Number of cases schizophrenia in the work area of the Ponre Health Center there were 95 cases. There were 30 people who experienced hallucinations. The most common hallucinations were hearing, 22 people and the remaining 8 people experienced visual hallucinations. Families who have family members who experience hallucinations often don’t receive adequate attention and care due to the lack of family knowledge in caring for family members who experience hallucinations and the impacts that arise if hallucinations aren’t handled properly. This research is research pre-experimental quantitative with approach one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample in this study was 30 family members using total sampling. Be found the influence of health education and the media booklet on family knowledge about treating patients with auditory and visual hallucinations at the Ponre Community Health Center with a P value <α (0.000 <0.05), tested by test marginal homogeneity wilcoxon. There is an influence of providing health education interventions the media booklet in increasing family knowledge about treating patients with auditory and visual hallucinations at the Ponre Community Health Center. Research suggestions can be a valuable guide in encouraging the use of health education to increase family understanding regarding caring for patients with auditory and visual hallucinations.

Background: Demographic factors (i.e. employment) can be risk factors for female sexual dysfunction, while impaired sexual function can affect self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, so that sexual function may be influenced by the type of work a woman does. Objective: This study was intended to assess the comparison of sexual dysfunction in married women of reproductive age who have different careers. Materials and Methods: There were 214 respondents who met the inclusion criteria, 75 unemployed housewives, 68 teachers, and 71 nurses. Respondents' sexual function was measured using the FSFI questionnaire developed by Rosen et al., in 2000, which consisted of 19 questions covering six domains of sexual function, namely desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. Results: The mean total FSFI scores of housewives, teachers, and nurses were 25.88, 25.15, and 25.14, respectively. All housewives (100%), 66.2% of teachers, and 81.7% of nurses experienced desire disorders. Arousal disorders were experienced by 81.3% of housewives, 83.1% of teachers, and 66.2% of nurses. Housewives, teachers, and nurses with vaginal lubrication disorders were 61.3%, 86.2%, and 66.2%, respectively. There were 40% of teachers, 53.8% of teachers, and 54.9% of nurses who failed to achieve orgasm. The levels of satisfaction felt by housewives, teachers, and nurses in sexual intercourse were 88.0%, 44.7%, and 57.7%, respectively. Meanwhile, vaginal pain was felt by 48% of housewives, 53.8% of teachers, and 66.2% of nurses. Conclusion: Differences in careers of married women of reproductive age do not significantly differentiate the sexual dysfunction they suffer from.

Bodily changes after mastectomy cause psychological disturbances as well as impacts negatively on the self-image of women. This study analysed and compared changes in self-image pre- and post-mastectomy among women with breast cancer in selected hospitals in Southwest Nigeria. A descriptive exploratory design was adopted; purposive sampling was used to select 56 women aged between 18-70 years diagnosed with breast cancer who subsequently had a mastectomy. The study was conducted at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, and Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile Ife. Data was collected using two instruments. These were the Breast Impact of Treatment Scale (BITS) and the Situational Discomfort Scale (SDS. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20 using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings showed that pre-operative self-image scores of respondents ranged from 2 to 39, with a mean of 13.68 ±5.74. None of them had severe distress, however, 77.3% had mild distress; and 22.7 % had moderate distress. During post-mastectomy, the scores ranged from 11 to 62 with a mean of 43.29 ± 5.50. None of the respondents had mild distress but 89.8 % had severe distress while the rest had moderate distress. The study found a significant difference between pre- and post-mastectomy self-image, the pre-operative mean score was 13.68, while the post-mastectomy mean score was 43.26 at p =0.0001, with a t value of -24.78. This study concluded that, while the respondents had mild self-image distress before mastectomy, severe distress was attributed to post-mastectomy periods.

Background: The burden of Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) has been on the increase in Nigeria. First-Aid (FA) service is one of the key measures for reducing RTA-related injuries and complications. Information about factors, which could influence FA response by residents of communities along major highways in Nigeria, is insufficient. Objective: This study aims to examine factors influencing FA assistance to accident victims and action taken by residents of selected communities along Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey conducted in six randomly selected communities along Ogun state axis of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. A three-stage sampling technique was used to select 599 consenting respondents from the communities based on proportionate population. An interviewer- administer- questionnaire containing questions on awareness of FA, actions taken when accidents occurred, A 16-point FA knowledge scale was used to collect the data. Knowledge scores of ≤ 10 and ≥11were rated as poor and good respectively. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and ANOVA. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Result: Majority (79.1%) of the respondents had ever witnessed an accident along the expressway and 46.7% had ever assisted accident victims. Overall mean knowledge score was 6.0 ± 2.0 with 95.2% of respondents showing poor knowledge of FA. Factors which cause delay in conveying accidents victim to the hospital included: fear of negative reactions from the police (24.0%); traffic congestion (18.5%) and lack of vehicle (16.2%). Conclusion: There was poor knowledge of First Aid. Logistics problems are the main barriers to the provision of First Aid services to accident victims on the expressway. Sensitization and training related to First Aid should be instituted at the community level.

The concept of Quwat Tabiya, originating from traditional Unani System of medicine, refers to the innate healing power within the body. This natural force is believed to maintain health and combat disease when in balance. In this paper, we explore the significance of Quwat Tabiya in both health and disease contexts, examining its role in traditional healing practices and its relevance in modern medical understanding. Through an analysis of historical perspectives and contemporary research, we aim to shed light on the intricate interplay between Quwat Tabiya and overall well-being.

This study explored the attitudes and knowledge of rural women aged 45-50 regarding menopause and its management, focusing on how healthcare access and social support impact these perspectives. Using purposive sampling and structured questionnaires, data were collected from participants to assess their understanding and experiences with menopause. Results indicated that 58.41% of the women had a positive attitude towards menopause, while 41.62% held a negative view. Nearly half of the participants (47.75%) possessed adequate knowledge about menopause, with 52.25% lacking sufficient understanding. Healthcare access was available to 84.57% of the participants, suggesting that most women had access to medical resources, though only 22.73% felt they had a strong support network for discussing menopause-related issues. These findings highlight a need for more robust educational resources and social support structures to improve knowledge and foster positive attitudes toward menopause management among rural women.
