- W4297168906 abstract "Malaria is a leading parasitic disease in Nigeria and the risk exist throughout the country. This study examined the status and use of traditional and modern methods in malaria management in five communities in Badagry Division of Lagos State, Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 100 participants, with 20 randomly selected from each community. Data analysis revealed that 85% of the respondents were knowledgeable of the relationship between malaria and mosquitoes. 66% believed that modern methods is better for preventing mosquitoes. 44% believed that traditional methods work faster and 56% felt that this method is cheaper for mosquito control while 15% nurture mosquito’ repellant plants within their vicinity. 43% considered malaria to be a serious disease with fever as the most recognized symptom among 50%. 35% preferred the home treatment by nurses due to promptness and cheaper charges while 59% practiced self-medication. 55% preferred treating malaria with modern medicines because of safety and specificity. 41% preferred both herbal and modern medicines which they believed work together to manage malaria better. 7% never used modern drugs because they believe herbs are more effective. Amatem (11%) was the most preferred drug among 12 commonly used modern drugs. 12% still used chloroquine because of its affordability and 21% preferred injections. Health care workers are needed to reduce long waiting times in hospitals in order to curb self -medication. Herbal treatment appears as alternative to modern treatment so traditional practitioners should receive standard training in clinical medicine. Modern health practitioners should appreciate the potential of traditional practitioners and collaborate in malaria management." @default.
