Background The partograph is a graphic record of labour progress, and maternal and fetal condition, which was introduced to detect preventable maternal complications during parturition. It is plotted against time for intrapartum monitoring. There is a difference in how widely the modified partograph is used to monitor labour among health workers in primary healthcare across different countries, according to the World Health Organization. This study assessed primary healthcare workers' knowledge of how to use the partograph for labour monitoring in Ibadan, Nigeria. Methods The study used a cross-sectional descriptive survey to recruit 136 purposively selected respondents. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered for data collection. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23. Hypotheses were tested using the Chi-square test and logistic regression at P<0.05 significance. Results The majority of respondents reportedly had good knowledge of how to use the partograph (72%) but did not use it when monitoring labour (82.4%). The odds of using a partograph was four times more likely in participants with good knowledge (odds ratio=3.61, P<0.000). Conclusions There is a need for collaboration across all tiers of government with the National Primary Health Development Agency to develop and implement health policies that will encourage the utilisation of a partograph for monitoring labour.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that every year 13 million babies are born prematurely worldwide and one million babies die. The results of the 2013 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) showed that 32.4% of infant deaths aged 0-6 days were caused by prematurity. Premature incidence in Padangsidimpuan City Hospital continues to increase from 2011-2014. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and history of disease with premature birth at the Padangsidimpuan City General Hospital. This type of research is an analytic study with a cross sectional approach. The population was all mothers who gave birth prematurely and not prematurely at the Padangsidimpuan City Hospital. The sample in this study was the entire population of 92 people. The sample in this study amounted to 92 people. Data were collected through medical records and interviews using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate using Chi-Square test at 95% confidence level (P < 0.05). The results showed that there was a relationship between medical history (p= 0.0001) and preterm birth, while the knowledge variable (p=0.061) was not related to preterm birth. It is recommended for health workers to further optimize health services by conducting antenatal care examinations according to standards to determine blood pressure, Hb levels, blood glucose in the prevention of preeclampsia, anemia, diabetes mellitus which can be at risk of prematurity. Padangsidimpuan City Hospital is expected to improve health counseling to mothers about a good age for pregnancy and childbirth, namely at the age of 20-34 years.

Relevant personal protective measures during the COVID-19 pandemic include face masks, possibly decreasing the risk of infection among the general population and healthcare workers (HCW) if utilized properly. The aim of the study was to assess whether different Polish HCW utilize face masks according to the 2020 World Health Organization guidance (WHO) criteria. This cross-sectional study included 1156 respondents who participated in an internet survey evaluating mask-related behaviors. All the WHO criteria were complied with by 1.4% of participants, regardless of medical profession, specialty or place of employment. HCW mostly adhered to criterion 1 (C1; strict covering of the face and mouth with the mask; 90.8%), C4 (washing/disinfecting the hands after touching/taking off the mask; 49%) and C3 (taking off the mask properly without touching the anterior surface; 43.4%), whereas C2 (avoidance of touching the mask with hands) was complied with least commonly (6.8%). HCW with mask-induced itch (31.6%) complied to C2 less often (odds ratio 0.53; p = 0.01). The study reveals that Polish HCW rarely adhere to all the 2020 WHO guidance criteria on the use of masks, whereas the adherence to particular criteria is variable and may be associated with the presence of skin-related conditions and other factors. Better compliance with the recommendations in the future is necessary to increase personal safety of HCW and prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Background: The world health organization (WHO) estimates that every 45 seconds an African child dies of malaria while several others lay ill. Also, studies have shown that home-based management of malaria could improve prompt access to antimalarial medications for African children. Objective: This study aimed at assessing the home based management practices among care givers of children below five years in Delta State. Methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional survey used to assess the home based management practices of malaria in children under age five. 459 consenting Caregivers of children under five (6 to 59 months) were purposively selected from different churches during Sundays and Wednesdays midweek services through balloting from two communities in Central and North Senatorial Districts of Delta State (Oghara and Obiaruku). Prior to the commencement of the study, the caregivers were thoroughly counselled on the objectives of the study, and a pretested structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used for administration in English, Urhobo and Ukwuani languages.
