Background: The human papilloma virus (HPV), a principal factor in the development of cervical cancer, is identified as one of the most widespread sexually transmitted infections, leading to a variety of conditions globally, from warts to cancer. It is estimated that 75% of people worldwide will contract an HPV infection at some point in their lives. Vaccination against HPV serves as an important preventive measure to reduce the rates of cervical cancer. Objective: This study assessed knowledge, attitude of mothers toward HPV vaccine uptake in Local communities in Edo State Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional study utilizing a descriptive approach was carried out with 350 participants, chosen through simple random sampling. Information was gathered via questionnaires conducted by researchers and was processed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 25. To examine the relationships between variables, the Fisher's exact test was employed, with statistical significance determined by a P-value < 0.05. Results: The average age of those surveyed was 40.4 years, with a standard deviation of 10.1 years. A mere 28.3% (44 respondents) had adequate knowledge about HPV and its vaccine. A significant portion (80%) exhibited a negative attitude toward receiving the HPV vaccine. There was a noticeable statistical correlation between the respondents' age and their awareness of HPV (with a p-value of 0.019) as well as between their employment status and their knowledge about HPV (p-value = 0.002). The primary reason cited by participants for not getting the HPV vaccine was its lack of availability. Conclusion: Knowledge and uptake of HPV vaccination among the respondents were poor.

Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on food safety KAPs of mothers living in Jordan following the COVID-19 pandemic. A reliable and accurate survey with 55 questions was distributed among mothers through social media. A total of 376 mothers completed the questionnaire. Results: The results showed a remarkable awareness among the participants of how to keep food safe. However, there is still a significant gap in the implementation of this information in everyday life. This research emphasizes the need for focused interventions in the context of COVID-19 to bridge the gap between Jordanian mothers' KAPs on food safety and personal cleanliness. Conclusion: Efforts should be made, such as public health campaigns and educational programs, to empower mothers, guaranteeing a consistent and comprehensive approach to food safety and personal hygiene in families. These results provide important insights for policymakers and health professionals who want to improve public health initiatives and community resilience during public health crises.

Level of skin-to-skin care practices among postnatal mothers in Ethiopia. A systematic review and meta-analysis

IntroductionEven though skin-to-skin contact offers several advantages for the survival of the newborn, it is not often practiced in Ethiopia. For instance, hypothermia which increases the risk of neonatal mortality by five times is prevented by this practice. Despite this, there are inconsistent findings that can affect policymaking. Consequently, this metanalysis aimed to produce trustworthy national data regarding skin-to-skin care practice and its determinants among postpartum mothers in Ethiopia. MethodsA search of the publications was conducted using MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar. The program used for cleaning and analysis was STATA version 18.2. The random-effects model was utilized to estimate the pooled prevalence, which was then presented using a forest plot with a 95 % confidence interval. We evaluated heterogeneity using I2 and Cochrane Q statistics. Moreover, a visual examination of a funnel plot and Egger's regression test were used to evaluate publication bias. ResultsThis study included eight studies with a total of 10410 postpartum mothers. The overall level of skin-to-skin care practices was 48 % (95%CI: 31, 65. I2=99.38 %, P = 0.001). Based on subgroup analysis by year of publication, studies published between 2017 and 2019 years showed that the level of skin-to-skin care practice among postnatal mothers was 52 % (95 % CI: 14–89, I2 = 99.19). The knowledge of mothers about skin-to-skin care was significantly associated with practicing a level of skin-to-skin care. ConclusionsThe findings showed that in Ethiopia, comparatively less than half of the newborns received skin-to-skin care. Moreover, there was a substantial correlation between the mother's knowledge and practice of skin-to-skin care. Therefore, both the government and all stakeholders should take coordinated action to improve and expand skin-to-skin care practices through health education, so that all postnatal mothers can practice this vital newborn care.
