Item Knowledge of the human papilloma virus vaccines, and opinions of gynaecologists on its implementation in Nigeria(2013-06) Morhason-Bello, I. O.; Adesina, O. A.; Adedokun, B. O.; Awolude, O.; Okolo, C. A.; Aimakhu, C. O.; Akinwunmi, B. O.; Oladokun, A.; Adewole, I. F.The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge and perception of Nigerian Obstetricians and Gynaecologists towards human papilloma virus vaccine use in Nigeria. A cross sectional study was conducted amongst participants that attended the 42nd Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of Nigeria. The findings revealed that 44.5% knew the correct HPV vaccine schedule. Regarding implementation in Nigeria, 87.4% suggested its incorporation into the national immunization program and about a third agreed that it should be a precondition for school enrolment. Regression analysis showed that senior residents were more likely to have adequate knowledge of the vaccine compared to junior residents (AOR 7.181 95% CI OR=1.792 – 28.782). We conclude that the knowledge of eligibility and schedule is poor. It is recommended that adequate information should be provided to this group of health workers because of their strategic position in its implementation in NigeriaItem Uncomplicated midvaginal vesico-vaginal fistula repair in Ibadan: a comparison of the abdominal and vaginal routes(2008-12) Morhason-Bello, I. O.; Ojengbede, O. A.; Adedokun, B. O.; Okunlola, M. A.; Oladokun, A.Background: Obstetric fistula is a resultant effect of prolonged obstructed labour. The best surgical management of simple uncomplicated fistula determines the outcome of care. Objective: To compare outcome of uncomplicated mid-vaginal fistula between vaginal and abdominal route of repair. Materials and Method: This was a hospital based retrospective study conducted at the University College Hospital, Ibadan from January, 2000 till December, 2006. Result: Of the 71 midvaginal fistulae managed, 40.8% had abdominal repair while the remainder were through vaginal approach. The overall repair success rate was 79.2% with comparable outcome in both groups-78.3% for the abdominal and 80% for the vaginal group (p=0.999). The duration of hospital stay did not differ significantly between the groups (p=0.972). Post operative complications were found in 41.4% of the abdominal group compared to none in the vaginal group (p<0.001). The complications were failed repair (20.7%) and urinary tract infection (20.7%). The mean estimated blood loss was 465.5ml in the abdominal group compared to 332.9ml for the vaginal group (p=0.303). Conclusion: Despite the comparable surgical repair outcome of the two methods, the vaginal approach is associated with lesser blood loss and lower risk of post-operative complications. It is recommended that the vaginal route should be employed in the repair of uncomplicated midvaginal fistula unless there are other compelling reasons to the contraryItem Contraceptive practice and commodity sources amongst female undergraduates in Ibadan, Southwest Nigeria(2008-09) Okunlola, M. A.; Morhason-Bello, I. O.; Adekunle, A O. .Objective: To determine the pattern of contraceptive use, and its sources among female undergraduates of the University of Ibadan. Methodology: A cross-sectional study design using self administered questionnaire. The study was conducted from November 2005 till March 2006. Results: The result of one thousand six hundred and thirty respondents were analysed out of 1800 interviewed. The commonest age group was 21-25years and about half were in their second and third undergraduate training year. They were mostly single, Christians and of the Yoruba ethnic group. Among those interviewed, 84% admitted to previous sexual activity. However, only a third had ever used any form of modern contraception. The commonest method of contraception ever used was male condom (82.0%) and the least was implantable contraception (1.4%). Other methods used included spermicides, oral contraceptive pills, and injectables. Of those that used contraception, 59.0% procured the service/commodity from pharmacy shops and patent medicine outlet. Other sources mentioned included; non-governmental organization private hospitals, and friends/relatives. Some did not indicate the source of procurement. Conclusion: The study revealed that students in Nigeria engage in risky sexual practices which may be detrimental to the future reproductive activities. Even those that claim to use contraceptives may not have been properly counseled prior to use. We recommend that safer sexual practices should be encouraged and some emphasis on abstinence. Advocacy on appropriate sources of contraceptives commodities should be pursuedItem Sexual behaviour of in-school adolescents in Ibadan, South-West Nigeria(2008) Morhason-Bello, I. O.; Oladokun, A.; Enakpene, C. A.; Fabamwo, A .O.; Obisesan, K.A.; Ojengbede, O. A.This study was a crossectional survey conducted among 716 senior secondary school adolescents in Ibadan from March to August 2005. The result of 695 that was analyzed revealed that the mean age of 15±2.6years. 28.3% of the respondents had previous sexual exposure with higher proportions being male (p=0.00043). Majorities’ first sexual exposure was unplanned. Family settings and educational level do not have significant influence on the previous sexual exposure. The methods of sexual activity were mainly through vagina route while some had also practiced oral and anal sex. Most of those that are sexually exposed had more than one partner. About half of the respondents learn about sex from their friends while others through their parents and media. We conclude that in-school adolescents practiced unsafe sexual activity and they are therefore predisposed to STI/HIV and other reproductive health risksItem Knowledge of the human papilloma virus vaccines, and opinions of gynaecologists on its implementation in Nigeria(Women’s Health and Action Research Centre, 2013) Morhason-Bello, I.
