- This research work was carried out to unravel democratic cultural competence of senior secondary school students- prefects in Akure City, Ondo State, Nigeria. Three hundred and ninety (390) senior secondary school prefects from twenty-eight (28) secondary schools participated in this study and the data collected were analysed using simple tables, frequency count, graphs, percentages and mean deviation. According to the study findings, it was found that the school prefects possessed high level of democratic knowledge, values, attitude arid the school prefects' interest in politics was high while their democratic skills was moderate. This is not the focus of this paper. Therefore, this study recommended that secondary schools' administration should be all inclusive in such a way that it will afford students the opportunity of participating in the decision-making process, while teachers should create a friendly and democratic learning environment where the interest of the learners is the centre-piece of the learning activities by emphasizing students-centred methods of teaching. 2 results 2

- A motivated employee cares about his/her workplace and work to contribute towards the organizational success, longevity and profitability. There are motivational factors, intrinsic or extrinsic, which influences employees' workplace behaviour (performance and level of satisfaction). This study examined the relationship between Job Engagement, Security, Training and Employees Workplace Behaviour in Selected Industries in Ogun and Lagos states, Nigeria. The descriptive research design was used for the study. The population comprised of employees in service and manufacturing industries in Ogun and Lagos States. A questionnaire tagged "Job Engagement, Security, Training on Employees Workplace Behaviour Questionnaire" was the main instrument used for the research. From the service industries, a random sampling technique was used to select civil service, the teaching service and manufacturing firms from both states. A total of 235 respondents were used as sample for the study. A Cronbach Alpha reliability obtained for each of the sections in the questionnaire is: Engagement at work (0.74); job security (0.67); training at work (0.80) and workplace behaviour (0.87).Three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Finding showed that there was significant relationship between job engagement and workplace behaviour of employees (r = .502, n= 235, P < .05), that there was significant relationship between job security and workplace behaviour of employees(r = .504, n= 235, P < .05). Furthermore, the study revealed that there was significant relationship between job training and work-place behaviour of employees (r = .648, n= 235, P < .05). The study therefore recommends that employers should assure their employees of their job security, given opportunities for job engagement. Also, employees should be trained to improve their skills and knowledge so as to make employees care about their workplace and create positive workplace behaviour. 1 results 1

- Background: Falls and fall-related injuries are a foremost health concern among older adults aged 60 years and above. Fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs) use by older adults is one related cause of falling, and it is frequently used among older adults. Pharmacist-led counselling is an aspect of patient education that has been associated with improved therapeutic outcome and quality of life in high income countries with scarcity of information in lowmiddle income countries. This study therefore aims to assess hospital pharmacists’ knowledge and counselling on fall-related medications using the list compiled by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare on FRIDs and orthostatic drugs (ODs). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 56 pharmacists working in a teaching hospital in Nigeria, between July and August 2019, using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were summarized with descriptive statistics while chi-square test was used for categorical variables at p < 0.05. Results: Thirty-five (62.5%) were within 10 years of practice experience. Two-third (62.5%) of the pharmacists possessed an additional qualification to Bachelor of Pharmacy degree. Twenty-two (40.0%) were aware of the FRIDs and ODs list. In all, (89.3%) had “unsatisfactory” knowledge of classes of medications and specific medicines that could cause a fall. Most pharmacists 42 (80.8%) focused counsel on appropriate medication use, adverse effects of drugs and storage of medications. Knowledge score of both FRIDs and ODs were neither significantly associated with pharmacists’ years of qualification (χ 2 = 1.282; p = 0.733), (χ 2 = 2.311; p = 0.510) nor with possession of additional qualification (χ 2 = 0.854; p = 0.836), (χ 2 = 2.996; p = 0.392). Majority, 53 (98.1%) believed that patients will benefit from effective counselling on FRIDs and ODs. About half (25; 51.0%) suggested training through seminar presentation as a measure for FRIDs and ODs sensitization. Conclusion: A substantial gap in knowledge and awareness of FRIDs and ODs was noted among the hospital pharmacists. However, engagement of pharmacists on counsel that focus on medication use, adverse effect and storage was relatively better. Thus, there is a general need to create awareness about fall-risk-increasing drugs among hospital pharmacists, so as to help improve the therapeutic outcome particularly in the older adults. 1 results 1
- Background: Inappropriate medication prescribing and dispensing by physicians and pharmacists is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Signifying the importance of healthcare professionals’ knowledge of potentially inappropriate prescribing tools/ guidelines which would improve overall health outcomes. Beers Criteria is one of the most used guidelines that list specifc potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). This study aimed to investigate physicians’ and hospital pharmacists’ awareness, knowledge, practice, confdence, and barriers to the use of Beers criteria. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 66 hospital pharmacists and 31 family medicine physi cians working in a teaching hospital in Nigeria, between May and September 2021 using a self-administered ques tionnaire. Knowledge of PIMs was assessed using 11 clinical vignettes based on the 2019 Beers Criteria. Practice behavior towards elderly patients was assessed using a 5-item statement with a 5-point Likert scale. Perceived barriers to the appropriate use of Beers Criteria were assessed using a 15-item statement. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 66 hospital pharmacists and 31 family medicine physicians participated in the study. Only (24; 36.4%) pharmacists and (4; 12.9%) physicians knew guidelines that listed specifc PIMs. In all (21; 31.8%) pharmacists and (11; 35.4%) physicians demonstrated good knowledge of Beers Criteria, while most pharmacists (55; 83.3%) and physicians (29; 93.5%) reported good practice when dealing with elderly patients in terms of asking relevant ques tions and considering their ages while dispensing medications. Knowledge scores were not signifcantly associated with hospital pharmacists’ socio-demographics. Most of the physicians and pharmacists were confdent in the care provided for geriatric patients. The majority (66; 100.0%) pharmacists and (28; 93.5%) physicians suggested training through seminar presentations as a measure to improve the use of Beers’ criteria. Lack of time to counsel patients was a major barrier recounted by both physicians and pharmacists. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals that participated in this study had satisfactory practice, although a gap in the knowledge of hospital pharmacists and family medicine physicians was noted. In addition to creating aware ness among healthcare professionals and training on PIMs and Beers’ criteria, a multidisciplinary approach to reduce potentially inappropriate prescribing and dispensing would greatly help reduce the incidence of potentially inappro priate medication use among elderly patients. 1 results 1
