Teaching Traditional Medicine Through E-Books among Nigerian Community Health Workers: An Exploration

Traditional medicine remains a significant component of healthcare in Nigeria, particularly among rural communities where access to formal medical services is limited. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including a survey with quantitative questions and semi-structured interviews for qualitative insights. Data were collected from 150 CHWs across four states. Among the 150 respondents, 82% reported increased confidence in traditional medicine knowledge after using e-books, while 65% indicated that e-book materials were more engaging than traditional lecture-based methods. The use of e-books for teaching traditional medicine appears promising among Nigerian CHWs, enhancing their ability to provide comprehensive healthcare services. Further research should investigate the long-term impact and scalability of this educational approach in different geographical contexts.
