Abstract: Breast cancer is one of the most important health problems facing women today. Breast cancer is known to be the second leading cause of cancer deaths after lung cancer in Saudi Arabia. Worldwide, breast cancer is the third most frequent cancer in the world and the leading cause of cancer mortality in women. Saudi Arabia is a country that provides free healthcare services, but the rates of breast cancer screening are very low. This contradiction between the availability of free healthcare services and Saudi women not utilizing these services necessitates an in-depth understanding of the health-related beliefs and obstacles towards breast cancer screening among women. In this study, the researcher assessed the relationship between self-breast examination behaviors and health belief model, variables were investigated using an analytical cross-sectional study and convenience sample of Shaqra university female students (400) by the Self-administered survey, Breast cancer awareness measure, and Champion health belief model. The scale measured the self-breast examination behaviors in relation to the health belief model. Correlational statistics were used to determine the relationships. The study revealed that there was a high percentage of female university students that had unsatisfactory knowledge, negative attitudes, and poor practice regarding the self-breast examination. The study recommended that breast cancer awareness programs should be conducted in Shaqra university on a regular basis and should focus on removing perceived obstacles to screening and enhancing self-efficacy among female students. Policymakers should integrate breast cancer awareness programs in the routine programs provided in all hospitals and healthcare centers.

Abstract: Healthcare is viewed as a service provided by health workers in order to satiate the pressing health needs of a population. It is however, difficult and in extreme cases, impossible to achieve this without an adequate supply of the health workforce as health cannot exist without a workforce.

This dissertation focuses on a branch of Nigeria’s health workforce called the nursing auxiliaries otherwise known as health care assistants (HCAs), nursing assistants and nursing aides. Nigeria was chosen because it is the writer’s country and based on observed evidences, literature and anecdotes, auxiliaries in Nigeria lack training despite the fact that they work in mainly private hospitals where they are substituted for nurses, performing simple to complex roles.

A critical realist review is therefore applied in this paper to explore what the roles and training needs of nursing auxiliaries in Nigeria should be, identify their relevance in the health sector and make recommendations for future service improvement and advancement in nursing practice in the Nigerian as well as the universal health system.

These aims will be achieved through extensive search of relevant literature, policies and theories while comparing practices in different countries and drawing on exemplary strategies adopted by countries in the training of HCAs. Personal, educational and professional experiences have also contributed to the dissertation process.

The paper concludes with the dissertation achievements which include recommendations for a training programme for nursing auxiliaries in Nigeria, some preliminary plans on the project implementation and suggestions on maintenance of healthcare practices through regular monitoring and supervision. 

An adequate supply of appropriately educated and motivated health care workers is therefore, needed in a population to promote and maintain a high quality of health.

Abstract: Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, smoking killed more than 8 million people each year, about 80% in low- and middle-income countries such as Nigeria, now it has become a public health problem. This study assessed the prevalence cigarette smoking among youths (18-29) years in Ikperejere community, Ihitte/Uboma LGA Imo State. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 348 young adults in the rural community and data was collected using interviewer administered questionnaire. The study showed that about half 145(44.8%) of the respondents have smoked cigarette and majority 68(46.3%) of the respondent who had ever smoked, reported smoking their first cigarette at 16-22 years of age, followed by 52(35.4%) at 10-15 years and 27(18.4%) at 21-29 years of age. The male gender significantly increased the likelihood of smoking by 5.1 times (95% C.I: 3.0 – 8.6). The history of smoking in parent also increased the likelihood of smoking by 1.8 times (95% C.I: 1.1 – 2.8) and friends that smoke increased the likelihood of smoking by 3.4 times (95% C.I: 2.1 – 5.4). It is imperative that measures should be employed to discourage the rate of smoking and relevant interventions should be created to counteract the factors that increases the likelihood of smoking among young adults. Hence, health education is vital to make these changes among young adults.

Abstract: Customers are often forced to wait in line whenever the service facility is busy. However, too much waiting in line causes inconvenience to customers and economic costs to firms. Queuing theory is a mathematical approach for analysing waiting lines (queues). The effect of queuing in relation to the time spent by customers to access services is increasingly becoming a major source of concern. Moreover, For the reason that keeping customers waiting too long involves excessive cost to them (waiting cost). Providing too much service capacity to operate a system involves excessive cost. But not providing enough service capacity results in excessive causes the waiting line to become excessively long. The ultimate goal is to provide an economic balance between the cost of service and the cost associated with the waiting for that service. The objective of this paper is to examine the queuing congestion in Danjalele Enterprise, Funtua, and develop a suitable queuing model for the system. The study concludes that an alternate model may be more efficient when compared with the existing one. The paper recommends that the management of the Enterprise should adopt a multi-server model as this will further attract potential customers to patronize the products and thereby increasing their satisfaction.

Abstract: The impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 is related to the immune system and acts indirectly via various routes, which reflects the pathological nature of the virus’s invasion of the respiratory tract via mucous membranes. Because of this intricate and indirect effect, and because of multi-drug treatments and intensive therapies, it is thought that Coronavirus Disease 2019 could aggravate some oral conditions, especially those with autoimmune aetiology, which have been linked to a long-term pharmacotherapy or a compromised immune system. Objective: This review aims to draw attention to the impacts of Coronavirus Disease 2019 on oral health and advance dental healthcare workers’ knowledge. Method: The PubMed Medline database was used to explore original research articles published in English language in the timeframe 2019–2021. Result: It evaluates the effects of Coronavirus Disease 2019 on oral health. Conclusion: This review article illustrates that patients who have survived the adverse oral effects of Coronavirus Disease 2019 and its treatments may have lasting symptoms that require further care.

Abstract: Constipation is a common complication in patients with cancer. Whilst the standardized clinical guidelines are established to be implemented in the different settings, still the implementation of these guidelines are unclear and scanty researches were conducted.

Aim: Summarize evidences related to constipation management in adult patients with cancer. Method: A systematic review search of Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science was conducted. English language articles about the prevalence, risk factors, non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic measures for constipation in cancer patients were included. 

Results: Initial search retrieved a total of 157 articles. After screening 88 were refined. Another screening was done to include only articles meet the inclusion criteria. A total of 29 full text articles were identified as eligible articles. A final list of 20 articles was decided to be included in the analysis.

Conclusion: Extraordinary prevalence of constipation remained observed among patients with cancer. Subcutaneous injection of Methylnaltrexone is effective in management of constipation for cancer patients and enema is contraindicated for certain conditions.Advanced practitioners such as specialist nurses and clinicians should establish a standardized bowel protocol including preventive and non-pharmacological guidelines to be implemented in the practice settings.

Abstract: Colostomy is not a disease, but a change in the approach body works that alters normal passage of elimination. It is a life-saving procedure and the corner stone for treatment of many gastrointestinal disorders. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common cause of colostomy. Nursing assessment for colostomy patients’ knowledge and self-efficacy should be done to investigate, identify and specify their needs and stoma care self-efficacy to help in putting the plan of care effectively based on their needs and to help those patients to cope with their problems which may be raised. Objective: Assess the knowledge and self-efficacy among patients with colostomy. Setting: This study was conducted at Alexandria Main University Hospital in the following settings: Colorectal Surgical Outpatient, Gastrointestinal Surgical Outpatient and Oncology Surgical Outpatient Clinics, Colorectal Surgical, Gastrointestinal Surgical and Oncology Surgical Units  Subjects: A convenient sample of 60 adult patients. Tools: Two tools were used. Tool I: Knowledge of Patients with colostomy Structured Interview Schedule. Tool II: Stoma care self-efficacy Scale.  Results: the study revealed that the majority (81.7%) of the studied patients had poor knowledge level, while 13.3% % of them had fair knowledge level and only 5% of them had good knowledge level. Whereas, it was found that more than two-thirds of the studied patients (68.3%) had low self-efficacy, while less than one-third (30.7%) of them had high self-efficacy. There was a statistically significant strong positive correlation between patients’ overall knowledge mean percent score and overall self-efficacy mean percent score (p< 0.001). Also it was noticed that there was a statistical significant relation between patients' overall knowledge level and age (p = 0.001), gender (p = 0.046) educational level (p = p=0.008), previous training on stoma care (p> 0.005). It was revealed that; there was statistically significance relation between overall patients' self-efficacy level and age (p = 0.011), educational level (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Patients' knowledge and self-efficacy regarding colostomy was noticed to be poor knowledge and low self-efficacy. Recommendations: Developing and implementing educational programs for patients with colostomy in order to improve their knowledge and self-efficacy regarding colostomy care, involving family and caregivers who participate in colostomy patient’s care.
