Immunization Services

Background: Adverse events following immunization (AEFI) surveillance largely depends on the ability of the healthcare worker (HCW) to timely detect and report cases using the correct reporting tools through an appropriate system. AEFI surveillance is carried out regularly during both routine immunization services and supplemental immunization activities in the state. Objective: We assessed knowledge of adverse events following immunization reporting tools and system among primary HCWs in Jigawa state, northwestern Nigeria. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used for this study. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 290 HCWs that had spent at least 6 months in immunization units of primary healthcare centers of Jigawa state. Data were collected using pretested self-administered structured questionnaire with open and closed ended questions and were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 20 software. All statistical tests were 2-tailed with P < .05 as the statistical significance level. Results: Most of the primary HCWs (93.2%) had AEFI reporting forms in their health facilities, and 68.9% said that the AEFI reporting form could be obtained from a focal or contact person in the health facility. Up to 96.4% of the primary HCWs were aware of how to report AEFI. Also, ~76.6% of primary HCWs knew the correct AEFI reporting flow, but only 15.8% knew that only serious AEFIs are reported. Furthermore, ~78.8% and 19.4% of HCWs mentioned telephone and filling forms as some of the appropriate methods of AEFI notification, respectively. Conclusions: Most primary HCWs had reporting forms in their health facilities and were aware of how to report an AEFI. Most of the respondents knew the correct AEFI reporting flow. The state in collaboration with local government authorities should provide quality training on AEFI reporting and reporting system.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Background: Nowadays, obesity is one of the biggest public health problems. Obesity is an excessive accumulation of fat that can occur when fat-producing foods, such as carbohydrates or sugar, are over-consumed. Sucrose is a type of carbohydrate contained in food and is a medium for bacterial growth. Therefore, the consumption of sucrose can increase the risk of dental caries. Purpose: This study aims to analyse the correlation between carbohydrate intake and dental caries in obese individuals. Methods: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. In this study, 50 participants aged 18–40 were selected from an obese community in Jakarta using a quota sampling technique. The carbohydrate intake was assessed using the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), the body fat percentage was measured with the bioelectrical impedance analysis method, and the dental caries index was assessed using the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMF-T) index. The data obtained were tested with a simple linear regression statistical test at a significance level of 5%. Results: The results showed that the average carbohydrate daily intake value of obese individuals was 1209.84 g, while the average value of the DMF-T index for obese individuals was 7.98. The results of the statistical tests revealed that there was a strong and positive correlation between carbohydrate intake and the DMF-T index. The effect of carbohydrate intake on the DMF-T index was 50.98%. Conclusion: A positive correlation means that the larger the carbohydrate intake, the higher the DMF-T index. Hence, controlling carbohydrate intake can prevent dental caries.

Background. Implanon discontinuation is unacceptably high in developing countries, including Ethiopia. Furthermore, there is an observed problem of high unintended pregnancy after method discontinuation that strides to program failure. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the level and determinants of Implanon discontinuation among women who used Implanon in Andabet district, public health facilities, North-West Ethiopia, 2017. Methods. Facility-based cross-sectional study design was employed among 537 women from Feb. 03 to April 28, 2017. Study participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. A face-to-face interview was employed to collect data. Epi-Info version 7 was used for data entry and SPSS version 20 for analysis. Both descriptive and analytical statistical analysis was computed. On multivariable binary logistic regression, a p value of less than 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. Results. About 37% of Implanon users have discontinued the method before the intended time. About 86% of them discontinued Implanon before two years of insertion. Women who had no live child ( AOR = 2.17 , 95% CI: 1.25-3.77), women who did not receive preinsertion counseling ( AOR = 1.85 , 95% CI: 1.15-2.97), women who developed Implanon-related side effect ( AOR = 5.17 , 95% CI: 3.18-8.40), and women who did not satisfy by the service provided ( AOR = 5.40 , 95% CI: 3.04-9.57) had higher odds of Implanon discontinuation. On the other hand, women who received appointment follow-up ( AOR = 0.23 , 95% CI: 0.13-0.41) had lower odds of Implanon discontinuation. Conclusions. The level of Implanon discontinuation before its intended time was high in the district. Hence, strengthening preinsertion counseling and appointment follow-up as well as improving the clients’ level of service satisfaction could increase Implanon’s continuation.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine cross-sectional associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and mental health among police officers.Design/methodology/approachThe sample was from the Buffalo Cardio-Metabolic Occupational Police Stress study data (132 male and 51 female officers). Standardized surveys were administered to participants. Regression coefficients were obtained from models adjusted for age, sex, race and alcohol intake. All statistical tests were performed using a statistical significance level at p < 0.05.FindingsRegression analyses showed significant positive associations between ACEs and mental health (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD]: β = 1.70, p < 0.001 and depressive symptoms: β = 1.29, p < 0.001). Resiliency significantly modified the association between ACEs and PTSD. A positive and significant association was observed among officers with lower resiliency (β = 2.65, p < 0.001). The association between ACEs and PTSD was stronger among male officers compared to females (β = 2.66, p < 0.001 vs. β = 0.59, p ≤ 0.248, respectively).Research limitations/implicationsChild abuse and development of PTSD or depression could not be traced through time as this was a cross-sectional study. Recall bias may affect results.Practical implicationsPTSD and depression associated with ACEs can affect the interpretation of threat and can exacerbate emotional regulation in officers. An inquiry should be expanded regarding work assignments of victimized officers, such as child exploitation and pornography investigation.Originality/valueThere are few studies on ACEs and the mental health of police officers. The present study is among the first to associate multiple police mental health issues with ACEs.
