The aim of this study was to examine ethnicity and educational level as predicting factors for the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria. Two (2) hypotheses were posed for this study. Methods. This study employed the concurrent explanatory design method. The sample was comprised of 32,224 respondents, all Nigerian citizens. A multistage sampling technique was employed for the survey involving quantitative data. A questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. Results. The findings of this study revealed that there is a significant difference in COVID-19 vaccine acceptance based on tribe/ethnicity. The Tiv tribe and respondents who had tertiary education had the highest acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusion.

Since the stress imposed by the different occupations and the different family structures are different, the stress transferred to the children will depend on the occupation and family structure of their parents. Objective: This study was therefore designed to understand the influence of the stress incurred by parents from their family structure and occupation on the academic/examination stress of their children in Oroke High School Akungba -Akoko, Ondo State, SW Nigeria. Method: The population of the study comprises all the students of Oroke High School, Akungba Akoko (650) out of which a sample of 313 that satisfied our criteria was selected, using purposive sampling technique. Digital sphygmomanometer was used to measure the actual blood pressure readings of the respondents twice, with at least thirty minutes interval in sitting positions. Th...

Four (4) hypotheses were posed for this study. Methods: This study employed a descriptive method design. The sample size was comprised of 32,224 respondents, all Nigeria citizens. A multistage sampling technique was employed for the survey involving quantitative data. A questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. The data collected for this study were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics (t-test and ANOVA). Results: The findings of this study revealed that there is a significant difference in COVID-19 vaccine acceptance based on age F (9, 32214) = 812.114, P<0.05, ƞ2=0.1849; based on gender differences t = (32222) = -21.808, P<0.05; based on religion t = (32222) = --75.228, P<0.05; and based on income F (4, 32219) = 740.394, P<0.05, ƞ2=0.084.

The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study and a multistage random sampling technique was used to select 450 subjects. The instrument for data collection was a close ended multiple choice questionnaire designed by the researcher and built around the research questions. The reliability was established through test-retest method and a correlation of 0.84 was obtained. The researcher personally administered the instruments and retrieved them immediately after completion, and a 100% retrieval rate was achieved. Data was analyzed using frequency counts; mean of scores; standard deviation; t-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient were used to test the hypotheses with the alpha level set at 0.05.The findings of this study show...

Globalization has impact without delay and in a roundabout way on health of human population. It poses greater negative effects on fitness with higher danger of infectious disorder. Infectious sickness has been the most vital contributor to human morbidity and mortality [1]. Pandemics of infectious sicknesses have passed off throughout history. Once a pandemic is underway, the effect will also depend on element of human actions. Though the toll on the health of the young, elderly, men, women, and exclusive ethnicities may also differ because of biology, the undernourished and already-ill may be hardest-hit. The ultimate decades witnessed the emergence of numerous new viral respiration tract illnesses that threatens global fitness.

Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was carried out in two state-owned hospitals between April and August 2019 using a purposive and convenience sample of 120 mothers of under-five children. Data collected were analyzed using PPMC and regression to test the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. Results: The study shows that three out of four environmental predictors were potent predictors of the incidence of gastroenteritis. They include: quality of water source (β = .387, t = 7.638, P 0.05) was not a potent predictor. Area of residence, quality of water source, hygienic practices and method of sewage disposal had a significant joint contribution used to predict the incidence of gastroenteritis. Conclusion: Area of residence, quality of water source, hygienic practices and method of sewage disposal all increase ...

The aim of this study is to use the data of blood pressure to find out the effect of examination stress on the various Nigerian secondary school classes. Method: Quasi experimental research design was used for this study, A sample of (650) respondents was selected using stratified sampling technique. Digital sphygmomanometer was used to measure the actual blood pressure readings of the respondents. The readings were taken twice on each occasion with at least thirty minutes interval in sitting positions. The measurements were carried out three times during the study, two weeks after resumption for the second term of 2017/2018 academic year, two weeks before ...
