Background of the Study
Community-based disease surveillance (CBS) is vital for the early detection and prompt response to epidemic-prone diseases. Nurses, with their healthcare expertise, are well-positioned to participate in CBS activities. In Bauchi State, the role of nurses in CBS and its impact on early outbreak detection has not been extensively studied.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the critical role of CBS in disease outbreak management, there is limited research on how nurses' involvement influences early detection in Bauchi State. Understanding this relationship is essential for enhancing public health strategies.
Objectives of the Study
1. Assess Nurses' Involvement: Evaluate the extent of nurses' participation in CBS activities in Bauchi State.
2. Analyze Impact on Detection: Examine how nurses' involvement affects the timeliness and accuracy of early outbreak detection.
3. Identify Challenges: Identify challenges faced by nurses in participating in CBS and propose solutions.
Research Questions
1. To what extent are nurses involved in CBS activities in Bauchi State?
2. How does nurses' involvement influence early outbreak detection?
3. What challenges do nurses encounter in CBS participation, and how can they be addressed?
Research Hypotheses
1. Nurses' active involvement in CBS significantly enhances early outbreak detection in Bauchi State.
2. Challenges such as inadequate training and resources hinder nurses' effective participation in CBS.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on nurses involved in CBS activities within Bauchi State. Limitations may include variability in individual participation levels and potential biases in self-reported data.
