Background: Hypertensives’ target blood pressure control remains suboptimal in many countries worldwide. Hence, determining patients’ factors affecting target blood pressure control is critical. Objective: The objective of the study was to examine hypertensives’ target blood pressure control and its associations with their sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional design. For the face-to-face data collection with standardized questionnaires, 384 hypertensives attending a tertiary-level hospital were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the target blood pressure control status and bivariate chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used to identify factors significantly associated with the target blood pressure control. Results: The study consisted of nearly equal proportions of male (51.2%) and female (48.8%) participants with a mean age (±SD) of 53.61 ±12.34 years. Only 45.1% had achieved target blood pressure control. Absence of comorbidity (AOR = 1.911, 95% CI: 1.256, 2.908, p = .002), good medication adherence (AOR = 2.535, 95% CI: 1.078, 5.960, p = .033), and normal body mass index (AOR = 1.675, 95% CI: 1.094, 2.564, p = .018) were factors significantly associated with the achievement of the target BP control. Conclusion: Intervention targeting hypertensives’ body weight control, early comorbidity screening and management, and strict adherence to antihypertension medication may improve patients’ blood pressure control status and should be among the priority of the hypertension care clinic specialists’ team.

Malaria is on of the most serious health problems despite the existence of preventive and curatuive measures. Nearly 40% of the world’s population is exposed to this parasitosis. This research is carried out through a cross-descriptive approach correlating it. We used the survey method, supported by the interview technique guided by a simple questionnaire. To analyze our data, we used calculations of the arithmetic mean ; stadard deviation, coefficient of variation, Student t test, Snedecor’s F ratio and multivariate regression. The summary of the results is as follows : Overall, knowlodge of malaria among pregnant women in the health zone of Alunguli is insufficient. The yield reflecting this knowledge is less than 50%. This invalidated the first hypothesis. The variable age, parity, level of education, marittal status and health area of residence of the subjects did not influence knowledge of malaria. Therefore, are not determinants of it. This invalidated the second hypothesis.

Background: The main focus of the curriculum of radio imaging technology course is to spread knowledge, skills, attitude required for the practice. By communication skills students can practice more with volunteer patients. The students in radiography include the subjects such as Anatomy and physiology, radiographic equipment’s, radiation protection, radiography imaging techniques etc. Knowledge estimation may be beneficial for finding possible gap in an organization and publicize actual weakness and drawbacks. Present report on knowledge estimation takes preference over analyze specific qualified professional that are completely resolve by technology. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess handling and care of radiographic modalities and knowledge of students on different modalities. Methods: 94 samples data were collected prospectively and mean, average and percentage stats are used. Result: Out of 94 Samples, the male population was 49 (52.1%) and female 46 (48.9%). They were divided into four categories on the basis of their class standards in which two were (BSc 2 nd and 3rd year) and other two were (MSc. 1st year and MSc. Final year students). Finding shows that BSc. 3rd year has highest knowledge on radiographic modalities i.e. 18.54% and BSc. 2nd year with least knowledge on radiographic modalities i.e. 16.80%. Conclusion: The study concludes that knowledge related to radiographic modalities, handling and care of radiographic modalities must be known to everyone in terms of safety and precaution while working in the radiology department. Safety standards were maintained and guidelines were made along with how to use different modalities and how to handle them with care. Class should be taken at regular interval to check the knowledge of radiographers and staff working in the radiology department so that in case of emergency that can handle and safe both the patient and machine form damage.

Introduction: An ultrasonography scan is a medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce live images of the body. Linear transducer is used to create the images of superficial organs. Superficial sonography used for diagnose various pathologies like Large vessel vasculitis, carpel tunnel syndrome, thyroiditis, carotid artery disease etc. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic application of linear sonographic transducer in various diseases of superficial organs. In the simple sense of word, Transducers are the devices that converts a form of energy into another. These devices have been throughout the history, taking an example of Pythagoras in 550 BC, who sited that pitch and frequency is co-related and this lead to creation of Sonometer, instrument used in music1. A major physics breakthrough occurred in 1880 when the brothers Jacque and Pierre Curie demonstrated the piezoelectric effect, which results in formation of Ultrasound transducer. Over 60 years later, Dr Karl Dussik of Austria in 1940s, becomes the first physician to use the ultrasound in medical diagnosis2. Research Methodology: In this prospective cross-sectional study 40 patients, prescribed for superficial organs ultrasonography (USG) (thyroid {neck}, musculoskeletal, and doppler) were included and stat for result was mean and percentage stats used. This was a quantitative prospective cross sectional study in which high frequency ultrasonography of a maximum of 40 patients with proper indication under taken. Ultrasonography is performed after taking proper history and relevant physical examination performed by the linear transducer (6 – 12 MHz). In this study convenience sampling was used as the sample was taken from a section of the population that was easily accessible or readily available to the researcher. Findings: Total 40 (100%) patient’s data used in this study who undergone the superficial organ examination (Musculoskeletal, Doppler, thyroid {neck}) during the period of study. Out of which 50% (20) patients undergo Thyroid ultrasonography, 25% (10) patients undergo musculoskeletal ultrasonography and 25% (10) patients undergo Doppler imaging ultrasonography. Result of scan collected and master chart is prepared. Author found that in thyroid ultrasonography scan 15% patients have swollen neck and pain was due to cervical varicocele, 12.5% patients have lymph nodes, 2.5% patients have goitre, 2.5% patients have thyroiditis, 2.5% patients have cyst, 2.5 % patients have thyroid mass, and 12.5% patients have normal study. In Doppler ultrasonography scans 5% patients have edema, 2.5% patients have varicocele, 5% patients have varicosities, 2.5% patients have periphery arterial disease and 5% patients have thrombus/plaque and 5% have normal scan with no findings. In musculoskeletal ultrasonography scans 22.5% patients have normal study with no significant findings and 2.5% patients have focal encepahalocele. Conclusion: It is concluded that ultrasou

This study assessed the involvement of nurses/midwives in the achievement of the sustainable development goal 3.8 in south-east and south-west, Nigeria. The objective of the study was to investigate the involvement of nurses/midwives in the primary health care setting and how this could help Nigeria in achieving universal health coverage. Also to determine the quality and outcome of nursing care received by the clients/patients in the healthcare facilities. The research design employed in the study was a cross-sectional survey. The population of the study consisted of nurses/midwives and patients attending the facilities during the study in eighteen primary healthcare facilities in Anambra and Lagos states. The sample size consisted of 123 nurses and 202 patients attending the facilities during the study period, who were randomly selected. Purposive judgement was used in determining the health facilities. Data for the study were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data were derived from observations and the administration of copies of the questionnaire. Secondary data were sourced from the five-year facility’s records, previous research works, books, professional journals, and relevant websites. Sirota’s Three-Factor Theory framework of Equity/Fairness, Achievement and Camaraderie was used to examine and explain the critical variables in the study. The instruments used for the study were researcher-developed questionnaire items and a standardized hospital assessment of healthcare providers and systems(HCAHPS) tool. The instruments were validated by the supervisor and other relevant experts from nursing, health management, public health and statistics. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis for the generated data. Cronbach alpha was used and the reliability coefficient of 0.86 was derived which is indicative of the reliability of the instrument.

Background: Neck pain (NP), one of the most reported musculoskeletal disorders, is a major cause of illness and absence from university lessons among students. The COVID-19 pandemic affected higher education from university lessons among students. The COVID-19 pandemic affected higher education institutions worldwide. Academic studies shifted to online-learning, changing students’ habits and lifestyle. Data demonstrated that the pandemic and consequent lockdowns can affect people’s physical and mental well-being. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown on the level of neck pain and shoulder pain among college students compared to the pre-epidemic period. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in the form of an online questionnaire survey that included sociodemographic data, Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Results: A total of 100 students were recruited. Among them the mean, standard deviation, median and the mean percentage of the stress level regarding neck pain among college students. The findings reveals that the majority of the college students, 49 (49%) had low stress level, 31 (31%) had moderate stress level and 20 (20%) had high stress regarding neck pain. The mean score for the stress level was 12.56 with a mean % of 44.12 whereas a median and standard deviation was 12 and 9.75 respectively. It can be concluded that higher the mean scores mean higher the stress level among the students. It indicates that any changes in stress level will affect the neck pain automatically among college students. Therefore, their online sessions will also get influenced due to neck pain in a given study. It is evidenced that these factors were influenced by stress level regarding their neck pain among college students during their online sessions. It is evidenced that any changes in stress level will also influenced more in the pain Intensity, lifting, concentration, work, sleeping and recreation activities as compared to other factors among college students during their online sessions in a given study. Conclusion: The purpose of the study was to investigate impact of covid-19 pandemic and lockdown on the level of neck pain and shoulder pain among college students. The statistical results have shown that about 49% had low stress levels, about 31% had moderate stress levels and 20% had high stress regarding neck and shoulder pain among the students. It can be concluded that the higher the mean scores value higher the stress level among the students. It is evidenced in other research that these factors were influenced by stress level regarding their neck pain among college students during their online sessions.

E-learning plays a vital role in this current scenario among students across the globe. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of perception, performance and satisfaction regarding online learning during Covid-19 pandemic among undergraduate physiotherapy students. A quantitative approach with a non-experimental descriptive research design with 60 undergraduate physiotherapy students were recruited as study participants using a non-probability sampling technique for this study. According to the research study conducted by Abbasi Maria S. in 2020 stated that E-learning satisfaction levels were better among developed countries (7.34) compared to developing countries (5.82). The majority of participants agreed that E-learning was satisfactory in acquiring knowledge, however not effective in acquiring clinical and technical skills. As the COVID-19 lockdown eases, there is a need for improvement in the methods employed in E-learning and more blended learning among healthcare students is recommended. Data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire both for demographic information and to assess their level of perception, performance and satisfaction with online learning. The result of this study showed that the majority (50%) of the 30 physiotherapy students were between the ages of 19 and 20. By gender, 39 (65%) were women. In terms of religion, 38 (63.3%) were Hindu. 42 (60%) of them in the Bachelor of Physiotherapy program were in their junior year. Regarding prior information, 36 (60%) received updates via social media. It has also found that the current Level of Awareness, Performance and Satisfaction of Physiotherapy Students with Online Learning 7%) were found to have moderate awareness. Low awareness, 8 people (13.3%) had high awareness. Current online learning outcomes were 44 (73.3%) fair, 13 (21.7%) good and 3 (5%)) bad. Current satisfaction results showed that 44 people (73.3%) were moderately satisfied with online learning, 12 people (20%) were very satisfied, and 4 people (6.7%) were not satisfied. For this study, the mean score and standard deviation of current level of perception, performance and satisfaction with online learning among undergraduate physiotherapy students were 31.28±6.27, 33.20±5.54,33.35±6.29 with a minimum score of 14.0, 15.0 and 10.0, maximum score 43.0, 50.0 and 50.0. Furthermore, it has also showed that the association between current level of perception, performance and satisfaction with online learning among undergraduate physiotherapy students with their selected demographic variables None of the demographic variables showed a statistically significant relationship with current level of perception, performance and satisfaction with online learning among undergraduate physiotherapy students.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes in hypertensives are substantially influenced by risk-reduction behaviors. Even though hypertensives in Ethiopia have a high prevalence of behavioral risks for negative CVD outcomes, little is known about risk-reduction behaviors in this population. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the CVD risk reduction behaviors among adult hypertensives in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method: A cross-sectional design was used. A sample of 384 hypertensives was selected using a systematic random sampling technique from the hypertension clinic registry. Epi data version 3.10 was used to clean the data, and SPSS version 25.0 was used for analysis. Descriptive statistic was used to determine participants’ CVD risk reduction behavioral status. Bivariate chi-square test and ordinal logistic regression analyses were run to identify variables associated with participants' ranked CVD risk reduction behavioral status at the p-value < .05 cutoff for statistical significance. Results: The mean (± standard deviation) age of participants was 53.61 (± 12.34) years, (range, 30-82 years), and 51.2% were males. The majority (56.5%) of them were at low CV risk reduction practices. Only 45.1% were at target BP control. The absence of comorbidities (p < .001), clinic visits every 3 months for hypertension (p = .041), normal body mass index (p = .008), hypertension duration of 5–9 years (p = .034), and young age adults (p = .041) were the characteristics significantly associated with the high CVD risk reduction practice. Conclusion: Hypertensives' adoption of CVD risk reduction behaviors was low, with a variety of unmanaged risk factors and a few cardioprotective behaviors. Healthcare providers may improve patients’ CV risk-reduction behavior through teaching lifestyle changes and more frequent clinic visits.
