Non-exclusive breastfeeding is defined as the provision of food or fluids in addition to drugs, vitamins, and minerals to infants before the age of 6 months. Exclusive breastfeeding for infants is seen to prevent and cure stunting and other forms of malnutrition. Primary Health Care (PHC) Margorejo is the health center with the lowest exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Pati Regency in 2017 and 2018. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors related to the behavior of non-exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of the PHC Margorejo in Pati Regency. This study uses a case control method. The research sample consisted of 70 consisting of 35 cases and 35 controls. The research targets were mothers who have 6-11 months old infants in the working area of the PHC Margorejo. Bivariate analysis showed a low level of maternal knowledge (p = 0.008), negative maternal attitudes (p = 0.022), and the absence of support from health workers (p = 0.002) related to non-exclusive breastfeeding behavior. Low level knowledge of mothers, negative attitude of mothers, and the absence of support from health workers are all factors related to the behavior of non-exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of PHC Margorejo in Pati Regency.

Abstract Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 has continued to threaten the existence of human race. The novelty and unstable epidemiologic pattern of the virus had generated so much concern among the global health experts. These concerns were found to be escalated among frontline health care workers to the extent of impeding the timeliness of the response activities. To slow down the spread of the already established community transmission through the surveillance activities, the concern of the health workers at the community level needs to be addressed. Therefore, this study assessed the concern about COVID-19 pandemic among the primary health workers in Oyo State, Nigeria.MethodsThis was an online cross-sectional survey conducted among primary health care workers in Oyo State between March and April 2020. Using a two-stage sampling technique, we recruited 284 respondents. A semi-structured questionnaire linked to the Google form was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25; bivariate analysis was done using Chi-square and binary logistic regression was used to identify the predictors of health workers’ concern at 5% level of significance.ResultsThe mean age of respondents was 45.0 + 9.0 years. About 52.5% had goodk knowledge of COVID-19. In the domains of concern, 66.9%, 53.2%, 51.4%, and 46.5% of the respondents expressed government-related concern, self-satisfaction related concern, work-related concern and social status related concern respectively. Male respondents were less likely to express concern about COVID-19 compared with their female counterparts (aOR= 0.39, 95% CI = 0.20 – 0.76). Nurses/midwives (aOR= 0.21, 95% CI = 0.05 – 0.85) had lesser likelihood of expressing concern about COVID-19 while middle staff (aOR= 2.5, 95% CI = 1.18 – 5.39) and income earner of ≥ N200, 000 (aOR= 2.3, 95% CI = 1.34 – 3.92) had higher likelihood of expressing concern about COVID-19.ConclusionThe study revealed an average knowledge of COVID-19 among the respondents. Government-related and self-satisfaction related concerns were majorly expressed by the majority of the PHC workers. Therefore, holistic policy that addresses the welfare and training of the HCWs is recommended.

Primary Health Care Facilities

To ascertain the frequency of mental disorders in Sudan, Philippines, India, and Colombia, 925 children attending primary health care facilities were studied. Rates of between 12% and 29% were found in the four study areas. The range of mental disorders diagnosed was similar to that encountered in industrialized countries. The research procedure involved a two-stage screening in which a ten-item "reporting questionnaire" constituted the first stage. The study has shown that mental disorders are common among children attending primary health care facilities in four developing countries and that accompanying adults (usually the mothers) readily recognize and report common psychologic and behavioral symptoms when these are solicited by means of a simple set of questions. Despite this, the primary health workers themselves recognized only between 10% and 22% of the cases of mental disorder. The results have been used to design appropriate brief training courses in childhood mental disorders for primary health workers in the countries participating in the study.

A low level of computerization of primary and secondary health care and a higher level in tertiary health care is shown. At the same time a low level of Internet access in primary health care institutions and much higher - in institutions of secondary and tertiary levels of health care is shown. The current level of informatization does not allow health care institutions to implement an effective system of communication in healthcare.
