His account followed closely that found in the literature above. In Ademuwagun, A., et al. However, there is still a lack of recognition by some countries and funding agencies of the importance of unintentional injuries as a health problem. So the accident has been prevented. This paper uses a small exploratory study in a Yoruba town in Nigeria to examine these points.

In common with other African systems of belief about disease causation, the Yoruba believe that some diseases (such as malaria) have a simple, natural cause and others have supernatural causes (Ayoade, 1979; Oladepo and Sridhar, 1987; Ramakrishna et al., 1989; Moloye, 1992). In cases where people hold `un-scientific' views about illness or disease causation, it is taken as evidence of their need for education. The data do not indicate whether those involved were car occupants, pedestrians or other vehicle users. Instead, when a person dies, it is the `wicked' who have `done their worst' or the `forces of evil' which have `struck again' (p. 76). NIH What is the way forward for accident prevention strategies? the programmes of economic reform imposed by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and the hardship these have led to for ordinary people) were mentioned by several contributors to the Accident Control Workshop held in Lagos in 1991 (Bolade and Ogunsaya, 1991) as contributing to the accident rate. In criminal law, it is defined as the actus reus (an action) from which the specific injury or other effect arose and is combined with … More generally, African culture is seen as an obstacle to overcome when implementing outbreak control. Nigeria has a rich cultural heritage. Secondly, there needs to be a more critical and self-reflexive critique of health promotion. Bolade, T. and Ogunsaya, A. Bastian (Bastian, 1992) notes that death is `rarely seen as natural in any Nigerian culture'. Needless to say, such research needs to be qualitative (Ramakrishna and Brieger, 1987). Safety as a Social Value. All entries relating to unintentional injuries were extracted for 1 year, from March 1993 to March 1994. These strategies have been framed within a particular discourse which stresses the importance of individual and collective empowerment, an internal locus of control and the value of rationality, and within countries at a certain level of development, with improving rather than declining indices of living standards. The Social and Political Impact. Judging Causality An observed statistical association between a risk factor and a disease does not necessarily lead us to infer a causal relationship; conversely, the absence of an … TOT or training of trainers of TBAs. Igbo-Ora has a well-developed system of primary health care and relatively effective systems for recording vital statistics data (Ayeni and Olayinka, 1979). The possibility of using data extracted from records held at hospitals and from death registers was also to be explored. and Adedewe, N. A. INTRODUCTIONDisease is a dynamic process and it is just opposite tothe health. An orthodoxy has developed [see Davison et al., p. 26 (Davison et al., 1997)]: ...the `locus of control' trend in psychology has operated within an ideological perspective which takes as axiomatic that belief in individual control is `correct', while belief in other agencies requires some kind of rectification (usually education). USA.gov. (1989) The IMF, the World Bank and the African Debt: 2. Accident prevention raises fundamental issues about different cosmologies, different views on accident causation and on the desirability of particular courses of action. On the other hand, action is less likely where someone's Perceived Locus of Control (to use Rotter's term) is external.  |  World Health Day in 1993 focused on injury prevention and the Eighth General Programme of Work of the WHO (1990–95) gave accident prevention a prominent place within `Health For All'. In other words a person who believes that life's choices are governed by the vagaries of fate or determined by a conspiracy of powerful others and faceless organizations will be less likely to mobilize the personal resources needed to face a potentially threatening situation. Ibadan University Press, Ibadan, pp. Traditional beliefs are perhaps becoming more important again in times of relative economic decline and political uncertainty. In Nigeria they have been described as an `important cause of morbidity', with the need for a `comprehensive accident prevention programme' (Onadeko, 1983). Bathing in boiling water results in many women being burned or disfigured; gishiri cut has resulted in vesicovaginal fistula in many young girls. (1979) Yoruba Beliefs and Sacrificial Rites.

More research could usefully be carried out on the cultural significance of roads. Poorer countries have lower private vehicle ownership, high rates of passenger vehicle accidents, use of open-back vehicles (Nelson and Strueber, 1991), reliance on motorcycles (Falope, 1991) and `token compliance' with, for example, motorcycle helmet wearing (Conrad et al., 1995) or seat belt use (Hauswald, 1997). (eds) (1991) Accident Control and Safety Measures in Mass Transit Operations in Nigeria. Different cosmologies exist outside this culture, often described as `fatalist' by Western commentators and as obstructing change. Ideas about illness causation may include such ideas as breach of taboo, soul loss, germs, upset in the hot-cold balance of the body, or a weakening of the body's immune system. Moreover, there is a fatality per accident rate which can be 20 times higher than in developed countries (Jacobs and Sayer, 1983). fallady@skannet.com (eds), African Therapeutic Systems. A. and Waziri, M. A. (1991) Empirical case studies of accidents and safety control of mass transit agencies in Nigeria. Like process theories, ‘mechanistic’ accounts of causation also seek to identify causation with the process by which the cause produces the effect (Glennan, 1996; Machamer et al., 2000; see Williamson, 2011 for a survey). Smith and Barss's (Smith and Barss, 1991) review of the literature suggests that this is, indeed, still a relatively neglected area. Ibadan University Press, Ibadan, pp. It has raised issues for research methodology, and has suggested fruitful avenues for more work. Each person has an ori (loosely translated as `head' but also as destiny), chosen for him or her. Likewise, people were losing faith with modern hospitals due to their lack of resources and poor staff morale, and turning back to the traditional structure of Ifa to find solutions to problems. The transfer of technical solutions to the problem of accident prevention clearly needs to take account of the level of development and availability of resources. The UK Department of Health (Department of Health, 1992) thus comments, `In theory at least, all accidents are preventable'. Sidell, M., Jones. In modern literature, we see a debate among scholars about the applicability of the causation or effectuation approach. Chapman & Hall, London. Medical students, who had worked in accident and emergency facilities, felt that the Yoruba belief in predestination was a `major problem' in relation to accident prevention work and that education was needed. This author is referring to Nigeria, which has one of the worst accident records in the world (Asogwa, 1992). All informants saw accidents as a major problem, but the lay people had little to say apart from shaking their heads and agreeing how sad it was. In Oyediran, A. 1995. The data from the death records does include information on how long the individual was hospitalized before death. Interestingly those Western anthropologists, such as Evans-Pritchard (Evans-Pritchard, 1937), so criticised now by African social scientists (Amadiume, 1987) have had their work used to try to understand contemporary lay beliefs in developed countries, e.g. Roberts, H., Smith, S. and Bryce, C. (1995) Children at Risk? Oladepo and Brieger (Oladepo and Brieger, 1986) showed that a third of all accidents on this road involved fatalities, with speeding causing 28.9% and `carelessness' 24% of accidents. Routes linking major metropolitan centres, such as the Ibadan–Lagos Expressway, are particularly dangerous. COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. There are major questions regarding who carries out the research and this author is well aware of the issues in researching African culture as a non-African (Dixey, 1985). Regarding `accidents', it is very possible that an injury was intended, as the individual has failed in some duty or was predestined to suffer such an `accident'. Likewise, several of the victims of snake bite, burns and other injuries were in hospital for several days if not weeks before death. Longman, London. It is felt that these data under-represent accidents. The outcome is not recorded (i.e. B. and Brieger, W. R. (eds), 25 Years of the Ibarapa Community Health Programme. There are measures which can be taken, however, to reduce accidents and their effects, and people's beliefs should not be taken to mean that they are satisfied with the status quo. The aims of this paper are to highlight the issue of accidents and unintentional injuries in developing countries, with a focus on Nigeria, and to question the suitability of transferring to poorer countries strategies formulated in Western, industrialized countries.

Also one sees that Nigeria as a country is made up of people from different ethnic groups and cultural practices with the dominant groups being Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas. The miasma theory (also called the miasmatic theory) is an obsolete medical theory that held that diseases—such as cholera, chlamydia, or the Black Death—were caused by a miasma (μίασμα, Ancient Greek for "pollution"), a noxious form of "bad air", also known as night air.The theory held that epidemics were caused by … Bastian, M. (1992) The world as marketplace: historical, cosmological, and popular constructions of the Onitsha market system. (1997) Debates and Dilemmas in Promoting Health. This is significant given that one of the main reasons for the larger fatality rate per accident in developing countries is the lack of timely hospital treatment. (Sahdev et al., 1994) have shown that after an accident, lack of pre-hospital care, delays in transportation and failure to diagnose correctly lead to a higher fatality rate. They could all tell `accident stories' and their dominant theme was of `candidacy' (Davison et al., 1991), i.e. The dominant discourse of contemporary health promotion tends to see fatalism as atavistic and unhelpful.

Also, `once your ori is working well, you believe that nothing will happen to you'. I demonstrate how local theories of illness transmission indicate a dynamic interaction between spatial domains and social relationships. Asogwa, p. 154 (Asogwa, 1992), has called for `technical know-how from advanced motorized countries where road accidents are well under control using well tested countermeasures' to be applied to Nigeria. Moreover, the Yoruba live in uncertain times, politically, socially and economically, and with possibly declining indices of development. However, mechanistic accounts are more pluralist in spirit, and do not try to locate a single feature of the … Health promotion is therefore faced with a dilemma.
