- Africa stem from the lack of an appropriate psychodynamic theory ori which to base the technique used. He suggested and experimented with the use of cosmologies (world view) native to the culture (e.g. - the Yoruba Ayanmo myth) in psychodynamic elaborations in therapy. Ohaeri (1989) believed that work along the lines suggested by Morakinyo (1982) be encouraged, but opined that the current socio-economic and cultural changes in Nigeria make it imperative to examine the need for formalized psychotherapy in the contemporary Nigeria. In view of the above coupled with the felt needs of the teaming number of oncology patients at the Cancer Registry of the University College Hospital (U.C.H.), Ibadan, the Lola Marinho Psycho-oncology Counselling Clinic (LMPOC2) was established in July 1992. The clinic now runs a formal psychotherapy programme. With the increased availability of modern methods for diagnosis and the treatment of cancer, our experience has shown that many more cases of cancer now report in hospitals in Nigeria, in particular, at the Radio-therapy Centre of the University College Hospital (U.C.H.), Ibadan, which is the only functioning radio-therapy centre in West Africa sub-region for now. This has offered us the opportunity to enquire into aspects of psycho-oncology. Our goals in this clinic are: 1. to assist the patients and heir family members in becoming more knowledgeable about the disease by providing them with all necessary information. 2. to give support by providing continuity of care. 3. to teach the patients and their family members the necessary skills to cope with the stress of living with cancer. It is an eight session progressive course, which we have developed and used for hundreds of patients at the Lola Marinho Psycho-oncology Counselling Clinic (LMPOC2). The programme is intended for people living with cancer who want to help themselves cope with and combat their disease. It is also meant for those who wish to conduct group teaching skills for people living with cancer and their family members. The paper deals with the efficacy of psychotherapy in improving the quality of life of oncology patients in Nigeria, judging from our experience with our clients at the Lola Marinho Psycho-oncology Counselling Clinic (LMPOC2) of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. The findings pose great challenges to all categories of health care providers, especially Nigerian psychologists 1 results 1
- Background and objective: Oncology nursing is a recognized nursing specialty globally but it is yet to be a stand-alone specialty in any accredited degree awarding tertiary institution in Nigeria as at the time of this write up. In most of the hospitals in Nigeria, non-specialist oncology nurses who learn on the job care for the cancer patients. Hence, the urgent need to conduct this study, which aimed to examine the state of oncology nursing training and practice in Nigeria. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was used to assess 171 nurses’ socio-demographic data, nature of their oncology training, and competency level using a semi-structured questionnaire. Results: Only 3 (1.8%) of the respondents claimed they had a degree in oncology nursing and 89.9% had no formal training in oncology. Few of the respondents (13.5%) rated themselves as experts in oncology nursing practice. Majority of the respondents see the state of oncology nursing practice as very poor with the major challenge being none availability of oncology nursing training institution. Conclusions and implication for study: With the increasing prevalence of cancer in Nigeria and rise in number of new cases daily, there is need for an established programme to train health care professionals especially nurses to combat its increasing rate. There is need for provision of oncology nurse specialist training to improve level of education and skills in order to offer appropriate care to clients living with cancer and improve patient’s outcome of survival ultimately enhancing their quality of life. 1 results 1
- Background:The Clinical Microbiology laboratory is expected to adequately measure and monitor its performance by actively and routinely soliciting from its clients their level of satisfaction with services received and use the information to develop processes that meet customer’s needs. This survey was done in order to objectively identify some of the challenges faced by laboratory end users in Nigeria with a view to proffering feasible solutions to such problems. Methods: Semi –structured, pre-tested Questionnaires administered to laboratory users in 2 teaching hospitals in Nigeria to find out their level of satisfaction with various aspects of laboratory services. One is a Federal Government hospital with 620 bed spaces and 7 full time Consultant Clinical Microbiologists while the other hospital is owned by State Government and has 280 bed spaces, 1 full time plus 2 visiting Consultant Clinical Microbiologists. Results: There is a general low level customer satisfaction observed in this study. Only 27.8% and 5.4% of respondents from UCH and LTH respectively agreed that laboratory user’s handbook was available while about 38.3% and 22.5% respectively agreed that laboratory turnaround time was satisfactory. Respondents from UCH and LTH who agreed that it was easy to obtain expert advice from Consultant Clinical Microbiologists were 45.1% and 20.2% respectively. About 94.7% and 88.8% of respondents from UCH and LTH respectively agreed that request forms were easy to fill while 76.7% and 68.5% respectively agreed that expert advice obtained from Consultant Clinical Microbiologists were helpful in the management of their patients. Discussion, conclusion and recommendation: The general low level of customer satisfaction observed from the 2 hospitals may be attributable to the general inadequate health workforce and infrastructure in Nigeria where the government spend only 6.4% of its annual budget on health which is far below expectation. The particularly lower level of customer satisfaction in LTH may be due to the fact that there is only one full time Clinical Microbiologist in the in the laboratory. These laboratories can make the best out of the situation at hand by improving their communication with the users so as to make them appreciate the actual cost of tests andtime required to generate results. 1 results 1

- In the 21st century, the dominant driver in library and information services is rapid technological advancement involving several technologies including mobile applications and social media. Committed to assisting teaching, learning, research and community services and enhancing the best possible use of these libraries, many academic libraries in Nigeria have creatively and innovatively improved upon service delivery using a variety of ways and approaches. The aim of this paper is to discuss the phases of development which two of these libraries — the Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan and the University of Lagos Library have undergone. The paper also highlights the products and services as well as the approaches that the librarians have adopted in meeting the ever changing needs of their clients. This paper is informed by the personal experience of the authors who had actively participated in projects that brought about the changes. 1 results 1

- Several Muslim women in Nigeria lack access to sustainable and independent sources of income. The situation has no doubt contributed to household poverty within the Nigerian Muslim community. In their bid to seeking credit to engage in lawful income generating ventures, Muslim women were more often than not, compelled to patronise interest-bearing sources of finance as against their desires and the teachings of Islam. Existing studies have treated the issue of women's empowerment from eclectic angles and the challenges of Muslim Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Nigeria without suggesting an enduring and sustainable solution to the issue through an acceptable Islamic line of funding to empower female Muslims in the country. This paper, therefore, suggests the establishment of an NGO dedicated Muslim women from which Self Help Groups (SHGs) would emerge. It also suggests the establishment of Islamic Microfinance banks across the country to service the NGO and indeed its female Muslim clients. If this is done, it would go a long way in empowering the Nigerian Muslims through the means acceptable to Islam. 1 results 1
- Some nurses have been perceived to have poor interpersonal relationships with patients. This, could affect their productivity and also inhibit psychological torture and wellness of patients. Thus, nurses require emotional labour to overcome these challenges. Emotional labour is the degree of one‟s display of appropriate emotion in response to the patient and the management of feelings to create a publicly observable emotional display as the situation demands. Transactional Analysis and Self-Efficacy Strategy treatments have been employed in enhancing the emotional labour of sales personnel, cashiers, receptionists, police officers and some healthcare personnel but have not been used in respect of nurses‟ professional output. Therefore, this study investigated effects of TA and SES on emotional labour of nurses in the government hospitals Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. The study employed a pretest-posttest, control group, quasi-experimental design with a 3x3x2 factorial matrix. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 124 nurses from University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital and Civil Service Hospital in Kwara State, these hospitals are government hospitals. Two instruments were used. They are Emotional Labour Scale (=0.81) and Emotional Intelligence Scale (=0.80). The samples were randomised into two experimental groups and one control group. It involves eight weeks training; one hour daily contact session twice a week for the experimental groups while the control group was met in the first and eighth week of the contact period. The groups are Transactional Analysis, Selfefficacy and Control group. Seven hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 level of significance. Data were analysed using the descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance. There was a significant main effect of treatments on emotional labour of participants (F(2,114)=44,487, p<0.05). The Transactional Analysis group obtained the highest mean score in emotional labour ( X =170.286), Self-efficacy mean score ( X =164.77), and the lowest mean score obtained by the control group ( X =136.571) which means that Transactional Analysis was more effective in enhancing the emotional labour of the participants. There was no significant difference in the two-way interaction effect of treatment and the moderating variable of emotional intelligence emotional intelligence on participants‟ emotional labour. A comparison of the emotional labour scores of the participants with low, moderate and high levels of emotional intelligence treated with Transactional Analysis and Self-Efficacy strategies were not also significant. Although Transactional Analysis was more effective than Self-Efficacy Strategies, the two approaches were effective in enhancing emotional labour of nurses in Kwara State. The two intervention strategies are, therefore, recommended for use by nurses and other helping professionals in handling interpersonal relationships with their clients. 1 results 1

- The availability of VCT for HIV for booked antenatal patients offers a unique opportunity for best obstetrics practice but not for patients presenting with emergencies and unknown HIV status. Health workers who attend to such patients are at higher risk of acquiring HIV infections. Between 1st March 2005 and 30th September 2007, unbooked emergency obstetric patients in the labour ward of a teaching hospital who consented were tested using double rapid immunodiagnostic technique and confirmed by Western Blot. HIV positive patients were post-test counselled and offered single dose nevirapine tablet (200 mg) in labour with syrup given to the baby at birth at 2 mg/kg followed by syrup zidovudine for 6 weeks. The results showed that 275 (89.0%) of the 309 women pre-test counselled agreed to testing. The mean age of clients was 27.7 years (± 4.4 SD). The mean gestational age at presentation was 36.4 weeks (± 4.2 weeks). Primigravidae constituted 37.5% of the patients. Twenty-one (7.6%) of these consenting patients were HIV positive. In conclusion, the HIV prevalence of 7.6% among these unbooked obstetric patients is higher than the 4.7% among our booked antenatal patients and National prevalence of 4.4%. This poses substantial risk of transmission of HIV to attending health workers considering the readiness with which needle prick accident can occur in emergency situations. 1 results 1
