Background: Community pharmacists (CPs) are key providers of basic healthcare in communities, and barriers that may hinder enormous results in their role during the COVID-19 pandemic should be addressed. We conducted a training on the strategies for strengthening the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) among CPs. Methods: Participants were 31 CPs in Ilorin, Kwara State. A quasi-experimental, before-and-after study was carried out. Data were captured using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire had three sections; the first contained sociodemographic characteristics such as sex, age, and years of practice. The second section contained eight questions used to assess the knowledge of the respondents, each was assigned a score of “1” and the total obtainable score was “8”. The third section identified the role of CPs in the prevention of COVID-19. Results: The mean age of the 31 CPs who participated in the training was 49.5 ± 13.7 years, and 18 (58.1%) were males. The mean pre-test IPC training score was 4.968±1.329, while the mean post-test IPC training score was 5.323±1.077, (t=-1.611, p=0.118). All respondents identified that CPs had roles in the prevention of COVID-19. Among them, 27 (87.1%) identified community health awareness campaigns as their main role in the prevention of COVID-19. Regarding years of practice, 6 (35.3%) respondents with less than 20 years had COVID-19 IPC knowledge gain compared to 10 (71.4%) others with more than 20 and above years of practice (P=0.04). Conclusion: The training achieved its short-term objective. There is a need to for supervisory visits on the CPs at their place of practice to ensure knowledge acquired is put to the best use.

Patent Medicine

Objective: This report aimed to determine the immediate effect of the IPC training on the knowledge and role of patent medicine vendors (PMV) in the COVID-19 outbreak response in Nigeria. Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental study before and after the IPC training among 1076 PMV in Ilorin, Kwara state, Nigeria. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 23. Eight questions were asked, for which each was assigned a score of “1”. Participants who had scored<50% were categorized as “Fail”, while those with scores ≥50% were categorized as “Pass” in both the pre and post-tests. The Chi-square test was used to test for the association between sociodemographic characteristics and performance of respondents in the pre-and post-IPC knowledge results, and paired t-test to test for significant differences between the pre and post-tests mean scores. The level of significance was set at p<0.05 for all statistical tests. Results: The mean age of the 1076 respondents was 37.06±10.96, 463(43%) passed the pre-test, while 617 (57.3%) passed the post-test. The mean pre-test IPC training score was 3.1310±1.5631, while the mean post-test IPC training score was 3.7351±1.6028 (t=-11.337, p=<0.001). In all, 617(57.3%) scored higher in posttest. Overall, 560 (92.41%) identified community sensitization and health education on COVID-19 preventive measures as roles of PMV. Conclusion: Regular trainings on COVID-19 preventive practices among PMV should be conducted. PMV should be empowered to sensitize and educate their clients on the prevention of COVID-19.

Pain is an integral part of labor and childbirth which is normal due to physiological and psychological factors. Labor pain can affect uterine contractions through secretion of catecholamine and cortisol levels which increase sympathetic nervous system activity, changes in blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and consequently affect labor duration. This study aims to determine the effect of warm compresses on the intensity of labor in the first phase of active labor. The design of this study was quasi-experimental with one group pre-test and post-test design. The population in this study were all labor women at BPM Tri Rahayu Setyaningsih Sleman, with incidental sampling techniques and 18 samples were obtained. A compress was carried out in the lower abdomen using hot bladders. Data analysis using Paired T test. Based on the research results obtained, the mean pain score before treatment was 8.66 and the mean pain score after treatment was 5.83. The results of statistical analysis of different pain intensity tests before and after treatment showed a significant difference (p = 0,000; 95% CI -3,352 - (- 2,314). This shows that warm compresses can reduce the intensity of pain in labor during the active phase. warmth can be used as one way to reduce the intensity of labor pain

The Impact

Pangandaran is a popular tourism destination in West Java, which is annually visited by a high number of foreign and domestic tourists. It has set itself the vision of gaining the title ‘Healthy Village’. However, Pangandaran beach is still fighting the problem of waste, which is easily found along the coast. Thus, disease is mushrooming due to the lack of a Clean Lifestyle (Perilaku Hidup Bersih Sehat/PHBS) and the low awareness of PHBS in the Pangandaran local community. The efforts undertaken to overcome the problem of infectious disease due to the lack of PHBS require great support from various parties such as health service centres and via community participation and the role of cadres, who also manage the Community Health Centres (Pos Pelayanan Terpadu/Posyandu). The study aims to determine the effect of the health promotion of PHBS on the attitude, motivation, and behaviour of the health cadres. The study was quasi-experimental, involving a pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted in Pangandaran Village, Pangandaran Regency. This research involved the health cadres because they are the closest person to the community and they also run a health program. In addition, they are reliable people when it comes to overcoming health problems in the community. The total population of health cadres in Pangandaran Village amounted to 28 people, via total sampling. The instruments used in this study included a questionnaire, observation sheet, and a checklist. The data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis. The result showed that the mean score of attitude ranged from 65.11 to 74.71 (p = 0,000), the mean score of motivation was 37.39 to 40.71 (p = 0,000), the mean score of genital hygiene behaviour was 67.96 to 80.61 (p = 0,000) and the mean score of the behaviour of CTPS was significant at 32.25 to 35.71 (p = 0,000). This study found there to be significant difference in the mean attitude, motivation and behaviour of the health cadres before and after the intervention period.
