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.

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.

Background: Siwak or miswak is obtained from the branches and stems of the Salvadora persica plant that grows in the Middle Eastern plains and commonly used as a toothbrush to clean teeth and gingival structures. Miswak contains natural antibacterial acids (astringents, abrasives and detergents) which function to kill bacteria, prevent infection and stop bleeding in the gum. Chemical substances such as Chloride, Pottasium, Sodium Bicarbonate, Fluoride, Silica, Sulfur, Vitamin C, Trimethylamine, Salvadorine, and Tannins which function to clean teeth, whiten and nourish teeth and gingiva. How to brush your teeth has an effect on reducing or removing plaque. Efforts to clean plaque can be done by brushing your teeth. Brushing your teeth using a toothbrush is a form of mechanical removal of plaque. It can be done through several methods, including the method of Bass, Stillman, Fones, and adapted to the movements named Vertical and Horizontal. The bass method is a tooth brushing technique that is done by placing a 45-degree toothbrush on the root of the tooth and then gently pressing it while doing a small rotating motion. The tip of the toothbrush is directed to the gingival neck. The bass method is more effective for removing plaque around and below the edge of the gingiva. Controlled movements are used to get rid of plaque and avoid trauma to the gingiva. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the comparison of plaque scores between brushing tooth with traditional (Miswak) and bass methods on students of the Pondok Pesantren Darul Hijrah Putera Banjarbaru. Method: This study used the Quasi experimental research method with Pre and Post-test. Results: The results of statistical tests using the non-parametric test of the Man Whitney test showed a value of p = 0,000 (p ≤ 0,05), the results showed that there were significant differences between the plaque scores before and after the tooth brushing treatment with the miswak and bass method. Conclusion: The bass method group has a lower plaque score than the miswak group.

Writing is a complex activity that requires the automation of graphomotor skills. Unfortunately, 10 to 30% of primary school students have difficulty at this level, which impairs the development of writing skills. It therefore seems judicious to intervene in kindergarten to support motor precision as well as visuomotor capacities, considered as prerequisites for writing by many researchers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of motor training on visuomotor integration, motor precision and handwriting performance (speed and readability) in 5-year-old children. According to a quasi-experimental design (pretest, post-test with control group), 34 children participated in an intervention in subgroups, twice a week for 6 weeks. The mean and standard deviation were calculated for each of the tasks performed. Statistical tests (t test) were then carried out. The results show that the children in the experimental group improved their motor precision as well as their graphomotor skills compared to those in the control group. This project provides new insights into the benefits of working on basic skills in preparation for learning to write and will equip teachers on how to guide and support graphomotor skills before entering first grade.

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
