RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Inappropriate health-seeking behaviour has been associated with unfavourable health outcomes. This study determined the association between socio-demographic characteristics and health-seeking behaviour and the association between health-seeking behaviour and health outcomes of patients attending the health insurance clinic of a tertiary hospital. METHODS: The study was carried out between July and November 2021, involving patients who attended the NHIS clinic, of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, between 2009 and 2018. The records were reviewed, and data about their socio-demographic characteristics, the period between when symptoms started and the time of presentation in the clinic with the outcome of the patient, were extracted and analysed. RESULTS: A total of 12,200 patients were seen within the period under review. Females were 51.1%, Yorubas were 92.0%, Christians 95.5%, 51.1% had tertiary education, and 32.5% had primary education. Looking at timely reporting, 58% reported at the clinic 48 hours after symptoms while 23% reported within 24 hours. Of those who presented within 24 hours, 13.1% were admitted compared to 2.2% of those who presented after 48 hours. The association between timeliness of reporting and outcome was statistically significant with p value < 0.05. CONCLUSION: The severity of the illness determined the timeliness of presentation at the Clinic despite being insured. Social and behavioural change intervention is recommended for attitudinal change to improve health-seeking behaviour.


CONTEXTE: Un comportement inapproprié en matière de recherche de santé a été associé à des résultats défavorables en matière de santé. Cette étude a déterminé l'association entre les caractéristiques sociodémographiques et le comportement de recherche de santé, ainsi que l'association entre le comportement de recherche de santé et les résultats de santé des patients fréquentant la clinique d'assurance maladie d'un hôpital tertiaire. MÉTHODES: L'étude a été réalisée entre juillet et novembre 2021, auprès de patients ayant fréquenté la clinique NHIS de l'hôpital universitaire de l'État d'Ekiti, à Ado Ekiti, entre 2009 et 2018. Les dossiers ont été examinés et les données concernant leurs caractéristiques sociodémographiques, la période entre le début des symptômes et le moment de la présentation à la clinique avec le résultat du patient, ont été extraites et analysées. RÉSULTATS: Au total, 12 200 patients ont été examinés au cours de la période considérée. Les femmes représentaient 51,1%, les Yorubas 92,0%, les chrétiens 95,5%, 51,1% avaient un niveau d'éducation tertiaire et 32,5% un niveau d'éducation primaire. En ce qui concerne la rapidité de la déclaration, 58% des personnes ont déclaré leur maladie à la clinique 48 heures après l'apparition des symptômes, tandis que 23% l'ont déclarée dans les 24 heures. Parmi ceux qui se sont présentés dans les 24 heures, 13,1 % ont été admis, contre 2,2 % pour ceux qui se sont présentés après 48 heures. L'association entre la rapidité du signalement et le résultat était statistiquement significative avec une valeur p < 0,05. CONCLUSION: La gravité de la maladie détermine la rapidité de la présentation à la clinique malgré le fait d'être assuré. Une intervention sociale et comportementale est recommandée pour changer les attitudes afin d'améliorer les comportements de recherche de santé.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Currently, <10% of Nigerians are insured by the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and this among other things has led to the signing of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Act in May 2022, which aims at ensuring the effective implementation of a national health insurance policy and attainment of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Nigeria. OBJECTIVE: To highlight the new features of the NHIA Act and its policy implications for the Nigerian health system. METHODS: A modified Delphi method was used for extracting the differences in the two Acts. A total of three rounds of reviews were carried out among 5 reviewers within three weeks. Differences were tabulated and also presented in prose. FINDINGS: The NHIA Act makes health insurance mandatory for all residents of Nigeria with the introduction of the vulnerable group fund and implementation of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund through the established State Health Insurance Schemes. Unlike the NHIS which is a Scheme, the NHIA is an Authority and has an expanded function to regulate, promote, manage and integrate all health insurance schemes and practices in Nigeria. Also, funds management has been transferred from Health Maintenance Organizations to the State Health Insurance Schemes and the Health Maintenance Organizations are now excluded from the Governing Council. CONCLUSION: Certainly, the journey towards UHC could be safer and more equitable with health insurance now mandatory for all Nigerians and the introduction of vulnerable group funds in the new Act. This will eliminate the catastrophic expenses of poor Nigerians if the Act is correctly implemented.


CONTEXTE: Actuellement, moins de 10 % des Nigérians sont assurés par le régime national d'assurance maladie (NHIS), ce qui a conduit à la signature de la loi sur l'Autorité nationale d'assurance maladie (NHIA) en mai 2022, qui vise à assurer la mise en œuvre effective d'un régime national d'assurance maladie. politique d'assurance maladie et réalisation de la Couverture santé universelle au Nigeria. OBJECTIF: mettre en évidence les nouvelles caractéristiques de la loi NHIA et ses implications politiques pour le système de santé nigérian. METHODES: Une méthode Delphi modifiée a été utilisée pour extraire les différences entre les deux lois. Au total, trois séries d'examens ont été menées auprès de 5 examinateurs en trois semaines. Les différences ont été tabulées et également présentées en prose. RESULTATS: La loi NHIA rend l'assurance maladie obligatoire pour tous les résidents du Nigéria avec l'introduction du fonds pour les groupes vulnérables et la mise en œuvre du fonds de prestation de soins de santé de base par le biais des régimes d'assurance maladie établis par l'État. Contrairement au NHIS qui est un régime, le NHIA est une autorité et a une fonction élargie pour réglementer, promouvoir, gérer et intégrer tous les régimes et pratiques d'assurance maladie au Nigéria. En outre, la gestion financière a été transférée des organismes de gestion de la santé aux régimes publics d'assurance maladie, les organismes de gestion de la santé étant exclus du conseil d'administration. CONCLUSION: Certes, le parcours vers la CSU pourrait être plus sûr et plus équitable avec une assurance maladie désormais obligatoire pour tous les Nigérians et l'introduction de fonds pour les groupes vulnérables dans la nouvelle loi. Cela éliminera les dépenses catastrophiques des Nigérians pauvres si la loi est correctement mise en œuvre. Mots-clés: Assurance maladie, système de santé, NHIA, NHIS, Nigeria.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Several factors have been shown to influence cigarette smoking and are important in creating measures for tobacco control. The aim of this study is to identify the factors responsible for making decisions to start or stop cigarette smoking among students. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study which sampled 280 youths in tertiary institutions using multi-stage sampling technique. The data was collected using self-administered questionnaire that had been pretested and validated. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 16. Frequency tables and cross-tabulations were generated with a 95% confidence interval and predetermined p-value at less than 0.05. RESULTS: All the current smokers (100%) were males, most (73.2%) were within 21 to 25 years of age and 87.8% of them had a relative or friend who smoked. Some (29%) of the students who currently smoked were willing to quit smoking while 73.2% of them had ever attempted to quit smoking. Students who smoked to relieve stress were willing to stop smoking (100.0%), while 40% of those who smoked for pleasure/relaxation were willing to stop smoking. Students who had received lectures on smoking were significantly willing to quit (100.0%) compared with those who had not received such lectures (0.0%) (p = 0.000). DISCUSSION: Understanding the role of the factors associated with smoking initiating and cessation is very crucial in planning appropriate intervention for the control of cigarette smoking among the youths and there is need for more youth oriented health education directed towards a proper attitude to tobacco control.
