Abstract: Background and Objective: The Coronavirus Disease pandemic has destabilized nearly all countries in the world, including Kenya. Healthcare care providers have carried initial burden of the pandemic owing to the fact they require considerable coping strategies to surmount the pandemic. However, critical studies on the interrelatedness and importance of challenges, coping strategies and resilience during the pandemic are lacking. This study explores the strategies of coping with challenges on role performance among frontline healthcare workers cross the demographic variables.

Method: Cross-sectional   research design was employed and multi stage sampling adopted to get the sample size of 298 respondents from a population of 873 frontline healthcare workers in Busia County, Kenya. The collected data were analyzed with multivariate regression analysis while qualitative findings were transcribed under themes.

Result: The results from Multivariate Analysis indicated The model predicted role performance of the frontline healthcare workers (F = 3.7, p < 0.0001) (β = 0.194, 95% CI: 0.100 - 0.289, p < 0.0001) a with the association being highly statistically significant association between coping strategies and role performance of frontline healthcare workers. Healthcare workers in urban health facilities experienced lower role performance unlike their counterparts in rural settings (β = - 0.087, 95% CI: -0.171 - -0.004, p = 0.040).  Male workers had increase in role performance for males (β = 0.042, 95% CI: 0.017 - 0.181, p = 0.018) as compared to female counterparts.

Conclusion: Coping strategies is important for frontline healthcare workers due to a delicate balance between job distress and personal health protection. Therefore education in a variety of coping strategies in health facilities is necessary to help leverage on role performance of healthcare workers in the wake of coronavirus disease pandemic.

Abstract: Unfortunately, the number of children living in Orphanages appears to be rising and managing these institutions in a professional manner still poses serious challenges. There is variability in the availability of important facilities such as portable water, electricity, clothing, medical, recreational and educational facilities in Child Care Centre’s. The objective of this study was to assess the quality and quantity of facilities in Child Care Centers in Benue State and also to implement best practices. The study used Purposive Sampling technique to assess 14 known registered Children Homes with the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, the Government Ministry tasked with Social Protection. The 14 Homes had a total number of 344 children.  (64.3%) 9 out of 14 Homes had an administrative office in place. (35.7%) 5 out of 14 Children Homes did not have adequate space for sleeping.  (78.5%) 10 out of 14 Children Homes did not have access to recreational facilities. Only (50%) 7 out of 14 Homes had a good nanny to children ratio. All the 14 Child Care Centers assessed did not have either Social Workers or Counselors among their staffs. Most of the Homes did not meet the minimum criteria or standard for a Child Care Center as prescribed by the Government or even indulged in best practices. The study recommended that Governments at the National, State and Local level should give financial support to approved Orphanages depending on their capacities and needs, and also establish a careful and frequent monitoring framework for them.

Abstract: As we know that the cardiovascular disease is the most no communicable and diverse effect on our health. This disease is spreading increasingly throughout the world.  Many other disease like heart problems, coronary disease, cancers, tissue deaths, blood vessels problems, hypertension, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarctions, chest pains and heart failures are the major disease of the cardiovascular problems. In this literature review of article, we will study about the treatment of these death causes disease to overcome and reduce the increasing risking factors, we have to use the nanoparticles and some other organic and inorganic microparicles. Now a day, Nanotechnology is the best way for the treatment of this kind of the disease. Here we will use and study about their biosynthesis, their chemical, physical properties their imaging affect scanning process, biocompatibility activity, sensing activity, clinical features, and drug delivery process of the organic and inorganic nanoparticles like dendrimers, polymeric micelles, liposomes, drug conjugated polymers, and some other Nano coated particles are included, on the other hand there are some inorganic nanoparticles like quantum dot, suprameganetic iron oxide nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles, nitric oxide nanoparticles, copper oxide nanoparticles, selenium-Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, and some other types of nanoparticles which are used in the treatment of the many disease like cardiovascular disease. Here we will discuss about the future perspective and recommendations of the nanoparticles and their technologies for the treatment of the diseases. Their encapsulation and administrations process of the micro particles for the drug delivery in our targeted body tissues and cells are under studying.
