Knowledge and abuse of psychoactive substances among commercial drivers in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria
(Nigerian School Health Association (NSHA), 2018-06) Amao, O. Z. K.; Odelola, J. O.
This study examined knowledge and abuse of psychoactive substances among commercial drivers in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was used for this study. One hundred commercial drivers were sampled from commercial motor parks in Ibadan. The instrument used for the study was a self-developed questionnaire which was appropriately validated by experts and cronbach alpha was used to establish the reliability. Two research questions were raised to guide the study. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation. Results showed that commercial drivers in Ibadan do not have knowledge of psychoactive substance and they indulge in abuse of psychoactive substances. It was therefore recommended that drug education with greater emphasis on negative effects of psychoactive substances should be organized regularly for commercial drivers in Ibadan metropolis.
Capacity building and material resources as determinants of practitioners’ effectiveness in delivering health education for poverty alleviation and sustainable development in Oyo State Knowledge and abuse of psychoactive substances among commercial drivers in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria
(2018-06) Odelola, J. O.
The study investigated capacity- building and material resources as determinants of practitioners' effectiveness in delivering health education for poverty> alleviation and sustainable development in Oyo state rural communities. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The study sampled 244 community health practitioners from fifteen local government areas of Oyo State in South Western Nigeria. Data were collected through questionnaire. Three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The finding showed a significant joint effect of variables of capacity building (collaborative learning, knowledge management and technological support) and material resources equipment, facilities and fund) on practitioners' effectiveness in delivering health education (F(6.237= 17.732; P<0.05). It was concluded that effectiveness of community health practitioners in delivering health education is a function of technical exposure, motivation and provision of necessary materials. It was recommended that community health practitioners should be equipped with knowledge and skills through regular attendance of conferences, symposia, and seminars. Also, they should be given necessary motivation and materials with which to be effective in delivering health education.
Impact of health education on awareness of sedentary lifestyle as predisposing factor to cardiovascular diseases among secondary school principals in zone 4, Nigeria
(2018) Akinwusi, A. T.; Odelola, J. O.
Skeletal muscles contract to produce body movement Essentially, skeletal muscle activities affect the health of other organs such as heart, adipose tissue, brain. Engaging in physical exercise enhances proper functioning of body organs, thus promoting healthy living. Nigerian secondary school principals are not known to engage in physical exercise, probably due to poor awareness of its importance to their health. Meanwhile, a life of inactivity otherwise called sedentary lifestyle is a risk factor to cardiovascular disease. In recent times, cardiovascular disease has led to a significant increase in deaths among administrators in Nigeria. Therefore, this study examined impact of Health Education on awareness of sedentary life style as predisposing factor to cardiovascular diseases among secondary school principals in zone 4, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study adopted a single group pre-test-post-test quasi experimental research design. Participants were given Health education on sedentary lifestyle and related diseases as its resultant effect. A split plot analysis of variance (SPANOVA) was employed to find the difference in pre-test-post-test scores of the participants. The result showed that, health education given was effective. The participants’ awareness level increased, thus willing to refrain from sedentary lifestyle and adopt a sporting lifestyle. It was recommended that, the Ministry of Education should mandate school managements to create time during the school hours for principals and members of staff to engage in physical exercises. Also, health education in which disease prevention will feature prominently should form part of the agenda during meetings of school principals.

(The Institut Bilingue Libre Du Togo, 2017-12) Odelola, J. O.
Health education is a proven cost effective disease prevention strategy. Effective health education delivery to heavy disease- burden-carrying- community people depends largely on the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This study therefore examined management practices as correlates of information and communication technology use for health education delivery among practitioners in Oyo State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population was all community health practitioners in Oyo State. The instrument used for data collection was a self-constructed questionnaire with 0.87 reliability coefficient The collected data were analysed using Pearson's Product- Moment Correlation, Analysis of Variance and Regression statistics. Findings show that variables of management practices correlated significantly with effective health education delivery. It was concluded that good management practices can enhance use of Information and Communication technology in the delivery of health education. Therefore, it is recommended that infrastructure maintenance, personnel training, usage of monitoring and supporting policy that can facilitate the use of ICT by community health practitioners to deliver health education effectively should be put in place.
