Survey data on users perception of flexibility of spaces in selected cultural center in southwest Nigeria.

ABSTRACT: Architects that specialize in designing cultural centers have often been accused of providing spaces that become obsolete in the coming years. This is because as technology and time changes, requirements also change, necessitating new arrangement of spaces. Very few of the spaces provided in cultural centers can however be adapted to other uses. This has affected the sustainability of those spaces. These data present the perceptions of users on the need for, and the features that enhance flexibility in cultural centers. The data were obtained from a questionnaire survey of users of the three (3) cultural centers in Nigeria. The survey was conducted between October and November 2017. The data may facilitate the evidence-based approaches to facilitate improved built environment and will be useful to built environment professionals, policy makers and design researchers.

Project description:BACKGROUND: In the human species, twin is a type of multiple birth in which the mother gives birth to two offspring from the same pregnancy. The occurrence and frequency of twinning, however, varies across human populations. The maternal age, socio-environmental factors, increase in the use of contraceptives, the race of human population, increase in the spontaneous abortion rate, and seasonal variations are among the factors that could influence twinning rate. Information on twinning rates in southwest Nigeria is limited. AIMS: This study presents information on the frequency of twinning, as well as its analysis by maternal age, in four urban settings in southwest Nigeria. This is with the aim of extending current knowledge on the frequency of twinning in southwest Nigeria and contributing to the demographic studies in the country. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data on single births and twin births from January 1995 to December 2004 were collected from the Oyo State General Hospital (OSGH), Wesley Guild Hospital (WGH), Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTH), and Ekiti State Specialist Hospital (ESSH) in Ogbomoso, Ilesa, Ile-Ife, and Ado-Ekiti respectively. These were analyzed by year and maternal age groups of 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, and 45-49 years according to the standard method. RESULTS: A frequency of twin births of 46.5 per 1000 deliveries and 46.2 per 1000 deliveries was recorded for Ilesa and Ile-Ife respectively. The frequency recorded for Ogbomoso and Ado-Ekiti was 38.5 and 22.1 per 1000 deliveries respectively. The overall average frequency of 40.2 per 1000 deliveries for the four hospitals ranks among the highest recorded rates of twin births in the world. The maternal age group of 25-29 years had the highest occurrence of twin births, while the lowest was recorded in the 45-49 years age group. CONCLUSION: This analysis reveals high incidence of twinning in the studied areas and supports previous assertion that the southwestern part of Nigeria has the highest twinning rate in the country and in the whole world. It is our opinion that diet, maternal history of twinning, and some socio-environmental factors may have influenced the results.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study set out to assess older people's perception of their medications, attitude towards medication use and their willingness to have medications deprescribed in a geriatric centre in Southwestern Nigeria.Design and settingA cross-sectional study was conducted at the Chief Tony Anenih Geriatric Centre, University of Ibadan, using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire used was a revised version of the Patient's Attitude Towards Deprescribing Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, and multivariate and bivariate analyses were performed using SPSS V.23. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.Participants415 older patients aged ≥60 years who attended the geriatric centre in University College Hospital Ibadan between April and July 2022.Main outcome measureThe primary outcome was the willingness of the older person to deprescribe if recommended by the physician.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 69.6±6.4 years, and 252 (60.7%) were female. Overall, the willingness and positive attitude to medication deprescribing among respondents were 60.5% and 89.7%, respectively. Factors significantly associated with willingness to deprescribe were financial self-support (p=0.021), having no previous hospital admission (p=0.009), better-perceived quality of health relative to peers (p<0.0001), polypharmacy (p=0.003), and the domains burden of medication (p=0.007), medication appropriateness (p<0.0001), concerns about stopping medications (p<0.0001) and involvement with medications (p<0.0001). The predictive factors for improved willingness to deprescribe were direct involvement with medications (OR=2.463; 95% CI 1.501 to 4.043, p<0.0001), medication appropriateness (OR=0.462; 95% CI 0.254 to 0.838, p=0.011) and concerns about stopping medications (OR=2.031; 95% CI 1.191 to 3.463, p=0.009).ConclusionParticipants demonstrated greater willingness to deprescribe if the physicians recommended it. Predictive factors that may influence willingness to deprescribe were direct involvement with medications, appropriateness of medication and concerns about stopping medications.
