Trusting in times of the Covid-19 crisis
Previous research has highlighted the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers’ (HCWs) mental health, yet protective factors remain underexplored. Emerging studies emphasize the importance of trust in government and interpersonal relationships in reducing infections and fostering positive vaccine attitudes. This study investigates the relationship between HCWs’ trust in the workplace and government and depressive symptoms du…
Inequality on the frontline
Healthcare workers (HCWs) were at increased risk for mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, with prior data suggesting women may be particularly vulnerable. Our global mental health study aimed to examine factors associated with gender differences in psychological distress and depressive symptoms among HCWs during COVID-19. Across 22 countries in South America, Europe, Asia and Africa, 32,410 HCWs participated in the COVID-19 HEalth…
Explanatory models, illness, and treatment experiences of patients with psychosis using the services of traditional and faith healers in three African countries
As part of formative studies to design a program of collaborative care for persons with psychosis, we explored personal experience and lay attributions of illness as well as treatment among persons who had recently received care at traditional and faith healers' (TFHs) facilities in three cultural groups in Sub-Saharan Africa. A purposive sample of 85 individuals in Ibadan (Nigeria), Kumasi (Ghana), and Nairobi (Kenya) were interviewed. Data was …
Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year
BACKGROUND: The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. METHODS: For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to esti…
Wellbeing, burnout and substance use amongst medical students
OBJECTIVE: There has been increasing interest in the physical health, mental wellbeing and burnout afflicting medical students over recent years. This paper describes the overall results from phase two of an international study including a further nine countries across the world. METHODS: We sampled large groups of medical students in nine countries at the same time and with exactly the same method in order to aid direct comparison of demographic…
A descriptive study of mental health and burnout among Nigerian medical students
BACKGROUND: Increasing attention is being paid to medical students' mental wellbeing globally due in part to their exposure to stressors inherent in medical education and the numerous reports of elevated rates of mental health conditions in this population. AIMS: This study aimed to identify stressors and determine prevalence rates of psychiatric morbidity, substance use and burnout in a sample of Nigerian medical students. METHODS: In a cross-se…
Prevalence of alcohol consumption and alcohol use disorders among outdoor drinkers in public open places in Nigeria
Outdoor-open space drinkers are likely to have AUD compared with the general population. Open space drinking has a huge public health implication because of the associated health risks and injuries
Assessment of the alcohol consumption among outdoor bar drinkers in Nigeria by qualitative methods
A high proportion of social drinkers in outdoor bars require intervention for their drinking behaviour. This is important because they have little or no information about the health hazards associated with excessive drinking. Presentation of these findings should contribute to increased awareness and improved response from the policy makers
Should Traffic Offenders Undergo Compulsory “Mental Test”
Effectiveness of Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test-Linked Brief Intervention on Harmful and Hazardous Alcohol Use in Nigerian Semirural Communities
There is a potential for CHEW-administered ASSIST-linked screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment for unhealthy alcohol use in Nigerian semirural communities. This is feasible considering serious dearth of addiction specialists in the country
Profile and Determinants of Disability in Psychotic Disorders in Nigeria
The suicide of Ṣàngó through the prism of Integrated Motivational–Volitional model of suicide
Recent studies have continued to recommend community-based public enlightenment and education as a key suicide-prevention strategy in sub-Saharan Africa. The role of socio-cultural factors in suicidal behaviours and the relevance of cultural factors in better understanding of and formulating more effective prevention strategies for suicidal behaviours are gaining wider acceptance. Therefore, in a multi-ethnic and multicultural region like sub-Sah…
A cultural look on suicide
This conceptual review focuses on deepening the cultural perspective on suicidal behaviour and suicide prevention using a specific cultural group (the Yorùbá) as a paradigmatic example. We examine the social/cultural cognitions in Yorùbá that are ingrained in concepts of dishonour, shame, and masculine ethos, and the way these may contribute to the phenomenology of suicidal behaviours in Yorùbá communities. We also addressed the limitations of so…
