Abstract: This study examines the role of e-mentorship technologies in basketball talent development in Nairobi County, focusing on innovations like virtual coaching, performance analytics, and real-time feedback. Grounded in social systems theory, the research adopts a mixed-methods approach, gathering data from a sample of 380 respondents, including coaches, athletes, and mentors through surveys and interviews. Quantitative data is analyzed using descriptive and regression techniques, while qualitative data is coded thematically. The analysis reveals that 78% of athletes and coaches believe e-mentorship significantly enhances access to expert guidance, particularly in cases where in-person coaching is limited. Additionally, 65% of respondents agree that tools like performance analytics and virtual coaching improve training efficiency, although 42% cite technological literacy gaps, especially among older coaches, as barriers to full adoption. Furthermore, 58% identify poor internet connectivity as a major obstacle. Despite these challenges, 70% of participants’ express optimism about the potential of e-mentorship to revolutionize basketball talent development, provided there are investments in digital infrastructure and technological training. Qualitative narratives reinforce these findings, with athletes highlighting the convenience of virtual mentorship, while coaches emphasize the need for targeted training in using digital tools. The study concludes that while e-mentorship holds transformative potential, its success hinges on addressing infrastructure and training challenges. Recommendations include policy support for digital sports development, enhanced technological training, and expanded access to e-mentorship platforms.

Abstract: Diabetes has become a significant public health concern worldwide, calling for telemedicine interventions to mitigate this health problem. It is on this basis that health facilities are adopting telediagnosis intervention as an alternative to improved health outcomes. Telediagnosis is the process of using software, sensors, and communication devices to monitor, analyze, and diagnose. This study sought to examine the effect of telediagnosis on health outcomes of diabetic patients in Nairobi County, Kenya. This study was guided by self-determination theory. The study employed a descriptive design and targeted diabetic patients in Nairobi City County. Key informants recruited through purposive sampling and systematic simple random sampling was used to collect data through self-administered questionnaires and interviews. Two focus group discussions were conducted. Statistical analysis was done by use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.1 and by generating descriptive analyses. For the qualitative data, the researchers used recurring patterns to form topics. One of the major findings revealed that the majority, (43.9%) of the respondents indicated that telediagnosis was very good. This means mobile device connectivity for telediagnosis in Nairobi was reliable and should be encouraged for purposes of Mobile health services (mhealth) services, thus saving on time and resources that would have otherwise been used in making physical visits to healthcare facilities. The study recommends that the government partner with facilities and other stakeholders to create awareness of the availability of telehealth services.

Abstract: Most refugees have frequently been subjected to a variety of potentially traumatic events, which have a wide range of negative consequences for their mental health and quality of life. However, some have also reported positive personal changes, and post-traumatic growth related to these potentially distressing events. This study was restricted only to Nairobi County, which accommodates most of the urban refugees in Kenya (UNHCR, 2020). The study used a simple random sampling technique for the quantitative strand and purposive/convenient sampling technique for the qualitative strand to select respondents. A sample of 133 respondents, which was determined using Yamane’s formula, was selected. Quantitative data were collected using standardized questionnaires; the 21-item posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI) and 20-item Posttraumatic stress disorder checklist (PCL-5). This study adopted the embedded mixed method research design by combining correlational and phenomenological research design. The study revealed a weak negative relationship between Posttraumatic stress disorder and posttraumatic growth (p˂ 0.01, r = -.319).This implies, as individual who had gone through traumatizing experience progress in posttraumatic growth, the level of post-traumatic stress disorder decreases with time. This indicates that continuous psychological and psychosocial assistance are considered as coping skills that facilitate posttraumatic growth.
