Most data analysis problems start long before data collection. If you can’t explain how your variables will be scored and analyzed, your study is already at risk. Plan first. Analyze later.

This year, you will not just write research and analyse data for publication points/postgraduate/undergraduate qualifications alone. You will conduct research to solve problems, address needs and make impacts. Researches will be featured in clinical guidelines and other policy documents. There will be so many fundings for your research.

Happy New Year from all of us at Pelstat Consulting. We promise to deliver more excellently this year. We have increased our capacity to serve you better. Thank you for staying with us.

It is not enough for healthcare to be available, it must be accessible, meet all the essential needs, and at a cost that the community can afford. That is why we keep advocating for effective health insurance services in Nigeria.

Insurance services that will provide essential healthcare, drugs, and other health services. Also, the primary healthcare needs to be restored into its full scope. It must be well equipped with sufficient manpower and infrastructure. How many primary healthcare centres can boast of Electronic Medical Records, emergency drugs, sufficient staff, and functional laboratory? The primary healthcare should be the first point of contact but that is not what we have in Nigeria. There is need for good monitoring and evaluation and quality assurance. Nigeria health system can work, we must make it work.

December 1st was World AIDS Day, but it didn’t make local headlines the way it should.

Nigeria shares a disproportionate burden: as of 2020, Nigeria ranked fourth in the world by HIV prevalence (UNAIDS, 2020).

Even though we’ve seen progress toward an HIV vaccine, the experience with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy shows we must remain realistic. That’s why prevention, at primordial, primary, secondary and tertiary levels, remains critical.

Let real change begin with you. Adhere to preventive measures. Participate in awareness efforts. Stop the stigma. Support everyone living with HIV.

November 14th was the World Diabetes Day.

There is a growing rise in NCDs each day, we keep sharing a disproportionate burden and yet the health systems keeps failing. The cost of care is often out of pocket and relatively unaffordable by larger proportion of Nigerians. The health insurance scope is failing largely and ineffective.

Effort should focus on prevention from the primordial and primary level. However, there should be a discussion regarding sustainable health financing policies that will ensure equitable healthcare accessibility, early detection, screening and management.

Stay healthy.

Limit Building New Questionnaires When Standardized Ones Already Exist.

Standardized instruments are validated, pre-tested questionnaires used to measure things like knowledge, attitudes, quality of life, mental health, patient satisfaction, and more.

They boost the validity, reliability, and credibility of your research and make your findings comparable with global studies. They also come with clear scoring guidelines, cut-offs, and interpretation rules.

Common Examples Include: PHQ-9 (Depression), GAD-7 (Anxiety), PSS-10 (Stress), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) – Burnout, SF-36 / WHOQOL-BREF (Quality of Life), NSNS, PES-NWI (Nursing Practice & Satisfaction), IPAQ (Physical Activity), SERVQUAL (Service Quality), Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (TUQ) etc.

Using standardized tools strengthens your research, improves comparability, and increases your chances of high-quality publication.
