The mystery client (MC) methodology is a common quality of care research approach for adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) services. However, there are gaps in the assessment tools that have been used. The objective of this study was to develop the Adolescent Health Quality of Care (AHQOC) index for the assessment of ASRH services. We carried out a cross-sectional descriptive study in 27 selected primary and secondary public health facilities in a rural and an urban local government area (LGA) in Ogun State, Nigeria. Twelve MCs were recruited and trained for this study, six in each LGA. The selected MC scenarios included young males and females who want information on premarital sex, pregnancy prevention, sexually transmitted infection (STI), and contraception. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire administered to the MCs soon after each MC visit. We used exploratory factor analysis to develop a AHQOC index. The index was tested for reliability with Cronbach’s Alpha test and for intra-rater consistency with the intraclass correlation coefficient test. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test results of our initial 37-item pool was 0.7169. Exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation and communality cutoff of 0.3 retained 27 items. The Cronbach's Alpha of the 27-items scale was 0.80, with two subscales having Cronbach's Alpha of 0.76 and 0.85. The intraclass correlation (ICC) coefficient to assess the intra-rater consistency for the 27-item tool in the predominantly urban LGA was 0.66 (0.10 – 0.92) p=0.001, and 0.72 (0.37 – 0.91) p=0.001 for the predominantly rural LGA. The relationships between the full scales and subscales, and a validity item (MC ranking of health worker on proficiency from 1 (worst) to 10 (best)) were positive, and statistically significant. The tool developed is a valuable and validated tool for assessing quality of ASRH services in public health facilities.

Nursing homes (NHs) in Singapore provide essential care services for the elderly who for many reasons, are unable to age at home. And yet, NHs are perceived as a human dumping ground and a career killer for nurses. The perception of career killer may not be far from the truth because the sector had been under-invested in terms of remuneration and career progression and the care work is physical, routine, and repetitive. It also does not help when the physical environment of most NHs are structured as a no-frill factory-style that allows provision of care to be streamlined, what one writer observed it as “safe but soulless” (Basu, 2016). NHs also suffer from chronic staff shortage due to high turnover and burnout. One NH in Singapore is trying to change these negative perceptions through education, research, and providing care using the Green House Model approach. Its Nursing Director is the force behind the push to create a formal Academy where research and education could be conducted to provide care that is evidence-informed and staff feel empowered. Research and education are not synonymous with NHs because of the nature of the care work and negative perceptions. This presentation will discuss how applied research and competency-based education programmes are two key areas in bringing about essential change in a sector that has been dogged with negative images. Using the data of a recent learning needs assessment research, a number of educational modules are being developed for an in-house competency-based training programmes to empower the staff and build their capacity. Visionary leadership and having the moral courage to effect change is the third factor.
