Validation of a Yoruba interpretation of a Genetic Counselling Manual adapted from the University of Chicago Hospital, Cancer Risk Clinic. This study involves interpreting an existing manual for nurses as an album in counselling cancer patients in the local dialect.
This R25 grant seeks support for the strengthening of an indigenous interprofessional Association, The African Forum for Research and Education for Health (AFRhealth), through, building squarely upon the highly productive experience and achievements of the Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and Nursing Education Partnership Initiative (NEPI). AFREhealth has the potential to catalyze the formation of a strong, stable, and sustainable pan-African inter-professional movement.
Role: Principal Investigator
Collaborators
Completed Research
1. 2002. Co-Investigator, Force-Feeding Practice in Aiyedire Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. Forced Feeding Practice and Infant Health in a Rural Community of Osun State: This project was funded by the Culture and Health Project of the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), United States of America. It was aimed at investigating the practice of forced feeding in child health care in rural communities of Osun State. The project was executed between 2002 and 2003 and was successful as it contributed to the cessation of the practice in the environment.
2. 2004. Principal Investigator (Nigeria) with other investigators from Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Namibia, and Egypt. A grant from Ford Foundation through Panos Institute, Southern Africa. I was the Nigerian researcher on this multi-site study of the assessment and implementation of HIV/AIDS prevention activities by Ford grantee organizations. A project on Analysis of Community and other responses to HIV and AIDS in Africa. My contribution as a Nigerian Social Science researcher with a nursing background, therefore, was to determine the impact of the various activities of the selected organizations on the people at the grass root levels. My findings in the qualitative study showcased this and formed the basis upon which the Nigerian part of the international technical report was written.
3. 2003-2008. Resource Person and Team Leader. The Effects of Peer Education Training on Reproductive Health Knowledge and sexual Behaviour of Youth Corp Members in Nigeria. A grant from UNICEF and NYSC.
This study assessed the effectiveness of peer education on the reproductive health knowledge and behaviour of youths during the Youth Service Corps in Nigeria. It consisted of a baseline survey of all serving Youth Corpers at the NYSC Orientation Camps of the selected states. The Surveys were followed by an awareness and sensitization seminar. After which, a convenience sampling of consenting 100 Youth Corpers was selected for a 6-day intervention, (an intensive educational training on HIV and Reproductive Health Issues) from each batch. Following this, a post-test was conducted. This project lasted 5 years in selected southwestern Nigerian states: Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, and Ekiti. Three years into the program, 4 peer educators from each state were selected for voluntary confidential counselling and testing training for which I was the principal investigator and team leader. Findings showed that although the level of awareness at the pre-intervention stage was low, it drastically increased post-intervention. Besides, there were behaviour modification strategies reported by the Youth Corps members. Data were submitted to UNICEF and NYSC for the national report.
4. 2009 – 2010. Principal Investigator. Evaluation of Nurses’ Interventions toward Pressure Ulcer Prevention in University College Hospital, (UCH) Ibadan. Globally, maintaining skin integrity and preventing pressure ulcers (PUs) have traditionally been the responsibility of nurses when caring for hospitalized patients. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the outcome of a clinical debriefing done after a previous study carried out in 2008 on the evaluation of nurses’ activities aimed at preventing pressure ulcers (PUs) in University College Hospital. In the previous study, various activities that nurses embarked upon toward pressure ulcer prevention were examined while the follow-up study focused on the use of water-filled gloves in preventing heel pressure ulcers in the same setting. My contribution to knowledge here is that my findings provided insight into nurses’ deleterious activities in preventing pressure sores in UCH and served as a preliminary study to follow-up studies, which went a long way in stopping those harmful practices.
5. 2011-2012. Principal Investigator. Training of health workers in the University College Hospital on the use of monofilament for foot screening. This was a selective study for a sponsored wound care course in South Africa. It was a foot care part of general wound care with the main aim of providing health care workers including nurses, physiotherapists, and doctors with information about the novel tool of 10g monofilament for early detection of peripheral neuropathy among diabetic patients. It was a descriptive cross-sectional survey, including a pre-training test, an interventional training education, and a post-training test. The overall mean knowledge score of the respondents in the pre-training test was 56.8±10.8 (15.2 – 75.8) while for the post-training test it was 77.0±7.9 (51.5 – 92.4). The project was a selective phase of the International Interdisciplinary Wound Care Course at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. A total of 91 health workers (Nurses, Doctors, and Physiotherapists) were trained and it was selected as the best for an award. It provided a basis for a later study among diabetic patients, which proved very useful in exposing them to at least once-a-year screening in detecting early signs of peripheral neuropathy and other complications to forestall lower limb amputations.
6. 2012-2014 Co-Investigator. Postdoctoral fellowship Project on the integration of Standardized Nursing Languages into Nursing Practice in Teaching Hospitals. Projects were supported by the Continuing Education Units, Clinical Nursing Departments, and the Hospital Management of each hospital. This research explored the challenges of nurses in utilizing the nursing process which is the universal tool for delivering comprehensive nursing care, gaps in knowledge regarding the novel standardized nursing knowledge was evaluated and intervention to improve nurses’ capacity building via the in-service continuing education units of the selected hospitals was carried out. In UCH, two hundred and fifty nurses were trained in the use of standardized nursing languages between January and November 2012. The subsequent phase was a week intensive annual clinical nursing workshop for nurses from UCH, Oyo state, OSUTH, Ogun state, OAUTH, Osun state, UNILORIN Teaching Hospital, Kwara state, and UATH, Abuja. This has brought positive changes into nursing practice in the area of nursing process generally and standardized nursing languages specifically with much emphasis on nursing assessment for improved quality in patient care. Also, an African arm of the NANDA International organization was established in Nigeria and the second international conference with foreign delegates was held at the University of Ibadan in 2014 through my efforts and that of my collaborator in OAU.
7. 2014-2016. Principal Investigator. Effects of Genetic Nursing Education on Nurses’ competencies in Counselling people with a family history of Cancer in selected Teaching Hospitals in Southwest Nigeria. The study includes training 192 nurses from University College Hospital clinics, wards, schools, and units where cancer patients receive care. Fund from NIH. Through my contribution to knowledge in this area, a paradigm shift was brought into oncology nursing with genetic testing introduced into patient care at University College Hospital (UCH), Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), and Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), while plans are on to extend to Federal Medical Center (FMC), Abeokuta, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTHC), and other countries outside Nigeria in 2022.
8. 2017 -2018. D71 Planning Grant. Co-Investigator. Addressing NCDs in Nigeria through Enhanced and International Partnership and Interdisciplinary Research Training in Nigeria. NIH
9. 2020 - (July to December 2020). WHO COVID-19 Preparedness and Response project among Nurses and Midwives in 8 selected African countries. A Consultant in the WHO Funded Project.
