoring tool by assessing the knowledge, attitude, and practice of the MHSF employees. Methods: a cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to the employees. Information related to demographic, COVID-19 exposure, knowledge of COVID-19 and the symptom monitoring tool, attitude towards the symptom monitoring tool and practices towards COVID-19 and the symptom monitoring tool was collected. Results: a total of 90 participants participated in the study. The majority (N=45;50%) of respondents were aged between 30 and 39 years old, with more female (N=50) than male (N=40) participants. The majority (N=51;56.7%) only had grade 12 as the highest level of education. There were 25% (N=10) of males and 20% (N=10) of females who contracted COVID-19. The relationship between the COVID-19 positive cases and the symptom monitoring tool identifying symptoms had a strong negative correlation (-0.932). Respondent's knowledge of COVID-19 and the symptom monitoring tool was moderate (72.4%), with the attitude to the symptom monitoring tool being moderate (63.3%) as well. However, the practices of the COVID-19 guidelines and the symptom monitoring tool were good (93.3%). Conclusion: the employees of the MHSF complied with the completion of the daily symptom monitoring tool. There was decent knowledge of COVID-19 and the symptom monitoring tool, with a moderate attitude and good practices towards COVID-19 and completing the tool. The tool was able to identify suspected COVID-19 cases, which possibly reduced the spread of the virus in the workplace. © Stellan Abraham John et al.
导言:COVID-19大流行促使许多国家的政府制定法律和政策,以防止COVID-19在工作场所传播。DEL要求每个工人在到达工作地点时都要接受检查。筛查方法包括使用症状监测工具自我报告症状。本研究旨在通过评估MHSF员工的知识、态度和行为来确定他们对症状监测工具的依从性。方法:采用横断面调查问卷对员工进行调查。收集人口统计学、COVID-19暴露、COVID-19和症状监测工具知识、对COVID-19和症状监测工具的态度以及对COVID-19和症状监测工具的做法等相关信息。结果:共有90名参与者参与了本研究。大多数(N=45;50%)受访者年龄在30 - 39岁之间,女性(N=50)多于男性(N=40)。大多数人(N=51;56.7%)只把12年级作为最高教育水平。男性感染者占25% (N=10),女性感染者占20% (N=10)。COVID-19阳性病例与症状监测工具识别症状呈强负相关(-0.932)。被调查者对COVID-19和症状监测工具的知晓率为中等(72.4%),对症状监测工具的态度为中等(63.3%)。但对COVID-19指南和症状监测工具的使用情况良好(93.3%)。结论:MHSF员工遵守完成日常症状监测工具。对COVID-19和症状监测工具有一定的了解,对COVID-19有温和的态度和良好的做法,并完成工具。该工具能够识别疑似COVID-19病例,这可能减少了病毒在工作场所的传播。©Stellan Abraham John et al。

The DEL required every worker to be screened when they arrived at work. Screening methods included self-reporting symptoms using a symptom monitoring tool. This study aimed to determine compliance with the symptom monitoring tool by assessing the knowledge, attitude, and practice of the MHSF employees. Methods: a cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to the employees. Information related to demographic, COVID-19 exposure, knowledge of COVID-19 and the symptom monitoring tool, attitude towards the symptom monitoring tool and practices towards COVID-19 and the symptom monitoring tool was collected. Results: a total of 90 participants participated in the study. The majority (N=45;50%) of respondents were aged between 30 and 39 years old, with more female (N=50) than male (N=40) participants. The majority (N=51;56.7%) only had grade 12 as the highest level of education. There were 25% (N=10) of males and 20% (N=10) of females who contracted COVID-19. The relationship between the COVID-19 positive cases and the symptom monitoring tool identifying symptoms had a strong negative correlation (-0.932). Respondent's knowledge of COVID-19 and the symptom monitoring tool was moderate (72.4%), with the attitude to the symptom monitoring tool being moderate (63.3%) as well. However, the practices of the COVID-19 guidelines and the symptom monitoring tool were good (93.3%). Conclusion: the employees of the MHSF complied with the completion of the daily symptom monitoring tool. There was decent knowledge of COVID-19 and the symptom monitoring tool, with a moderate attitude and good practices towards COVID-19 and completing the tool. The tool was able to identify suspected COVID-19 cases, which possibly reduced the spread of the virus in the workplace. © Stellan Abraham John et al.","PeriodicalId":34098,"journal":{"name":"PAMJ One Health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64729785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
