Qualitative Study on Knowledge of Non-Pharmacological Interventions as Management Strategies for Hypertension Among Middle-Aged Adults in Rural Areas of Anambra State
Recent World Health Organization records show that hypertension is more common in Africa than in other parts of the world, and remains a major common risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, stroke, renal diseases, and death. However, little is known about hypertension management strategies among people in rural areas. Therefore, this phenomenological study aimed to investigate knowledge of hypertension management strategies among middle-aged adu…
Using Preventive, Protection, Prosecution and Partnership Framework to Explore the Successes and Constraints of Social Work to Address Sex Trafficking in Edo, Nigeria
Social work features in human trafficking discourses as a remedial approach, but the profession’s potentials in Nigeria have not been fully realised. Thus, our research seeks to understand how social work has fared across the Prevention, Protection, Prosecution and Partnership (4Ps) of anti-human trafficking in Edo (a prime source destination for sex trafficking in Nigeria), and what can be done to scale up the presence and efficacy of social wor…

Participants for the study included four social work edu…

It is highlighted in some parts of the world that several professionals, including social workers, are involved in interventions against COVID-19. This, however, appears not to be so in Nigeria, as social workers are said to be suboptimally involved. Through telephone interviews, the views of six healthcare workers and six social workers were sought on the inclusion and efforts of Nigerian social workers in contributing to COVID-19 interventions.…
Informal foster care practice in Anambra State, Nigeria and safety concerns
Mother-to-child transmission of HIV and utilization of preventive services in Anambra South Senatorial Zone, Nigeria
Low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria, are often associated with poor health outcomes, such as the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is a dominant driver of HIV/AIDS in these countries, necessitating the need to prevent such mode of transmission. With the availability of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMCTC) services in Anambra S…
